Tom Delay has never been shy about comparing himself to Jesus Christ. In 2001, Delay defended his none-too-subtle campaign to bring his fundamentalism to the United States Congress, "People hate the messenger. That's why they killed Christ." At last weekend's "War on Christians" conference, Delay's American Taliban allies elevated his Christ complex to the level of a crusade.

I'm glad Scotty is gone. I was about ready to kill him. He hasn't answered one question the entire time he has been Press Sec. and he's so damn petulant. At least Ari wasn't petulant. The fact Ari quit made him go up in my estimation, too, though that may be misplaced.

· Teenagers set up Irish company to evade bans
· Export control minister has asked for report
Richard Norton-Taylor
Thursday March 30, 2006
The Guardian
Schoolchildren have exploited loopholes in Britain's arms controls by importing torture equipment including thumb and wall cuff restraint devices and a Chinese "sting stick" - a metal bar covered with spikes.
All that teenagers from Lord Williams's school in Thame, Oxfordshire, needed was a letterhead, a mobile phone, an email address, and a little money. They also set up a separate company in Ireland to avoid British controls on the sale of small arms.

Nothing classier than Reubens with an entirely unpretentious wine, though I'd prefer beer myself. You've probably met people whose lack of pretension was in fact pretentious as all hell...
Nothing, anywhere, says you can't enjoy a cheeseburger and a coke if you also like chateaubriand with a 20 year old Margaux. And there damned well shouldn't be. Robert Christgau, in the (New York City) 'Village Voice', once said famously that any definition of great art that excludes Chuck Berry isn't worth serious consideration...

Thanks, Paterfamilias...but I'm really shocked. I'm just telling you my side of the story, but for any of you who are interested, go over to Americablog. John Aravosis has yet to post a followup to one of his most longest thread-generating posts in memory, one in which 2/3 of posters are against him, most in far nastier terms than I used.
And yes, don't forget that Katharine Harris photo thing! He is OUT OF HIS HEAD!!!

You'll get Maxx seriously pissed off.
Maxx is a Maine Coon, though... right? And he's definitely Chinese.
There are obvious physical differences in brown tabs, but you have to get close to 'em to spot 'em, generally (Curly's solid black foot-bottoms, and dark claws, for example). As a rule, they almost all have at least a spot of white under the chin, the "M" mark on the forehead, pink noses, green eyes and dark paw pads.
Of course, their personalities are all extremely varied.

I doubt Curly would stand for that, but I'm sure he's stout enough to support it. He's not quite "mutant farm cat" size, but he's not far from it. He's really grown since I got him, which makes me think he had to be closer to the 1-yr. mark than the 2-yr. mark that the Happy Tails folx estimated...

She's decided that she's going to have reconstructive surgery. It won't help her lymphedema, but she says she feels disfigured wearing a prosthesis.
When she asked about it while scheduling her orginal surgery, she was told, you can have it later.

There are those who treat lymphedema more aggressively; she should seek 'em out when she's ready--if she's happy with her surgeon re reconstruction he/she might be a gateway into a more responsive network of MDs than that to which she's accustomed...I'm happy for her.

Can anybody summarize the Great Ted Splooge Battle Of 2006 for me?
Re rat recipes: between Unmentionable Cuisine (Schwabe) and Lobscouse & Spotted Dog (Grossman & Thomas) looks like I've got about 3 recipes for rat. Not that I'm likely to try any of them. Also half a dozen for sssssnake (including sssnake on a sssskewer).
Re eggplant: Never turned out good when I cooked it. Like it fine when it's done right by someone else (mmmmmm, baba ganoush).

And not far from accurate, either.
I'm really feeling a bit charitable towards ol' Ted -- not for his behavior, obviously, but because it's apparent that he really got his heart stomped, but good. If only he were brave enough to seek out therapy, he'd probably find better things to do with his time than to obsess over what he sees as others' obsessions...

We're talking True Believers, here. And how many of these jackasses actually have pensions, anyway? Pensions are much more common among office workers, professionals, and union labor. None of these is exactly a hotbed of Wingerosity. Especially in Red Amerika, where unions are hardly a force to be reckonned with...

Were there any references to doomtroopers in it? Is there any Doomtrooper backstory we should be apprised of, that would allow us to appreciate some of the subtleties of the film?
(Flipping through index and scholarly apparatus)
Surprisingly, no.
But even the most comprehensive histories are inevitably flawed. I look forward to remedying this defect in my study.

Sallyh: Jeffraham--who among us has not, at one time or another, had his/her heart stomped but good?
True dat. However, Ted's major stomping occurred much later in life, I imagine, and he lacked the coping and social skills to work through his heartache. He's a shy guy, very unsure of himself, married late in life. His short-lived marriage and divorce destroyed him, in a lot of ways. With therapy, he can recover, I hope.

Well not the funniest thing ever, but for at leat the last cupla months.
And Ted most certainly didn 't become Ted after the heart-stomping, and probably deserved it. Fuck him.
They're all delusional anyway, which is their great danger; they believe the royal asshole.

We purchased a reasonable but decent set of speakers which play either my ipod or Thers's laptop. We use them a lot more than the tradional stereo.
Off to dinner, and then Doomtroopers, but as Thers will have the laptop, I won't be liveblogging. I just hope he gives me credit for my jokes.

Also true -- the behavior is inexcusable, obviously. Still, it's this that has spun him into full-blown mental illness, and I hope he finds help before he actually hurts someone, as I fear he will, without help.

Folks who lose their own pensions will be pissed, but the rest would have to be intellectually angered by others' loss, and frankly, that's beyond the troglodytes (unless it's family). Perhaps some Dems could make an effort in that direction, though. To the extent they'll listen to a Dem--which aint much--that might get their attention.
And as the true awfulness of the Medicare drug fiasco sinks in among the familiea of rural retirees, that aint gonna hurt, neither...
