GravatarCould you tell me where "Jeebus" comes from?


GravatarThat would be just too sweet, seeing the Starr fall from the sky...


Gravatarand Bob Barr is against the overthrow of our constitution! it's a twofer:
'Barr answered in the affirmative. "Do we truly remain a society that believes that . . . every president must abide by the law of this country?" he posed. "I, as a conservative, say yes. I hope you as conservatives say yes."

But nobody said anything in the deathly quiet audience.'

Wow. Things like this actually give me hope.


GravatarThese creatures really do think that they are entitled to do anything they want to, don't they?


GravatarThe other irony is that Ken Starr committed this act in an attempt to do something decent, trying to get someone off death row.

He will probably just say "fuck it, I'm going back to being evil".

After he is disbarred.


GravatarSuborning Perjury is encouraging someone to lie under oath, i.e. a false affidavit.

A night on the town of Sioux Falls with Uncle Smokes!

We'll go to the mall a look at all the stores going out of business, and then it's off to The Royal Fork for a plateful of fried chicken, roast beef, onion rings, and lots of gravy.

Then it's back to my run-down apartment, where you'll trip over all all the crap I just can't bring myself to get rid of. I'll brew some coffee in a suspiciously seedy kitchen, and serenade you on the keyboard with a boogie woogie--all while you choke on the clouds of cigarette smoke wafting about my yellowed walls.

Truly a night to remember.


GravatarI know we have all heard enough of the bs that is going on on the hill. My question is when is the house of cards going to fall down? This corruption cannot continue. Think of the children.

GravatarDidn't they execute Morales recently?

Anyway, how are you guys enjoying the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic retrospective (aka the 2006 Torino Olympics)?

I'm almost beginning to think there is no Olympics going on in Italy, like the manned lunar landing that was alleged to have taken place on a sound stage in Houston.

As you all can probably tell, I've soured on the Olympics in recent years, with its looped commentary pretending to be spontaneous, the NBA and NHL ringers that don't even march with the rest of the team during the opening ceremonies, the commercial endorsements...

This is not your father's Olympics, that's for sure.

An advance note on this w/e's Assclowns of the Week. This is going to be a special, expanded edition featuring not ten, not twelve, but fifteen of the week's most notable assclowns. I felt that I couldn't do justice to the rampant stupidity and racism of the past week by squeezing them into ten spots. So stay tuned...


GravatarAtrios:

As I understand it from my post-Vatican II nuns, Jeebus DO love you that much -- poor guy jes don't have a hand in affairs of this ol' planet. See also the Rabbi's G-d in When Bad Things Happen to Good People. Jesus and G-d don't do good and don't do bad, and that's why breakin' levees and World Series wins and Grammys attained for mash-ups ain't governed by no Supreme Bean.

But bad people stay bad mostly and that's why we get the occasional frisson of that black magic schadenfreude and or comeuppance.

GravatarToo, too weird!


Have you heard the one about Michael Jackson and the Pope?

Turns out, they haven't either.

On Monday, an Italian priest who runs a music label specializing in religious songs indicated that Jackson might be one of several artists to sing on a CD made up of Pope John Paul II's prayers set to music.

"It is only a hope, an idea," the Reverend Giuseppe Moscati told the Associated Press of his plans for the album, which would be released via the Edizioni Musicali Terzo Millennio label.

He said that his music industry contacts had attempted to discuss the project with Jackson, but "we haven't met him or heard from him."

As consumed as he's been with his move to Bahrain, job hunt and various outings to shopping malls, it's understandable that Jackson hasn't found the time to respond to Moscati's inquiries. (Or to finish up his Hurricane Katrina relief single. But that's entirely another matter.)

On the other hand, Jackson's failure to weigh in on his proposed participation could also be due to the fact that he "is unaware of this project," according to his spokeswoman, Raymone Bain.

"Contrary to published reports in Italy, and the United States, Michael Jackson has not participated in any discussions with the Vatican, or Edizioni Musicali Terzo Millennio, an Italian music label specializing in religious songs, to record music to Pope John Paul II's prayers," Bain stated.

"None of Mr. Jackson's authorized representatives have contacted either the Vatican, or Edizioni Musicali Terzo Millennio, regarding this proposed project."

Bain said that Jackson was contacted by the Vatican "about a year ago" about working on some music.

"Because he was in trial at the time, he was not able to focus on it," she said, referring to Jackson's child-molestation trial, which ended in June with his acquittal on all charges.

For its part, the Vatican has said it is unaware of any contact with Jackson.

Edizioni Musicali Terzo Millennio has in the past released CDs of famous actors reading poems penned by the Pope. Moscati said any musical project released by the label would have to show "respect for the greatness of John Paul."

He said he thought that the "image" created by Jackson's trial would be downplayed by including other artists in the project, but declined to name other singers in consideration.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Airport baggage screeners found a human head with teeth, hair and skin in the luggage of a woman who said she intended to ward off evil spirits with it, authorities said Friday.

Myrlene Severe, 30, a Haitian-born permanent U.S. resident, was charged Friday with smuggling a human head into the U.S. without proper documentation.

Customs and Border Protection officials found the head Thursday, after Severe arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on a Lynx International Airlines flight from Cap Haitien, Haiti, said Barbara Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Miami.

"It still had teeth, hair and bits of skin and lots of dirt," Gonzalez said.

Severe told authorities she had obtained the package in Haiti for "use as a part of her voodoo beliefs," ICE Special Agent Erick Hernandez wrote in an affidavit in support of a criminal complaint.

"Severe also stated that the purpose of the package was to ward off evil spirits," Hernandez wrote.

Severe, who also was charged with failing to declare the head and transporting hazardous material in air commerce, faces a maximum of 15 years in prison if convicted of all charges, prosecutors said.

Severe remained held Friday in lieu of a $100,000 bond. She is due back in federal court March 2.

Frist Slipped Language Into Defense Bill To Protect Pharmaceutical Companies From Lawsuits...

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and House Speaker Dennis Hastert engineered a backroom legislative maneuver to protect pharmaceutical companies from lawsuits, say witnesses to the pre-Christmas power play.

The language was tucked into a Defense Department appropriations bill at the last minute without the approval of members of a House-Senate conference committee, say several witnesses, including a top Republican staff member.

Hey Wood. Went and watched your movie last night. Enjoyed it, although they went over the top in a few places I thought, and didn't really offer a convincing (to me anyway) reason how and way such a grand conspiracy would be planned and executed in the first place.

My review: *** 1/2

Interesting and well done. I'm not buying the conclusion that it's about 200 billion in gold and a simple power grab without greater purpose, however.

It hints at Iraq, but doesn't conclude 9/11 was strategic prepositioning for public backing of subsequent attempts to acquire the Iraqi oil reserves. Even it is was, that strategy has failed miserably.

Absent some need to establish the infrastructure and prepositioning to inforce martial law, or an approximation of it (DHS, Federal Police Force), I don't get why any "cabal" of power elite would attempt such a thing.

Now if I thought people at the highest levels of security were advised of impending global disaster over ensuing out years, possibly linked to global warming, then something like that would make sense.

It does raise some interesting questions about the 9/11 story told or untold so far, however. Worth watching.

Damned animal. He's dumber than a gaggle of snails. He won't bark to go outside, and he refuses to go outside sometimes when it's cold.

No it doesn't, at least where the mess is concerned--it's the biggest fucking mess I've ever seen made by one small animal. We'd made really good progress in January, but my fucked up travel sched has put us back to square one.

Besides my frustration, I feel really sorry for the little fella. He was being so good with my folks sitting, but he started acting out a couple days ago. Rescued from the shelter, lost his mommy, and then Daddy abandons him too. Not good. Sam's not happy, either--he pretty much stays outside for days at a time when my parents are here, and comes in when I get home.

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille...

Gravatarattaj -

that article about the tipping point into serious shit kept me up until dawn.

I just kept tossing and turning, thinking of the losses we have suffered, and will sufffer. Humans, yes, but the creatures and plants of the world, so many will disappear, how can I explain this to my Godschildren, the youngest born just 3 months ago?

The I started thinking about how different things would have been if we had re-elected Carter, if Reagan had just been a bad dream, thwat we might, might have been able to slow or mitigate this disaster....

the sun was rising before I nodded off, and I woke just 4 hours later, the first thought in my mind how truly and completely fucked the human race is, and how many of Gaia's creatures we're going to take down with us.

Did Bush Reveal The LA Terror Plot To Cover Up The Escape Of 13 Al Qaeda Convicts...
Time | BRIAN BENNETT, MATTHEW COOPER | Posted February 10, 2006 01:04 PM

READ MORE: George W. Bush
As Navy warships motored into international waters off the coast of Yemen to aid in the search for Al Qaeda escapees, President George W. Bush stood before paintings of Revolutionary War Minutemen Thursday and touted the success of international cooperation in the war on terror. In his speech to the National Guard Association in Washington, Bush revealed new details about a foiled 2002 Al Qaeda plan to use "shoe bombs" to hijack a commercial airplane and fly it into the tallest building on the West Coast — a Los Angeles skyscraper that intelligence analysts later determined was the Library Tower, now named the U.S. Bank Tower. Later in the day, counter-terrorism czar Frances Fragos Townsend told reporters that two South Asian and two Southeast Asian countries had helped arrest all four cell leaders planning the attack, which was designed as a follow up to 9/11 and originally revealed in 2003. Townsend said all four cell leaders are still in custody, although she wouldn’t specify where.

GravatarHell, I have to go clean: love Saturdays but the cleaning sucks.

So, here is my latest attempt to interest people.

Unsubtle bookwhore #2

Let’s see:

I am not sure how many of you know this but the creation of a novel takes about 2000 hours as nearly as I can figure. This time can be compressed or stretched over a long period. (One of my books took two years of time. Another about four months - but I worked on it constantly)

If an Atriot were to create a novel, it would have the following characteristics: I will (subtly) note where CHALLENGE fits this obligation.

» The book would be literate: well-written and respectful of literary traditions.

» The book would have a point of view that is defiantly liberal and intelligent.

» The book would not be confrontational, but thoughtful and enjoyable

» The writing would be concise (We all have jobs and stuff.)

» The story would be something we are interested in: political thought and an intelligent person’s reaction to being manipulated.

» The setting would be pleasant and, for the most part, restful.

» The characters would reflect an Atriot’s world view: intelligence and self-determination would be the hallmarks.

» The bad guys would be not too broadly drawn.

» The good guys would be good people, but within the spectrum of reality.

» The story would transport us seamlessly into an enjoyable world. A place where we wish we could be sometime.

» The characters would be empowered by their intelligence and beliefs.

This is the book YOU would write, if you had a couple of thousand hours to spare, trust me.

GravatarGood morning, all. The SPLC has written an amazing piece on anti-gay crusader Paul Cameron, which includes this great quote from Cameron:

"Marital sex tends toward the boring end. Generally, it doesn't deliver the kind of sheer sexual pleasure that homosexual sex does. If you isolate sexuality as something solely for one's own personal amusement, if all you want is the most satisfying orgasm you can get, then homosexuality seems too powerful to resist. The evidence is that men do a better job on men."

Gravatar"for a newborn infant, do you use cloth or disposable diapers? and why?"
--Mrs. Ibrahim al-jaafari


I used cloth diapers for my three children.

There are so many reasons to use cloth,

--Many folks using paper don't even try to clean poop out of the diaper. therefore it goes in the landfill and breeds disease

--while the savings (because of washing and drying) might be disputable, 24 cloth diapers can last for two years, while the paper diaper needs replacing every change.

--I've read that using paper diapers leads to changing less frequently, more diaper rash

on, and on, and on.

I am (was) a firm believer in cloth diapers.

GravatarWhat's interesting about the Cameron thing to me is that I posted a while back on some wingnut who was claiming that there was some sort of equivalence between gay sex and cigarette smoking...I thought it was an isolate example of disordered thinking, but it turns out it comes from one of Cameron's studies and has gotten a lot of circulation, with some fundies screaming that gays, like cigarette packages, should have warning labels.

Sallyh, Madame Poissonniere


I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but do people know the "tearoom" study from, IIRC, the late sixties. The researcher hung around in Boston's public restrooms taking notes on anonymous sex acts between men (by pretending to be a voyeur who'd watch out fot the cops). He took down the licence plates of participants, and, a year or two later, interviewed them for an ostensibly unrelated study. A lot of them, needless to say, had wives and kids. What was interesting was that in response to questions about the Vietnam War, there was a strong correlation between how closeted the subject was, and how much he supported the war.

Some flaws with the study, no doubt - ethical ones, in particular - but still pretty fascinating.


Gravatar I just had a delicious bacon breakfast... with my secret ingredient!

Bacon wrapped bacon, with bacon garnish, and whiskey smoked bacon on the side?


GravatarNYMary - I totally understand. It's one of the reasons I am not awfully thrilled about traveling by air. Especially to the East Coast in the summer, because at that point in time, there is a 3 hour difference in times.

The other two reasons I don't like traveling by air are (1) crammed into a seat for hours and (2) the whole security experience, including having my luggage searched. Every single time I get on a plane. Sheesh, I put all the dangerous stuff (sewing needles, scissors, so on in the suitcases. Jeez.) But, as my father said, "At least you're not on a no-fly list." Thankfully they only live 15 miles away or I'd never see them.

GravatarStupid bitch!


BELLA VISTA, Ark. - A woman in Benton County hung a sign on a neighbor's door warning people that the man who lived there was a sex offender.

But there were two problems: she had the wrong house, and even if she had the right house, police say sex offender notifications can't be used to harass released convicts.

"Don't play here. Child molester lives here," the sign said, according to a police report.

Carolyn Hansen of Bella Vista also posted warnings in a nearby park. Those signs said, "There is a child molester here. Keep children out of the park."

Hansen told sheriff's investigators she'd been told by her daughter that a sex offender who moved to the neighborhood lived in the house.

The signs were collected, but a deputy saw Hansen posting the fliers again and stopped her.

After Hansen learned the address she had was the wrong one, she apologized to the man she targeted, deputies said. The man didn't want her prosecuted so she was not charged, Benton County sheriff's investigator Barb Shrum said.

The names, addresses and photographs of all level 3 and 4 sex offenders are available on the Arkansas Crime Information Center Web site. A sex offender listed on the registry had moved near the park.

The center's Web site notes that the information is provided to the public as a service, but "anyone who uses this information to commit a criminal act against another person is subject to criminal prosecution."

"The whole point of this is to be able to keep your family and your neighborhood safe from these people, but you can't harass them," Shrum said.


GravatarPhila--I too had mixed emotions. I ultimately felt that the methodology was too intrusive and violated professional standards.

Well, to say that, you'd have to assume that different social classes produced gays at a different rate, which I doubt is true. Different social classes, however, would have different rates of acceptance of gays, and some will naturally allow them to become progressive, cultured and fashionable.

He's in his mid-70's, so I can't imagine what it must have been like for him growing up. He was caught once en flagrante with a young man in a car.

GravatarI saw a study that showed that lesbians can embiggen themselves to fifty-eight times their normal size, at which point they go on rampages through downtown Tokyo.

GravatarMy impression is that gays run the whole socio-economic gamut, just like everyone else.

The amount of pocket change in the husband's pants has a direct effect on the sexual orientation of the offspring. Spermatogenesis int the vicinity of jingling coins produces healthy hetereosexuals.

GravatarThat study was not methodologically sound. The observer was under the influence of her own embiggening, which introduced into the results a desire for rampaging through downtown San Francisco.

Still, the Dobsons agree that the principle is sound.
