My sister actually did this, after the 2002 Olympics. She developed this weird obsession with a Bronze medalist from those games. Helped run his fan site, checked out his house, went to events. It was a little unnerving. I think she's slowing backing off that.

Fret not over the temporary absence of Frank Rich, Liberal Elitists. Because we have Miss Sarah Vowell to replace him:
(Part I)
When Bush Falls in Love
By SARAH VOWELL
Published: February 26, 2006
The charges of cronyism against the current administration have piled up higher than the rotting rubble in New Orleans: "Heck of a job, Brownie," is fast replacing "Way to go, Einstein" as the wiseacre-to-dummy put-down du jour. And what of Harriet Miers, the good friend/lame nominee for the Supreme Court the president defended as "plenty bright."
Then there's the 24-year-old political appointee who was rewarded for working on the president's re-election campaign with a job as a press aide at NASA, where he was accused of trying to silence a top climate scientist who is, go figure, concerned about global warming. That, and he demanded that the apparently too science-y NASA Web site insert the word "theory" after every use of "Big Bang."
(To be fair, he resigned after it turned out that he'd lied on his résumé about graduating from college, so he might have dropped out before his class got to the textbook chapter titled "Just Big Bang: That's What Jesus Calls It, Too.")
Plus, in a word, Abramoff.
All of which is appalling. At this point, five years after oil and gas lobbyists started scoring Interior Department appointments overseeing national parks and the Bureau of Land Management, I'm heartened that I can still scrape up a glimmer of dismay. And yet, there is a tiny, honest voice in my head that has never let me condemn the president too loudly for wanting to work only with his allies and friends. Because that's pretty much how I live my life, too.
The other day, I was on a plane where "Good Night, and Good Luck" was the in-flight movie. I'd already seen it, but watching it again afforded me the opportunity to look beyond its grand central theme and curl up with the film's lovely periphery.
Around the edges, a second, softer movie flickers, an unpretentious but sly portrait of what real camaraderie looks and feels like. By opening with a party where Edward R. Murrow and his old staff are gussied up and drinking and giggling and taking pictures with their arms around one another as a saxophone plays "When I Fall in Love," the viewer figures out right away that this is more than Murrow vs. McCarthy circa "High Noon." This guy has backup.
Speaking of kittens in baskets....

When my cat Diana had seven kittens, she kept them in our closet. Diana was physically very tiny and unable to keep all the babies well-fed (she kept trying to lose 3 or 4 of them) so I did supplemental feeding. When it was time for the bottle, it was like a little orange kitty tidal wave spilling out of the closet.
The Divine Sarah Vowell: Part II
My favorite scene starts with George Clooney as the producer Fred Friendly and David Strathairn as Murrow a couple of minutes before Murrow goes on the air with a potentially controversial report about a Red Scare flare-up in Michigan. I don't think I've ever seen a subtler, truer image of partnership. And not just in the way the two men talk to each other, either confessing their fears or joshing around or both.
When Friendly counts down the seconds left until Murrow goes live, Friendly sits just off-camera and taps Murrow's leg with his pen when it's time. The gesture is mundane and loving all at once.
I'm lucky enough to have a Friendly of my own. Is there anything better than figuring out what you're supposed to do with your life and getting paid to do it? Yep, doing it alongside the calm and tweedy person you regard as the brother you never had.
"Good Night, and Good Luck" taps into this understandable yearning for solidarity, for affectionate toil, for a shared mission, that's also behind the allure of the founding fathers, the Boston Red Sox, the Clash. Part of me can't blame the president for his pro-crony tendencies because I also have them to an almost sickening degree.
Then I remember — wait, neither I nor any crony of mine has ever slept through the soggy downfall of an entire city, or failed to track down the genocidal maniac who still has a few American items left to check off on his mass-murder To Do list, or sent our soldiers to wage a berserk war crisscrossing the most dangerous roads in the world in flimsy vehicles with the protective capability of Vespa scooters. (But my comrades and I would like to apologize for that reading we "organized" at a noisy Chinatown restaurant in '98, when the short stories were drowned out by egg roll orders.)
Bonhomie, as our ex-cronies the French call it, should have its limits. Seems as if American voters picked the current president because they thought he'd be a fun hang at a cookout — a jokey neighbor who charred a mean burger and is good at playing Frisbee with his dog. What we should be doing is electing a president with the nitpicky paranoia you'd use to choose a cardiologist — a stunted conversationalist with dark-circled eyes and paper-cut fingertips who will stay up until 3 tearing into medical journals in five languages trying to figure out how to save your life.

He also hired the son of a defense official and got inside information that allowed him to land contracts for MZM.
In addition, Wade funneled $80,000 in contributions to two unnamed members of Congress by illegally reimbursing MZM employees for making the contributions. The lawmakers, officials said, were unaware of the scheme. Federal Elections Commission documents identify two members of Congress who received large-scale contributions from MZM employees as Rep. Virgil H. Goode Jr. (R-Va.) and Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.).
Wonder Katherine Harris has been doing more than hitting the Lancome counter on "gift with purchase day?" Just which "officials" indicated that Harris was not aware of the scheme -- and when she was given all this cash from "employees" of MZM, was she asked to work on anything in return? Or was this just given with her understanding that it came from the goodness of their hearts?

All I remember now, besides the fight, was it was the first time I'd seen an animated character on TV have a severely, shall we say, uplifted towel.
Brock had just come out of the shower when he caught the flying knife in his teeth. It went on from there, and ended when he stood up (she's still wearing a chastity belt, IIRC) with: "I gotta go do something."
And the towel.
And he returned to the bathroom.

If approved by all parties, the new deal would allow Bush to avert a GOP-driven bill to overturn the Dubai deal with enough votes to override Bush's threat of his first veto. Republican sources tell TIME that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee proposed the basic terms of a deal designed to give the White House a graceful way out, while also allaying the concerns of the many lawmakers in both parties who have said the deal could be a threat to our security. UNDER THE FRIST PLAN, THE DEAL COULD STAND A GOOD CHANCE OF ULTIMATELY GOING THROUGH AFTER THE EXTENDED REVIEW. Frist aides apparently proposed the terms to representatives of the company and the White House late Friday. Neither has formally responded but both seemed interested in the idea, according to a Senate Republican aide. "This avoids a direct clash," the aide said. "IT SOLVES EVERYONE'S PROBLEM. The President doesn't have to cancel the deal or veto anything."
WELL, IT SOLVES EVERYONES PROBLEMS IF EVERYONE ONLY INCLUDE THE STUPID FUCKERS SCREWING US ALL.
Clay Palmer, a student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, honked his car horn when he saw a policeman turn on blue flashers to pass through a red traffic light. The officer then turned the flashers off after moving through the intersection.
Palmer said officer Matthew Puglise then stopped his patrol car and issued him a ticket for honking his horn for no reason -- a violation of the city noise ordinance.

Clay Palmer, a student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, honked his car horn when he saw a policeman turn on blue flashers to pass through a red traffic light. The officer then turned the flashers off after moving through the intersection.
Palmer said officer Matthew Puglise then stopped his patrol car and issued him a ticket for honking his horn for no reason -- a violation of the city noise ordinance.

Identity of Official to Be Kept from Libby

Draco, I empathize with your blogging-related exasperation. I have exactly the same frustrations that you've been expressing today.
Unfortunately, this seems to be a matter of the vicissitudes of blogging. One's chances of getting traction, attention, etc. improve as a function of how much time one spends here.
In short, if you hang out in long stretches at a time, you're more likely to get in sync; that happens once in a while. But if you drop in cold, you're more likely to encounter arrythmias such as posting just as a thread dies; feeling "invisible" because no one seems to pick up on your comments; trying to speak to a particular Atriot only to find that the person seems to disappear from the thread, etc.
Atrios posts capriciously, ours not to reason why, and you just have to accept the feast-or-famine result.
These are indeed the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, not excludingt those vision problems, that we face in this vale of tears.
Hang in there, comrade. 
thank you for those lyrics eli.

White House 'Discovers' 250 Emails Related to Plame Leak
By Jason Leopold
t r u t h o u t | Report
Friday 24 February 2006
The White House turned over last week 250 pages of emails from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office. Senior aides had sent the emails in the spring of 2003 related to the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald revealed during a federal court hearing Friday.
The emails are said to be explosive, and may prove that Cheney played an active role in the effort to discredit Plame Wilson’s husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, a vocal critic of the Bush administration’s prewar Iraq intelligence, sources close to the investigation said.
Sources close to the probe said the White House “discovered” the emails two weeks ago and turned them over to Fitzgerald last week. The sources added that the emails could prove that Cheney lied to FBI investigators when he was interviewed about the leak in early 2004. Cheney said that he was unaware of any effort to discredit Wilson or unmask his wife’s undercover status to reporters.

We went to the dog show today -- the big benched dog show in Chicago -- the one where you get to PET THE DOGS.
It's a highlight of my year, every year. This year I petted a keeshond, a Shetland sheepdog, an English cocker spaniel, and a Welsh springer spaniel.
While I was petting the Welsh springer spaniel and talking to his person, a lady with two boys came up to pet the dog, and the dog very slowly and calmly inched away from the kids, who were being perfectly nice. The owner explained that the dog wasn't used to kids (as the dog slowly and calmly inched backward toward his person), and talked a little more about Welsh springer spaniels in general. And after a minute or two the lady and the boys thanked her and the dog and walked on -- and the dog immediately stepped toward me again and said "pet me!"
I love my two kitties but I get a big charge out of the dog show every year.
There is a German restaurant called the Alpine Village Inn, in Torrance California. A group of four neo-Nazis went there to eat, each wearing a lapel pin with a swastika on it. The management asked them to take off the lapel pins. They refused. The management asked them to leave. They refused. The management called the police, who arrested them.

The Justice Department has a message for Congress: clean up your house or else we may have to do it for you. A senior federal law enforcement official told TIME that the paralyzed and often lax House ethics committee has created a vacuum that prosecutors won't hesitate to fill. The House’s internal mechanism for keeping corruption in check is “broken,” says the official.

Parmer and McNeil. There is a new shopping center being built.
While you are there, you have a drive-thru Starbucks, and a bar called Woodrows, which, by virtue of being right outside the city limits, still allows smoking and should draw an interesting crowd.
There are three small "mega-churches" that are within a half-mile of Woodrow's, it would be an interesting excercise to guess how many people go from the church to the bar for drinks.

I pretend we are all double agents so deep undercover that we don't even realize it.
Actually, it occurs to me, it's much like preaching.
Speeches are supposed to be interrupted by applause. Conversation is supposed to be a give and take, or if you suddenly command the attention of the room, people are supposed to respond to what you say.
But preaching (except in an African-American church, which is quite the best and hardest place to preach) is met with dead silence, as it is "supposed" to be. Everyone sits frozen, staring, and trying to be wholly receptive to you.
It is worse than talking to an empty room.
And when it's over, if they don't say anything, you didn't do too badly. If they liked it, they either mean it, or they're being polite.
Either way, they want out when they've done their hour.

You were saying...?
Once you get to know the personalities, you can feel very comfortable. Then they stay at your house all weekend.
Jesus Kills. As the author says in the beginning, “These people live amongst you.” Some choice quotes from this “Steeling the Mind” conference attended by some Orange County wackos:
“You know, there was about 6 million Jews that died in the Holocaust. Right now, the population of Israel is about 5.2 million. You just have to wonder. God is so exact in his numbers. I wonder if He’s just waiting his time before he allows the fulfillment of the gentiles.”
“Every experiment is a poison to life.”
“It’s just a matter of time before the clone people come. Will the Antichrist be a clone? Will they be able to be saved? These are big issues.”
“Al Qaeda has nukes planted in the U.S., according to my intelligence sources.”
“Anything that does not conform with Scripture must be purged away.”
“Maybe the most fatal lie of the devil is that you can get to heaven through good works. Every religion follows Satan’s plans—good works.”
“I do not believe the storm was meant primarily as a judgment upon the city of New Orleans. Rather, I see it as a judgment on our entire nation for our mistreatment of Israel.”
“We are going to reign with Him over all the nations of the world . . . It will be a theocracy with the absolute reign of Christ—with a rod of iron.”
Anyone who deviates from the Bible “will be tried immediately. No appeal. No need for appeal. There will be immediate punishment. Humanism is the religion and philosophy of the devil. God will use the millennial reign to prove that.” (Didn’t Hitler say that the Third Reich would last 1000 years?)
(E)volution is the “dumbest, most dangerous religion in the history of humanity.” (Religion? Gee, I can’t believe it’s not a science!)
“It is fun to make fun of evolution,” Holvind says, grinning. And that’s why he has a standing $250,000 offer for any scientist to trump him in an evolution-versus-creationism debate. “Bring ’em on,” he says. “They’re a lot smarter than me, but I slaughter them because I’m right and they’re wrong.”
“Since the inclusion of evolution in textbooks, there has been a moral collapse in our country.”
“A straight line runs from Darwin to the extermination camps. I don’t think you understand what happened to the Jews until you understand evolution.”
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall vote Republican and join the militia. That’s not what it says? What Bible are you reading?”
Most unintentionally revealing quote of the night:
“Folks, if America needs to be saved, it’s now. There are troubling times coming.”
Again, I repeat as a public service announcement, These people live amongst you.
of what secret society at yale was he a member?
The Daughters of Dionysius.
That's what I was thinking.

BTW, for the hungry, we now have lemon pound cake.

Anyway, people always respond to my posts, probably because of the raw sexual energy that emeanates from even my most casual use of definite articles.
Usually in situations like that, I like to turn off the lights and peak out the window, hoping they won't see me, but hoping I can see what's going on. It's not a usual occurrance.

That's exactly what I did.
Turns out they were blocking both ends of the steep hill I live on- making sure no downhill traffic ran into a slow-moving snowplow.
Either that, or they're hassling the high school kids who like to get drunk and throw things at all the historical monuments. ALthough it's too cold for that...
Sorry.

I am most definitely not responding to this post.
JurassicPork--fucking scary to consider. And I don't live that horribly far from SJC.
Once you get to know the personalities, you can feel very comfortable. Then they stay at your house all weekend.

That's what I'm afraid of.
“We are going to reign with Him over all the nations of the world . . . It will be a theocracy with the absolute reign of Christ—with a rod of iron.”
This again!
Praise Him, and His throbbing metal job!

That particular guy is like that. Miyazaki is the great master, Otomo is visually brilliant but his deepest thought is a Lincoln Park-like wimper of preteen angst, Anno was sort of a visual grunge artist who sought to get away from ruts by perverting and ruining all the conventions, almost like forcing rebirth by destroying it as people knew it, Tsurumaki did the first real brilliant new stuff of the '00s with FLCL without any of the pretense Anno loves, and Rintaro is very like Otomo.

The best thing about Grizzly Man is he's so fucking fey and never stops talking about being a samurai. "Friggin!" "Oh, ma-an!" "Don't you do that!" "I still love you!"

and they mean every freak'n word you posted.
see, i always say good nite, then i don't leave.
BTW, for the hungry, we now have lemon pound cake.
Sallyh, Madame Poissonniere
Scrump! But I've always woundered...why is it called pound cake?
It weighs that much?
That's how they get it into the pan?
Those are the instructions that come with it?
Uncle Smokes - I knew it. I have been a CIA agent all this time!!!
This place smells like leftist ass
That's what I'm afraid of.
Rmj, Wandering Aengus
Uhhh,
What cha doin' next weekend?
"Plot was kinda incoherent, but so what.
Eli "
As compared to a Scifi channel Saturday night special?"
Doozer--the original receipts called for a pound of butter, a pound of flour, a pound of sugar.
This place smells like leftist ass
Tilson
As opposed to right-wing fear?
I'll take leftist ass, with a side of liberal hatred please!
That's what I'm afraid of.
It's all exceedingly Christian. Sickeningly so, acually.

Which still smells better than rightist face.

Possibly worse, actually...

You're not getting Vicki's phone number that easily.
But the visuals were so impressive, I still recommend it.

See?
And if you ended up staying the weekend, I'm not sure I could quit you.
What doesn't taste good with a pound of butter in it...

Suck it in, Chester.

Only the best ingredients for the best pound-cake.

That sounds like three-pound cake to me.
I actually have an unhealthy addiction to pound-cake.
Particularly if it is a lemon-pound cake.

I'd convince you about modernism... Yeats was a damn good poet, you know. See my homepage...

I know.
I grew up with them.
“A straight line runs from Darwin to the extermination camps. I don’t think you understand what happened to the Jews until you understand evolution.”
I know a straighter line.

May have to sue you for whiplash as I did the double take on that.
Really?

We posted better excerpts in smaller portions last night. We are starting to sound like prima donnas.

This is not entirely uncommon for anime - they sometimes have kind of a kitchen-sink approach to, well, everything.

Why are there no uppists or downists?
Where are the frontists, backists, overists, underists, and the slightly slantists?

Thers, the Magical Elf
One of the few books of poetry I've read clean through is his Collected Poems.
I love Yeats.
I'm just more of a Dadaist at heart. Leanin' more toward the Symbolistes lately.
If I could just learn French....
The owls have flown overhead.

I don't think it's too cold for kids to do stuff like that, ever.
I hope the police problem isn't anything too serious. Keep your doors locked.

What, no lard? A diet dessert!
I'll have 2 pounds...
Tilson,
the only ass within smelling distance of you is your own.
How about some puppy blogging?
