GravatarIn the Sunday Times of London, what the media here fear to admit

‘Impeach Bush’ chorus grows
Sarah Baxter, Washington

THE movement to impeach President George W Bush over the war on terror began with a few tatty bumper stickers on the back of battered old Volvos and slogans such as “Bush lied, people died” on far-left websites. But as Democrat hopes rise of gaining control of Congress this autumn, dreams of impeaching Bush are no longer confined to the political fringe.
A poll last week found that voters, by 50% to 37%, would prefer the Democrats to win control of Congress. If Bush’s opponents find themselves in a position of power, the temptation to humiliate him is likely to be irresistible.

GravatarBrits hate V for Vendetta because they think that while it began as something written for Britain, it ended up with up a screenplay, actors, and directors that designed it for the American market rather than the British one. Thus they ask, like the Woody Allen movie, what was the point of making it in Britain?


GravatarUh, V for Vendetta.

GravatarApologies Aren't Enough
(A transcript of Friday's "Cup O' Joe Report" blogcast)

Three years ago, the United States began its illegal invasion of Iraq. Those of us who knew something about history knew exactly what would happen: the Iraqi army, rather than facing a fight they knew they couldn't win, simply melted away into the population, and waited, and planned. Even then, we could have still won the peace in Iraq if we had put an organized effort into making the lives of ordinary Iraqis better. And there were people, including some US soldiers, who tried in small ways to do just that.

But the leaders who brought us into the war, the cowards of the right wing propaganda machine who waved the flag in our faces whenever someone objected, and the assorted misinformed and easily manipulated drones that put them into office in the first place were too busy demanding apologies from the war's critics and screaming "Mission Accomplished" to act on what was going on. Now, since we've apparently run out of other ideas, we've just decided to drop more bombs on them, and try to sucker us into going to war with Iran.

It would be easy to just demand an apology from them, but in the wake of all this death and torture, that's no longer enough. If they had any sense of decency or honor they would, at the very least, resign from their positions and let someone else try to clean up the mess they made. But we all know that's not going to happen. Decency and honor are for wimps, after all. The only question for me is how far they'll go to keep themselves in power and out of prison.

GravatarThe psycho wingnut take on V for Vendetta...


"V" for Vicious Propaganda
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Arti...le.asp? ID=21621
If you liked the politics of last weekend's Oscar nominees, you'll love "V for Vendetta."

It's an exciting, quality Bin Laden film.

But if you're like the rest of mainstream America--you support our troops, believe in firmly responding to terrorists on our own shores, and/or respect Christianity--then, don't waste your time at this piece of garbage masquerading as a superhero movie. It is anything but.

If most other Hollywood films subtly whisper of an agenda, "V" clocks you over the head with it with a still sizzling, iron frying pan of extreme leftism. It doesn't arrive in theaters until March 17, but already the mainstream (ie. liberal) movie critics and entertainment media are raving about this egregious attack on our war on terror.
------------

The fact that they are reading this movie, which is based on a twenty year old story, as an attack on Bush says more about them than it does about the movie.


GravatarThus they ask, like the Woody Allen movie, what was the point of making it in Britain?

Because the original graphic novel was?

And why the hell did Peter Jackson have LOTR take place in Middle Earth?


GravatarThe only people who are allowed to blow up the White House are....aliens. And only those aliens defeatable by drunken crop duster pilots.


GravatarI'm off to watch The Jackal. Later gators!


GravatarOur desire to humiliate Bush isn't the root cause of our desire to impeach him: nobody could humiliate him with the economy of means and expertise with which he does it himself. We want him impeached because he's so demonstrably bloody bad for the country and the planet...


GravatarI'll drink Chardonnay with a cheeseburger

GravatarFrom Amy at Traumdeutung: Addendum to Marriage, Legal and Illegal

An update on the issue of comparing anti-gay marriage laws with anti-miscegenation laws, after discussing the Lawrence v. Texas ruling with my friend David Eng. In an essay that will be published in a Blackwell Press queer studies anthology, David writes that to compare these two developments creates an overly simplified narrative of liberal progress: a happy story whereby equality is gradually bestowed upon second-class citizens through access to the right/rite of marriage. Now, there's nothing wrong with this per se. The problem arises when "rights" are construed solely as access to the structure of the traditional nuclear family — with the assumption that newcomers will share in its dominant values, consumer patterns, and political leanings. Making access to the nuclear family the primary battleground for human rights risks making it seem as though joining the family made progress a done deal.

David Eng's books "Loss: The Politics of Mourning" and "Racial Castration" are very good, and his lecture on Wong Kar-wai from several years ago was great.

GravatarSunday's Shite from Bobo

All Politics Is Thymotic
By DAVID BROOKS
Let me tell you what men want. Let me tell you why some middle-age men wear the sports jerseys of semiliterate behemoths half their age while others customize their cars with so many speakers they sound like the hip-hop version of the San Francisco earthquake as they roll down the street.
Recognition. Men want others to recognize their significance. They want to feel important and part of something important.
Some people believe men are motivated by greed for money or lust for power. But money and power are means to get recognition. They are markers of success, and success makes men feel important and causes others to pay attention when they walk in the room.
Plato famously divided the soul into three parts: reason, eros (desire) and thymos (the hunger for recognition). Thymos is what motivates the best and worst things men do. It drives them to seek glory and assert themselves aggressively for noble causes. It drives them to rage if others don't recognize their worth. Sometimes it even causes them to kill over a trifle if they feel disrespected.
Plato went on to point out that people are not only sensitive about their own self-worth, they are also sensitive about the dignity of their group, and the dignity of others. If a group is denied the dignity it deserves, we call that injustice. Thymotic people mobilize to assert their group's significance if they feel they are being rendered invisible by society. Thymotic people mobilize on behalf of those made voiceless by the powerful. As Plato indicated, thymos is the psychological origin of political action.
If I had the attention of the world's politicians for one afternoon, I'd lead a discussion on the nature of the thymotic urge. I'd point out that if politicians weren't consumed by a hunger for recognition, none of them would agree to lead the miserable lives they do. I'd point out that in the thymotic urge, selfishness and selflessness are intertwined. Men compete for personal glory. But thymos also induces them to sacrifice for causes larger than themselves.
I'd point out that if you see politics as a competition for recognition, many things become clear. The economic and literary backwardness of the Arab world has set off a thymotic crisis, as Arab men lash out to make the world pay attention to them. The Israeli-Palestinian dispute is not only a squabble over land; it's intractable because each side wants the other to recognize its moral superiority. Democracy still has good long-term prospects in that region because it's the only system that meets rising expectations about individual dignity.
In this country, when workers strike, they're not enraged over a few cents an hour. They're enraged because they feel their company is not acknowledging their worth. When social liberals squabble with social conservatives, each group is trying to assert the dignity of its own lifestyle.

GravatarI thought V for Vendetta was unapologetic in it's Bush-bashing. That's why I liked it.


GravatarCan we devise a vehicle that runs on cheap wine?

We were under the impression that present engines will accept a variety of fuels, really anything flammable, but they won't burn as well as gasoline. For example there was a warning about how certain solvents, recommended as additives, would corrode the rubber parts.


GravatarAnd how about that fucking little twit Pierce Bush.......

Why the fuck isn't he in Iraq?


GravatarRemainder of Bobo's shite

The partisanship in Washington is a thymotic contest on stilts. The Bush administration goes out of its way to show how little it respects the Democratic opposition. The history of the Democratic Party over the last five years is the history of a party trying ever more furiously to assert its dignity. Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld are extremely thymotic men. President Bush is a thymotic man partially chastened by Christianity. Democratic activists have increasingly spurned measured, reasonable men for aggressive, thymotic ones: Howard Dean, James Carville and the post-2000 Al Gore.
If I had those politicians for an afternoon, I'd point out that even though the thymotic urge drives so much of public life, we really don't talk about thymos anymore. I'd add that when you read the ancient political philosophers on thymos, they treat it as a male trait. But over the past century women have been expressing their thymotic urges more and more, and people over 40 have a complex about female thymos that people under 40 generally don't have.
I'd ask them to read Harvey Mansfield's new book, "Manliness," which is two books in one. First, it's a subtle exploration about the virtues and vices of the thymotic urge. It's also a series of troublemaking generalizations about the differences between men and women.
Over the next few weeks, Mansfield and his feminist critics are going to brawl — thymotically — over his assertions. I'm not as impressed by Mansfield's generalizations as he is, but he'll have one advantage: he understands the nature of thymos, which shapes this fight, and so much of our political life.

GravatarWest, East Ukraine still split in heated election

By Sergei Karazy Sat Mar 18, 12:40 PM ET

STRIY, Ukraine (Reuters) - A longstanding divide between nationalist Western Ukraine and its Russian-speaking east -- the fault line in the 2004 "Orange Revolution" -- remains unhealed a week before an election with high stakes.

Liberal President Viktor Yushchenko, propelled to power by the Revolution but now plagued by splits in his camp, faces challenges from two figures in the March 26 parliamentary poll.

In the west, Yulia Tymoshenko, his ally who roused crowds in the revolution but was sacked as prime minister last year, chips away at his support. The east remains the fiefdom of Viktor Yanukovich, the pro-Moscow rival he beat in the 2004 campaign.

GravatarArmitage 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.

It suggests Libby's team may try to pin blame on the State Department for the leak of Valerie Plame's identity to the public after her husband criticized the Bush administration's Iraq policy.

GravatarTop police 'clear' Met chief over Menezes

· Ian Blair backed by senior officer's account
· Tragic mistake not revealed for 24 hours


The first detailed police account of the aftermath of the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, the Brazilian killed after being mistaken for a terror suspect, can be revealed today by The Observer.

The testimony by a top Scotland Yard officer confirms that the police did not know for nearly 24 hours that they had shot a man with no terrorist links. His account backs claims by the head of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Ian Blair, that he was unaware until the following morning that de Menezes was innocent.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Alan Given, one of the officers in command of the Met's firearms unit, also reveals that the officers were initially 'buoyant' after the shooting, thinking they had 'protected Londoners' from a dangerous assailant.

GravatarAcademy backer named as new Blair 'secret loan' source

The Labour 'secret loans' crisis deepened last night when it was revealed that the party received nearly £1m from a multi-millionaire businessman who has funded one of Tony Blair's controversial city academies.

Whitehall sources confirmed to The Observer that one of the group of secret backers who provided a total of nearly £14m in loans before the 2005 election was Andrew Rosenfeld, the 43-year-old chairman of the property firm Minerva.

Rosenfeld is a former business partner of Sir David Garrard, another city academy backer whose £2m loan to the party was followed by the Prime Minister nominating him as a working peer, helped ignite the controversy earlier this month.


GravatarMoonbootica - we aren't ever going to know what happened with Menezes. It was a private deal. That happened in 'our' space. I think the psych factor had to have been at least a part of what it was about.

GravatarTeachers warn of crisis over Muslim girl's uniform fight

School rules on the uniforms children wear could be thrown into chaos this week by the final law lords judgment in the case of Shabina Begum, the Muslim girl who was banned from wearing full Islamic dress at school.

Headteachers have told The Observer that if the judgment goes in her favour, making it unlawful to exclude children for refusing on religious grounds to wear proper uniform, it would 'undermine the authority of schools'.

Denbigh High School in Luton, whose case is now supported by the Department for Education, originally sent Begum home because she insisted on wearing a jilbab, or full-length Islamic gown. Begum, now 17, stopped going to school in 2002 and spent two years at home, before enrolling into another one that allowed her to wear the gown.

GravatarQ. What price a Tory kingmaker? A. A snip at £276,000 a year

That's what David Cameron is paying his marketing guru Steve Hilton - and £150,000 more than the leader gets


How much do you pay the man who could make you king - or indeed Prime Minister? If you are the leader of the Conservative Party the answer is £276,000 a year.

This amount - which dwarfs the salary David Cameron is paid himself - is the figure the Conservative Party is paying Steve Hilton, the shaven-headed marketing guru who is credited with the meteoric rise of the Tory leader.

Details passed to The Observer of company documents reveal Conservative Central Office is writing a monthly cheque of £23,000 to Hilton's marketing agency, Good Business, for his services.

GravatarSky falls in on Bush the outcast

Plagued by Iraq, the President's own party is abandoning him as his poll ratings plunge. Paul Harris reports from New York


When president George W Bush launched a high-profile series of speeches last week aimed at calming nerves about the Iraq war he chose to do so in the heart of Washington DC. At George Washington University, he asked America to stay the course through troubled times. It was a familiar message to an audience that had heard it all before.

What was new was the make-up of the crowd: only five Republican congressmen and one senator attended. As displays of loyalty go it left a lot to be desired. It seems Bush should worry less about the US abandoning Iraq and more about his party abandoning him.

Gravatar3 years later:

"Hell's fire guys had always been fighting for liberty. America fought a war for liberty in 1776. Lots of guys died. And in the end does America have any more liberty than Canada or Australia who didn't fight at all? Maybe so I'm not arguing I'm just asking. Can you look at a guy and say he's an American who fought for his liberty and anybody can see he's a very different guy from a Canadian who didn't? No by god you can't and that's that. So maybe a lot of guys with wives and kids died in 1776 when they didn't need to die at all. They're dead now anyway. Sure but that doesn't do any good. A guy can think of being dead a hundred years from now and he doesn't mind it. But to think of being dead tomorrow morning and to be dead forever to be nothing but dust and stink in the earth is that liberty?

They were always fighting for something the bastards and if anyone dared say the hell with fighting it's all the same each war is like the other and nobody gets any good out of it why they hollered coward. If they weren't fighting for liberty they were fighting for independence or democracy or freedom or decency or honor or their native land or something else that didn't mean anything. The war was to make the world safe for democracy for the little countries for everybody. If the war was over now then the world must be all safe for democracy. Was it? And what kind of democracy? And how much? And whose?

Then there was this freedom the little guys were always getting killed for. Was it freedom from another country? Freedom from work or disease or death? Freedom from your mother-in-law? Please mister give us a bill of sale on this freedom before we go out and get killed. Give us a bill of sale drawn up plainly so we know in advance what we're getting killed for and give us also a first mortgage on something as security so we can be sure after we've won your war that we've got the same kind of freedom we bargained for.

And take decency. Everybody said America was fighting a war for the triumph of decency. But whose idea of decency? And decency for who? Speak up and tell us what decency is. Tell us how much better a decent dead man feels that an indecent live one."

GravatarU-turn on Abu Ghraib torture image

New York Times forced to apologise after victim is wrongly identified as ex-Baghdad mayor


It was a sensational story. Pictured holding the chilling iconic photograph of an Abu Ghraib prisoner standing on a box, his head covered and wires attached to his outstretched arms was Ali Shalal Qaissi - the New York Times said this was the Iraqi who had suffered so at the hands of US troops.

Qaissi - who has that image emblazoned on his business card - told how his wounds were still raw. But one week later the New York Times has again suffered the embarrassment of getting it spectacularly wrong, and has published an apology after it emerged Qaissi was not the man in the photograph.

Any help would be appreciated!


GravatarJust saw "V for Vendetta" and it's terrific-don't miss it. It's a blend of superhero back story, Beauty and the Beast and Phantom of
The Opera with plenty of action. It even suggests that 9/11 was a government plot. You'll love and have plenty to mull over with your SO. The ending reminded me of Eminem's video and the acting is very good.


GravatarCoke 'drinks India dry'

Critics claim beverage giant's bottling plants are interfering with irrigation in drought-ridden regions


Coca-Cola has been heavily criticised for causing extreme water shortages in developing countries where supplies are scarce.

New evidence from campaign group War on Want appears to show that Coca-Cola has had a serious impact in communities in several Indian states and in Latin America.

War on Want researchers have uncovered areas in Rajasthan where farmers have been unable to irrigate their fields after Coca-Cola established a bottling plant. The War on Want report also revealed similar problems in Uttar Pradesh. Already well-known are incidents in the southern Indian state of Kerala, where a Coke plant was forced to close two years ago after it was alleged to have contaminated local water.


GravatarWARNING: V for Vendetta SPOILER ahead.

NTodd:

Yes, you're absolutely right on the subtext.

What happened in this fictional England couldn't have happened without the fear, and the willingness to live in fear as opposed to resisting it.

It's a very optimistic film, in the final analysis, because the populace DOES shake off their fear, and they go forward to make the Revolution happen.

I'm not sure if that can happen here. I hope, I pray, it will. But there are so many still enslaved by it. The 33% or so who still approve fo the deserting coward, for starters.

GravatarMovie Review - V for Vendetta


GravatarYou know, NTodd, on the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true.

So they restored sight to the blind guy in the next hospital room.

I'm sorry, Todd dearest, I had to say that.


GravatarThers, my oldest son had a merconium stool. I witnessed the most delicate, amazing thing right after the birth. The doctor, a tiny African doctor, took her tiny hands and threaded a tube into young DWD so gently and expertly he never cried. I was amazed.

(he is fine, BTW)


GravatarMe! Me! I'll be good! Pleeeeeease?


GravatarProfWombat--I roast it in a minimal amount of olive oil, black pepper, and a dash of lemon juice.


GravatarOne could argue that the American Revolution changed the way the Brits viewed their colonies, particularly the "white" colonies. The Boer War reinforced the lesson. Which was, give these people some measure of self rule or lose the whole enchilada.

So the American Revolution was fought not just for the Thirteen Colonies, but for Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as well.


GravatarThousands in Europe protest Iraq war, but few in US

NEW YORK (AFP) - Tens of thousands of people in Europe and the Americas protested the war in Iraq on the eve of its third anniversary, with demonstrations in Europe drawing far greater crowds than those in the United States.

Events in Washington, New York and Los Angeles drew approximately 1,000 people each, AFP reporters and police said.

At a rally near New York's Times Square, speaker after speaker denounced the Bush administration and US troops in Iraq.

The group Troops Out Now called for immediate, complete, unconditional US military withdrawal.

"Public opinion is now overwhelmingly on our side as it becomes clearer every day that this occupation itself is the source of the violence in Iraq," said organizer Dustin Langley.

And I see the likes of Cindy Sheehan, Howard Dean, Al Gore, and Russ Feingold as sort of Vs in their own right. Not as flamboyant and charismatic, of course, but each has shown a few more people what can happen if you fight. A bit more realistic than one masked man getting everybody to rebel overnight.

GravatarBush's dream

The Colombian authorities have seized a shipment of cocaine with a street value of $800m (£455m) on board a ship in the Caribbean port of Cartagena.

They found the cocaine, weighing 2.7 tons (2,700kg), in a disinfectant container during a routine inspection.

The police said the Italian-registered vessel was bound for Mexico.

Since January, three tonnes of cocaine have been seized in Cartagena, 1,100km (685 miles) north of the capital Bogota, police said.

It also comes less than a year after authorities seized cocaine valued at more than $300m, in what was described as the single largest drugs haul ever.


GravatarAnd I see the likes of Cindy Sheehan, Howard Dean, Al Gore, and Russ Feingold as sort of Vs in their own right. Not as flamboyant and charismatic, of course, but each has shown a few more people what can happen if you fight.
