Well, Susan has it about right:
Susan Sarandon on Sen. Hillary Clinton's White House hopes: "I find Hillary to be a great disappointment. She's lost her progressive following because of her caution and centrist approach. It bothered me when she voted for the war. There were brave people who didn't. She's not worse than other politicians, but I hoped she would be better. What America is looking for is authentic people who want to go into public service because they strongly believe in something, not people who are [just] trying to get elected."
Nobody yells "Owls" anymore?
Assholes.
blast you, NTodd, Only Child!!!
It's Lenore's fault.
Could NTodd spell Concorcet correctly, or is the misspelling (God knows why) deliberate?
She's not worse than other politicians, but I hoped she would be better.
I'm not a Hillary hater, but I gotta say I never expected much from her, either.
Nobody yells "Owls" anymore?
Wasn't my turn today.
JFTB,
Amen to that Sarandon comment re: Hillary. It is exactly how I feel about her. I really feel strongly that we need to weed out the career poiliticians, that is, people who are only looking out for themselves. I don;t mind some self-interest, it's only human and natural. But not this "me first and me only" shit.
Could NTodd spell Concorcet correctly, or is the misspelling (God knows why) deliberate?
Use your brain. No, the other one.
Clinton = Singlehandedly brought the forces of Radical-Islamo-Facist-Narco-Turrism to heel.
Chimpy = Let Clinton's victory slip through his idle paws.
Could NTodd spell Concorcet correctly, or is the misspelling (God knows why) deliberate?
I don't even know what it means.

Yeah, I guess you can only be disappointed if you had high hopes. I really was so excited when Hillary went to the senate.
That's why I was stunned at her war vote. Well, she's dead to me now and has been for a long time.

All right, young man. You've been watching too much tv news and preznitial press conferences. You're busted. No more tv for two weeks, and as of right now, you can just go take a time out on your room by yourself. No Mex, no Sam, and - no Pod!!!
and the correct spelling is Condorcet. He was kind of the Andy Sullivan of the Revolution, wasn't he?
The day started out to be so beautiful here, and now it's just dark grey rain. I was going to crawl around underneath my house and put in a new water line for the frig, but this gives me anexcuse to come in and visit. It's nice to be inside.

Women - "Direct" victims of Agent Orange
03/17/2006 -- 22:23(GMT+7)
Ha Noi (VNA) - The war ended more than 30 years ago, yet its consequences still rule the lives of many of its victims, including not only those who were directly exposed to the Agent Orange sprayed by the US troops onto southern Viet Nam during the war, but also mothers and wives who are suffering because their husbands and children are affected by Agent Orange.

A sample:
Adopt a Soviet Mentality. This is the first thing nearly every regular TJ's shopper mentions: Products appear suddenly, work their way into your daily routine, and then disappear with no warning. Example: no-boil lasagna noodles. Here one day, gone for months. If you really like something, hoard it. You never know when it will vanish.
Best Bargain: Orchids. Every shopper I surveyed had a different best bargain, so I'll give you mine—beautiful, long-lasting orchids for $8. I can't tell you how many last-minute gift fiascos these have helped me avoid.
The Shopping-List Guarantee. If you go to TJ's with a shopping list for a dinner party or even a moderately complex recipe, you are guaranteed to leave the store without finding at least one item on the list. Just accept the fact that you will have to hit one or two other stores on the way home. This raises a bigger issue: TJ's has great prices on many staples, and it's easy to forget that its selection is tiny compared to a real supermarket. It is not a one-stop shopping solution.
Fan Favorites. Here's a random sampling of some items my survey participants recommend: Simmer sauces; spices; beer and wine other than Chuck; frozen hors d'oeuvres (mini quiches, mushroom turnovers) to have on hand for surprise guests; unpasteurized orange juice; vitamins; canned turkey chili; Fage nonfat Greek yogurt; refrigerated pie crusts; bottled juices.

Well, the "framing" is stuck in: fur it, or agin it. And I mean that on a spectrum from James Dobson to Michael Lerner to many of the commenters here.
Very hard to have a calm, non-passionate discussion of religion on this blog without several parties starting to screech and throw feces. Which I figure reflects the body-politic in general.
But Bush (via Reagan) has made the subject impossible to ignore. Kevin Phillips has a book, American Theorcracy being released on the 21st. He combines the GOP, religion, and oil, and says it's an unholy mix. He's right. I'm anxious to read it.
Had Tweety gone to work there, and being the suck-up to power that he is, he would have had the Big Dog's Big ONE in his mouth so often that the Big Dog wouldn't have needed Monica, saving us all that fun during Inspector STarr's investigation and the subsequent impeachment follies.
Not sure how anything would have been different other than a much, MUCH higher ick factor...
I agree with ronjazz. Hillary has sold out and is unworthy of further consideration.
Here’s another typical mainstream media omission and free pass given to Mista Boosh. NBC News correspondent Kelly O'Donnell blunts Bush's low poll numbers by describing his "warm" reception at public speaking engagements, but "forgets" to mention all audience members at these events are pre-screened, questions scripted and protesters abruptly led from the proceedings.
The accumulative effect of such reporting, ubiquitous in the mainstream media, is both direct and subliminal. It not only deflects deserved criticism - pulling Bush back from the precipice when he has more than earned his right to fall – but breathes new life into the illusion that he is likable, and due to this likeability entitled to a wider margin of error. (Could it be any wider?)
Consciously or not, the mainstream media is the enabler in this dysfunctional relationship between the administration and the citizens it purports to represent. The enabling spouse who points out minor flaws every now and then of the abusing or abusive counterpart, but always settles on blind devotion, always avoids mentioning the unmentionable: in this case, that the emperor has - for several years now - no clothes.

True, but there's nothing new about that. It's always been that way. It just seems to me that there is ambition and there's ambition. One can be ambitious for power for more than just ones own gratification.

I agree. In order to run for president, a person has to be extremely arrogant. I would prefer someone who is arrogant because he (or possibly she) thinks his (or her) ideas about policy are the best. I'm not impressed by people who want power for its own sake and are arrogant enough to think they deserve it. Clinton is definitely in the second category. The only belief she is not willing to compromise is the belief that she should be in power. Yech.

Spend a little time in the "heartland." It's not so strange a concept.
Offensive. Irrational. Dead wrong. But not strange. To them.
From Wikipedia.
Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat, marquis de Condorcet (September 17, 1743 - March 28, 1794) was a French philosopher, mathematician, and early political scientist who devised the concept of a Condorcet method. Ahead of his time in many respects, he advocated a liberal economy, free and equal public education, constitutional justice, and equal rights for women and people of all races. His ideas and writings embodied the ideals of the Enlightenment and rationalism, and remain influential to this day.

I can understand that, but they do seem to be almost uniformly ardent in their Zionism, it does appear to be one of the motivators of their policy decisions, and I don't think it helps anything to not acknowledge that. Perhaps not to call them mofos at the same time would be more sensitive, but then they are that too.

The Reckoning: Iraq and the Legacy of Saddam Hussein
Sandra Mackey
Description: Sandra Mackey asserts that defeating Saddam Hussein is not the answer to Iraq's problems. She sat down in 2002 to discuss her book "The Reckoning." Ms. Mackey chronicles both the history of Iraq and the career of Saddam Hussein and explains why she believes it is a bad idea for America to invade the country.
Author Bio: Sandra Mackey has appeared as a commentator on Middle East events on CNN, BBC and CBC. She is the author of "The Saudis: Inside the Desert Kingdom," "Lebanon: Death of a Nation," "Passion and Politics: The Turbulent World of the Arabs" and "The Iranians: Persia, Islam and the Soul of a Nation."

No, they can't survive in our environment in VT. Instead, we hunt carpetbaggers from MA.
Steve, I understand perfectly, but I am not one to conflate Jews with Zionists or AIPAC, which have their share of non- or even anti-semitic supporters, with ulterior motives of the most nefarious kind. Lately, I've finally realized that the folks that run the world care not about religion, color, creed or race. They all hang out with each other and the common bonds are MONEY and power. Ancient family dynasties have established control over the banks, and the International Jewish Conspiracy is the same whipping boy that the Mason or Catholics or whatever are, just jealousy and hatred on the part of outsiders. Soliciting votes from any religious bloc should be worth instant ejection from the electoral process, and it's way past time that the churches, synagogues and mosques paid their fair share of taxes.
holy crap!

You'd think we never saw a grocery store. But the truth is, we have had shitty choices: either scummy, smelling stores like D'Agostino or Gristedes or Met -- or (y)upscale uber-pricey food temples a la Holier-Than-Thou Foods, Balduccis, or Citarella. Now, with Trader Joe's and Fairway we have some affordable options.

Armitage may come under scrutiny in CIA leak trial
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A former top State Department official suspected of being the first person to discuss the identity of a CIA official with reporters is expected to testify in the perjury trial of ex-vice presidential aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby, a court motion says.
The filing by Libby's defense team late on Friday asks Judge Reggie Walton to force prosecutors to turn over material they have about likely witnesses including former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
Others who are expected to testify include White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove, former CIA director George Tenet and former Secretary of State Colin Powell, the document says.

Holier-Than-Thou foods is good when items are on sale. But the rest of the inventory, while good quality and often delicious, is stupidly overpriced, even for here.

French protesters give ultimatum to scrap job law
PARIS (Reuters) - Half a million protesters took to the streets across France on Saturday to demand the scrapping of a new law they fear will erode job security, and trade union and student leaders gave the government 48 hours to comply.
Issuing their ultimatum, the leaders said they might decide on a one-day general strike unless the government withdrew the law by Monday evening.
President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin would "bear full responsibility for social tensions that might follow" if they failed to meet the deadline, the leaders said.
The marches were mostly festive and peaceful, but dozens of youths pelted police with missiles, set a car ablaze and smashed a shop window at the end of the main protest in Paris. Police cleared them from Nation square with many rounds of tear gas.
Scattered violence was also reported in Marseille, Rennes and Lille, where police also charged and teargassed crowds.
NYC pretty much supports the rest of the state, and has never gotten its fair share of the education allocations. Yet we down here always vote blue, while the upstaters vote red.

BTW, I'm happy to say about a year or so ago, Whole Foods tried to take over a small organic produce store in a neighborhood of San Francisco. They were complete dicks about it - taking over in secret, then pretending the original owners were going out of business, so they could lay off the union employees, then immediately making all the union workers "reapply" for their old jobs at much less pay and no benefits.
The neighborhood banded together and never let the fuckers reopen the store. Chased them out completely.

When Whole Foods bought Bluebonnet, and for a number of years afterward, it was still full of goth kids and punks and cashiers with facial piercings and shaved heads(girls). Local musicians and the people who run the local Hare Krishna Temple's vegetarian restaurant shopped there.
Now it's all retirees, and tourists cluttering up the fucking aisles just for the hell of it. It's pathetic.
Whole Foods was always holier-than-thou (well, it's customers were), but back in the day, the customers were hippies.
Austin has always had a problem with people who were too hip for the room. It's overrun with them.
Whole Foods attracted them, then went upscale, and attracted yuppies. Still does. But I prefer their meat and organic produce and most items (cage free eggs, organic milk, etc.), and just go when it's quiet and the snobs aren't standing in your way as if they own the place.

When Franken did his show here his friend Mark came up from Denver with his kids. His son is actually a pretty good fiddle player (you may have heard him promoting the Rocky Mountain fiddle camp). I don't think he's dense so much as typical of the neoRepublican mindset: start with a worldview that you find morally appealing and then selectively attend only to those aspects of the world around you that fit it. Disregard everything else, or, when that doesn't work, fold spindle and mutilate reality till you think it fits. Also, be sure to call everyone who disagrees with you a liar and/or moron.

So for all you new Trader Joe-ites out NYC way (and isn't there a Joe's in Jersey?), here's a few tips:
* They've got several jarred "simmer sauces" that are absolutely essential for quick meals. Cacciatore, marsala, spinach curry, and korma are the standards around here. Cook up chicken, pour the sauce over it, let it simmer - voila!
* I mentioned the incredibly addictive pappadum chips earlier.
* The coffee is cheap and good.
* Tuna for cats is 29 cents a can (out here, anyway), and pretty much all tuna.
* When that wine store opens, get the Two-Buck Chuck. The zin's not bad, the cab is pretty noxious, the chard's OK - they're all good for cooking.
* In the frozen section, check out the albacore tuna filets - another quick and easy meal.
* Also in the frozen section, they're selling a burger stuffed with bacon and bleu cheese - a little messy, but pretty good.
* And the Jo-Jo cookies are awesome!

You mean drinking a Flaming Moe, I suppose.
Whole Foods attracted them, then went upscale, and attracted yuppies. Still does. But I prefer their meat and organic produce and most items (cage free eggs, organic milk, etc.), and just go when it's quiet and the snobs aren't standing in your way as if they own the place.
Nothing gold can stay, after all.
Oh, the original Greenville store is my grocery store. I get everything there except paper and cleaning supplies and cokes and things. The food's better. I'm with you on the eggs. Those are the only eggs I'll buy. You can get them at Kroger, but Kroger charges a lot more than Whole Foods for organic food.

Oh, I see.... My mistake.
I though libertarians were opposed to government interference, not individual behavior. I thought collective bargaining arose naturally within the free market. I also thought collective bargaining was a way for 'every critter' to get what was best for himself.

I guess I'm lucky out here, where the town adjoins farmland and there are a lot of outlets besides the grocery stores for getting good quality, non-designer organic produce. But still, that's in season only, which I believe in, but that makes it impractical for a lot of places.

Afternoon, rational people.
Another problem is that the very word "organic" has been co-opted by the big corporations. They've made the certification process so onery and costly that it effectively prices out the small farmer.
Ah, shrimp bhuna has just arrived.

Okay, to be honest, the biggest thing that annoys me about Whole Foods in LA is that it's populated with yuppie-my-body-is-a-temple-therefore-I'm-better than-you types, who then proceed to drive off in their oversized SUVs.

The thing about the censure polls is, if they were conducted before or after the Dems dived under the bed. I could see that impacting reactions. Also, I suspect responses depend even more than usual on the exact wording and setup of the questions, as we've seen in the NSA wiretapping polls. The Mystery Pollster has a post up about it here though it's from last Monday.
dave--that sucks. They're stupid if they continue to only put up stores in affluent neighborhoods; the prices are such that those from less affluent areas travel to them.

Okay, and the people who buy the misbegotten things.
I'd suggest that when you go to the farmers market you ask the vendors if they use pesticides. A lot of people don't use chemicals but can't call themselves organic because they can't afford the certification. These are the people we should be patronizing, ahem.
I'm going to invent a tattoo removal process and finally get rich enough to flee Bushland.
It already exists. Sorry, dude.
And I happen to like my tattoo. I'm contemplating getting another.
I once expressed disbelief that a freshman girl had gotten a tattoo on her ankle--this trend was in its infancy--and I asked her if the word "permanent" meant anything to her. She looked at me as if I were an idiot and said: "That's why I got it on my ankle so when I'm in the business world I can wear strapless." I resisted teh urge to ask what business she was going to be working in.
Wow, these pills do cause dizziness. Night all.
I'm thinking the college kids I was teaching about ten years ago are just about starting to regret those giant snakes wrapped around their necks and such.
Don't forget the small-of-the-back tattoos that every third human being on earth seems to have.
They look hot, I'm not denying it. But I forsee a lot of women going Stepford and not realizing that "porn star" tattooed right above your ass does not impress the local chamber of commerce.

It's been done, honey. I worked for a company that manufactured tattoo removal lasers. Sorry.
Unfortunately, they don't think the "demographic" is right, and if you suspect that's a code word for too many black people, you'd probably be right.
Cause black people don't like good, reasonably priced food?

Athenae - I remember one girl who had to show me her brand new egyptian eye small-of-the-back tattoo that had to have been 12 inches long with inch-thick solid black lines. Of course it was slightly infected. I told her to think of me when she got to 60 and it began to blink. It meant nothing to her, of course.
cool. will listen.
I have pierced ears, which at 16 pegged me as a scandalous woman.

In my experience, they are very fussy about quality, and brand conscious.
No tattoos, no piercings.
NO FLIRTING!
Seven freakin' dollars for a bag of cookies?!! Damn, and I thought my area was pricey.
to combine the thread topics
"would you buy your piercings at a grocery store?"
...interestingly, the Joes here in SoCal take EBT. Has that not come to your area?
I'm sure it has. This town has a notoriously bad reputation. All the businesses bypass it. They never say why, but the fact that there is, at least, a plurality of blacks living here, if not a majority, is, I'm sure, not overlooked.
I don't blame Trader Joe's specifically - they're just doing what everyone else does.
Interestingly enough, because Trader Joe's won't come to town, a high-end "boutique" market is. Weird...
i spent the first 7 years of my life being stuck w/ needles. i could never get a piercing or a tattoo.

The tendency to bare one's midriff or lower back is evidently inversely proportional to how slim one is, alas.
Just have your piercings and tatoos done by reputable people. That's the ticket.
Bad tatoos are worse than bad art, and they can be fatal.

Moi aussi. Too many needles in childhood. Didn't get over my phobia until I spent years getting allergy shots.
Which did no perceptible good at all, and is apparently a treatment long abandoned.
Still don't like needles.
Of course it was slightly infected.
Oh, God, see, this is why I'm afraid of getting one. That and I'm a wuss and I'm afraid of pain of any kind. I demand novocaine before a cleaning, fer chrissakes.

Alas, it's not. Was on a trip through Scandinavia and the USSR, and it was our last day before heading into the lion's den, as it were, so a bunch of us got ears pierced as a final act of rebellious freedom, just in case we get sent to the gulag. This was '86.

I had to go to Target today to stock up on shampoo, toothpaste, laundry detergent...the usual stuff. And it was packed. Being the misanthrope that I am, the one thing I can't take is being in a crowded store. You stand and wait while people pick their noses deciding what to put in the cart, then you finally get your chance to pick your nose while deciding to put in the cart, and someone comes up behind you and it tapping their foot like, "get the hell out of my way." Crowded stores make me think that an asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out 99% of humanity would be a very good thing.
At least it wasn't Wal Mart. I decided on the way home that if there are designer Hells - a special one for each individual - mine would be to spend eternity in a crowded Wal Mart. Which means I better start trying harder to love people.

I'm not so sure. I'm 50, and still wearing blue jeans and cowboy boots, same as I did when I was 5 (okay, I don't cuff 'em now, but otherwise).
My father in jeans looks silly. I look normal.

It isn't easy for them to make a living - they're open year round, but they don't have any income in the winter to speak of. They have at most 4 months to make their year.
I was never much interested in drawing on or poking holes in myself, but I don't have much of an opinion about others doing so. Some look cool, but judging from the undergrad women here, combining the giant mass of ink covering a substantial portion of many of their lower backs with ultra low riders and high-backed T-bars should be minimum a fashion misdemeanor.

Working in the service industry you want to kill everyone. They become like children, their hatred of eachother is palpable, and based on nothing more than existence. They nag you about securing privileges for them, advantages over the other customers. It is Ayn Rand's dream: a fighting gagglefuck of selfish individuals holding eachother down.

This reminds me of a young woman I saw walking down the street in Hoboken a few years ago. She had a very elaborate, intricate design tattooed all over her upper back and neck. She wore a T-shirt that said:
Yes it's real.
Yes it hurt.
Yes I'll still like it when I'm 60.
Fuck off.
I was with her until the "Fuck off" part.
Auntie GWPDA--have you ever noticed how democracy and good food go together?

That was me telling the tattooed Hoboken T-shirt girl anecdote.
my daughter is a devotee of Spin mag.
she considered a skull tatoo on her arm. there is one very sucessful israeli model i can thinK of who has this tatoo.
anyway she thinks she's all tough, and punk, and shit, but she's not really, and tatoos last a long time. so subtle as i could i tried to talk her out of it, but i'm her dad so that had no effect.
the next issue of her Spin mag. had an article of about 25 people expressing there regrets about their teenage rebellion. it would be horrible to live with a rock band insignia that at 17 you thought was the bomb, but now realised just sucks.

When I read Tena's Oreo price quote, the expression, "Get the fuck outta here!" cued up instantaneously. If the statement occurred in a face-to-face conversation, I would've said exactly that (circumstances permitting).

The problem with permanent body art is that most people are not the same person permanently. The youngster trying to acceptably rebel eventually turns into a worker and/or a parent and/or a senior, and not everybody makes those transistions with their tastes, attitudes, morals, or even personalities intact. So the tattoos, etc. get ludicrous. Of course this isn't true for everybody, if you have a well-integrated personality, strength, self-knowledge, a brain, etc. But that's not most people.

The lunch counter at Markgraff's Pharmacy was where all the local politicans went when they didn't want to talk to anybody. The mayor or various Legislature types or Senators or whoever. See, Mrs. Markgraff made this incredible cheese bread and would produce these sammitches - pimento cheese with green chile on toasted cheese bread. Followed by a chocolate soda..... Or Fridays, her clam chowder - my lord, nothing but cream, clams, diced potatoes, butter and salt. Or her lemon cake! Chuy. Politics hasn't been the same in AZ since Ed Markgraff retired.
Of course this isn't true for everybody, if you have a well-integrated personality, strength, self-knowledge, a brain, etc. But that's not most people.
People make decisions to smoke, to marry the wrong person, to stay in a job they hate because they need the health insurance.
Some friends of mine from Arkansas, their daughter was an extremely talented artist, and got a FULL scholarship to Pratt. The New Yorkers here know what that is. After graduation she went to work as a tattoo artist.

You can certainly be in business if you have a tattoo; the secret is to get it somewhere where it doesn't show up if you're wearing a standard business suit. In other words, those women with whatever tattooed above their asses will eventually have to cover those bloody things up (and not a moment too soon, says I, since covering those up would also have the handy side benefit of covering up the back of their damn thong underwear, which is way tackier than any tattoo I've yet seen) if they want to make more money than you can make working at Adults Only Video or running cash at Value Village. You can also wear business attire that covers an ankle tattoo -- I never wear skirt suits, even though I have the appropriate chassis to hang them on, and anyone who's seeing my ankle through my sock and my pant leg deserves it. *grin*
I have pierced ears, but a needle phobia, so tattoos are right out.

You shouldn't have to crawl under the house for that, mena. Just shut your water off and change the angle stop (valve) under the sink for a dualie, one side of which is quarter-inch, and hook up from there. Just be sure you get a dual angle stop with the same thread as your old one, on the other side.

How about the boob jobs, down the road apiece? "Hey, nice hooters, Gramma!
