Legalizing prostitution has been shown to decrease rape and battery rates. There is a stark illustration of the reverse of this in action in Sweden, where the same sudden NuLabour concern for prostitution laws had earlier taken root.
Human concern over prostitution is drawn to making it as safe as possible, a necessary part of which is legality and taking sex workers seriously as citizens -- yet the NuLab yarblings omit a familiar stench of patronizing, exploitative superficial concern amid every lurid story that can be sqeezed into a conspiracy theory.
,, Society: 24th June 2004
Prostitution has been swept off Sweden's streets - but now it's more dangerous than ever. Meanwhile, police expect a surge in rape attacks and HIV is making a comeback.

The problem, I think, is not with the Nagster himself. He's an idiot, fine. So why is he still published in the nation's paper of Record? Because whoever signs the check of whoever signs Nags' check wants him there. I give a shit if "85% of the media are registered Democrats!", or whatever the wingie squawking point is. They write what their editors want, or they're looking for a job. We prevail on Nags to change his ways, or maybe he finds a brain at a garage sale somewhere, and he'll be working at the carwash. The Media will have to change from the top down, or it won't change at all. They decide their bread is buttered on the other side, the Right will be getting the short end of the stick--which will not be a good thing, either, if I may be so bold. We want facts, the Right wants propaganda, and the owners of the media want profits, and propaganda pays better.

By rejecting criticism of Carroll’s comments, and attacking those who place them in their proper perspective, the Think Progress author joins Carroll in casting the terrorists in a far better light than they deserve. Carroll did so after nearly three months of intense emotional distress. What is Think Progress’s excuse?

One segment they do is have a listener try to pick the real story from three absurd items. PJ's regarded a guy who paid other people to plagiarize him. Heh.

Last night he had the most amazing moth I've ever seen. It was enormous - it had a 6 inch wingspan. No lie. It wasn't colorful - the wings were plain. But I've not seen one that size before. I got it from him and put it out front, but I fear it was too damaged to make it.

We went looking at prom dresses, but we didn't find anything.
I have a feeling this will be a long, laborious process, since my daughter is picky.
And the fact that she's 5'10-1/2", big boned, with a swimmer's build (wide, muscular back and shoulders) doesn't exactly go hand in hand with the Size 4 and 6 dresses on the market today.

There's also the fact that Democrat voting records in a Republican controlled Congress don't mean all that much, and that Joe surely knows this...

Last night he had the most amazing moth I've ever seen. It was enormous - it had a 6 inch wingspan. No lie. It wasn't colorful - the wings were plain. But I've not seen one that size before. I got it from him and put it out front, but I fear it was too damaged to make it.

I can understand your concern, but things aren't what they used to be. It's bad, but it has become more common to see mixed race couples than it used to be. I don't know that that has eased it much for the couples, but it really doesn't seem to faze people here at all anymore to see a mixed race couple.
Like I said, this is perception from someone who isn't trying to fight a prejudice, so I probably think things are better than they are. But it does seem to be a bit better these days.

Seriously kids, America the concept has never been "my country right or wrong." You're not even remotely original in your tiny efforts to make it so. Better totalitarians than you have tried, long before you were born, and failed. Your attempts to turn brother against brother will also fail.
The only thing sadder than your efforts are those of you who actually grasp what you're promoting and favor it: you are the ones who truly despise the (still unrealized) American promise of freedom and equality. Sad puppies all.

SHG - the wings weren't the right shape for a Luna. It didn't have the swallow tail-shaped lower wings. Instead, it had wings shaped more as a dragonfly's wings are, the uppers being huge, the lowers much smaller. It was definitely a moth - it had a fat moth body and thick antennae that looked ferny.

Another note on V4V--
Not having slavishly followed the pre-release hype, I didn't know who the actor who played "V" was, but his voice was SO familiar that it was driving me nuts.
It was only when he spoke to Evie in the jail cell in a less formal voice, still with his face in darkness, that I finally hipped to who it was.
And I think he's a good actor, who would also be good in movies with less of a niche appeal.
Oh, and Natalie Portman was great (and hot too, which is weird because going in I thought she looked too much like my kid to have much sex appeal for me).

I'd heard it was Elrond (sp.? I'm no longer a Tolkein geek) from LOTR and "Agent Smith" from "The Matrix."
Can't remember his name, but not John Hurt. Am I wrong about this?

I, being originally from California, made chili for him several times early in our marriage....you can see where this is leading....I added bell peppers, tomatos, beans, cocoa powder,masa and a bunch of other things. He ate it and liked it then informed me very nicely that that wasn't chili. I said, ok you do it. He fried some ground sirloin, browned a chopped onion, threw then into the pot a handful of Chili Quick and called it done. Sure was easy to do and fast. So, guess who makes Texas chili now?

Hurt was Sutler.
The first time I ever saw John Hurt was when he played Caligula in "I Claudius."
RMJ - I get frozen chili bricks from James Coney Island, one probably by you. Good in a pinch. Chop a little onion to throw in to taste, and add some grated cheese. Or the frito pie (just add frito's).

I disagree. Mexico should stay where it is. Illegal immagration is underminging this country's social structure.
My chili has no beans. Wife don't like 'em.
TexasChiliBean
This is:
a) spoken by a non-Texan
b) by someone who has never ventured south of Dallas
c) glib.
Mexico is already, culturally, at least, as far north as San Antonio, and covers most of the lower half of Texas. No one complains.
You'll notice neither Cornyn nor Hutchison are clamoring for immigration reform a la Tancredo (Colo.) or Sensenbrenner (WI).

The calls went out across the nation, as Bush administration officials asked the country's most seasoned disaster response experts to consider the job of a lifetime: FEMA director. But again and again, the response over the past several months was the same: "No thanks."
Unconvinced that the administration is serious about fixing the Federal Emergency Management Agency or that there is actually enough time to get it done before President Bush's second term ends, seven of these candidates for director or another top FEMA job said in interviews that they had pulled themselves out of the running.

flg - The bricks are only like four bucks, no beans, and full of meat. So you can add a couple things to make it go further. James Coney Island has been in business since about 1925, so they have refined their recipe until I think it is pretty good.
PS - The BBQ place that I missed your question on was Lyndon's off 290 in west Houston. If you get in their a minute after 11:30 the line is almost out the door. It's amazing, the difference off going their five minutes late is fifty people. Plus they have pulled pork that is as good as anything I found in Georgia.

Life has a myriad mysteris. We do not know as yet the cause of sin and sickness, why it has imposed on the race. But we do know, though surrounded by breaking hearts and desparing cries, that there is a cure for all earth's sorrows. IT is this that gives joy and makes the very earth seem tremulous with praise. Do you wonder that the soul of Jesus broke forth into music when he realized that He knew the cure for all earth's ills, or that the Psalmist called on even the hills to break forth singing? And now, as then, the cure is the same - to know God. And to know God means more than a name.

What goes well in jambalaya? I usually use smoked sausage and chicken, but I'm thinking of adding chorizo or possibly shrimp.
George (3 is dead) Cullinan
I've seen all kinds of variations, but I keep it simple. Cut up a chicken, fry it in a pan (I have a huge pan that will fry a whole chicken, cut into parts). Then add the holy trinity (onion, bell pepper, celery), garlic and sausage and spices, then rice (3 cups, IIRC; a lot, anyway). Cook that a bit, then add water, and cover to cook the rice.
It's easy and feeds a crowd, and delicious. Like I say, I've seen more complex recipes that are probably delicious, too, but I like to keep it simple.

dear god, please use poblanos. Even though I'm not a chili fan, the thought of bell peppers in chili gives me chills and not good ones.
I love me some bell and yellow and red peppers in what I call, but discover is not, chili. I like the texture and subtle flavor, but I also like to put some jalapeno or habanera pepper to spice it up a bit.
Now I have made myself all hungrified. and might have to run out and collect the ingredients for that which is not in reality, but remains referred to as chili.
I make it with beans as well.

Yes, he can. And I am apparently one of the few around here who really get off on his smoldering-ness. Or -ability - whatever. And I don't like blonde men all that much as a rule. Russell is a huge exception to that - I just find him very male, very overtly.

You obviously don't know your way around the barrio. You never went down to Harry Hines for Mexican food? To Rosita's on Maple? You never ate at the truly reprehensible Guadalajara's on Ross Avenue, where you went through the kitchen to the bathrooms and really really wished you hadn't done either one?
Tena
Dear, I was born in Dallas, moved away when I was six, spent my childhood travelling there from Tyler (family was all there), ate tamales from the street vendors (still the best I've ever had, though I shudder to think what was in them), and only knew Tex-Mex from those two restaurants.
Then I lived in Austin for 15 years, and spent 3 in law school in San Antonio. And I knew what Tex-Mex was supposed to be.
When I was in and around Dallas, if there was a "Barrio," my family wouldn't have visited it. But I go back to the days when my grandparents lived in Oak Cliff and I visited there regularly, if that gives you any idea how much things have changed since I was a regular 'round there.

Funny, as I was discussing Beethoven today, I'm not one who knows a lot about the artists, history, etc. I just know what I like, and when I occassionally find a tidbit of trivia or other info, I appreciate it and file it. And I do have a variety of books on actors, musicians, politicians and the like. But the overall celebrity thing doesn't interest me.
Really, it's mostly a reaction to people saying they hate a particular artist "because he's an asshole". I don't care, and that attitude bugs me to no end.

When I was just out of law school, I looked for a place to live in Oak Cliff. The Colorado Blvd. area is the most beautiful area in Dallas, IMO.
Yah, Robert, Dallas has changed more than I can say since those days. There's excellent Tex Mex and other kinds of Mexican food here these days. Dallas sometimes seems to be to be nothing but wall to wall restaurants and shops. There are restaurants everywhere. When I was growing up, there were about 5 good ones.

There are examples, though, like Sean Connery who's reportedly quite the misogynist, and I still love his work because I don't see that manifest in his acting.

My best friend's wife hates James Woods because of something despicable one of his *characters* did. She feels he should have refused to do it.
Oh jeebus.
Two words: Mel Gibson.
I still like what he does as an actor. 'course, I can't go in for his snuff film. That's not because of his political/religious beliefs per se, but rather that his political/religious drove him to make something I have no interest in.

I think Mel Gibson is overrated.
But he's a major Three Stooges fan, so that counts for something.
I would'a respected him a lot more if he'd made The Passion of the Moe.

Re: chili...
It's probably just my regionalism showing (I'm a native New Mexican) but whenever I hear chili spoken as a meal, it just makes me cringe.
To me; CHILE is a spice, CHILI is an obscene Texas import !

I really crack up when I hear you Noo Yawkers going on about Trader Joe's. I don't wanna rub it in or anything, but I was in two different Trader Joe's yesterday, and one was moderately crowded (it was around lunchtime) while the other was darn near empty (about . Zipped in and out both times, and got parking right in front of the store!
Tis true. I suggested it and he didn't bite, so I guess we'll have to wait for tomorrow. *sigh* I need some lessons from res.
BTW - NYers - Why don't we all get together for dinner sometime. If we wait for NTodd it might be too long a wait.

BTW, from all I hear, Clint Eastwood is a delightful guy in person. And I've seen him interviewed where he's very engaging, well-spoken, and funny.
A question compellingly explored by Klaus Maria Brandauer in Mephisto.

It's a very deep question - the relation of the artist to the work. I've pimped this book several times, but I really do love it. Peter Ackroyd, the British writer who is chiefly a literary biographer, wrote a really lovely little novel on this subject. It's called Chatterton. Chatterton himself had one main claim to fame that was a hoax. But it was so well done that it raised the question of what difference it made that the work wasn't what it purported to be - it was so good on its own. Then there is the question of what difference it makes whether the same artist who purported to paint something actually did. In the case of Rembrandt, experts still cannot agree on whether or not some paintings attributed to him are authentic. It matters for their value in terms of cost. But aesthetically, if the paintings are so close, one has to begin to wonder what difference the identity of the artist makes. Consequently, what difference does the artist's personal life and personality make to the work?

The thing I really hate about a Trader Joe's opening in NYC is I can no longer send my cousin and her family their Christmas package featuring Joe's cookies, candies and coffees.
Well, it's all part of the package. I'm making Todd English's tomato and spinach soup tonight with Trader Joe's FreeRange Chicken broth. Smells yummy so far.

Even before i knew about Ted Nugents political philosophy, I couldn't stand his music (Cat Stratch Fever?...Oh Puleeze!)
Never heard a sngle song by Toby Keith; tho I guess if the song was meaningful enough to me, I might not hold his politics against the song.
But(am I misremembering?) I thought he reputiated his earlier embrace of Dim Son?

Nagourney graduated from Purchase College, which is better known for producing actors, artists and musicians than sharp political analysts. Edie Falco and Stanley Tucci are graduates. Nagourney worked for many years at the New York Daily News and, I think, was well plugged in to the aspiring gay journalist network in New York.

Nagourney was also known to be a very hard-working journalist (at least when he was on the way up). He was relentless about tracking down leads on the phone and worked long hours.
For him to become a "political analyst" instead of a straight reporter is another demonstration of the "Peter Principle" at work.
