Presidents Calling for Nuclear Power Development
Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
"Nuclear energy is our right, and we will resist until this right is fully realized," Ahmadinejad told the crowd in the southern Iran city of Bushehr, the site of Iran's only nuclear power plant."
George W. Bush
"There is a growing consensus that more nuclear power will lead to a cleaner, safer nation," Bush said. "It is time for this country to start building nuclear power plants again."
Eli,
It's remarkable that this guy thought it was a reasonable request.
Did I miss where Lois Murphy says proudly on her web page that she is *gasp* a democrat? Must have overlooked it.

Exactly. I kept thinking how cold the poor woman would have been, not allowed to wear panties or tights most of the time. And twenty minutes after the dishes and the kids being put to bed she was supposed to be naked (and spread-eagled?) whether he was at home or not.
It's remarkable that this guy thought it was a reasonable request.
And that ANY WOMAN would marry someone who thought it was a reasonable request.

NYTIMES 0n Drug Plan Puts Senior Vote in Play:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 — Older voters, a critical component of Republican Congressional victories for more than a decade, could end up being a major vulnerability for the party in this year's midterm elections, according to strategists in both parties. Paradoxically, one reason is the new Medicare drug benefit, which was intended to cement their loyalty.
During next week's Congressional recess, Democrats are set to begin a major new campaign to highlight what Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic leader, describes as "this disastrous Republican Medicare prescription drug plan." Democratic incumbents and challengers plan nearly 100 public forums around the country, armed with briefing books and talking points on a law that, party leaders assert, "was written by and for big drug companies and H.M.O.'s, not American families."
Recognizing the widespread criticism of the new drug program, Republican senators met in a closed session with administration officials this week to discuss the rocky rollout of the plan and prepare for questions back home.
But pollsters say the Republicans' difficulties with the over-60 vote go beyond the complicated drug benefit, which began Jan. 1. President Bush's failed effort to create private accounts in Social Security last year was also unpopular with many older Americans. That, in addition to confusion over the drug benefit, has "taken the key swing vote that's been trending the Republicans' way and put it at risk for the next election," said Glen Bolger, a Republican pollster. "And what that means is Republicans are going to have to work extra hard."
Mr. Bolger added: "It's no secret what the Democrats are going to do. It's what they always do — scare seniors."
as opposed to what Goopers do, which is scare everyone!

WT,
Are you talking about that guy in Iowa?
My fucking jaw dropped when I read that "contract".
Well, the house doesn't clean itself, and I've already been through 2 Beatles CDs (White Album and Abbey Road) and an Indigo Girls CD (Rarities), so I better go select some new tunes and get back to it.

I've got my guitar at the computer desk (well, the "flarke" from IKEA).
I'm taking requests...
My fucking jaw dropped when I read that "contract".
The other question that comes to mind is, just how long was he working on this? It seems like an awful lot of thought went into it, and I can't help but think he must have started designing his "ideal marriage" back in adolescence.
There isn't a guy on the planet who could get me to sign a contract like that. Or don't care if he's Richard fucking Gere or Heath Ledger or Elvis Costello or Spork_Incident. 
It's about the control.

I tried to shave something that would look like Gonzo's head, but it didn't turn out so good.

What an idiot.
Sounds like he deserves a 2 x 4 upside his fat head.
And that he should go to prison where he can learn the true meaning of "submissiveness" and see how it feels.

harry when he apologized to Cheney must have earned some GBDs to go with the ones he got for taking the load in the head.

Was this contract given to the wife before or after they got married?
HBK,
Apparently, before, although she didn't sign it. She did marry the sick, controlling fuck though.
I just zoomed the image of the contract. There are no decimals in the 20"x10" patch request.

wt-fyi. You may be worth more than you think.
(Reuters)
Researchers at the University of Queensland said on Friday they had successfully trailed a tiger poo repellant, warding off wild goats for at least three days.
"Goats wouldn't have seen a tiger from an evolutionary point of view for at least 15 generations but they recognize the smell of the predator," repellent creator Peter Murray said in a statement.
"If we can show this lasts weeks ... we've just tapped into probably a billion-dollar market. It's enormous," he said.
It's about zombies.

It's not so, that proclaiming yourself a liberal is a bad thing to do. I recently was at a party in Spokane WA. Now Spokane, has been a hotbed of wingnuttery in times past. I was just quietly sipping my drink and listening to the chatter around me. Some of these people I would have had to walk away from, or I'd start arguing with them in about 30 seconds in the past. It seem that the politics in Eastern Washington are drifting away from neocon beliefs. From what I heard, they feel like they've been lied to.
I can't tell you which way they will go, but there is a strong wind of change blowing.

No. I dreamed I was at a house party at a town somewhere out in the Texas Hill country, and zombies came in and started biting everyone, turning them into zombies.

That's very encouraging to hear about eastern Washington. What I meant, though, was that if Lois Murphy called herself a liberal, that it would be the bigwigs in the Democratic Party who would try to shut her down, not the voters. I think a lot of voters are ready to hear proud liberals like Paul Hackett come out and say "I'm a liberal, I stand for liberal values, fuck you if you don't like it" rather than all this pusillanimous, triangulating, "I'm conservative, but somewhat less conservative than my opponent" bullshit.

In the summer of 2004, a few months before the presidential election, I was taking a course with a guy who was an Army officer and a Republican. He was railing on about "liberals" and how bad Kerry was. It was liberal this and liberal that. I spoke up from the back of the van we were riding in, "Hey, I'm a liberal, and I'm proud of it." He was completely shocked. To look at the reaction on his face, you would have thought I had just openly and proudly admitted to being a child molester. In the world in which he lives and moves, clearly liberalism and child-molestation are pretty much morally equivalent. Either that, or he was just used to liberals sitting there, quietly sipping their drinks and keeping their mouths shut whenever the liberal-bashing started up.
Don't hate me.

Hunh? Why would I hate you?
Littlest DWD managed to score a place at both Michigan State University and my alma mater, Hope College.
And then today he managed to qualify for the Michigan Competitive Scholarship.
We shall see. It is needs based and apparently they think teachers are rich.

GWPDA, yclept Irate Scholar
Cause I went about it willy-nilly. I just bought the purdiest thing that I saw on the internet (I wanted to buy something while I still had the money). And you gave me scholarly advice about shopping for it.
This is what I bought her, BTW.
Jesus, when it rains it pours.
Beutler being a wanker, per Atrios
Stoller blasting Beutler, then me telling Stoller stuff, then Stoller insulting me, then me explaining myself, then Stoller insulting me...
Bob Fertik calling Stoller a wanker.
Sometimes I wonder why we Democrats are out of power. Other times I don't. Yeeeesh.

Zap, that is lovely.

I'm still a month and 7 days past major surgery. It's the wrong time for me to pick a fight. However, I'm starting to use the resources of some physical therapists who meet me at a local gym. My bench press is now up to 75 lbs (doesn't sound like much till you understand I was limited to about 15 lbs a couple of weeks ago)
Give me about 3 more months of recovery, and I'll happily get in any conservatives faces.
how come the contract isnt written in crayon?
Now we know who uses those really bad fonts that come come with Wordperfect and Word.
That contract was quite weird but I thought it was funny that the wife had to do all the lubing.
There might be one sex toy that she might want to buy and use unlubed.
Zap, it's perfect, honestly. Make sure when you get it that you take it, and Zapette (in whatever order you prefer) to a good jeweller to make sure the setting is 'rock solid' and that the prongs are not going to give way. And to have it sized.
But it's lovely and if I were Zapette (seeing as that's my worthwhile birthstone-bloodstone not so pretty), I couldn't possibly think of anything more endearing, more trothful or more loving.
T2,
I really think that you're being hyper active about this whole thing.
There was never a reference to your blog; never an attack on you, etc.
Cool your heels, man; and focus on the big prize.
I found the vacuum cleaner. Now we are going to stare at each other for a while , to see if I remember how to turn it on.
Ouch. This is going to be horrible.

Maybe if you got it some therapy it would turn itself on?

That is wonderful, DWD - I'm sure you're very proud and you have every reason to be.
Bonjour mes amis,
comment t'allez vous?
desoles, mais je suis "listening" a musique francais.
quelle dommage!
(j'aime l'Alizee!)
The link to frist-draft at that blogasm interview goes to "first draft by tim porter." Has f-d moved?
in ways no sane man would ever do - and then are offended if they set off alarm bells . . .
You are expected to be appreciative in some fashion that does not involve raw conduct. Delicacy, smooth, moderation and coolth are looked for. Adolescent and uncoolth exuberance is not. One is not dog at Westminster - one is attempting to be a lady of some style and class. It isn't always managed, but what is most appreciated is the belief in the success of the effort.
No woman tries to present herself as a whoor. If she ends up in that presentation it's only because of lack of education, not intent.
T2, don't stress about it. It'll blow over and we're all on the same side anyway.
GWPDA,
I bought a sizing package with it. It's gonna be a little big, but we can have it sent back to be the correct size.
We got her sized on Wednesday, and it looks like she's an 8 1/2. I bought a 9. No biggie. She's happy, either way.
Meanwhile, we're waiting for my ring to get back from the shop that sold it to Zapette...
No woman tries to present herself as a whoor.
unless, of course, she is "une femme de la nuit"...
This is what I bought her, BTW.
That's really pretty.
I'm sure she'll love it.

I'M NOT!!
I AM MY OWN SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am MANIMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I'm going to go eat some shrimps now.

Evening, all.
How is America doing tonight?
Well, I turned on the TV and women's curling was just getting underway.
So far, the commentators have not made the tiniest effort to explain what the fuck is going on.
How is America doing tonight?
well, i imagine it's still in ruins, but I know I have been pussified. it's 40 degrees outside and I'm freezing.
My god, I used to walk around in -15F when i lived in Indiana.
So far, the commentators have not made the tiniest effort to explain what the fuck is going on.
maybe that's a good thing.
maybe that's a good thing.
Maybe. But it does seem a little odd that they would assume that American audiences already know what the rules are...
GWPDA, as I stated: I do not do such things. (But it still is a conundrum, you know?)
So far, the commentators have not made the tiniest effort to explain what the fuck is going on.
I love to watch it on Canadian teevee, because the commentators make it sound so much more exciting...
THAN IT IS!!!!
Oh, wait, they just gave some highlights of the rules.
Didn't help much.
I'm sure she'll love it.
fourlegsgood
I leaked it to her...and she does like it.
We'll probably be getting it in the next week, or so.
She's gonna be wearing green at the wedding. She's gonna look soooo purdy!
Maybe. But it does seem a little odd that they would assume that American audiences already know what the rules are...
ah, true. i guess they could at least say "it's like shuffleboard but with bigger shuffles and BROOMS!!"
Some of the American curlers are actually pretty damn cute...
So far, the commentators have not made the tiniest effort to explain what the fuck is going on.
NBC is a fever swamp.
ooh! Scooter's comin' atcha like cleopatra!

It makes more sense if you've been drinking scotch whiskey all day.

Did I miss anything?
Did I miss anything?
I don't know. Did anyone find that fucking dog?
It's so weird to hear the Gang of Four re-record their old stuff.
But cool, too.
Did I miss anything?
I think there might have been some speculation on witch-tit temperatures earlier today, but it might have just been me...
(try, try again...) Dunno if this has been referenced already; apologies if it's deja vu all over again: Actor Richard Dreyfuss calls for Bush's impeachment.
If Bush's numbers drop below the 20's, ain't just gonna be us and Hollywood actors calling for impeachment...
you know, that ad on the right, about the Rising Hotel Workers? Makes me think of Eschacon. Hee!

I love seeing love. Makes my heart and mind swell with happiness. I wish you two the best.
Oh yeah, "Nobody stops the spin like Chris Matthews."
Riiiiiiight.
The repugs are very good at naming and defining us. I find their "pro-abortionist" tag particularly offensive.
Funny how it always seems to be the right-wingers who brag about how "fair and balanced" and "no-spin" they are.
I guess it's the same principle as Bush always reminding us what a strong leader he is: If it isn't actually true, you have to repeat it as often as possible so people will *think* it's true.
Oh yeah, "Nobody stops the spin like Chris Matthews."
Riiiiiiight.
oh sure, it's true. because he doesn't challenge the rightie spin; it's presented as gospel.
Ain't choo sweet, Mer?
Since I've got dial up, I must get off.
Love you all!!
,I.She's gonna be wearing green at the wedding
I wore green at my wedding, too. I made the dress. Back in the 1970s, we did things like that.
Remember when I asked you whether the National Journal was legit? I was deciding whether to add Beutler to my updates list, as he requested.
D'oh! I think I had in mind someone else at the time. I didn't recall exactly who he was until NTodd reminded me this morning.
They are legit, but, well... also kind of smug and irritating.
Beutler himself I would have warned you about if I'd recalled properly. As I was saying this morning he once linked to me and revealed in a side comment something about me which I don't really discuss on my site, and which I'd told him in a conversation at EschaCon. My general impression thus is that he's a bit of a weasel, not in a deliberately nasty way, but in a smugly superior "I'm a real journalist" way, where "objectivity" necessarily imples a condescending view of blogs.
Funny how it always seems to be the right-wingers who brag about how "fair and balanced" and "no-spin" they are.
It's like the kid who says, "I didn't do anything," when you walk in the room.
mike inpr,
I am pro abortion. Please don't make me give that rant again.

Do you have horns or something?
zombie owls.
but in a smugly superior "I'm a real journalist" way, where "objectivity" necessarily imples a condescending view of blogs.
There are few journalists these days, as in other eras, that deserve to be called *real*.
hahahahah! When I do oral arguments in a few months, maybe that'll be my closing sentence! hahahahaha!
poppieprong
I dunno about that. Right now, I kind of wish my lawyer's closing statement had included the statement that WE INSIST WE RECEIVE A W-2 BY 31 JANUARY.
{{{Sigh}}}
Do you have horns or something?
No no. That I'm a perfesser. Nobody knows about the horns!
Zap, dear - the sizing is one thing - but in an antique setting the prongs holding the stone will have worn away to some degree. Particularly with 14K gold, which is quite soft. You need to have those made very strong, because otherwise the stone will fall out. Honest. It won't cost much more and Zapette won't have to worry.
I'm pro choice, pro birth control, pro sex education, pro universal health care, pro fewer pregnancies, and would prefer fewer abortions. But I'm a guy so I'll shut up if it makes you feel better, Hecate.
