there are you happy now?
Hey
this painpill is kicking my ass. wheeeee!!!
Sweet, I just finished looking at the day's links and up pops a new thread.
I'm twisting one up now. It'll get sparked, have patience.

Took the family to see Chronicles of Narnia tonight. Thumbs up, although personally I preferred any of "The Ring" trilogy. As for the religious message, the only thing overt I saw was the children were referred to as, "son of Adam", or "daughter of Eve". Anyone else seen it? I'll give it a 3-1/2 on my five scale.

Whom amongst us does not love the Prior?
Hi Prior. Well, it's all been down so much lately. I think it's all fixed. I am sorry if I've been remiss, but I love to hear from you.
House republican calls for "soul searching" and internal elections of all leadership positions. Puts the question to Speaker Denny Hastert's leadership as well.
Why shouldn't Hastart be taken down as well? He is everybit as much involved in the selling of the House to lobbyists as any of them.

Sorry to pimp out another blog, but here's a taste:
Pere, you are a very odd bird. You can't say "yes," because that would be a lie, so you say "yes?" which is who knows what. Your whole schtick is to avoid thinking straight for two seconds in a row. That was pretty obvious when you reported the Mecca to crash-site direction rather than the crash-site to Mecca direction because it was the Mecca to crash-site direction that was wrong.
How about somebody else? There has to be some rationality amongst the lot of you, or what the hell are you doing?

Hey Vicki -- did you see my suggestion in the last thread to lend it to Hecate for her 50th celebration?
I don't even want to go into the namestealers. They've been all over the place this week. It bugs me, but what the fuck?
I can't do anything about it.
NTodd, the other night one stole your name and posted a picture which was supposed to be linking to me of a 400 # hag who was holding Valentine's candy boxes.

fleas the size of rats
sucked on rats the size of cats
and 10,000 peopleoids split into small tribes
coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers,
like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love Me Avenue
Wrapping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox

and cracked emerald
..Any day now

Computer chips get under skin of enthusiasts
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/
20060...HNlYwMlJVRPUCUl
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Forgetting computer passwords is an everyday source of frustration, but a solution may literally be at hand -- in the form of computer chip implants.
With a wave of his hand, Amal Graafstra, a 29-year-old entrepreneur based in Vancouver, Canada, opens his front door. With another, he logs onto his computer.
Tiny radio frequency identification (RFID) computer chips inserted into Graafstra's hands make it all possible.
"I just don't want to be without access to the things that I need to get access to. In the worst case scenario, if I'm in the alley naked, I want to still be able to get in (my house)," Graafstra said in an interview in New York, where he is promoting the technology. "RFID is for me."
The computer chips, which cost about $2, interact with a device installed in computers and other electronics. The chips are activated when they come within 3 inches of a so-called reader, which scans the data on the chips. The "reader" devices are available for as little as $50.
Information about where to buy the chips and readers is available online at the "tagged" forum, (http://tagged.kaos.gen.nz/) where enthusiasts of the technology chat and share information.
Graafstra said at least 20 of his tech-savvy pals have RFID implants.
"I can't feel it at all. It doesn't impede me. It doesn't hurt at all. I almost can't tell it's there," agreed Jennifer Tomblin, a 23-year-old marketing student and Graafstra's girlfriend.

Hugh Thompson Jr., a former Army helicopter pilot honored for rescuing Vietnamese civilians from his fellow GIs during the My Lai massacre, died Friday. He was 62.
Thompson, whose role in the 1968 massacre did not become widely known until decades later, died at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Alexandria, La., said hospital spokesman Jay DeWorth.
This is my first visit to Eschaton all day, so forgive me if this is redundant.

Seriously, I hate going to GR -- not sure why -- I guess there is this long drive of flatness north of Kalamazoo & when you arrive, you are in GR -- although I like the Mexican restaurant, Alma Latina -- but it's not in a good part of town
It has been years since I was there -- to hear Bishop Kallistos Ware speak, IIRC (he is Greek Orthodox -- he is a monk of Patmos -- before he was a bishop he gave me his blessing -- I was a novice at the time -- he is a good guy)
The left is anti-semitic towards religious Jews, but not towards atheistic Jews.
SEE? See? The division of the good (useful) versus bad (threatening) Jews the modern survival of Jew hate by conservatives too pragmatic to waste their time being the ignorantly thrown together stereotypes virulently propagated by the ADL.

The only thing I worry about is that I would be an attorney for the people, which will probably pay about $ 15,000 a year by the time I graduate. (Based on the way in which my salary is retracting, not increasing.)
Yeah. The pay prolly does suck. And the burnout rate is high. But it would prolly be civil service -- so the bennies are pretty good!!!

i used to have a kitty that would go fishing with me. i'd give her a little chub that i'd catch to keep her happy. she'd be on it before it was off the hook.

DWD, we didn't say to shrink the picture. Although that could serve to make the tower kind of mysterious, and therefore more useful than the previous. Why is the "R" so big? Your name (and each line or item) should be one font size even if you have lower casing. "A novel" is good, colors are good (although blue against black might be risky). It looks much more effective.

Bush using a little-noticed strategy to alter the balance of power
By Ron Hutcheson and James Kuhnhenn
Knight Ridder Newspapers
WASHINGTON - President Bush agreed with great fanfare last month to accept a ban on torture, but he later quietly reserved the right to ignore it, even as he signed it into law.
Acting from the seclusion of his Texas ranch at the start of New Year's weekend, Bush said he would interpret the new law in keeping with his expansive view of presidential power. He did it by issuing a bill-signing statement - a little-noticed device that has become a favorite tool of presidential power in the Bush White House.
In fact, Bush has used signing statements to reject, revise or put his spin on more than 500 legislative provisions. Experts say he has been far more aggressive than any previous president in using the statements to claim sweeping executive power - and not just on national security issues.
"It's nothing short of breath-taking," said Phillip Cooper, a professor of public administration at Portland State University. "In every case, the White House has interpreted presidential authority as broadly as possible, interpreted legislative authority as narrowly as possible, and pre-empted the judiciary."
Signing statements don't have the force of law, but they can influence judicial interpretations of a statute. They also send a powerful signal to executive branch agencies on how the White House wants them to implement new federal laws.
In some cases, Bush bluntly informs Congress that he has no intention of carrying out provisions that he considers an unconstitutional encroachment on his authority.
"They don't like some of the things Congress has done so they assert the power to ignore it," said Martin Lederman, a visiting professor at the Georgetown University Law Center. "The categorical nature of their opposition is unprecedented and alarming."

well, i've heard both arguments. the best was late one nite on a radio show the interviewer asked "they say you're a great guitar player, do you agree" neil replied, tounge in cheek but sounding serious enuf "well, i figure i'm about as good as hendrix."
i once had a photographer tell me my lighting was primitive. it's true, but fuck him anyway. hell, most photographers don't even like mapplethorpe, but that's just 'cause they don't care about keeping it real.

Paranoia and stupidity. Quite a pungent mix.
The funny thing is, if Bush advocated that everyone get RFID chips implanted for "reasons of national security", Ruppert would be the first troll to jump in and accuse us of treason if we objected.
I'd actually be surprised if the "Illegal spying on our own citizens is OK" Republicans didn't try and ram something like this down our throats in the near future if they manage to stay in power.
Hmm, maybe I can negotiate with Thers and drive a wedge between the ranks of Al Hatqa.

Prior, you recognize common sense when you see it. I would vote this way, as well. Unexpected late-night visits from ex-anythings are not optimific. The light of day is a much, much better venue from which to proceed - if, in fact, proceeding i s what is wanted.

Shouldn't the bugs be larger? Or is this, like, the bug nursery?
The movie is excellent in part because Heinlein was admiring the Nazis and Verhoeven was attacking them. It is also well put together flick that suffered because it came to be fashionable to attack Verhoeven. Showgirls is better (for sheer unrepentant trashiness if nothing else) than anything Speilberg made (exempting Jaws or a conjectural version of Minority in which the ending is changed).

I don't have your number, but I'll be there Thursday. Elevinish.
I'll be here with bells on. 'Cuz I'm kinda kinky that way.
They really need to start calling ahead.
"Eli, are you going to be home later? Because I'm going out with the girls after work to see male strippers, and by 12, 12:30 should be really tanked on sloe gin fizzes. Is it okay if I come over later and try to get laid?"
(/Eli's voice mail)
I took a shower and did not answer the door.

Whew! Has he gone?
Sometimes, things need to be said between two people. Not all relationships are as cut and dry.
Especially if his hairstylist just died.
There is someone with whom I am still hoping to say kind things...
Awww, shucks
Good evening all.
Hey Tom, it was wonderful to get to meet you - thanks for the geek-shopping trip. Saved my butt the next day when I broke Mr. Lb's computer.
Eli--the bells are fine, but skip the elf shoes this time, okay?

Prior,
I don't want him back. At all.
He shot his proverbial wad with me. And he is selfish.
Sorry. Not interested.

Ah, no Naziism in Starship Troopers. A half-assed book that started as a series for Boy's Life - yeah, the Boy Scout magazine - that RAH turned into a short novel of patriotism & service (what the Scouts wanted him writing about) without making the notional political notions clearer.
Basically, the thread was that citizenship - the franchise - needed to be earned, and the way to earn it was public service. While there were many ways to do so, the novel was about military service - and it was also a bildingsroman about what it was like to go through Basic, what mil service was like, what wartime service was like. Again, all very rah-rah for Boy Scout/ 1950's anti-Communist military recruiting purposes. but not actual fascism, just the 50's era idea that the soldier was the good guy.
Whcih today is fascism to many, granted. But the reason the enemy were insects was to avoid complexity and ambiguity. Again, written for early teens in the squeaky-cleanest venue imaginable during Ward cleaver America. and obviously easy to parody and to spin various ways.
Probably his worst book - certainly his worst mistake was writing it, and being forever measured by this project.

About that bullshit from Bush about Bill Signing dicta. It is not in the Constitution. The president does not make laws; that is reserved for the Congress. In fact, as the below shows, bills can become law even without his signature. But he is not part of the Legislative process.
It turns out the whole idea of the bill signing statement was first articulated by Alito while working for George the I.
Article I. - The Legislative Branch
Section 1 - The Legislature
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Section 8
Powers of Congress: (include)
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
SECTION 7
Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

Officials Focus on a 2nd Firm Tied to DeLay
By ANNE E. KORNBLUT and GLEN JUSTICE
Published: January 8, 2006
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/
0...8alexander.html
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 - Having secured a guilty plea from the lobbyist Jack Abramoff, prosecutors are entering a new phase of the corruption investigation in Washington and are focusing on a lobbying firm that has even closer ties to Tom DeLay, the former House majority leader who is under scrutiny in the scandal.
The firm, Alexander Strategy Group, is of particular interest to investigators because it was founded by Edwin A. Buckham, a close friend of Mr. DeLay's and his former chief of staff, and has been a lucrative landing spot for several former members of the DeLay staff, people who are directly involved in the case have said.
Although the firm's name has circulated in connection with the case for many months, prosecutors' questions about Mr. Buckham and Alexander Strategy - which did not respond to requests for comment - have intensified recently, participants in the case said.
The firm openly promoted the idea that it could deliver access to Mr. DeLay, who has denied any wrongdoing but abruptly announced Saturday that he would not try to regain his leadership post. Now the very connections with Mr. DeLay that formed the backbone of Alexander Strategy, put together with Mr. Abramoff's help, have put the future of the firm in doubt.

didn't that Alexander Group also do some of that fake good news propaganda in Iraq?
Kind of gives Alexander the "Great" an even worse name in Persia (although I guess every culture he invaded has a sort of ownership of him)
But this is all an aside in an attempt to erase the image of K-Lo jumping up and down.
Hi all!
well, since i haven't weighed in and it's already decided, no damned way i'd answer that door. but i never answer doors, or the phone.
no, prior and others called it. 'course since i'm a guy if i saw an opportunity i might have adjusted my opinion.
It takes me too long to read and write this stuff. I know I'm too late: Vicki. Don't open the door! Sure you're emotionally naked and sure it could be more fun than blogging while watching a movie, but the guy's clearly a loser.

Synopsis:
Deep in the Mississippi Delta, Norman Bates cousin (Pauley Shore) has a pest extermination job at a strip club go bad when mutant cockroaches from a nearby nuclear power plant react strangely to the insecticide and attack the exotic dancers silicone breast implants.
With the aid of a spunky dancer (Jenna Jamison), a passing space alien (Nina Hagen), a Toro Weed Wacker and a mysterious stranger ( John Malkovitch ), a new fast food treat is discovered.

Vicki -- I'm late to the party (and leaving again shortly) but it sounds like you did the right thing. It can be difficult, obviously.
I once met up with my first love in NYC. I had just broken up with my second love and decided it would be OK to casually see lover #1 for dinner. Well, dinner turned into a long walk which turned into passionate kissing and groping and...I had to decide what to do. Eventually I chose to NOT go to his apartment because I knew we'd screw our brains out and while funfunfun, it would also bring an emotional price which I would not be able to afford at that time.
Maybe another time would have been OK, but not that night.

I'm quite happy to be moving for that reason alone, but there are other, more positive reasons for the move too. I don't think I'd move just because I hate this political climate, but it is a plus.
Somewhere along the line, the bug movie got reeeeeaallly boring
I've got the local PBS station on, they're playing "The Great Escape".
Christopher Atkins has really grown as an actor since The Blue Lagoon.
Robert Heinlein was like Larry Niven: a genius made into an idiot by segregating his brilliance to irrelevant charming little mathematical and astrophysical word problems.
The movie is excellent in part because Heinlein was admiring the Nazis and Verhoeven was attacking them
Jebus, which ST did you watch? The movie sucked in part because Verhoeven never read the fucking book. Find me the page where the Sargeent throws the knife into the recruit's hand, hey? Show me where RAH describes the Nazoid society Verhoeven assaults us with in the movie. Verhoeven could easily have made a film that told the story, and left out the lectures, and even had giant cockroaches devouring spaceships, or whatever, but he chose to shred a major book by a--arguably the--bigtime SF author, because he didn't care for what he'd been told the book was about. If he says he read it, I question whether he was awake and sober at the time.
Time for the cave in
thus the name of the movie.

Environmentally friendly bugs?
The movie sucked in part because Verhoeven never read the fucking book.
The movie rocked because Verhoeven never burdened himself with it, yes. We are in agreement.
Find me the page where the Sergeant throws the knife into the recruit's hand, hey?
There were numerous trite vignettes of the Sergeant's fighting knowledge, which were of a pulp character (actually, a cut above, but no matter), and already mimicked or otherwise made old. Verhoeven really couldn't just film the book, but added episodes that captured the same flavor and accomplished the same things.
And since nobody's exactly clamoring for me to stay, I guess I'll go moon after Cary Grant and see you all tomorrow. Have a good night everyone! It was a good day.

The best part is when the cops get instant unquestioning cooperation from probably stoned and halfway sexed driveway attendees after announcing the approach of the monster bunnies.
Also:
Early there is a scene where all the adult characters present, including DeForest "Bones/McCoy" Kelly, spank (in a friendly, vague manner) the very young girl as she walks away. This always bothered us.

As long as it shuts him up.
Heinlein is better read as a 16 year old.

Anyone ever see a movie called The Killer Shrews?
Now there is one high-larious movie. A bunch of people trapped in a house on an island with killer giant tree shrews trying to gnaw their way in through the walls. The shrews are actually played by dogs with long fake fur added and prosthetic sabreteeth. Deliciously bad.
have a nice glass of New Zealand unoaked chardonney?
Count me in!!
SSquirrel is pissed
The bugs have jet vents?
What's that about?

Where can we view the rest of it?

Well, I'd have to make it first.
It is an appealing concept, yes?

That was supposed to be on a local independent station tonight but was pre-empted for a college basketball game. I was very disapointed...

Ripley, Sigourney Weaver's character said in the Alien fest movies they had today, "They're going to come after us because that's where the meat is."
Eli--you like strange girls. We've seen no underwear yet, BTW.
This is true. Good thing she said she was 18.
We've seen no underwear yet, BTW.
And because of that, my rating of this movie goes from 1 1/2 stars to 1/2 star.
Go to Tbogg and read his Bedlamite post. Tbogg's regulars are brilliant as are all the posters on this site. Cheers.
Oh, and for what it's worth, the daughter is 23.

I know, and it's a problem for me. I'm so freaking normal I couldn't possibly draw Eli's interest...
Larry Niven screwed up one of the most forgiving idea in fiction, the Multiverse or Infinite Alternate Realities, by being a libertarian. He postulated an infrastructure that would allow a cancer-plagued Earth to harbest a cancer cure from another Earth that had one. A novelist would've made a series out of the necessary and probably inefficient exploration process that would follow in a real Earth; but in libertarian Earth, as soon as you get noncount government out, all problems quickly solve themselves. Larry would never have been able to see the alternative. In real life the most exciting part of a new system is working out the inevitably unexpected bugs, but on libertarian Earth, how can there be bugs?
But now the Steve McQueen motorcyle scene from The Great Escape is on, so that's an improvement.
Her role in the last two Alien movies was too dark for me.
Eli,
I am impressed, someone let her make movies after this one.
I know, and it's a problem for me. I'm so freaking normal I couldn't possibly draw Eli's interest...
That's what the underwear is for.
Underwear time?
"They're going to come after us because that's where the meat is."
Bothered the fuck out of us. Giger creates the first truly alien extraterrestrial and Cameron not only totally brushes him off, doesn't invite him back, but reduces the xenomorph to a large goth ant.
Underwear time?
David (Austin Tx)
Oh well.
That's what the underwear is for.

Note to self: remember to buy some underwear.
I enjoyed the first 2 Alien movies. Both worked for entirely different reasons, but the rest were crap.

Cool.

It was a great Vietnam movie, at a time when conservatives were trying to reclaim vets and every movie was about Vietnam. It shouldn't be thought of as an Alien sequel. In fact the Alien cycle is great because of the degree to which each film was by a totally different director who made it toally his own.
Also, sheets.
Verhoeven could easily have made a film that told the story, and left out the lectures, and even had giant cockroaches devouring spaceships, or whatever, but he chose to shred a major book by a--arguably the--bigtime SF author, because he didn't care for what he'd been told the book was about. If he says he read it, I question whether he was awake and sober at the time.
Doozer, (truncated)
Interesting, isn't it, how much *shit* we read that has been written by an "authority" that really has just depended on his/her mood at the time.
Damn! No wonder NetFlix doesn't have Swamp Slut II!

The Murmers
By Gina Bowers
It’s Winter Solstice, at a rare free show at The Key Club, one of the largest venues on the Hollywood Sunset Strip. Hip, hot girls pack the house, as Heather Grody and Leisha Hailey – the Murmers – hold court.
In shiny, skin-ass, tight vinyl pants, Grody takes the spotlight, rocking the mic and strutting as she sings the tongue-in-cheek favorite, “Rock Star.” Occasionally, she fires a friendly dig at her best friend Hailey.
Sporting a sexy, sleeveless vintage dress and motorcycle boots, Hailey returns the blaze of banter and leads into one of the group’s more saucy and satirical numbers, “Sucker Upper.” With its refrain of “sucker upper, star fucker,” the song holds particular irony for the pair, who count a number of stars among their inner circle.
k.d. lang, Hailey’s girlfriend of more than two years, is in the audience, chumming around with Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche. When Grody lays down at the edge of the stage, still playing her guitar, the ladies in the front row rush the stage in true girl-groupie style, reaching out to touch her and scream with delight. Cat-calls, whistles and peals of laughter punctuate the set, and all is merry and bright.

Someone’s In The Desert With Dinah
By Gretchen Lee
Photographs by Angela Cappetta
Let the boys have their circuit parties. For women, the Palm Springs Dinah Shore weekend March 25-28 is the biggest lesbian pride event in the world – with 20,000 women expected to converge in the desert for four days of dance parties, concerts, comedy and lounging by the pool.
Although “the Dinah” isn’t the only show in town – any time this many lesbians get together, it’s a crowd big enough to attract attention.
Especially when you hear the stories.
“People drink a lot and they get a little crazy,” admits Joani Weir, an event promoter who produced lesbian parties during the Dinah Shore weekend from 1990 to 1997.
“One girl wanted to go-go dance naked on the balcony, and I had to tell her it wasn’t OK,” says Weir. On another occasion, she recalls, a poolside ménage á trois was initiated amidst a crowd of mildly disinterested, if not slightly annoyed sunbathers. “You don’t just go to a public pool and think that you can have sex there,” says Weir. “I had to speak with them twice, but when I got them to stop, everyone at the pool applauded me.”

Behind the Wheel
By Trisha Todd
As the lead in the lesbian classic film “Claire of the Moon,” Trisha Todd discovered truths about her life and her loves that parallel the role she portrayed on-screen. She explores these themes in her autobiographical novel “The Drive”, soon to be published by Naiad press. Read on for an excerpt that gives fresh insight into one extraordinary woman’s life.
The night before I moved to Iowa I got scared. I don’t think I had second thoughts. Well, maybe I did, but mostly I felt like I did when I was little and we would go swimming at the loody in Silverton, Ore. I would stand on the rock ledge waiting to jump. It was cool there beneath the trees, cold when you stood there wet after swimming. To get there you would have to climb up the slick, mossy rocks that hung out over the water; a constant stream of water kept it all moist and damp-smelling cool, a coolness so strong it runs all the way through your body, cleaning your mind and soul.
You Mean There’s Golf Here, Too?
By Nancy Levin
Of all the lesbians who flock to Palm Springs the last weekend of March, only a fraction actually make it to the golf course to watch the event that ostensibly started it all – the Nabisco Dinah Shore Golf Tournament.

According To
Coming To Terms With The Religious Right
By Donna Minkowitz
I started to write about the religious right eight years ago because I was afraid of them. Very afraid. I never imagined I would wind up writing a book about my similarity to them.
Whenever you find yourself haunted by someone’s evil, more is going on than meets the eye. When you find yourself consumed with thoughts of the evildoer, yearning to hurt them or even just to make them listen, very often it’s yourself you’re being haunted by. How else could the people that you hate make such an impression behind your skull?
