if you look carefully at those cartoons, you might find that they look much like the caricatures of jews that aired in die sturmer in the 1930's.

Unrepentant Bode: 'Man, I Rocked Here'
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/
20060...r_interview_tr1
SESTRIERE, Italy - Unbent, unbowed and ultimately unsuccessful, Bode Miller said in an interview Saturday he is skiing away from these Olympics on his own terms — content without any medals and impressed by the local nightlife.
"I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here," Miller said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press soon after he skidded off the slalom course in his fifth and final race, completing an 0-for-the-Olympics

If the homeless people were just disposed of in a way involving ovens, with heat and/or power generated for the city, would New Yorkers really care? They didn't ask too many questions about the Guiliani cleanings. In Detroit the homeless were literally given shelter for the weekend of the Superbowl, and as soon as it was over of course it was back out on the street. Isn't the reason young hoodlums, er, wait, we mean to impugn wite people who don't necessarily vote Democratic, hooligans set bums on fire is because they can pretty much get away with it?

I said that earlier today about the obnoxious little shit.
Here in L.A. we are beginning to see the funds coming in from Prop. 63 (for mental health issues). Many of the homeless have mental health problems and the intention is to provide them with a systemic way to move back into the mainstream -- via a Wellness Model that includes providing shelters for homeless and encouragement to deal with drug habits and get stabilized on medication.

It's just that I've had some considerable surgery and the sledgehammer medication has unlocked the beast within and I'm looking to getting a little payback on some unsuspecting freeper trolls. I'd just go to the evil well itself, but alas, I've been unfairly banned for being human. Just wondering if the clown car stops here anymore.

It's fabulous.
Regarding the bombing of the mosque at Askariya Shrine. NY Times 2/23/06:
"The attack in Samarra began at 7 a.m., when a dozen men dressed in paramilitary uniforms entered the shrine and handcuffed four guards who were sleeping in a back room, a spokesman for the provincial governor's office said. The attackers then placed a bomb in the dome and detonated it, collapsing most of the structure and heavily damaging an adjoining wall. The shrine is one of four major Shiite shrines in Iraq, and the site has special meaning because 2 of the 12 imams revered by mainstream Shiites are buried there: Ali al-Hadi, who died in A.D. 868 and his son, the 11th imam, Hassan al-Askari."
In the attack on the 23rd, there were no casualties. No one has been caught. There is no reported damage to the graves of the imams. The golden dome of the mosque was completed in 1905, meaning it was about was about 100 years old. The actual shrine is far older.
Now look at the story in today's Times headlined "Younger Clerics Showing Power In Iraq's Unrest". The radicals have gained power since the bombing.
What motive would Sunnis or even Al-Qaeda, have in destroying the dome? What power would they gain?
Radical Shiites blew up the dome of their own mosque. It's their Reichstag. Why is no one saying this?
I'd go with that. A multitude of cliches, with laughs.
Genius zombie rats and pizza delivery zombies are cliches?
And this comes from an Indigo Girls and Elvis Costello fan. Not to mention the many other folk and alternative artists I love.

White House Had Prior Knowledge Of Cheney Threat
http://www.theonion.com/content/...de/45572/print/
WASHINGTON, DC—Government documents declassified today reveal that President Bush was briefed last summer of "a substantial risk" that Vice President Dick Cheney would shoot an elderly male in the face sometime in the next several months.
Reports indicate that the White House had this photo of Cheney hunting senior citizens as early as 2001.
In a Presidential Daily Briefing given to Bush in August 2005, the CIA warned that the vice president was a potent threat to the senior population at large, and in particular "possessed the capabilities and intentions to spray a senior citizen with projectiles fired from a shotgun or other weapon." A second brief identified the population at risk as those "between 70 and 80 years of age," and warned that the vice president posed the greatest threat to "seniors in close proximity to the vice president when he is armed."
The brief, which urged the White House to take "the most thorough possible precautions to disable this threat to the faces, necks, and chests of the nation's elderly," was issued a full six months before the events of Feb. 11.

It's ugly and it's almost enough to make you get over that damned European obsession with livery colors (stripes representing the colors of the state coat of arms) and dig the Serbian's upside-down Russian flag or their silly xenophobic cross symbol.

I think I would take the Croat flag over the really, really nationalistic Serbian flag, the one with the cross and the 4 Cyrillic c's, translating into 'Only Unity Saves the Serbs'.
Of course, I'd rather both flags fade into oblivion. Perhaps sometime in the future.

LOS ANGELES - Don Knotts, who kept generations of TV audiences laughing as bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show" and would-be swinger landlord Ralph Furley on "Three's Company," has died. He was 81.
Knotts died Friday night of pulmonary and respiratory complications at a Los Angeles hospital, said Paul Ward, a spokesman for the cable network TV Land, which airs his two signature shows.
Griffith, who remained close friends with Knotts, said he had a brilliant comedic mind and wrote some of the show's best scenes.
"Don was a small man ... but everything else about him was large: his mind, his expressions," Griffith told The Associated Press on Saturday. "Don was special. There's nobody like him.
"I loved him very much," Griffith added. "We had a long and wonderful life together."
Unspecified health problems had forced Knotts to cancel an appearance in his native Morgantown in August.
The West Virginia-born actor's half-century career included seven TV series and more than 25 films, but it was the Griffith show that brought him TV immortality and five Emmys.
The show ran from 1960-68, and was in the top 10 of the Nielsen ratings each season, including a No. 1 ranking its final year. It is one of only three series in TV history to bow out at the top: The others are "I Love Lucy" and "Seinfeld." The 249 episodes have appeared frequently in reruns and have spawned a large, active network of fan clubs.
As the bug-eyed deputy to Griffith, Knotts carried in his shirt pocket the one bullet he was allowed after shooting himself in the foot. The constant fumbling, a recurring sight gag, was typical of his self-deprecating humor.
Knotts, whose shy, soft-spoken manner was unlike his high-strung characters, once said he was most proud of the Fife character and doesn't mind being remembered that way.
His favorite episodes, he said, were "The Pickle Story," where Aunt Bea makes pickles no one can eat, and "Barney and the Choir," where no one can stop him from singing.
"I can't sing. It makes me sad that I can't sing or dance well enough to be in a musical, but I'm just not talented in that way," he lamented. "It's one of my weaknesses."
Knotts appeared on several other television shows. In 1979, he replaced Norman Fell on "Three's Company," also starring John Ritter, Suzanne Somers and Joyce DeWitt.
Early in his TV career, he was one of the original cast members of "The Steve Allen Show," the comedy-variety show that ran from 1956-61. He was one of a group of memorable comics backing Allen that included Louis Nye, Tom Poston and Bill "Jose Jimenez" Dana.
Knotts' G-rated films were family fun, not box-office blockbusters. In most, he ends up the hero and gets the girl _ a girl who can see through his nervousness to the heart of gold.
In the part-animated 1964 film "The Incredible Mr. Limpet," Knotts played a meek clerk who turns into a fish after he is rejected by the Navy.
You guys must really not like The Statler Brothers, I'm guessing.
Vicki
Didn't one of the guys from ZZ Top join the Statler Bros?
Eli
The original "The Hills Have Eyes"
I was looking through some scifi con photos and he was featured. And basically thought he was in character or such. Seems he isn't. Look him up on the IMDB. Pretty interesting storyline on him.
What is this?
It's called really bad set design.
"it's hotter than I'd like, but it's not unreasonable."
Don't jump Jenny
Radical Shiites blew up the dome of their own mosque. It's their Reichstag. Why is no one saying this?
It's completely unimaginable, even after British soldiers were captured disguised as Arabs in a typical Iraqi Toyota with a trunk full of explosives, to say that this could've been a coalition thing; hell, it could even have been a private contractor trying to stave off the looming end of the free for all they enjoy so much. But it's unquestionable that Shiia would blow up their own Amritsar. This is racist thinking. The most natural answer is that they did it to themselves, like the Guantanamo detainees who were all lying to make us look bad.
It is also possible that this is Iran at work, firing back at American threats over their nuclear program, or a Sunni revenge attack. But why on Earth is it so easy to blame the victims here? Doesn't this sound like when experts were able to spin webs of reasonability about the evil Captain Yee?
Back to The Statler Brothers; (indulge me), I'm having childhood memories.
When it was announced in 1998 that Jim Carrey would star in a "Limpet" remake, Knotts responded: "I'm just flattered that someone of Carrey's caliber is remaking something I did. Now, if someone else did Barney Fife, THAT would be different."
In the 1967 film "The Reluctant Astronaut," co-starring Leslie Nielsen, Knotts' father enrolls his wimpy son _ operator of a Kiddieland rocket ride _ in NASA's space program. Knotts poses as a famous astronaut to the joy of his parents and hometown but is eventually exposed for what he really is, a janitor so terrified of heights he refuses to ride an airplane.
In the 1969 film "The Love God?," he was a geeky bird-watcher who is duped into becoming publisher of a naughty men's magazine and then becomes a national sex symbol. Eventually, he comes to his senses, leaves the big city and marries the sweet girl next door.
He was among an army of comedians from Buster Keaton to Jonathan Winters to liven up the 1963 megacomedy "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Other films include "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" (1966); "The Shakiest Gun in the West" (196
; and a few Disney films such as "The Apple Dumpling Gang" (1974); "Gus" (1976); and "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo" (1977).
In 1998, he had a key role in the back-to-the-past movie "Pleasantville," playing a folksy television repairman whose supercharged remote control sends a teen boy and his sister into a TV sitcom past.
Knotts began his show biz career even before he graduated from high school, performing as a ventriloquist at local clubs and churches. He majored in speech at West Virginia University, then took off for the big city.
"I went to New York cold. On a $100 bill. Bummed a ride," he recalled in a visit to his hometown of Morgantown, where city officials renamed a street for him in 1998.
Within six months, Knotts had taken a job on a radio Western called "Bobby Benson and the B-Bar-B Riders," playing a wisecracking, know-it-all handyman. He stayed with it for five years, then came his series TV debut on "The Steve Allen Show."
He married Kay Metz in 1948, the year he graduated from college. The couple had two children before divorcing in 1969. Knotts later married, then divorced Lara Lee Szuchna.
In recent years, he said he had no plans to retire, traveling with theater productions and appearing in print and TV ads for Kodiak pressure treated wood.
The world laughed at Knotts, but it also laughed with him.
He treasured his comedic roles and could point to only one role that wasn't funny, a brief stint on the daytime drama "Search for Tomorrow."
"That's the only serious thing I've done. I don't miss that," Knotts said.

Oh yeah; both the nations of the Balkans and the Levantine coast should be subsumed into larger republics without ethnic or religious identity. That's the right answer, but there is no way to it, so the next-best answer is things like two-state and letting some peoples have their own country. (It is wierd how different the responses were to nationalist/Islamic terrorism in the Levant and the Balkans, especially since the Albanians were al-Qayda-tied heroin dealers.)

SANTA FE, N.M. - Jessica Simpson took a break from filming her latest movie to dine with Gov. Bill Richardson, his wife and others at the governor's mansion.
Simpson, who is in Santa Fe filming "Employee of the Month," ate with the governor Thursday night. The film is the fifth shot in New Mexico by Lions Gate Entertainment, an independent production and distribution studio.
"The governor feels very strongly about getting involved personally to promote New Mexico's film industry," Richardson spokesman Pahl Shipley said.
Richardson has rolled out the red carpet for other celebrities. Most recently, he dined at the mansion with Irish actor Liam Neeson.
Simpson was joined at the mansion by her parents, Lions Gate executives and members of the governor's staff. The dinner lasted about two hours and included a menu of chicken roulade, potatoes and green chili-stuffed tomato.

Yeah, but to change the pH, something has to be dissolved into the water first. Acid rain is caused by an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere, which turns into carbonic acid in water.

Can anyone recall the name of the lady NY dance critic who died young around 1993?
She was a total highbrow, but she saw talent when she saw it and wrote fine appreciations of performers like Madonna, Jim Carrey and Roseanne Barr. She apprecited movement and gesture, as one might expect, and never had any qualms about pop culture.
Anyone remember her name, as I'd like to read more of her essays, as published in the NY Observor among other freelance work?

Well, the idea behind Yugoslavia was that the south Slavs should be in a single country (at one point early in the beginning of pan-Slavism it was supposed to include parts of Bulgaria, IIRC), but the nationalism there is so recent and distorted, it may be awhile before they focus on all they have in common, and see it as source of strength, instead of something to commit genocide over.

Clearly it needed more Zorg. And the Christian morality-allegory thing was a little ham-handed. And there was a lot of stupidity throughout the flavor of which was captured by the art direction. Of course we do have a friend who adores it.
Hi all. Long weekend, an uncle passed but the chruch of which he's member was so good for everything that it was more a celebration of life ceremony than it was one of loss.
Was able to let our next generation see a color guard(he was a Korea veteran).
In the emantime my union friend was on CNN picketing ports as a member of the AFL-CIO with his fellow ppers. They picketed every place Dubai runs a port operation, thanks for the link to whoever did post that. Sent it to him and they were on it the very next day.
Hope to hear from him this weekend now.
Between hearing services and the spiritual things we discussed this week was the words of Rev. lowry, first on PBS(stellar speech) and he used part of the speech again on Tavis Smiley's CSpan presentation today.
Calls for Americans to reclaim their spirituality and focus it towards a new cause as we saw during the civil rights era. Stop excluding people from the community of faith for belief and lifestyles, end immoral wars.
His best point:
Mentioned a "redneck" who talked to his daughter during a recent protest at the entrance to a convention hall.
He said for the man to direct the words his way out of concern for his daughter( who was grown).
He said he let it be known that he would "kick ass" if the man ever tried to address her like that again in his presence.
"How much more so could God be angry when we direct words toward one of his children?"
"They're ALL his children... in Memphis and in Mesopotamia..."
That statement, that a good man would be ready to lower self to meet such a challenge on the terms it tried to insitgate, and that a Righteous and Just Being would be even more so moved to place such harsh judgements, was the perfect allegory for what remains ahead.
It was the kind of thing you hear best when listening and looking for such answers, like the words of Providence in his call for Justice and Tolerance.
Thanks Rev. Lowery for your work as a person in the body of faith. Democracy is like this in that it is the understanding of a common good and greater purpose than your own interests that you become part of a larger body of belief. The greatest of which is Love. He emphasized Christ's words and example of tolerance.
In talks this week, how Thomas extended his faith to his family, and to his fellowhsip bretheren, and how in each instance he expanded the scope of blessing each was endowed, is a metaphor for the greater world community and all of mankind.
If Prior is around perhaps we'll speak more of these topics. Anyways it's great to be back in the community all.

Kei and yuri--I should look this up, but I don't think Greece took over Bulgaria from Turkey during WW I. Am I wrong?
I don't think Greece ever ruled Bulgaria in any recent era.
The Greeks made a disastrous choice for war with Turkey after WW I, and wound up losing their Ionian settlements.
Was Bulgaria even relevant at the time?
Draco | 02.25.06 - 10:21 pm | #
Not an expert on Bulgaria, but IIRC Bulgaria was much larger at the time, but kept choosing the ulitimate losers in wars, and so kept losing land:
In 1912 and 1913 Bulgaria became involved in the Balkan Wars, entering into conflict first against the Ottoman Empire and then against its former Balkan allies in desperate effort to achieve its national unity. After being defeated in the Second Balkan War, Bulgaria lost most of the territory conquered in the first war, as well as Southern Dobruja. During World War I, Bulgaria found itself fighting on the losing side after its alliance with the Central Powers. The defeat led to new territorial losses (the Western Outlands to Serbia, Western Thrace to Greece and again the re-conquered Southern Dobruja to Romania...

The needle goes through and you put pressure on the other side of the cork. I've been using mine for over 20 years and I've never gotten one piece of cork in the wine. The older the wine, the more chance that the cork has lost its moisture due to inconsistencies in its storage (humidity, temperature, light, etc.), hence the crumbling.

Plus, being small, I can carry it with me, when ever I want, ready to open a bottle.

[T]he American presence in Iraq will... lessen considerably in 2006... reaching Korea-like levels and responsibilities in 2007...

"This figure is over 3.5 times the size of the Earth's population at the beginning of the 20th century and roughly double its size in 1960," the report noted. Perhaps more amazing was the short time required to increase the planet's population from 5 to 6 billion -- just 12 years. Read more at LiveScience.com.
Perhaps a sniper's rifle? RPG? Magma launcher?

Well, he would have a moment serious confusion, before he died.

Didn't the Captain Sensible dude have a video in the early days of MTV where he hopped around on a pogo-stick?
BTW Vitalis had much greater bouquet and perspacacity than 'Lectric Shave.
"If Israel declares that it will give the Palestinian people a state and give them back all their rights, then we are ready to recognise them," he told the Washington Post.
Those bastard terrorists. They knew the condition Israel set was that it had to be recognized without conditions.
Okay, how about a two-fer?
Kitten Orgy!!!!
Take that.

I'm still excited about magma.
A special pwned picture for atriots
Take that.
I have not yet begun to fight!
Buckeye--Was that guy actually honking his carhorn, or did he have it activated by some car alarm device?
Those car alarms are the menace of condos in particular, suburbia in general
Many a morning did they ruin it
whiskeyina, pablum hoodlum ...cool video. Are you a messenger?
While you folks were watching magma, I watched this movie
Aside from the musical selections, it looks just like me riding through the city

at a very special time when it feels the internal pressures moving it in a new way.

Oh no, it's an actual moron honking an actual horn. Folks in here in the East part of Dayton aren't really into getting out of their cars and actually going up to the door and knocking. Or if they do get out of their cars, they leave the car stereo blasting. So I get bass, alas not sea bass.
I keep telling myself 'one year, and I'll probably be out of here.'
Must call in reinforcements.
Yes... reinforcements...
Forget kittens in baskets...
We have kittens in pots.

Just a messenger wannabe--I don't know if you've ever ridden in the city, but that's what happens: you get picked up in it and you race between buses and limos, taxis and peds. It's quite a thrill, and this video captures it.

See, I figured the one possible upside of cellphones would be that people would no longer have to honk their car horns to announce themselves.
And I'll bet good money that 99% of those honking wankers *have* cellphones.
Agent Orange, you still get the review?
Haven't gotten one in over a yr.
Damn, it's down to 66.2F in the condo... it was almost 70F today.

We've had basically a balmy Jan and Feb here.

This civil war brewing in Iraq, which many of its politicians blissfully don't even recognize ("Bush called and told us to cut the shit, and, praise be Allah! We are now far from Civil War!"), will have the same effect on the people as our own civil war, only a hundred-fold. It was obvious for years that Iraq was breaking up into sectarian violence that our troops were unable to quell and that they were inching closer and closer to civil war (Yeah, George, good job on the democracy thingie there. It's really taking root, I see).
Only, I thought it would be the conviction and likely execution of Saddam Hussein that would touch it off for good. I never stopped to consider that Iraq is a powder keg that could go up at any moment over, say, a Shia shrine getting bombed.
Problem is, the Bushies have yet to awaken from that Wolofwitz fantasy that Iraq is a secular nation since they used to have a secular Ba'athist government. Only when they realize that Iraq is a religious Muslim nation will they then realize what a hopeless quagmire Iraq has really turned into this past week. This is three years of Muslim rage finally reaching the boiling point and exploding.
I'd like to say how glad it is to see how funny and sane and concerned you all are. And the kitty photos, too!
I've lately been making a pain of myself, talking of depression and soforth, but it's nice to see regular Atriots sound of mind and spirit.
Mister X i don't know who Captain Senisible is.
but what a great page. i thought about looking up Goebbels, but decided on Rove who is desribed thusly

Jusassicpork--You posted the most depressing deal I'd sought to avoid. I've been obsessed about even more war than I'd been lead to believe in my life. The US has had a permanent war economy since Pearl Harbor.
Not your fault, providing info, but what sadness a post causes,
well that was is a good post pork, draco
