New Shite from Bobo
Hillary and the Ports
By DAVID BROOKS
A couple of years ago I watched Hillary Clinton enter a Munich hotel with a delegation of fellow senators. Clinton came in first. There were about 50 paparazzi by the doors. Cameras flashed, people screamed. There was general pandemonium as she walked through the lobby, like Elizabeth Taylor in her prime descending upon Cannes. The hotel manager escorted her into a waiting elevator and whisked her to her suite.
Then the other senators came in the doors. The camera crews started packing up. The crowd dispersed. No hotel manager awaited them. They pushed the button for the elevator and milled about until it came.
United States senators are not entirely lacking in vanity. So I thought there might be a tinge of resentment at Clinton's diva treatment. But not at all. Other senators like traveling with her. She's down to earth and fun to be around, they say. At work, she's serious, diligent and respectful.
So when I've been asked if I think Hillary Clinton can win a general election campaign, I've always answered yes. I figure if she can win over Republican senators (and Bush staffers), she can probably win over 30,000 more voters in Ohio.
She's also got a key voting bloc disposed in her favor. Ten percent of the electorate are what Pew Research Center pollsters call pro-government conservatives: mostly white, working-class women who attend church weekly but support government welfare programs. Only 12 percent of these voters supported John Kerry in 2004, but 51 percent say they have a positive view of Clinton. These voters alone could put her over the top.
But campaigns reveal character, and force us to adjust our views. The Dubai ports deal — a politically unpopular measure that almost all experts agree was justified on the merits — was a test of character. John McCain and Chuck Hagel passed. Clinton, though, joined the ranks of the nakedly ambitious demagogues.
Clinton didn't seem to mind when officials of the United Arab Emirates kicked in up to a million dollars into her husband's presidential library. She didn't seem alarmed when Dubai poured at least $450,000 into her family bank accounts through her husband's speaking business. She didn't object when the Clinton administration approved a deal for a Chinese government firm to run the Port of Long Beach. But when the Dubai ports deal set off Know-Nothing mobs, she made sure she had the biggest pitchfork.
"The White House is trying to hand over U.S. ports," Clinton charged.
"We cannot afford to surrender our port operations to foreign governments," she roared.
"We cannot cede sovereignty over critical infrastructure like our ports," she insisted.
All of these statements were deliberately misleading, since there was never any question of ceding sovereignty or security. They played to the rawest form of xenophobia.
Prolly edited all the good stuff out.

Rest of Bobo's shite -- sorry for polluting the thread but it's important to know who's kowtowing to Kenny Boy's latest talking points
The consequences for the war on terror will be significant. As David Ignatius wrote in The Washington Post, the government of Dubai has done what we've asked all Arab governments to do. It has challenged Al Qaeda; supported U.S. forces; modernized the educational system to combat extremism. It even gave $100 million in hurricane relief. We've proved that we may be inept in combating our foes, but we're ruthlessly efficient in betraying our friends.
But my subject is Clinton's political prospects. This episode — which combines buckraking with pandering — brings back the Clinton years at their worst: the me-me-me selfishness, the occasional presumption that humanity exists to serve Team Clinton.
It also shows Clinton doesn't understand her political weaknesses. First, nobody, not even among her friends, is totally sure she actually believes in anything, or whether she just coldly calculates political advantage. This episode reinforces that sense.
Second, Clinton is the only presidential candidate who does not offer a break from the current polarization and bitter partisanship. A McCain or Mark Warner presidency would shuffle the political deck. But if Clinton is elected, American politics over the next years will be as brutal and stagnant as now. The 1960's Bush-Clinton psychodrama would go on and on.
A lot of the bitterness would not be Clinton's fault. But over the past weeks, she has shown that far from behaving in an unorthodox manner, or flummoxing hatred, she is happy to be a crude partisan, and egg on prejudice and paranoia.
In the short run, Clinton did the popular thing. But over the long run, people vote on character. After a rehabilitating few years, Hillary Clinton just reminded us of her ugly side.

I wrote a sticky note that said "What of the THOUSANDS of LIVES lost in your president's war so far? Don't THEY count?
Idiot!" One SUV actually had a huge sticker - with a drawing of a chopped up fetus on it. How sick!

There's one story that deserves discussion: that the Senate Intel Committee, under Patsy Roberts, is utterly dysfunctional:
"This Republican Congress is simply too much of a rubber stamp for this administration," said Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.), an intelligence committee member. The panel showed no such deference to Clinton, he said, repeatedly summoning administration officials for grillings. "The contrast between that and the last six years of the Bush administration is just such a deep reluctance or refusal to do probing oversight," Levin said.
Carl Levin's on 'Late Edition', as are John Edwards and Howard Dean. And Zalmay Khalizad, who will probably be asked why he thinks Iraq is fucked up and the generals say it isn't.

Jeannine Cooper, Italian American, and my daughter. And pretty.
Lovely!
The thing about German is it sounds evil no matter what you're saying
They always sound like they're giving orders.
If the screenwriters for "Minotaur" really did read their Bullfinch, then I hope they don't omit the scene where Thersites enter Athens in drag and gets catcalls from the road-builders
Because it wouldn't be Greece without goats.
Jayne Mansfield's chest was her own -- Carol Doda & silicone were yet to come
I preferred Jayne to her daughter -- Sophia Loren was in a class of her own -- Claudia Cardinale is still a knockout
Now -- WTF is happening on Lib-rul Mountain?
Is Mia Sara Italian? Or is she American?
she's teh hot
like Phoebe Cates
but Phoebe Cates has the world's greatest topless scene
Eli--I sense you will not have sufficient boobage in this flick.
Right now there's not sufficient anythingage.
Lightage in particular...
Monica Bellucci has a great rack
Oh, a happy reunion amongst the soon-to-be-eaten. How jolly.
WHERE ARE THE CATS?
Where's the Cat Blogging?

I gave up smoking entirely a few years back but let me share this -- these people make some of the finest cigars available
I don't smoke anymore either, and when I did, it was either pipe or cigarette (or not tobacco).
Never got into cigars. They give me a headache. The line above is from Mitch Hedberg.
There is no way I'll ever vote for McCain.

I like Jim Jarmusch's monologue in "Blue in the Face" about how movie Nazis always hold their cigarettes in some peculiar way, between the ring and middle finger, or held by one curled finger on a hand that's otherwise a fist.
Draco
Thanks, Draco--been wondering for some time what film that was (only caught that bit between Keitel and Jarmusch while flipping through channels).
Everytime I see a movie where someone runs out of bullets and then inexplicably throws it at the attacker, I think of that bit.
She had her head lopped off?

(It would be something for Sci-Fi to do: the Thesead, the most popular epic, bigger than the stories of Odyesseus or Ilium until all trace of it was lost in time. Theseus defeats the older matriarchal order with its excessive sacrificing, then marries the queen of the Amazons, and it turns out every time they have a marital dispute she gets to summon her old army to sack Athens...)

Facts about the Mexican middle class
1. The ranks of the middle class -- defined as $7,200 to $50,000 a year -- have risen to about ten million families.
2. That is almost 40 percent of all Mexican households.
3. The country is in the middle of a housing boom. 560,000 new homes were built last year -- a record -- and 750,000 are expected for 2006.
4. Annual inflation is down to about three percent and over the last two years interest rates on 20-year mortgages have fallen from 18 to 8 percent.
5. Sales of home appliances have tripled in the last ten years.
Those facts are from Business Week, 13 March edition. Each time I visit Mexico, the more I am convinced that country has turned the corner.

Harrison Ford? Tell me how!! Tell me now!!!! I must know!!!!!!!
The thing about German is it sounds evil no matter what you're saying
They always sound like they're giving orders.
Which reminds me of a scene from "Sideshow Bob Roberts" in which Sideshow Bob is asked to explain to his parole board why "Die Bart Die" is all over his cell, and he says it's German for "The Bart The".
One of members of the board exclaims at this point that "No one who speaks German could be evil!"
Boobage is okay as long as it is handled in the spirit of love.

"Blue in the Face" is a fun movie, made on the fly when Wang's "Smoke" came in under budget with extra set time. It's thrown together for fun, with some great cameos, like Maichael J Fox as a perverted pollster ("Do you look at your bowel movements before flushing?")
There's also a waffle expert who explains that real Belgian waffles are crisp little cookies kept in a tin. Belgians are amazed with NY-style Belgian waffles, a big plate full of waffles, ice cream, whipped cream, fruit and syrup. They have no idea how their nation was associated with such a concoction

I sent you an email, but it looks like the folks at Liberal Mountain are still at home counting contractions -- but for a ewhile they vanished mysteriously & some of us made assumptions -- BTW -- the portable altar is from WWI (GWPDA's war) -- one of the saints painted on it is "Blessed" Joan of Arc (who was not canonized until 1927, I think)
How long until the other two get home?
"Do you look at your bowel movements before flushing?"
Not only do Krauts do that but they do it so customarily there is a special half-shelf in many German commodes. Part of the whole Germanic hypochondra/health fad obsession thing.

So. Here's the scenario. The Associated Press reports on a possible case of mad cow disease. Not in a human but a cow. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investigating. They are - to quote Con Ed's efficiently inadequate tagline - on it. USDA official John Clifford says the cow didn't enter the human or animal food chain, though he won't divulge where the animal is from. More tests are being conducted. He touts the U.S. "system of interlocking safeguards" against mad cow disease, adding, "We remain very confident in the safety of U.S. beef." This quote actually concludes the rather scant article.
There is one thing that might have beefed it up: an opposing point of view. USDA official John Clifford is the only person journalist Libby Quaid (AP Food and Farm Writer) deemed worthwhile to interview for this story. Forget about the use of pejorative language to blunt the impact of potential critics; Quaid dispenses with them altogether.
What we are left with is a nifty piece of public relations for the Department of Agriculture: Prime USDA Bull.
Your smoke rings always sound like they're giving orders.

And O, the disciples did run a-shrieking: 'What a big fucking lizard, Lord!' But Jesus was unafraid, and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's paw, and the big lizard became his friend.

Frist Leads '08 Hopefuls in GOP Poll

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - With home-field advantage, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist placed first in an informal poll of 2008 presidential hopefuls at a Republican conference Saturday night.
The two-term Tennessee senator received 526 first-place votes, or 36.9 percent, at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference's "straw poll" sponsored by Hotline, a political digest. Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney finished second with 14.4 percent and Sen. George Allen of Virginia finished third, tied with President Bush who cannot seek a third term.
The results were not a surprise and were unlikely to impact the still-evolving 2008 presidential field. Frist was the only potential candidate who aggressively recruited delegates.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, among the most popular Republicans in national surveys, threw a wrench in the polling Friday night by asking delegates to vote for Bush as a show of support. He finished a distant fifth.
Is there any reason why I should know who Tony Todd is?

Well I was expecting an amen on Tiziana and The Starmaker from JeffCO, but nevermind.
So Jeff. I get Cop 633 and Faye, and I suppose I get that Cop 233 and the woman in the wig are a sort of cinema verite seqway into the greater romantic story, but it seemed a bit odd. That said, Chungking Express seems a bit more hopeful than what follows, although I haven't seen In the Mood for Love yet.

Wish I could say the same about my own stab at married life-
NYMary summed it up (I'm paraphrasing): we either repeat or repair our parents' marriage when we make our choices.
Crap, the teen is demanding attention. Where can I sign up for one of those sacrifice thingies?
I might be able to help.
If I were 20 years younger, I'd be happy to have Tony Todd's child. I've always been a sucker for a great voice.
He did a few nice acting turns in Xena Warrior Princess. Shame he hasn't gone on to anything more high brow, but it provides a paycheck, I guess.

Can I interject here? While I find the Internet a really, fairly good place to meet people (and I have taken the leap a number of times, and it's always been interesting, at a minimum!), don't get tied into the loneliness of "virtual" relationships.
Cybersex isn't sex. Neither is phone sex...
Make it worth your while, and if you get to know someone on line and find that you're compatible, make sure you meet in person. Don't hold up a virtual expectation of anyone, because it is, essentially, meaningless.

The night I asked Stef to leave, I gave her my ring. I don't want it anymore. Plus I figure she could sell it along with her rather nice wedding/engagement ring and could invest the proceeds in her ranch business, so at least it would do some good.
G'night, y'all.

My marriage lasted from October of 1986 until October of 1992. We separated in April of 1991.

I'm a big fan of Wong Kar-Wei. He and Wes Anderson are currently my favorite directors because they have such affection toward their characters.
Quentin T might be the formal sophisticate, and a master of sensation, but his human touch is erratic.
"In the Mood for Love" shows Wong at his gloomiest. There's little of the wacky fun of "Chungking Express" or "Fallen Angels," the most deliriously romantic of Wong's movies (my favorite).
Instead there's romantic frustration carried out in a gloomy formal urban landscape with lots of rain and claustrophobia. One of the saddest comic scenes occurs in a western-style steakhouse, where the would-be lovers don't know how to use the silverware and don't like the looks of the ill-cooked steaks.
A great movie, of course, but I pre the magical Wong to the lovelorn one
grumble.

JeffCO
Hopeful is probably not the right word. She shows up at the end and they resolve to continue. It resolves happily in other words. 2046 does not, of course. It’s just the opposite in fact. It’s relentless search for that thing that’s missing. You never actually get to see it by way of flashback so you never really know what it was.
Chungking was indeed romantic. I don't really think of 2046 as romantic, however. It's much more pessimistic, or nihistic perhaps. I liked it, but it's totally different except for style.
Lots of homage to Bladerunner in Chungking don’t you think? He was clearly influenced a lot by it.

Al - I mean 'romantic' more in the idealistic sense that may be strived for but never attained. And frequently unceremoniously quashed. I hope you get a chance at some point to have a Kar-Wai marathon and watch the characters develop over time. They may be happy from time to time, but love is elusive. As TMBG said, "No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful. Everbody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful. They want what they're not, and I wish they would stop." Kar-Wai lays bare in lush tones why we never stop.
Al Swearengen | Homepage | 03.11.06 - 10:21 pm | #
If you haven't seen "Fallen Angels," I won't give too much away. Just this as a hint: One of the characters is near-mute, possibly by obstinate choice, and each night he steals a pushcart from some street vendor. He goes around making money, but only pockets enough to last him the next day. The pushcart owners return the next morning to find themselves wealthier.
They may be happy from time to time, but love is elusive.
Are you saying art imitates life?
JeffCO--Not to be pedantic, but you seem a bit confused about Chinese names. The director's surname is Wong. Kar-Wei or Kar-Wai is his given name.
Almost all Chinese surnames are one syllable, if that provides any future help
Glad to see you like Wong's movies
Kar-Wai seems to have a real talent for infusing his work with emotional truth. We can settle, we can hold out, we can get lucky, we can pass time, we can forget we're looking, but ultimately in our heart of hearts we know love when we're in it. But even when we are wise enough to sacrifice everything for love, our ever present fear of losing it again usually screws us.

I know, I'm just being lazy and personal. There was an amusing discussion along these lines in Ebert's Answer Man column.
Q. Replying to my Answer Man letter about Chinese name order, you asked about my own name. My family name is Zhang, given name Mengmeng. But I go by Mengmeng Zhang because I've been here for many years and that's how I think of myself in English. I'm not sure really how it should be done in the West. A slight correction again in regards to whether Zhang Ziyi or Ziyi Zhang is more popular. If you do the search on Google using quotes, so it only searches the exact phrase, "Zhang Ziyi" beats "Ziyi Zhang" 2.4 million to about 600,000. - Mengmeng Zhang, South Bend, Ind.
A. Note to self and copy editors: It's "Zhang Ziyi" from now on, except when the movie credits have it the other way, which is most of the time.
I've gone mental.
Guitar!

Probably a dead thread, but...
We can settle, we can hold out, we can get lucky, we can pass time, we can forget we're looking, but ultimately in our heart of hearts we know love when we're in it....

That comes across much more in Chungking whereas 2046 is much more cynical, nihilistic IMO, and in stark contrast to say, Gilliam's Brazil which was at it's core a love story of similar end, although the relationship was captured more from a Chungking angle.
I see the end to 2046 in much the same way I see the end to Brazil, only without the subtext.
.
Actually, maybe that was just a cheap excuse to mention my favoite dour ending to a lovestory.
