well it's good to see that I am in good company here, the folks at kos and MyDD don't quite seem to get the fact that DINOS are killing us.
Fuck George Bush!!!
DINOS are killing us. 
I'd like to force Joe Klien to fight to the death with David Brooks using some of those Star Trek giant sporks.
DA-DA-DA-DAH-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DAHHHHHH!
Fuck popcorn, I'm eating Joe Klein.

Doug, no politics are allowed in the Disco Room. Dammit I just wanna dance!
Vicki what about a crescent moon...?
Vicki, weren't you going to Florida or something? Are you back already?
george bush is on snl.
wow bush on a GE Owned Network...I'm shocked.
the folks at kos and MyDD
Lieberman is pretty well despised at Kos, and there's some Ciro cheerleading too. I never look at MyDD. Don't know why.
not really gwbush.
'night, all.
until the morrow, when Joe Klein stands atop a very small hillock and proclaims, "I AM KING OF ALL WANKERS!"

It is a total mystery how anyone ever thought Joe Klien should be paid for his opinions. I would pay him to keep his fucking mouth shut.
I hope he gets caught in some absurd cocaine sex tryst with Dick Morris.
Due to the citizen blogs, guys like Klein are outed to their toolness.
Speaks volimes , though, that Fund has been rehabilitated for his personal 'indiscretions' and is reappearing in the media.

My newly completed musical project, Dr. Laniac's Bad Attitude is politically-themed collection of songs. It's now up on the new March edition of the Huffington Post's Contagious Festival and I'm looking for listeners.
Ballad of Bad Attitude is my tribute to Crooks and Liars, where I got the audio clips. It's a Beautiful World is a darkly humorous Eno-esque type piece. Various other musical rants and screeds are highlighted in the contest entry's preview track and all the songs are freely downloadable.
Thanks to all listeners.

When will someone on the pundit circut talk about Bush's war against violent threats to prescious bodily fluids?
Perhaps if they spoke about this more often people would see just how important this agenda remains.
Certainly Jeff Guckert and Guckert Carlson or Slooper Anderson can keep us informed about this threat to body fluids and the purity of essence.

I say we stuff him in a rocket and shoot him into the sun.
I'd bet that he would spout nonsense all the way there, too.
He is the unstoppable wanker.
I should post on my blog but I'm too tired.
so it's clear I'm not mocking short people. "I am small and not so dark" was the opening line of Klein's Primary Colors.
I took Klein for a weasel and a wanker pretty much upon first impression.
One of those Faux Democrats, would-be liberals or whatever, like Susan Estrich.
Pfui.
there was a site that wanted condi for vp way back in 99 when gw was running but now i can't find it.
so it's clear I'm not mocking short people. "I am small and not so dark" was the opening line of Klein's Primary Colors.
You should mock short people.
They got no reason to live. Especially when they're wankiferous like Klein.
I think it's a veritably photographic testament to the current, completely dysfunctional state of things that people actually evaluate the worthiness of others based, not just primarily, but *solely* upon political leanings. It's a poison from which many powerful nations have never recovered.
And certainly not Shrub (Shhh! he's sleeping...), but Karl Rove is to righteously personify the reason for discourse bottoming out in that ditch of hate.
I mean, c'mon! The Founders actually were able to collectively scribble signatures on our most precious documents, yet meanwhile the signatories would've loved nothing more than to have witnessed the demise of their distinguished adversaries over the slavery debacle.
so it's clear I'm not mocking short people. "I am small and not so dark" was the opening line of Klein's Primary Colors.
So YOU'RE the guy who read that book!
HEY NOW!!!

Well, if someone still identifies themself as a republican after their party has been exposed as a bunch of fucking incompetent, greedy, mendacious bullies..... sorry, but I do judge them.
I judge them as totally lacking in any common sense or common decency.
"Primary Colors" is a book that started out with an author who tried to hide his name, and ended up with readers who tried to hide theirs...
Hey Thers, did you guys have a baby yet?
Rummy and Dick got together tearing down the Great Society's OEO programs and they've been destroying shit ever since.
"If there is a prize for the political scam of the 20th century, it should go to the conservatives for propagating as conventional wisdom that the Great Society programs of the 1960s were a misguided and failed social experiment that wasted taxpayers' money."
This reminded me. I asked someone who at the moment sounds more liberal than he thinks, what a Liberal was. His response was A person who wants more social programs but doesn't care if they are funded or not and where that money might come from.
I asked him if he believed it? He said Yes. I said why? Where is your evidence? He said that is just how it was, that is what he was taught. I asked who taught him that? He said he wasn't sure, maybe his father but he just heard it around as well. I asked him if he based all important decisions including his vote that way? He said he really shouldn't and wandered off.
Regarding feeds in general, between LoopyNews (http://www.LoopyNews.com/) and the PBRC(http://www.drlaniac.com/feeds/
PBRCWelcome.asp) I republist 800+ feeds an hour. The PBRC is the anti-Gonzales nomination blogs (always looking for editors)
I'm thinking of creating a new PBRC-type system for people interested in nominating their own blogfeeds (lefty, of course). So nominate away.

No. After Monday everything changes, in that they won't try to stop things if they happen.

"The Great Society was an utter failure because it helped to contribute to social irresponsibility at the very bottom."
I truly do not like this guy. I try to find something good in every human being, but I'm coming up blank with Klein.
primary colors wasn't bad
Nonody ever said he couldn't write political fiction. That's actually his problem.
The book irritated me, but then I read it in a bad mood...
Well, my thought is that an extremely secretive Executive covers not only for ineptitude, but more nefariously, for tyranny. A pliant Congress is patently not the Newtonian counterforce to that shit.

He should have put his name on it when it first was released. He was hiding behind his momma's skirt.
I hope so, it would be nice for something positive to take place on that day, for me it is a very sad day.
Why?
So why is Digby trying to crush dissent? He's more genuine a Democrat than Klein? Hogwash! The Democratic Party is the big tent party. The party of inclusiveness.
And I'm hoping that y'all can find a nominee somewhere in that tent who's serious about the War against Islamofascism so that I can come back to the Left and stop voting against my own economic interests.
He made the Clinton character so much darker than in real life, though, feeding into the whole Mena airstrip-VinceFoster-deadwomanatNationalZoo crap.
Can you say 'projection' boys and girls?
Not that Klein has necessarily done that, but the fact that his imagination goes from Clinton's tacky extracurricular affairs to what happened in that book...he's a sick fuck.
Didn't he write another political roman a clef?
Relative had to work today, on watch for him(hard to have affordable health care) and he comes home, saying it is busy there.
Time of the month all the food stamps come through.
I remind him that the payroll would not be met at grocery retail without food stamps.
He said that was right, they would go belly up.
My next conjecture was that theyw ant to phase our food stamps so one company can gain control of the market, a dual use facility being the one expected to ganrer more volume and able to transfer other assets/sales to cover the loss of revenue.
Wal-Mart is number one in that department. Turning out food stamps, aside from increasing shoplifting, would push the mid market retailers out the window.
Granted the food stamps provide staples, without them suplly/demand curves would lose elasticity, and many profite margins would be hurt, food would be overpriced to comepnsate. Turns out the programs benefit both sides, and keep prices managable.
What we've seen in modern times is deliberate overpricing/olgiarch sourced models across the board.
So what if it's overpriced? Let them eat yellowcake.
The idea was to force an average household to go 3.5 jobs to meet ends.
That is strained now with pricing curves, interest/cpa, etc.
We'll see how it goes. The starving of the beast continues. They'll blame entitlements for the deficit and everyone knows such is not the cause. If these were stopped big business would lose a signifigant staple to its revenues.
Why?

Saturday TV Funhouse on SNL is brilliant this week.
My brother liked "Primary Colors". He came across it in Europe, where he lives, and thought it was a cannily captured, plausible satire.
He's never seen Klein on TV, only knew him from the book.
God that's awful, Politica. My condolences.
Oh, and politica, thank you for the kind words upthread!
ah, i see a post from our host, so perhaps he's lurking...
if so, i wanna thank ya for the link to hamell on trial...ordered a cd this week after downloading a few shows from the prelinger site...just loving the music, so thanks..can't wait to see him live.
d/l a couple songs from the gogol site, and that one i just don't get at all.
may i recommend back to you the scots(southern culture on the skids)...some good shows available free at prelinger..
thanks again.

It's not really awful because he was skiing a peak that had never been skied before, they snowmobiled to the top and ski down, it's called hybriding. He was doing what he loved and new the risks, he handed his beeper to a friend he was worried about. I went the space 2 weeks later and skiied it in his honor.
Thank you for the nice words though.
Sorry to hear it, politica...

I remember the wise words of a St. Louis talk show host, when I read Klein's words:
"You can't fix stupid."
Gore Vidal has a funny post about Capote at HuffPo: "I spent half a century avoiding him in life, and now I am surrounded by him again."
I really wish Bush would stop telling people how much he appreciates their leadership.
There's something about that line that always makes me want to throw something at the TV.
Oscar picks anyone?
Terrence Howard- "Hustle and Flow". If you haven't seen it, pick it up. It can be rough at times, but stick with it. Truly a great movie and a terrific performance. It's a shame Taryn Manning wasn't nominated for her performance.
civil action is on...(a & e i think)

The Doyle Davidson story needs some exposure. This nut is dangerous. Any help appreciated. Could save a life. He may have been the cause of the death of an infant. Please investigate and follow up. This is serious. I have sent the death threat link to the Plano PD. I hope this guy is investigated. He is a proven danger. Read the police report on his own site!

Alfred Molina has had an eclectic career...
Anyway, that's a great movie, a real "feel-good" family film.
Monica A - wow, I saw both of those years ago when they first came out. I saw Prick Up Your Ears again a few years ago on IFC. It held up well with the passing of years.
There was a movie called "Junebug" that was released during Oscar nominating season that is really good, but was overlooked. Amy Adams was nominated for an best supporting actress award. She should win.
Remember when Lorne Michaels offered the Beatles $3,000 to solve their differences and "Come Together" on SNL?
Lorne wasn't so much "scared" during that piece, but he was very purposeful in his awkward manner in stating that SNL was a player. A beautiful example of aggressively ironic comedy.
Junebug is a classic. Check it out.

We tend not to send the children out of the room when we're watching grownup movies. This is because they will come into the room anyway.

And yet she's a pretty smart, independent, nice kid now. Oh well. maybe James Dobson isn't right about everything. Who coulda guessed?

Actually, Monica, I skipped "Grease" and the whole '50's revival.
I remembered Elvis and the '50's from the first time around. My brother, two years younger, caught that wave.
And I read a review of the film when it came out that made the same point: O N-John gets Travolta by turning from a poodle-skirt wearing cheerleader, into a whore. The other reason I skipped the film (which, IIRC, changed the story from the play).
And I have always loved, and will always love, Stockard Channing. From way back.
Way, way back.
Haloscan just told me, and I shit you not;
"Please wait at least 20 seconds between posts (another -149 second(s))."
I like your children, Thers. Very well mannered pool hustlers they are. Okay. Now I'm really going to bed.
In the end, Sandy wins Danny by dressing up like a ... (wait for it)... whore and everyone lives happily ever after.
That's actually what happened with me & NYMary, except I had to dress up as a rent boy. It was a switcheroo.
And yet she's a pretty smart, independent, nice kid now. Oh well. maybe James Dobson isn't right about everything. Who coulda guessed?
Thers, Dunedain
My 13 year old grew up listening to NPR, and during the Clinton years, she heard more about oral sex than I'd ever heard in my life.
I figured there was no reason to screen her TV viewing, and we never have.
So far she doesn't seem abnormally interested in sex or boys, so I don't figure we did her any harm.
But I can still blame the liberal media, if I have to.
SNL scores again with the Natalie Portman angry rap. And she hit him with a chair!
And I have always loved, and will always love, Stockard Channing. From way back.
She was great in "The Big Bus" (an overlooked movie.) Oh who in the hell am I kidding. I'll be up for another 2 hours. I might as well spend it with you guys.

The Great Society was an utter failure because it helped to contribute to social irresponsibility at the very bottom. -joe klein
that's an interesting quote digby highlighted. just watched a docu on conrad black. he's written a biography on FDR where he posits FDR and his programs is what saved capitalism.
(one example that sticks in my craw: FDR gave us banking reforms, clinton allowed them to be deregulated. thanks bill.).
what a topsy turvy world we live in. we have so called liberals bashing FDR (i'm sure klein isn't the only one) while a conservative praises him.
while klein needs to be outed and spurned, attention needs to be paid in exposing spineless, unprincipled, cowardly, clintonian consultants who too often work under the radar and are responsible for dragging this party (and country) under.

I was on the Rusty Humphries wingnut extraveganza radio show a few minutes ago as a caller. They're having some sort of out of body experience about Brokeback these days.

My problem with Democrats is that they take wankers like Joe Klein seriously and continually attempt to keep their powder dry and not rock the boat.

We doubt that Klein has influence with anyone in the government. Klein is there to scare the lone liberal who is still in that early stage where you honestly fear you're the only person suffering these terrible thoughts. He happens to be in line with an evil establishment but doesn't have any pull just because they are clearly in line; that's who he's working for, not who he advises.

Agreed. The Democratic party on the whole is courting the wingnuts they believe can be converted, but while they are doing that they are going to lose all the votes of people who actually are Democrats, who don't just want a wingnut-lite gloss on the atrocities.

Exactly.
Now Politics is a battle, like it or not. You must learn how to fight and fight well if you are to succeed. How many Dems did you see fighting this year?
Were their battles well chosen and executed?
Was their a positive end result?
Were they quick and decisive to act?
And finally was their enough support for the ones that did enter into battle?
Think about it.
Agreed. The Democratic party on the whole is courting the wingnuts they believe can be converted, but while they are doing that they are going to lose all the votes of people who actually are Democrats, who don't just want a wingnut-lite gloss on the atrocities.
Winning over the wingnuts is impossible. I think they're trying to win over the middle, but the middle is *already* disgusted. They should be playing to their base, because that's where their turnout is going to be.
And getting back to my previous point, Bush is so unpopular right now, that there would be no political penalty for opposing him. Quite the opposite, in fact.
The Democrats are a party; it is possible to take them over and move in a better direction. Everything from local participation, donating and then calling to say where your money is going, not donating and saying why, just paying attention....
Being active in the party is best, though.
When Hillary actually started talking about reconsidering Roe, a real party would've thrown her out. Roe is about all the Democrats have left anyway. But then a real party would've fought like a motherfucker over Diebold (look at the way Rethugs fight over the Democrats supposedly using deceased citizens' votes).

Yeah, but to be more precise they're focusing on winning over the confused "insiders," not so much the wingnuts -- that would actually be a smarter move, though, really...
In this context it's interesting to note the new right-wing framing of the internets as rabid lunatic lefties. The idea is to scare the establishment Dems from paying any attention to what goes on in the blogs.

Well jeeze, if the Republicans are SatanHitlerShitforbrains, and the Democrats are all but useless, who's left? I'm not trying to be completely smartass here, but where do you turn to from this lot? Where do you go politically? Sincerely?

Who are the "confused insiders", Thers?
The Democrats are an entrenched American party; it is not possible to work them as a large majority of people should be able to. Local-level involvement by all means, but we need something else for the national level.
But then a real party would've fought like a motherfucker over Diebold
Yes; this is another failure that suggests to me that the Democrats are not really serious about winning. They should have made this a high-priority, high-profile cause and forced the Republicans to defend unaccountable electronic voting (not to mention voter purges and manipulation of voting-machine availability) and generally explain why they're opposed to the one-person-one-vote concept.
The sense I get is that they're working quietly and incrementally behind the scenes, and it is now too late for any reforms to take effect for this year's election.
Well jeeze, if the Republicans are SatanHitlerShitforbrains, and the Democrats are all but useless, who's left? I'm not trying to be completely smartass here, but where do you turn to from this lot? Where do you go politically? Sincerely?
I fucking wish I knew. I think Thers has the right idea, but it's like trying to move an elephant with chopsticks.
no, Eli is right, just look at the voting records.
i'll take any democrat over a republican, but not because i'm a democrat.
i am an ANTI republican.they have been trying to ruin this country since i was alive. and there are court documents to prove it.
And just because my perspective doesn't admit much hope, doesn't actually make it wrong. I really do hope I am, though.

This is the saddest thing for me. As if something about it is too frightening, more frightening than just losing again.

It is though if you think about it a good thing. I mean, if they're trying to frame anything on the inernet as possibly a silly leftist theory...
It means that they now fear the Internet is really run by liberals. They are ceding us control of cyberspace. Teh cool.
kei&yuri, what are you referring to above?
who's left?
What on earth do you mean? There is no pre-existing good guy for all the bad. The correct answer is nobody.
There really isn't much of a national party -- never has been. All the Dem officeholders are free agents, working for no one but themselves. The so-called national organization is just a fundraising outfit. It's been that way as far back as I can remember. Every once in a while some bigfoot with an actual organization moves in and takes over -- then you've got what looks like a national party, but it's actually the bigfoot's outfit gone showbiz.
I think the last time that really happened was with JFK/LBJ, and a lot of that was because the poor man was killed and everyone felt bad about it, and because LBJ'd been such a huge guy in Congress.
Yes; this is another failure that suggests to me that the Democrats are not really serious about winning.
They have their fucking heads in the sand.
The evidence of election tampering is there for anyone with eyes to look.
Maybe they can't believe that rethugs would actually have the nerve to do it. I just don't see how *anyone* after watching this crew in action the past 5 years would think they WOULDN'T tamper with vote counting.
It is though if you think about it a good thing. I mean, if they're trying to frame anything on the inernet as possibly a silly leftist theory...

I agree that getting attention is a good sign, a very good sign. They can no longer ignore us so we are in the stage of being ridiculed.
Anyway, as for who I support, it really is a pretty short list. I'm all for Lamont and Ciro and I'd like to see a lot more of them (Pennacchio would be a helluva lot better than Casey Jr., for example). Out of current Dems in congress, it's Boxer, Kennedy, Feingold, Dingell, Waxman, Sanders, Frank, sometimes Leahy, sometimes Byrd. Probably a few more that I've forgotten, but those are pretty much the kind of Democrats I'd like to see more of.
They are ceding us control of cyberspace. Teh cool.
Now we just need to get rid of the peep menace and the internets will be OURS!!!!!!!
Bwa HA HA HA HAHHAHHHAAA HHAHHAAA!!
There is a lot of careful stoking of bad reasons to destroy the internet. It's a refuge for pirates, it's a pick-up joint for child molestors, it's got all these lying lefties, et cetera.
Everything from local participation, donating and then calling to say where your money is going, not donating and saying why, just paying attention....
that's how it should work, but look at how the grassroots got rolled in the last primary. power of the establishment hierarchy cannot be denied. who holds the reins to that power? clintonites. we can expect more of the same until they are cleared out.
are we really expecting anything new played out in 2008? how many losses can these players get away with till they lose all credibility?
The Democrats are a party; it is possible to take them over and move in a better direction.
this why a strong support for Dean and and the likes Kucinich is vital. the center never moves. re: 2004. make the candidate appeal to the counter nut-wing...loudly frame them for what they are and defeat them...
No one can destroy the internet.
That horse has left the barn.
They have their fucking heads in the sand.
The evidence of election tampering is there for anyone with eyes to look.
What I'm told by what I'd call establishment democrats is that a) there is no evidence, nobody was caught red-handed and b) the things that can be proved are too few to affect the overall count.
Never mind that there are hundreds of these small events, each of which has a separate impact on the final outcome, and never mind all those statistical studies. I think most people don't understand statistics, but to anyone who has taught it for years these studies are SERIOUS evidence of something very fishy, somewhere.
And just because my perspective doesn't admit much hope, doesn't actually make it wrong. I really do hope I am, though.

Maybe they can't believe that rethugs would actually have the nerve to do it. I just don't see how *anyone* after watching this crew in action the past 5 years would think they WOULDN'T tamper with vote counting.
I really think there's a jiu-jitsu opportunity there to actually use the 2004 accusations in their favor, and ask whether the American people really want anyone to ever be able to question the integrity of our electoral process ever again.
And shouldn't the Republicans want that legitimacy of everyone knowing that they won fair & square, rather than having large pockets of doubters? Unless they have something to hide, of course...
Something along those lines - last bit might be a little too over the top.

My personal belief is that a pessimist can never be disappointed; only pleasantly surprised.

What I'm told by what I'd call establishment democrats
Honestly don't think I know any of these creatures. Every Dem I know realizes it was stolen.
So what's the message? Competence? Honesty? Integrity? Can any political professional -- really, think about it -- can any political professional claim to stand for these things in a way that Joe and Sue Sixpack will latch onto?
Bill Clinton had compassion, political genius, and red-hot sex appeal, and all three of those qualities radiated through the tv cameras. And he had a competent enough campaign. Is there anyone out there now who's got an equally effective persona and operation?

What about the providers we are all depending on right now, both service providers and privately held public services like Google and Blogger? These people need electricity and real estate. The people themselves have even more needs. All can be attacked. What powerful interest is currently terribly interested in keeping the internet as free as it is? How many business school graduate scum look at it and see only bandwidth going to waste when it could be a horrible dancing billboard?

I'm not 100% convinced that it was stolen outright, although it was definitely nudged. But there are way too many outstanding questions about it for any self-respecting democracy to stomach, much less countenance a possible repeat of.

Is there a listing of which states use which voting method and the tech behind this, who made it?
I felt less ignored in 2004 than I did in 2002 than I did in 2000.
Every 2 years this direction holds, the better I feel overall.

i fuck'n hate politics. this nation is spiritually sick.
ya know i was a born again when jimmy carter was president. we thought that was kind of fucked up. being a politician and being a jebus lover were sort of antithetical. but i guess the religious ideologues figured God was Dead, so they went into politics.
you know why? 'cause that's where the money is.
I felt less ignored in 2004 than I did in 2002 than I did in 2000.

I eagerly await the Democrats' 2006 congressional campaign strategy, and I hope to God they let Dean in on it.
The good old League of Women Voters (whom I love) has integrity of elections at the top of the list. They'll never say that the last one was stolen, but they're vitally interested in getting legislation passed to make elections unstealable. And in Illinois (where we'll be using new machines in a couple of weeks) they're sending poll watchers to every precinct.
Well, at least our reps from across the country voted for Howard. That gives me hope.
I'm not 100% convinced that it was stolen outright, although it was definitely nudged. But there are way too many outstanding questions about it for any self-respecting democracy to stomach, much less countenance a possible repeat of.
What could be done is a thorough review of one or two states, such as Ohio and Florida, states that were known beforehand to be close ones. We should look at the number of voting machines provided in each precinct, the number of votes somehow turned down or destroyed and so on, and the actual anomalies in vote counts, some of which have been reported for Ohio.
But I still want to know why the exit polls were so very much off, so much off that the probability of it happening by fluke is smaller than the probability that we will be hit by a meteor in five seconds, and only those of us who are typing here. All I hear as an answer is that the exit polls were terribly botched up, but when I try to find how exactly they were botched up all I hear is that the Republicans must have refused to participate more. Why would they do that? No answer.
Is there a listing of which states use which voting method and the tech behind this, who made it?
These lists exist. But all that is really needed is access to a central tabulator, not access to all the precincts.

Dean is on the right track and it was difficult for him starting from scratch. If he is given enough room to be himslef and recruit like-minded liberals we will be in an entirely different place next year.
I know the Repugs will place some time bombs should they lose full control of all three branches. This is what I am worried about, it seems that Dems never anticipate the set up and are caught looking the fool.
I'm convinced Republicans in the Pentagon wanted to set Clark up regarding the hellicopter deployment in Bosnia. They did just that and he was caught looking like a fool. I believe it was Sam Shepard that was flown in just for that job of making him look the fool too.

We should have a public health warning about anomie and how it will bite you in your privates if you are not careful. Maybe that would put some life into the Dems.

I think it's too late. And Clinton is the only Dem to ever show any willingness to seek treatment.
clinton's political genius is the reason why we hold congress and the whitehouse today.

Clinton's genius was unfortunately mistaken for a validation of the DLC strategy, which may be the Dems' core problem right now (it's either that or a Republicanesque addiction to corporate money; I can't tell which).
The only tried and true cure for anomie is ennui.

An urban sophisticate: The real is produced from miniaturized units, from matrices, memory banks and command models - and with these it can be reproduced an indefinite number of times. It no longer has to be rational, since it is no longer measured against some ideal or negative instance. It is nothing more than operational. In fact, since it is no longer enveloped by an imaginary, it is no longer real at all. It is a hyperreal: the product of an irradiating synthesis of combinatory models in a hyperspace without atmosphere.

Some kind of necrophiliac cuddle party?
Whence this "no flirting" thing? I'll flirt with whomever I damn well please. Man or beast, friend or foe.

You are so cute when you're all defiant and assertive.
Who has *that* kind of money?

Hey, I can charm cheaply if I don't have to charm very hard.
I wish Mr. Plushy would quit sticking his claws into my leg.

It is a deterrence machine set up in order to rejuvenate in reverse the fiction of the real. Whence the debility, the infantile degeneration of this imaginary.

For a pirate pyramid.

You realize that this is a widely-read Liberal Blog. The tenor of comments on this blog was solely responsible for the outcome of the 2004 elections.
Incivilty is bad enough. But what if some dowager from Wyoming happens on this comments section and sees... flirting?
You see my point, pray. Kiss 2006 goodbye. And we'll all get scurvy too, probably.
I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.

I have never lied to you.
I have to go now, I'm meeting up with Chris Matthews and Howie Kurtz.

phila is mocking that stupid essay by zizek.

I think you're right.
I'm always startled when he starts sounding like us.
I'll know I've arrived when he actually says "whiny-ass titty babies" on the air.

It appears that one popular explanation has to do with Blackbeard stranding 15 mutineers on "Dead Chest Island".

We already lost 2006 - and 2008 - by making fun of O'Reilly yesterday. Our president in 2008 will be Gunny Bob Newman, with Maggie Gallagher for vice.

Got to. Nobody else in the bullpen.
I love free crabcakes and chardonnay. Is that so wrong? Democrat parties are soooo lame, and W's ass is sweet when you get to see it close up. His ass is tight and minimal. If I had to choose between W's ass and the programs of the Great Society, it wouldn't even be close. I have to go now, I'm meeting up with Chris Matthews and Howie Kurtz.
Ta, ta, kiss, kiss, ciao.
Joe Klein
I swear, the man makes the case, in his own words, why he'll be tossed into the Duck Pit.
I look forward to watching his demise there. It will be as good as crab cakes and chardonnay.

now it makes sense. i'm guessing that he left them with a bottle of rum.
did you see pat buchanan on cspan? he asked daschle if he would support impeachment. that is going to be the gotcha question for dems in the primary. most of 'em will refuse to answer honestly and tie themselves up in a pretzel.
I have never lied to you.
When do you plan to start?
i won't get scurvy either, because gwpda sent me a box of oranges.

Phila hardly needs you to speak for him.
And whether or not you agree with Zizek's essay, it is not stupid; to say so is merely to demonstrate your own ignorance.
now it makes sense. i'm guessing that he left them with a bottle of rum.
He supposedly told them they were going to have a feast with BBQ and a keg o' rum.

fourlegsgood, that sounds like something jack would say.

That's retarded. Everyone knows you're supposed to have beer with barbecue.

vitamin c is ascorbic acid. ascorbic is greek for "not scurvy".
