His business:

His home phone #: 605-341-2370.

For Executioner's Song alone he should be so honored.
Ancient Evenings, not so much.
Politicians of all stripes were outraged when news first broke about the Dubai port deal, but not Senator Joseph Lieberman. Declaring that it was "not yet" time to block the deal
He will be the 'one" deomcrat that will be allowed on the talk shows next week to represent the democratic views on Iraq, the Katrina tapes, the Port deal,Frist changing the rules in the Senate, and Bush's low ratings. What do you think he will say?
Yeah, well Tena's plumbing problems have me sitting here for the second weekend in a row.
It's the wind howling outside that make me less than motivated right now.
if the woman has sworn herself into virginity and gets horribly beaten in a rape:
Oh yes - because being a virgin at the time of a rape only increases the "pleasure."
Not really, Tena.
There's this, but I'll look into it further:
"Norman Mailer is an American hero with a fierce love of freedom and an intellectual who has taken a stand in all the great struggles of his time," Levitte said in a statement.
Mailer lived in Paris after World War II and studied at the Sorbonne before publishing "The Naked and the Dead," the 1948 war story that earned him instant fame. He was previously awarded the insignia of Commander of the French Order of Arts and Letters in 1983.
Mailer, 83, won the Pulitzer Prize for "The Armies of the Night" in 1969 and again in 1980 for "The Executioner's Song."
Other Americans to receive the medal of the Legion of Honor include I.M. Pei and Colin Powell. Fewer than 500 people living today have received the award, which was created by Napoleon in 1802.

If y'all haven't read The Last of the Just,
by Andre Schwarz-Bart, which won the Prix Goncourt sometime in the 60s or late 50s, you should.
It's such a great book. It is probably the best Holocaust novel I've ever read.
Whenever the French give someone a prize for something, I think about it. Sorry - I know it's way way OT.
Oh, man. Larry Downing, REUTERS photographer, is da BOMB!
Legion of Honor:
The Order replaced the old Orders of Saint Michael, The Holy Spirit, Saint Louis, Saint Lazarus and Mount Carmel.
The order is conferred upon men and women, either French citizens or foreigners, for outstanding achievements in military or civil life. In practice, in current usage, the order is conferred, in addition to military recipients, to many entrepreneurs, high-level civil servants, sport champions as well as other people with high connections in the executive.
According to some sources, Napoleon declared: On appelle ça des hochets, je sais, on l'a dit déjà. Et bien, j'ai répondu que c'est avec des hochets que l'on mène les hommes. — "One says that of the [child's rattles], I know, one said it already. Well, I replied that it's with [child's rattles] that you lead men, to follow you." (The French word hochet means a child's rattle).

OT but it looks like somebody has been looking at polls. Hassert in NO:
"I think you have to be here firsthand on the ground to see the impact," Mr. Hastert, an Illinois Republican, said while standing on the banks of a breached levee that allowed a surge of water to wipe away a swath of the city.
"We want to make sure these edifices are safe and that the system is foolproof," he said, so that New Orleans does not have to "relive this nightmare over again."
(snip)
You wouldn't be shocked if you had come sooner than six months," one protester, the Rev. Will McCadney, shouted toward the delegation.
I think they wanted to slow the process down to the point that all the land would go back to bankers and developers, but the voters started getting angry. I hope they actually do the right thing.
Oh great, now I'm envisioning half of O'Reilly's nuts covered in ticks.
The other half in hummus?
Lieberman:
Gerstein made his mark on Capitol Hill in several ways. He collaborated with Lieberman on his renowned floor statement chastising President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky matter.
He's bragging about this. He's proud of it. This is beyond "wanker". Lieberman and Gerstein give cover to Bush while stabbing a Democratic president in the back over absolutely nothing important.
Why has Lieberman only critisized Clinton and his party. When does he get to critisizing Bush and the republicans?
Oh great, now I'm envisioning half of O'Reilly's nuts covered in ticks.

their argument that abortion is are regarded by women as a cheap, painless, criminal exercise in sexual do-overs applies to ALL women, inasmuchas ALL women are susceptible to forced or otherwise unwanted pregnancy.
instead of writing the smug senator (or whatever), instead i'd suggest writing his wife and explaining to her the place she holds in his esteem, modeled on what he believes all women are capable of, what they must therefore be prevented, and for what reasons...

Wingnuts dump Pat Robertson
Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, criticized by some evangelicals for comments about Venezuela's president and Israel's prime minister, lost a bid for re-election to the National Religious Broadcasters' board of directors.
Robertson, founder of the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network, was one of 38 candidates for 33 board seats during the NRB's recent convention. The group represents mostly evangelical radio and TV broadcasters.
NRB President Frank Wright said there was no broad effort to distance the group from Robertson. But "there was broad dismay with some of Pat's comments and a feeling they were not helpful to Christian broadcasters in general," he said in Wednesday's Washington Post.
"I think you have to be here firsthand on the ground to see the impact," Mr. Hastert, an Illinois Republican, said while standing on the banks of a breached levee that allowed a surge of water to wipe away a swath of the city.
"That's why we didn't show up for six months, and now that Chimpy's down to lunatic-fringe numbers in the polls, we're pretending to give a shit. Plus we had to wait for all the baby-raping negroes to leave."

Free Speech is not yet a crime, jello head.
Seriously, do Republicans send a hooker over to Lieberman's house every night with a box of chocolates? Do they have photographs of him with a dead cat on his junk or something? WHAT?
I just do not understand what it is they're offering him that's making this festival of debasement not only possible, but attractive. He seems to be positively taking joy in destroying everything for which he once stood.
At this point I'll be pissed if they DON'T offer him SecDef or a VP slot on the ticket or something. At least then it'd make this hideously embarrassing spectacle make sense.

More and more, I believe that's what it's going to take. We can donate money to Ms. Busby; they'lll diebold it. We can have a Million Woman March and Bush will show some Democratic Senators transcripts of their phone sex with their mistresses and Alito gets confirmed.

More and more, I believe that's what it's going to take. We can donate money to Ms. Busby; they'lll diebold it.
It won't take a riot. Think about what the average citizen has ever done. The average citizen has never contributed a dime to a political campaign, has never put up a yard sign, has never e-mailed or called any elected official, has never read or posted to a political blog, has never watched C-SPAN, and has no idea who their Congressman is.
When pundits talk about the groundswell of support from the Jesus Freaks (engineered by Karl Rove, of course) that got Bush elected, they're talking about a specific group of people exercising a marginally lower degree of apathy than usual.
One Senator getting 5,000 phone calls on an issue is basically a "riot" as far as his staff is concerned. $2,000 bribes (er, contributions) can generate huge no-bid contracts and goverment jobs. It's pitiful how little it takes to get a politician's attention, and it's even more pitiful how few are willing to try.
The "riot" that needs to happen is getting people (including ourselves) off their collective ass.

Bush has now unilaterally shattered those guidelines, and his action would violate the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) proscription against aiding another nation's nuclear-weapons program. It would require the repeal or revision of several major US laws, including the US Nonproliferation Act. Nor has he won any significant concessions from India. India refuses to agree to end its production of nuclear-weapons material, something the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China have already done.
This is where Bush is likely to run into trouble. Republicans and Democrats in the US Congress are deeply concerned about the deal and the way it was crafted. Keeping with the Bush administration's penchant for secrecy, the deal was cooked by a handful of senior officials (one of whom is now a lobbyist for the Indian government) and never reviewed by the departments of State, Defense or Energy before it was announced with a champagne toast by Bush and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Congress was never consulted. Republican committee staff say the first members heard about it was when the fax announcing the deal came into their offices. Worse, for the president, this appears to be another give away to a foreign government at the expense of US national-security interests.

Now, now, Miss Smith. It doesn't sound to me as if he sodomized you badly enough for us to allow you an abortion. Tell us again,in detail this time, exactly how he sodomized you. Don't leave anything out. If you want us to grant you an abortion, you'll have to be specific about what happened. Once more now.

The key word being "we." There need to be a lot more of "we." I'm not claiming to have all the answers, but no matter how militant 10 or 10,000 hard-core activists get, they'll never achieve the meaningful results that 10,000,000 each lifting a finger will get. Politicians and corporations aren't afraid of individuals, they're afraid of movements.
This race is important. We want to switch the "Repoblicans are corrupt" meme to "Corrupt Republicans are being replaced by Democrats." This could have a nationwide effect.

Alito threw me, too. Alito added to NOLA is more than I can take.
Like you, I wrote, I signed petitions, I did everything I could think of to get them to stop Alito. That was caused me to have a deep disenchantment with Reid and the Democrats.
That and NOLA - I'm about at the end of my ability to believe that dealing with this through the process is really going to make the difference. I believed in the fucking process and it hasn't just been the Repugs who have blown that belief to bits.

Democrats Want Immediate Vote on Port Deal
WASHINGTON - Democrats used their weekly radio address Saturday to scold the Bush administration over the Dubai ports management deal.
ADVERTISEMENT
The address also gave a national stage to the party's candidate to replace former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif., who was sentenced Friday to eight years and four months in prison for corruption.
Imagine how much damage a democrat could do if they were allowed on one of the sunday talk shows. The Katrina tapes, Bush's low apporval ratings, Iraq in civil war mode, Cunninghams sentencing, the port deal. Instead repubs will mildly dissagree, while praising Bush for other accomplishments and not dsicuss any other issue.

Neither is "is a REAL journalist."

I'd also make a case for intentional infliction of emotional distress, as well as bringing a knowingly frivolous case.

The story is very much alive and vivid with African Americans, I believe. It will never die, in fact.
I really think everyone involved in that failure should be tried. It was a fucking crime against humanity, IMO. The helpless were abandoned. I don't fucking care if it was mismanagement or deliberate - they should be tried for this.

the problem with dems and their votes, is that the media always potrays votes with a GOP spin. Remember the department of Homeland Security vote. Initially the GOP were totally against it. Then when they had to vote for it, they used the fact that dems wanted an amendment to beat Cleland and Landrieu with it. They kept on explaining it one way, but the media kept explainging it the GOP way.

I'm afraid this is true for every single interconnected issue out there -- that the uppermost idea in the minds of any of these animals is We must win, and will do anything to win. Because it's in a holy cause. god's cause. And we can do anything because we do it in god's name. And you will all submit; you will love the baby jesus and you will bow before your holy leaders or we'll put you in a fucking boxcar.

That's something I think about a lot. Since I've read a lot of your writing here and on your weblog, please let me ask you a question. Do you think it is worth continuing to support the Democratic Party? I don't mean, become Republican. It has gotten to the point with me that, when DNC fundraisers call, I put them off because I honestly don't want to contribute to the party I've voted for all my life.
Often, this place is a hand-wringer's paradise. Light-hearted troll destruction can be fun.

I'll admit to some conflicting emotions on that score myself. I guess, Bill-Clinton-like, I'll say it depends upon what the meaning of "support" is. I'm going to vote for the Democratic candidates. I'm still even sending some money to specific candidates, but, ever since Altio, when the party calls I say, "Hey, remember how the Democrats couldn't be bothered to fillibuster Altio? Well now I can't be bothered to uncap my check-writing pen. I'm not mean to the poor volunteer who's calling, but I do ask them to take that message back for me.
I do think it's going to take direct action to get the attention of this country's leaders. Eventually, something will trigger it. We may be out of time, ecologically, at that point, however.
