Wingers do nothing but whine.
synecdoche: figure of speech in which a part represents the whole, as in the expression “hired hands” for workmen or, less commonly, the whole represents a part, as in the use of the word “society” to mean high society. Closely related to metonymy—the replacement of a word by one closely related to the original—synecdoche is an important poetic device for creating vivid imagery.

He didn't want to confuse Bush. Unfortunately, his plan didn't work. Bush thinks Vienna is the capitol.
Oh, leave the guy alone. He wrote inartfully.
I'm sure they'll correct that mistake though. 
As I may have mentioned, my wife didn't know the capital of Canada until I told her (following Jon Stewart's piece on Canada's elections).
But she isn't the World Correspondent for the Washington Post.
The irony here, of course, is that Kagan writes for a paper based in a PLANNED FEDERAL CAPITAL.

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.
I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.
Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.
I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.
And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.
Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

FYI: Sydney has never been the federal capital of the Commonwealth of Australia. Melbourne was nominated for the role, but the NSW state govt. and Sydney's city govt. complained, leading to the designation of the ACT, annexed from NSW but over 100 miles from Sydney.
Construction began in 1913, and the federal parliament moved to the ACT in 1927. Until then, Melbourne was the federal capital.
Oh, and the ACT has federal representation, unlike DC.
Bush thinks Vienna is the capitol.

Okay, I have a problem with repugs puting a price on the heads of professors.
Why is it that repugs have no problem in condemning me and other so-called "liberals" in a heartbeat in public, yet in a classroom, a repug student can't effectively argue their point aganist a liberal professor?
Could it be that in a classroom, were both are confined for a specific time, the professor has the luxury of time to analyze the form of attack, the person delivering the attack, and is able to control the situation so that there are no outside distracts? Also, the professor is able to keep the offensive on the attacker by the confinement of the claassroom...he has no where to go..just sit there and have his arguement literally torn apart.
I think in a classroom, its like a bull in a ring. There's only going to be one victor. Amazing that repug students think they can take on a professor and expect to win.
Robert Kagan: "Western Europe will not be a strategic partner as it was during the Cold War, because Western Europeans no longer feel threatened and therefore do not seek American protection."
Or maybe it is because they do not trust the US anymore? I mean why would anyone co-operate with an administration that is so dishonest? Why would they risk their own best interests by doing so? It is not because they feel safe that they do not seek our support. It is that they feel less safe with it.

It was an explosive mixture that turned Dylan, by 25, into a cultural and political icon - playing to sold-out concert halls around the world, and followed by people wherever he went. Dylan was called the voice of his generation – and was actually referred to as a prophet, a messiah.
Yet Dylan says he saw himself simply as a musician: "You feel like an impostor when someone thinks you're something and you're not."
What was the image that people had of him? And what was the reality?
"The image of me was certainly not a songwriter or a singer," says Dylan. "It was more like some kind of a threat to society in some kind of way."
What was the toughest part for him personally? "It was like being in an Edgar Allan Poe story. And you're just not that person everybody thinks you are, though they call you that all the time," says Dylan. "'You're the prophet. You're the savior.' I never wanted to be a prophet or savior. Elvis maybe. I could easily see myself becoming him. But prophet? No."
He may not have seen himself as the voice of the '60s generation, but his songs were viewed as anthems that sparked a moment.
"My stuff were songs, you know? They weren't sermons," says Dylan. "If you examine the songs, I don't believe you're gonna find anything in there that says that I'm a spokesman for anybody or anything really."
"But they saw it," says Bradley.
"They must not have heard the songs," says Dylan.
"It's ironic, that the way that people viewed you was just the polar opposite of the way you viewed yourself," says Bradley.
"Isn't that something," says Dylan.

Actually we used to, but it sounds affected so I guess it's fallen out of favor. But it's a use of metonymy where the part stands for the whole.

Yes, we do: and we also referred to the Soviet government as Moscow. As with everything else extending quality to Israelis here gets you an accusation of Nazism, but that might largely be because their capital is Tel Aviv and they wish it was still-not-completely -conquered Jerusalem. China is routinely shortened to Beijing (sometimes still to the older Peking), the PDRK to Pyongyang, Japan to Tokyo. Notably we often do this to ourselves, talking about Washington. This is a perfectly common practice.

pigboy,
way back in the 70's when I was quite too young I was stationed in West Germany. From what I remember, there were at least 300,000 to 500,000 active duty troops along with support personnel, and dependents. Now there are just under 80,000. All those bases/posts that closed down also threw many Germans out of work too. Also, the support services to those bases/posts dried up as well. Then then German government decided to reunited East with West. The economy when into a freefall tumble. This was back in the early 1990's.
Simply stated, the US hasn't much of a stranglehold on the European throat anymore...there isn't much of a need for US troops to be here other than keep those Germans working at those bases employed.
Furthermore, many military retirees are having problems coping with Europe today. When they retired here, they had use of US facilities and medical services. There are few facilities and services are scares, especially medical. And the Gernmans are quite serious in that the US take care of their own, since the retirees have never put into the German social insurance programs for medical assistance.
In short, if the US picked up and left Europe there would be some discomfort, but no real pain...that's already happened. The US no longer has much clout over the Europeans as they once had during the Cold War. It's amazing the change in just 30 years. We are necessary only for the economic stimulis the base/post provides to the local economy, not as a deterent.
I do think I've heard of the American government being referred to as "Washington."
I have, too. But referring to it as "New York" wouldn't make quite as much sense.

On one hand our 'liberal' democracy is our most attractive attribute but isn't he ignoring the rapid errosion and attack on that 'liberal' democracy by those in power?
I think he may be taking alot for granted.

i like this one:
I've written a whole bunch of songs, so I can't say I didn't get to what I wanted to. As you get older, you get smarter and that can hinder you because you try to gain control over the creative impulse. Creativity is not like a freight train going down the tracks. It's something that has to be caressed and treated with a great deal of respect. If your mind is intellectually in the way, it will stop you. You've got to program your brain not to think too much.
We don't refer to the UK government as "London" or the French government as "Paris." I've never heard the government of Massachusetts being referred to as "Boston," though hear in PA we refer to our government as "Harrisburg."
I often hear federal governments referred to by the name of their capital quite often, so it doesn't strike me as unusual (other than getting the city itself wrong).
As to the Boston/Harrisburg thing. No, we don't refer to the gov't as "Boston," but it's not uncommon to hear it referred to as "Beacon Hill." I wonder if that doesn't have something to do with the relative place of state government in the life of a city. Do Californians refer to their gov't as Sacramento, or New Yorkers as Albany? It would seem that in the case of Harrisburg, Sacramento, and Albany, the business of government is the primary thing going on in those cities, where as with Boston state gov't is important, but the life of the city isn't necessarily concentrated around it.

Me, too. People talk about 'Washington' and 'Moscow' and 'Beijing' all the time. If one wishes to be more specific, then it's 'White House' or 'Kremlin', but same dealio.
Not with dith around, sorry. I love Dylan, by the way.

Me too, as I posted on the dead thread, he actually revolutionized pop music, whether people want to admit it or not. He wrote some of his best songs in under ten minutes when he was at his best, imho, then lost that ability, and it began to be like pulling teeth. He spent several years hanging out in the Village studying folk music and perfecting performance skills.
Carson City is the capital of Nevada. Thank god for Bugs Bunny, or I never would've known that.

That professor sounded like a very small man indeed.
Hey, it was over 15 years ago, and as I said he lived through WWII, so I understand his attitude. The Japanese were literally rather short, and he was actually quite tall.
Frankly, I think it was more irony than anything. He was pretty deadpan--once joked about how we knew the Allies had won the war because otherwise we'd all be driving German and Japanese cars. Only the slightest of smirks crossed his face, almost entirely unnoticed.
Nit -picking liberals. You cannot argue against his thesis so you use insignificant details. Liberals inattention to the big picture is why the USA is under threat today. Appeasement and PC were ineffective, we should have stood up to enemies of freedom, within and without the US, sooner and harsher. There is a lot of catching up ahead. But we will catch up.

Luckily, I kept a few acquaintances. One in Austria was so happy to see me again, everything I bought in his store was at cost! He knows I'll be back, especially since I'm moving to the Venice area and will only be 4 hours away.

yeah, but slow train coming still had a couple of good tunes. not his best, but still good.
dylan also said he intentionally made bad records just to see people fall all over them. wonder which ones he meant 
No offense, but Dylan was painful to watch. Maybe back in the day he was good, but I would not pay 10 cents to see him (Or the stones, and I used to like them) anywhere. Just my opinion, but I thought Tom Petty had the nasal singing perfected, but Dylan tops him by a mile.

Here's your hat. What's your hurry?
Maybe Vermont should boycott O'Reilly, make it a Fox-free state.
I'm out...
I like the Beatles, Dylan, and of course Johnny Cash, for that matter. The first two were burned into my brain and heart during my mostly drug-enhanced adolescent formative years. And I'd be surprised if I ever lost that lovin' feelin'.
(Bear in mind that I still mostly listen to the music made before 1975.)
There are always people who denounce such popular artists as monumental frauds and mountebanks. (As do I, although I can't think of a good example at the moment.) And there are arguments within arguments about where the line gets drawn between the ripe and rotten phases of a given artist's body of work.
Chicago Dyke (where are you?) scorns the Beatles. Now anti-Dylanist voices weigh in. I wince.
I respect opposing points of view, but I can't really process reasoned criticism of music that I like. For me, it's like being harangued for preferring, say, a veal parmagiana grinder with a black-and-white shake to Filet De Tofu with Apricot Dijon Sauce and a fine wine-- or raw veggies with a glass of distilled water.
I personally think that value or worth or whatever you want to call the quality that makes creative works attractive and rewarding is very much transactional.
The hoary old chestnut that there is no accounting for taste remains valid and operable.
Liberals inattention to the big picture is why the USA is under threat today
Under threat? Under thret from whom? A rag-tag bunch of terrists? Don't be a fucking moron.
What a waste of $15,000. What a dumb prosecutor.
Well, now we know the Pentagon was bugging the Catholic Workers, too.
the truth, of course, is that dylan's motivations grew and changed may times over his career.
Are you familiar with the idea of "author function"? If I remember correctly (many years ago) the premise is that the concept of "individual" is artificial and that artists are literally not the same people at different points in time. So to ascribe generic beliefs and attitudes across someone's ouevre is simplistic and usually dishonest. And of course that's compounded when like Dylan you're writing in different voices and ironic tensions.
That's the long way of saying I agree with you and your interpretation has a lot of basis in literary theory.

No offense, but Dylan was painful to watch.
NTodd's Pa took me to see Dylan, at my request, for my 20th bday. That was back in the 80s, and he was pretty painful to watch then. Shit, when he came out for an encore and played Maggie's Farm, it took us forever to even figure out what tune it was.

bugs bunny would hat ruppert. bugs prefers quality cartoons.
Ruppert knows my site is "liberal hate speech" - even though he's never visited it.
He reminds me of a crazy wing-nut cousin of mine. He applied to be a CIA agent. The form letter he got back said something about not needing his services at that time. He was convinced that meant that he was secretly a spy - because he thought "that time" was over before he
got the reply. He had three cats, and as a good Catholic thought getting them fixed was against God's will. Within a few years they had multiplied enough that he had to leave his house and live in a motel. But he would hang out in his back yard with a 22 to make sure no one went into the house. Eventually we got the police and SPCA involved. The guy was Ruppy's psychic twin.

I am glad that liberal hate speech is being monitored. You should have something to worry about if you have something to hide.
I don't hide my contempt for you and the despots in power.
I was then, and still am now, into post-apocolyptic/distopian fiction.

Me, too. Have you seen Testament? WAAAAHHH!
Oh, children, children.
Fail Safe defines the life some of us lived thru. Say, from about the age of 4 to the age of 20.... Why do you imagine so many of us are a bit numbed and unimpressed by the Shrubbery?
GWPDA -- It was a scary time to be a kid. I remember my folks being extremely nervous during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I didn't really understand what was going on, but there was tension. Plus all the duck and cover drills, and the constant propaganda about the evil menace of the redskis . . . no wonder I drink.
Nesting owls?
I wish Dumbass Ruppert would explain to me how practicing one's right to free speech is hate speech or treason.

Oooohhhh, you speak treason!

I always thought Dr. Strangelove more accurately reflected the zeitgeist.
From watertiger's link up there, I see Ted Olson's getting hitched to someone he met at the Kentucky Derby in 2002, Lady Evelyn Booth.
Royalty, you ask? Nope. Nmaed after an aunt.
Lady was the name of my m-i-l's last dog. Here, Lady. Good girl.
He's talking about Sydney Love, the British Prime Minister's mistress, who sets all of Austrailian foreign policy.
Does anyone fact check this amateur doofus who is the "global affairs" columnest for Pravda on the Potomac?
If the simplest, most basic facts ,like what city is the capital of a country...how hard is it to look at a fricking (with laser beams) map of Australia and see which city is represented by a star, is beyond the hacks of the WaPo, can we be surprised that Pants On Fire Howell is so defensive when their inattention to the most basic concepts of Journalism is so lax and the damn peasants (aka the readers who are their most important product to sell their real customers...the advertisers) dare to point out that they are WRONG?
And sorry for the really, really long sentence.
And the misspellings, and the comma/space out of place, and for the fact that the Ruppert idiot shares, to my eternal shame, my first name.
Ruppert needs a clue-by-four upside the head. Probably won't do any good, but it will make me feel better.
"...until the print media can find a way to get its facts right on a reliable basis, I think people are going to continue to rely on blogs for most of their news."
count me in. Except for sports updates, Krugman and Herbert were the last reason to read any US corporate media newspaper. (Years ago found right wing infotainment on TV stomach turning and stopped altogether.) Once the Times locked Krugman and Herbert behind 'Times Select' thar twerent no reason tat tall to look at papers.

Who the Hell is Sydney?
Bianca?
See, Australia? You thought, by flirting with Bush's America and lovingly fetching his beer in Iraq, he'd respect you. And then, in the throes of passion, he calls out the wrong name.
We told you. You wouldn't listen.
"Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands.
What did I win?
hodari2006'
Umm, you win a bucket of rollmops. While Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands, it isn't the nation's seat of government. That's The Hague.
So saying 'Amsterdam" when referring to the Netherlands government would make no sense.
No, I think he meant Sydney, as in the city of Sydney, as opposed to the capital of Australia (Canberra). See, you thought that he was trying to use the capital city as a substitute for its foreign policymakers (as one might say "Washington thinks that..." or "Moscow thinks that...") -- but he was just referring to Sydney. Y'know, good ole Sydney. Sydney likes being close to other countries, regardless of what Canberra thinks...or Melbourne, for that matter. Melbourne is very stand off-ish if you haven't noticed, especially since the Olympics.
