GravatarI'm not sure this movie is entirely historically accurate.

GravatarThis Doomtrooper movie is completely accurate historically, so far. It is a well-known fact that everyone involved in WWII was a shitty B-movie actor speaking retarded dialogue.

GravatarHey, who wants to see the movie my kid is going to be in? Although the website isn't finished and the picture they used of her is not the right one (they will be fixing it later) so she thinks it makes her look fat.

Maybe I shouldn't share.


Gravatar"What a nice man! Boortz apologizes for calling Cynthia McKinney a "ghetto slut".



Boortz looks like a toad.


GravatarWoohoo! We have Doomtrooper!


GravatarSo, nobody's going to make me dinner are they?

I'm too sore to cook. Would you like one of the olives from my martini?


GravatarGWPDA, what happened to the chicken?


GravatarWell, I just finished posting below to remind people that the evil government is stealing an hour of your sleep tonight & that I just got back from seeing "Whale Rider" -- excellent, but if I add it to my top ten list, somethnig else will have to go -- res ipsa, any suggestions?


GravatarOkay, now that's just stupid looking.


GravatarI thought we were all excellent cooks.

Speaking of which, folks might be interested in And They Cook, Too:

"Last year on October 8 an earthquake, measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale, hit Kashmir, the northern part of Pakistan. Being a native Californian, I know that’s no small cheese. Unfortunately, by October 8, 2005, I was tapped out from Katrina giving and could not give to my favorite charity, Doctors Without Borders, also known as Les Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). There was no doubt in my mind that MSF would be on the spot, doctoring in Kashmir, then and even now, and around the world wherever they are needed, as usual.

And so, partly out of guilt, but mostly out of admiration, the plan for this cookbook fundraiser was born. Now, I don’t cook very much and my basic culinary philosophy is "Shake it out of the box and eat it." However, I very much admire people who make an art of cooking and even make it look fun. I also read a lot of blogs, all kinds of blogs from all over the world: political, art, culture, whatever, and I noticed many of these bloggers posting recipes. Sometimes I’d print them out and put them in my very neatly organized, but seldom consulted three-ring Recipes binder. Every now and then I’d think how nice it would be to have all those online recipes in a book format... And an idea began to take shape..."


GravatarOh, I am SO looking forward to this Doomtrooper thing...it's going to be like being locked in a barn in Tillamook!

Only 2 and a half more hours to wait on the west coast!


GravatarI hate white people.

I just want to hear you say "mook" with a French accent.


Gravatarpornography is in the eye of the beholder

Justice Potter Stewart said he couldn't define it but he knew it when he saw it -- apparently based on something he had witnessed while he was in the Navy -- when Justice Harlan was blind & the SCOTUS would watch movies to decide if they were pornographic, a clerk had to watch with him & describe everything that was happening -- I think that probably IS pornographic (Hugo Black just said that the First Amendment meant that there was no porn, so he didn't have to watch all those movies...)


GravatarWell, I heard you were a "joik."

I think a joik is a sort of a song that Laplanders make up to remember someone who has died or moved away. Singing the joik is called joikking.

I've got this really fancy blood and it's in demand for things like brand new babies and people who are really, really sick, so, since I've got it, I share it. I like it being for the tiny babies - did you realise that one ordinary whole blood donation can do a complete blood change for FIVE babies? Neat. I've got a lot of blood relations here in town....

GravatarRed meat and red wine, GWPDA! I'm making beef stew tomorrow, with carrots and onions and a ton of garlic, by I don' think it would travel well. Have you any place local that will deliver?


GravatarSo... there's no plan, but they firmly believe that any problem can be solved by blowing shit up?


Where have I heard this before?


Gravatar´ζ´ ---not incog

are you french?


No, just fooling with one-line ascii art today.


GravatarHere in Arlington, we have this thing called TakeOut Taxi.

Pittsburgh has Wheel Deliver. But that probably doesn't help.

Gravatar"No walk in the park" is a French expression?

No, but "neow wahk en zee pak" is, if you sneer enough.


GravatarI'm making beef stew tomorrow, with carrots and onions and a ton of garlic,

Mom,

Can I eat at Ahianne's house tomorrow night? Her mom says it's ok! Please?


GravatarHi folks, I'm back. I was so far south in NJ that the Garden State Parkway had traffic lights.


GravatarPittsburgh has Wheel Deliver. But that probably doesn't help.

We do?


GravatarThis just in from AP:
James Dobson of Focus on the Family reported today that ha had converted to Druidism, following a retreat in the mountains near Buena Vista. He reported sitting under an aspen when he heard the following:
I HAVE been in a multitude of shapes,
Before I assumed a consistent form.
I have been a sword, narrow, variegated,
I will believe when it is apparent.
I have been a tear in the air,
I have been the dullest of stars.
I have been a word among letters,
I have been a book in the origin.
I have been the light of lanterns,
A year and a half.
Dobson reported that "I became very excited thinking the Great God Jehovah was talking to me". He saw a feminine shape appear in one of the aspens and thought "Wait, I am not one of those Mary worshiping Papists."
He reported that he heard the apparition say "My name is Ceridwen" . Dobson then said " Karen? Karen Hughes?"
"No I am Ceridwen great Goddess of the Welsh, You have persecuted and scorned my children". Dobson then reported a great stag brought him to a grove where the Moon was shimmering its light".
"Ever since that evening, my abdominal pains have gone away. I decided that we will be holding Beltaine at The Focus on the Family Center in Colorado Springs"


GravatarHeavens! So many bad fake accents!

GravatarHecate --

Rumpole of the Bailey is wonderful -- an oblate of ours who is a lawyer used to send me all the books -- & Leo McKern (God rest his soul!) was BEYOND PERFECT!

Sure. I'll see if I have an old catalogue/menu/publication/whatever.

GravatarLeo McKern was that rare actor who took a role and made it irretrievably his own. His Rumpole was as good as I've seen..

I just had a lovely Italian dinner. And I converted at least three people. it isn't hard to do these days.


Gravatarsallyh....jeffy and curly didnt get my big surprise...im so sorry,sent it more than aweek ago 55lbs of goodies w/recipes


Gravatarsallyh: yup: she scarfed down some mussels marinara. Tomorrow looks like a stinker, sadly. Five more weeks of this crap. It's getting old; I want my girl back.

Meanwhile, walking the dog, keeping the Wombettes busy, beautiful weather. A bit of good news is that my concentration is coming back so I can read a dumb book...


GravatarIncog--I have some in the crockpot for Monsieur to eat at his leisure while I'm away this week. Loaded with carrots, potatoes, celery, pearl onions, allspice, red wine, celery seed and mushroom gravy.


GravatarAnd the last two episodes of The Prisoner...

Which weren't at all confusing.

GravatarProfWombat--is she going to have to be on tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor after treatment?


GravatarSo does everyone think they'll remember to set their clocks tonoght?

Most of mine will remember to set themselves, which in turn will remind me.


GravatarAhianne--I'd better. I have a flight to SLC at 9 a.m.


GravatarSo does everyone think they'll remember to set their clocks tonoght?

Already did. Hey, I was bored.

GravatarGoodnight, you glorious, glowing Moonbats.

Tonight, while you sleep, I hope that the brownies clean your house, the spider spings a protective web in your corner, and the moonbeams paint magic on your floor. Tomorrow, I hope that you wake up rested, drink strong coffee, and do something wonderful for someone that you love.

For You Who Sleep Tonight

All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above -

Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.

Monsieur has got it made, non?


Gravatarsallyh: tamoxifen, then an aromatase inhibitor. She's strongly ER/PR +, thank whomever. Her oncologist, a very bright and quite sympathetic woman, calculated for us her prognosis and showed that it was excellent even were cytotoxic chemo foregone, maybe a 5% difference when added to the endocrine drugs, and therefore that, were chemo poorly tolerated, she'd not be completely averse to bagging it entirely. Never met an oncologist so flexible; a good person to have in your corner.


GravatarYou get sties in your eyelids if you look at someone else's butt. Everybody knows that.

Now that explains everything. I. Did. Not. Know.

GravatarGoodnight, Hecate.


GravatarI need a new crockpot. My last one fell apart. I love cooking with those things and how nice the aroma is while it's cooking.


GravatarThat was a great order -- "get up on that mountain!"

OK...

salesman was driving down a county road and saw this farmer holding a pig up to an apple tree so's the pig could eat the apples.

hung a u-ey and came back to the farm, hopped out of the car and walked over to the fence. asked the farmer,"Wouldn't it be quicker to just shake the tree & let the pig eat apples off the ground?"

farmer said, "yeah- but what's time to a pig?"


Gravatarwish I could use a crockpot. Mother In Law (ex) served some rabbit stew out of one about 24 yrs ago, I stil get sick if I smell anything being cooked in one.

Well, then, please consider me in your plans. We're 2.5 hours from Chicago. Nim, Prior, Chi Dyke, DWD, moi...we're all here for you.


GravatarThat the Nazis were utterly evil has distorted people's view of war ever since. All the myths about war, through the ages, since distorted by our ability to stop Hitler. No shortage of horror even in the 'good war', of course; even Curtis LeMay conceded he'd have been a war criminal had the wrong side won...


GravatarTO THOSE STILL HELD.


GravatarOh god DAMN, Dipshit... now you went and reminded that I saw Glenn Reynold's mug on some kind of Tennessee Business magazine.

Now I have to drink or something to erase that image.

Wait - I checked - it wasn't Reynolds but you reminded me he exists and he's in my state. Still need that drink.


GravatarCurtis LeMay was talking about Vietnam, IIRC


GravatarProfWombat--you're very fortunate to have a sympathetic oncologist. THE worst person I ever did clinical trial analysis for was a pediatric oncologist. Capable, but the hatred the kids and their parents for him knew no bounds. He was finally asked to leave.

Japan.

GravatarHere's a hint. When you see the enemy sniper, just shoot him right away.


Gravatarsallyh: Mrs Dr W did a rotation on pedi onc. at Sloan-Kettering; most of the folks she met there were OK. I knew a couple of pedi surgeons who were so wrapped up in themselves that they really didn't care much about anything other than the success or failure of their procedures. They were world-class in what they did; ran departments and held chiefships and like that. They'll be remembered for extraordinary expertise, but at a price. Sad, really, when it's so gratuitous...

You think you got it bad...

Remember that old visual joke--Laugh-in?--where the clocks on the wall said New York 4:00...London 9:00...Paris 10:00...Warsaw 11:15?


GravatarThat was a touching scene. If I knew who the hell any of these people were, it would be even more moving.


GravatarProfWombat--this ped onc would tell his patients that his focus was their illness and not them. He said there was no point in worrying about people's reactions to their treatment at the emotional level; it was not his problem. And he particularly hated his teenaged patients, who at times would call him (rightly) an asshole.


GravatarLeMay was talking about the firebombing of the Japanese mainland during World War II. 'Bomber' Harris in the UK was another entirely malign figure; Freeman Dyson, the great physicist, worked during WW II in Bomber Command and has written about it with extraordinary circumspection...


GravatarHere's a hint. When you see the enemy sniper, just shoot him right away.

Extra added bonus hint: to the people who say "Then there wouldn't be a movie," you say, "Then there shouldn't be a movie."


GravatarThat was a touching scene. If I knew who the hell any of these people were, it would be even more moving.

He wasn't even dead. He was just *impersonating* being dead.


GravatarI came in in the middle of an astoundingly bad SciFi flick?

Have been watching my beloved Numero Dos play Sonic the Hedgehog with a bizarre XM station for sound all evening. Incredibly entertaining.


GravatarThet shot the annoying guy with the unconvincing accent! Oh no!


GravatarCareful--kill too many brain cells and you'll be only five times smarter than the lesser perfesser.

I'm kind of insulted. Five? That's all I get? A turnip is five times smarter than that guy.

I could stand his stupidity if he'd just drop the smugness, the self-righteousness or even the pretense that he's not a Republican. Well, no - I couldn't. But it might help.


Gravatarwow, i just watched russert for 5 minutes making the case to franken that bush and cheney never tried to link al qaeda to hussein.

what a bush ass cock licker.


Gravatarsallyh: guy's in the wrong line of work. Remarkable. Why would he choose to do what he did? He could have been, say, a CEO and shut down a town's only source of decent jobs, and been celebrated for it...

Gravatar"I don't speak Joiman."


GravatarI don't speak Goiman!


.


GravatarMy mistake, Prof. I only recalled LeMay's role in Vietnam.


GravatarProfWombat--he had extraordinarily good results, and innovative protocols. Also a talented researcher which, from what I understand, he is today. He can redeem himself that way; I suspect he'll do good things. But he should never, never have attempted to be a clinician.


Gravatar"You bloody jerries!"

Good one.


GravatarThose Nazis are rats!

Gravatar"I'm ready to accept your surrender if the one responsible for shooting me in the bum steps forward and apologizes."

GravatarIt's about time somebody slaughtered the cast.


.


GravatarI take it I've missed most of der Stormtroupers?


GravatarWatertiger--you haven't missed a damn thing.


GravatarNow, when the Nazi was drawing a bead on Digger, why did Parker Lewis keep saying, "Um... Digger?" instead of just shooting the Nazi?


GravatarWasn't there a Doomtrooper in this movie?

I think the SFX budget ran out. It was only $53.00 to start with.


.


Gravatarsallyh: yup. A guy like that can find productive work and make his contribution. It's just a shame that he wound up in situations where people depended on him for more than mere expertise, and found the well so dry...


GravatarI'm kind of insulted. Five?

No no no--you do have to kill a lot of brain cells to get down to five. I just like to err on the side of caution. I regret the appearance of giving insult.

i just watched russert for 5 minutes making the case to franken that bush and cheney never tried to link al qaeda to hussein.

Gravatarwho is this Louis and why does he talk like one of the Bowery Boys?

.


GravatarWait, it's immune to bullets but not edged weapons?

GravatarHe can hotwyuh anyting, even when he's gutshot, and his dad makes baygullz.


GravatarOne of the worst excuses for a human being ever to call himself an American.

Not to mention disobeying orders and *trying* to start a nuclear war with the USSR.


.


GravatarFuck Curtis LeMay and his running mate, George Wallace!


GravatarLeMay was talking about the firebombing of the Japanese mainland during World War II.

Yup. The firebombing of Tokyo killed more people (about 100,000) than the atomic bomb at Hiroshima.


GravatarCurtis Le May was the most hated US general in WWII....by his own men.


GravatarSo Doomtrooper has gone critical?


.


GravatarWow. I can safely say I have no fucking idea what's going on.


GravatarDigger is apparently almost as impervious to bullets as Doomtrooper...


GravatarI thaut ze Fwench cheek wass ded.

Gravatar...And explosions, as was established at the beginning.


GravatarWell, they got right the historical fact that Nazis always yelled "jiyah!" when you shot them.


GravatarWow. I can safely say I have no fucking idea what's going on.

Neither can we and we've been watching since the beginning.


.


GravatarKarin: LeMay wasn't any prettier in Vietnam; he would talk of bombing them back to the stone age.

As I recall, Kennedy had to keep him on a very short leash during the Cuban missile crisis because he was itching to start WW III. He was an inspiration for General Ripper in Dr. Strangelove.


GravatarUnitedNegroEmerates™; did you see the Oz time zone map? 1 1/2 hrs difference between adjacent zones. Is there anywhere else that does that?


GravatarWow. I can safely say I have no fucking idea what's going on.

Doomtrooper bad. Nazis bad.

'Merkans good. French Resistance good... but rude.


GravatarFrench Resistance good... but rude.

And smelly...but that's only implied.

GravatarDoomtrooper had no desire to be in this film, apparently. He must have a kickass agent.


Gravatar40,000 died in the firebombing of Hamburg. And ironically, they were not supporters of Hitler, always voted leftist.

GravatarMust be wearing an Atreades force field.

I don't think so. Sword wasn't slow enough.

SS Doomtrooper, on Sci-Fi.

"After grilling Bush, Helen Thomas gets thousands of flowers
By Albert Eisele

The roses kept coming - and coming - and coming - to the Hearst Newspapers office in downtown Washington on Thursday, until they filled a large conference room to overflowing.

By the time the Federal Express delivery was complete, there were 108 dozen roses, nearly 1,300 in every color. They were the result of an e-mail campaign to show support for Hearst columnist Helen Thomas after she grilled President Bush about his Iraq policy at last week's White House news conference."

GravatarGovernment in secret talks about strike against Iran
By Sean Rayment, Defence Correspondent
(Filed: 02/04/2006)

The Government is to hold secret talks with defence chiefs tomorrow to discuss possible military strikes against Iran.

A high-level meeting will take place in the Ministry of Defence at which senior defence chiefs and government officials will consider the consequences of an attack on Iran.

Do they have colorful names, like Latrine, Chocolate Mousse and Deja Vu?


GravatarCheck out the fear mongering WaPo front page headline:
Experts Say Iran May Use Terror If Attacked
As tensions increase between the United States and Iran, U.S. intelligence and terrorism experts say they believe Iran would respond to U.S. military strikes on its nuclear sites by deploying its intelligence operatives and Hezbollah teams to carry out terrorist attacks worldwide.

GravatarKarin: the Hamburg bombing resulted in a firestorm, which explained the huge number of dead. The Bomber Command noted this, and tried to reproduce it, hence Dresden...

GravatarGovernment in secret talks about strike against Iran
By Sean Rayment, Defence Correspondent


"The United States government is hopeful that the military operation will be a multinational mission, but defence chiefs believe that the Bush administration is prepared to launch the attack on its own or with the assistance of Israel, if there is little international support."

Yeah, that's going to win the hearts and minds of the people in the Middle East.

Homer Simpson hit the big screen on Friday in a short teaser trailer announcing “The Simpsons” movie.

The “Simpsons” teaser debuted prior to the opening of 20th Century Fox’s latest animated film “Ice Age: The Meltdown.” The clip announces Fox’s July 27, 2007 release date for “The Simpsons” movie.

The animated 25-second clip opens on a giant superhero S. “Leaping his way onto the silver screen,” intones a narrator, “the greatest hero in American history!” Cut to Homer Simpson sitting on his couch in his tighty whities. “I forgot what I was supposed to say,” he says. The narrator continues, “ ’The Simpsons Movie,’ coming to the screen, July 27, 2007.” “Uh, uh,” says Homer, “we better get started.”

Gravatarthe The Gospel of Judas,

From your link...

The Roman Catholic Church limited the recognised gospels to the four in 325, under the guidance of the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine.

Thirty other texts - some of which have been uncovered - were sidelined because "they were difficult to reconcile with what Constantine wanted as a political doctrine," according to Roberty.

I do not labor under the fantasy that those presently convinced of Domenech's enduring racism will be swayed by this mere recounting of facts. They are a hateful crowd, spurred on by an embittered loathing and paranoia that Domenech inflamed, but did not create. But I am hopeful that people not yet convinced either way might consider the man's public record with more honesty than his enemies bring to the square. It is enough that he is revealed as a plagiarist--

GravatarI guess the Da Vinci Codists calumnies about the Catholic Church and Constantinean authorship of the cannon are credible if you pretend St Irenaus didn't exist a hundred and fifty years earlier. Hint: The Gaulic Bishop coined the term "four-fold" gospel...as in Matt, Luke, John and Mark. Think of the Catholics back then as being like Protestants are now...splintered into thousands of fractured sects, pumping out psuedo-epigraphical letters and yes, gospels like Magdalene and Judas and (curiously omitted, since you think Catholics would kill for a Petrine Gospel...the Gospel of Peter)to stake a least a local claim to provenance.

Still and all, I feel more sorry for anyone that's been in your presence than I do for you and your lame-ass fantasy of a life.

No, we leave that to the experts who also are afraid to enlist to fight the enemy in Iraq, which includes every troll who visits, not to mention the entire Bush administration, all fat, lazy cowards who inherited their wealth and "power", but who haven't the balls or patriotism to defend their country against the enemies they created. The willing followers of that crew of incompetent chickenshits are in the wrong country and are attacking the very people who would welcome them as fellow travelers. Extra-double stupid.


GravatarI'm just so happy that we're sympatico on the "Because it's LAME!" commercial, although we have some Burger King issues we still need to work through.

I had to Google that... the answer shocked me - I'd forgotten all about that movie!

Some things are just wrong.

James Jesus Rimbaud


I blame Tom Hanks. Damascus Gate really would make a great movie... Hallie Berry as the jazz singer chick, maybe? That'd be good box office.

Outerbridge Reach would be good, too. But I think Stone's probably poison to Hollywood by now.

Anyway, Stone's first novel was "A Hall of Mirrors" and it was made into a truly weird movie called "WUSA" starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

...and now back to this evening's Creature Feature.

My wife loves that ad. She just starts laughing uncontrollably whenever it comes on...

i don't know about any early christian history, but when the wingnuts hear about the book of judas they will whine like babies. and of course it's of no consequence, just say'n.

and yeah, the repukes keep winning because they pander to the lowest common denominator. not exactly the party i'd think an intelligent person would want to be associated with. but some just wanna be on the side that's winning. i don't see it.

GravatarThe reimagined iconic Burger King is symptomatic of Amerika's dysfunction. Clearly the king is old, but the stretched skin and rictus of a smile clearly bespeak a man who has undergone mulitple botoxes and facelifts.

GravatarCondi Rice in U.K. Flunks Reporter's 'Sgt. Pepper' Test

By E&P Staff

Published: April 01, 2006 1:30 PM ET

NEW YORK Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's goodwill trip to England has been met with protests at nearly every stop, and she had to explain Saturday that when she said that the U.S. had made "thousands" of mistakes in Iraq she meant figuratively, not literally. But, at least in some eyes, the trip hit rock bottom when she failed to get a famous Beatles reference--even after she'd visited their hometown of Liverpool.

Suddenly the trip turned into a "Magical Mystery Tour."

Rice, a classically trained pianist and student of the great composers, has said she is a Beatles fan. But she looked blank during a stopover in British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw's hometown of Blackburn, when a British reporter refered to the "4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire."

GravatarI watched "Skeleton Key" last night. When Kate Hudson's character was looking at a picture of her and her father it was very plain that the photo of her as a child was not actually Kate.

God knows there are tons of photos of Kate at that age. Why not use one of her? Does the girl that played Kate Hudson as a child in an old photo get any royalties even though it wasn't a speaking role?

I've seen it done otherwise, what is the factor in the decision?

GravatarQ- If Bush is impeached, wouldn't Cheney become president? He'd be worse.

A- John Conyers' HR 635, 636, 637 call for censure of Bush and Cheney both, and investigation into impeachable offenses of both men. Cheney will not survive an impeachment inquiry.

Q- Who is next in line? Wouldn't it be Hastert, Republican Speaker of the House?

A- Yes, right now, but if we elect an impeaching Congress, then the new Speaker will probably be a progressive Democrat. The most senior Democrat is John Conyers.

Keeping It Secret as the Family Car Becomes a Home
By IAN URBINA
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/ 0...agewanted=print
FAIRFAX, Va. — After being evicted from his apartment last year, Larry Chaney lived in his car for five months in Erie, Pa. As he passed the time at local cafes, he always put a ring of old house keys and several envelopes with bills on the table to give the impression that he had a home like everyone else.

While Michelle Kennedy was living in her car with her three children in Belfast, Me., she parked someplace different each night so no one would notice them, and she instructed the children to tell anyone who asked that they were "staying with friends."

I once had a friend who made himself a genuine chainmail shirt and authentic steel medieval breastplate. He was really proud of himself, put it on, stayed up late, and fell asleep watching Letterman. He woke up at like 4 in the morning, and realized it all weighed too much and he couldn't get off the couch. So he had to yell for his mom.

The most amazing thing is that he admitted all this, thinking it was funny, as indeed it is.

Okay. They're from the South, where "squll" (trust me, that's how they pronounce it) is considered fairly edible, and I suppose it is, if you are hungry enough.

Believe me, I'm not making fun. Meat is meat. I'd personally rather eat squirrel than worms, or at least I think so.

Having fed and befriended squirrels for several yrs now, I could not kill the ones I know, and I doubt I could kill the ones I don't know.

Maybe worms don't look too bad to me now. Or...maybe I could start growing soybeans, raise chickens for eggs, and get a goat for milk/cheese. There are other sources of protein.

As a murder weapon, though, not sure what I could use.....probably have to be bare hands, which should really be the only acceptable thing, anyway.

Civilians in Iraq Flee Mixed Areas as Killings Rise

By EDWARD WONG and KIRK SEMPLE
BAGHDAD, Iraq, April 1 — The war in Iraq has entered a bloodier phase, with American casualties steadily declining over the past five months while the killings of Iraqi civilians have risen tremendously in sectarian violence, spurring tens of thousands of Iraqis to flee from mixed Shiite-Sunni areas.

The new pattern, detailed in casualty and migration statistics and in interviews with American commanders and Iraqi officials, has led to further separation of Shiite and Sunni Arabs, moving the country toward a de facto partitioning along sectarian and ethnic lines — an outcome that the Bush administration has doggedly worked to avoid over the past three years.


GravatarOkay, that's a new one to me.

I got that one from a faux soprano. Helluva funny lady.

GravatarI went to a similiar sort of store in Chicago once - not that I remember the name of it. It had vast old cabinets with hundreds of drawers, each filled with toys and..what you call it..novelties. I bought a Nunzilla sort of thing there for a friend who went to a Catholic school - I thought she was gonna pass out with joy.

It's got to be worth a pilgrimage to Seattle, and the vibe seems perfect.

Besides - it's a terrific city for a visit. It was just so damn mellow there it made me pine for rednecks.


GravatarThink I better hang it up.

Night, moonbats.

But let me know if there's any shooting in the face to be done.

I think it is. One thing I noticed in that part of the city, was that many of the street musicans who played around there were actually good.

GravatarI play organ for an Episcopalian church too. Love this particular one:

The organ is the instrument of worship for in its sounding we sense the Majesty of God and in its ending we know the Grace of God.


True story: The best compliment I ever received was this past summer. I accompanied the Charleston Symphony chamber chorus in Mozart's Coronation Mass for a High Anglican church in town. I'd been playing for a small Presbyterian church regularly. At the end of the Mass, one of the deacons shook my hand and said: "You are wasted on the Presbyterians."

GravatarTroops Armor Up With Bulletproof Glass
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/ ...agewanted=print
Filed at 11:57 p.m. ET
RAMADI, Iraq (AP) -- The 21-year-old gunner was standing atop the turret of a Humvee called Frankenstein's Monster when the bomb exploded on the ground beside him, sending a wave of sizzling shrapnel and ball-bearings toward his head.

Knocked down inside his vehicle by the blast, Spc. Richard Sugai regained consciousness minutes later and realized he was lucky to be alive. His savior: a glass cocoon of 2-inch thick bulletproof windshields he had welded around the top of his turret three days earlier.

Troops mockingly call the modification ''Pope Glass'' because it brings to mind the ballistic-proof glass box the late Pope John Paul II traveled in after being wounded in a 1981 assassination attempt.

GravatarSupposedly Jascha Heifetz proposed that he be given top billing, above pianist Artur Rubinstein and cellist Gregor Piatigorsky in the fabled "Million Dollar Trio".

Tradition dictates that such trios are called by the pianist's name first, then the violinist, then the cellist.

"Jascha," Rubinstein told Heifetz, "if you were God, the trio would be called Rubinstein/God/Piatigorsky."


Gravatar"You are wasted on the Presbyterians."

My 86 year old mother is the child of a Methodist minister and she's still very competitive about other faiths. She would love that story.


GravatarDid they then tell you to get drunk, chop off a finger, and torture the Catholics?

No one has to tell me to get drunk.

As for torturing Catholics, well, I went through 12 years of their school system , so I'm rather conflicted on that count.

I used to play for the Methodists too, some 10 years ago. My take on them at the time is that they couldn't decide if they were Lutherans or Baptists.


GravatarI took one of my nephews to a Detroit Symphony Young Peoples Concert last weekend. The theme was mechanical devices, and they brought one of the percussionists forward to play a typewriter for one of the pieces. First they had to explain to all the kids what a typewriter was!

Why Catholic music in the States is so awful is a mystery. But man was the organ a painful thing when I was growing up.


GravatarSee you guys from Utah tomorrow night. I hope Snowbird sells liquor.


GravatarWhy Catholic music in the States is so awful is a mystery. But man was the organ a painful thing when I was growing up.

Listen to Pipe Dreams on NPR. Good organists are truly a godsend. As for Catholic music in the states, I have no defense. I've played some of that awful guitar crap. Centuries of transcendent chant and polyphony out the window like so much bathwater. Part of what's drawn me to the Episcopalians is that wonderful, wonderful Anglican music. If ever an atheist were eligible for canonization, Vaughan Williams would get my vote.


GravatarMy take on them at the time is that they couldn't decide if they were Lutherans or Baptists.

I haven't been a regular church-goer in decades but they can be pretty conflicted, themselves. Which I like, actually.

I happened to attend a very large Methodist church in a very conservative suburb one Sunday on the very day the wingnuts were gathered across town for that "Justice Sunday" nonsense. The minister worked in a comment during his sermon that he believed the government had its place, the church had its place and he didn't want them mixed.

I damn near cheered out loud.


GravatarI love to sing (I make no claims about the quality), so I was always a bit of an anomoly at Mass.

I went 8 yrs. to Catholic school, then to "pagan" high school. I discovered that the nuns weren't any weirder than my HS lay teachers - and that was at the honors high school.

Sometimes I miss the days when I was smart. [sigh]


GravatarThe Methodists live in the wilderness. I like Methodists. Hell, if it weren't for the Methodists, Owen probably wouldn't have practiced "The Shot" so much.


GravatarI haven't been a regular church-goer in decades but they can be pretty conflicted, themselves. Which I like, actually.

I was watching a really fascinating PBS doco on the Appalachians that I'd Tivo'd. I guess the deal with Wesley and the Methodists is that they reacted against the harsh predeterminism of the Calvinist Baptists and Presbyterians. I guess I'd never realized that before.

Gravatar I love to sing (I make no claims about the quality), so I was always a bit of an anomoly at Mass.

The Catholic church where I spent my formative years was an anomoly in that the entire congregation sang with enthusiasm and without apology. I gained an early appreciation for hymnody through that church.


GravatarI guess the deal with Wesley and the Methodists is that they reacted against the harsh predeterminism of the Calvinist Baptists and Presbyterians. I guess I'd never realized that before.

It's been about....40 years, probably since I studied all that. I considered attending a class in Methodist history and comparative religions - just didn't get around to it. "Sociology of Religion" was my favorite course in college so I'd probably enjoy it.

My great-great-grandfather, grandfather and uncle are/were all ministers. I've known so many incredible Methodist preachers - I just can't get het up for attending church. But we have great conversations and they're kind enough put up with pestering questions.


GravatarHymnody kinda killed this. Is that a sort of vibratory oooommmmmmm?


GravatarHymnody kinda killed this. Is that a sort of vibratory oooommmmmmm?

GravatarCenturies of transcendent chant and polyphony out the window like so much bathwater

It really is inexplicable. I haven't studied the issue so I'm only guessing. But... the American Catholic Church was organized along lines laid down by the Irish church. Diocesan lines to this day reflect Irish immigration patterns more than anything else. Now, the Irish church was not unmusical, but was also extremely conservative. The need to maintain very strict hierarchies resulted in an unwillingness to maintain any other criteria besides obedience...

So American church music went stale by the 1930s and stayed that way.

Just guessing, but I bet I'm right.

Gravatar"The steadily worsening situation in southern Afghanistan is not the work of some ineffable Al Qaeda nebula. It is the result of the real depredations of the corrupt and predatory government officials whom the United States ushered into power in 2001, supposedly to help fight Al Qaeda, and has assiduously maintained in power since, along with an "insurgency" manufactured whole cloth across the border in Pakistan--a U.S. ally. The evidence of this connection is abundant: Taliban leaders strut openly around Quetta, Pakistan, where they are provided with offices and government-issued weapons authorization cards; Pakistani army officers are detailed to Taliban training camps; and Pakistani border guards constantly wave self-proclaimed Taliban through checkpoints into Afghanistan.

But beleaguered Afghans have a hard time getting U.S. political and military officials to focus on these two factors, which feed on each other. U.S. personnel cling to the fictions that Afghans are responsible for the local officials who rule over them--despite the overwhelming moral and material support the United States has provided these officials--and that the Pakistani government is cooperating in the war on terror. And so the Afghan villagers, frightened, vulnerable, and disillusioned, are obliged to come to terms with the "fairies who come at night."
This state of affairs is so bewildering that Kandaharis have reached an astonishing conclusion: The United States must be in league with the Taliban. They reason that America, with its power and riches, could bring an end to the "insurgency" in a month, if it so chose. They figure that America remains a close and munificent ally of Pakistan, the country that is sponsoring the "insurgency," and so the continuing violence must be a deliberate element of U.S. policy. The point is not whether there is any factual basis for this notion, it's that everyone here believes it. In other words, in a stunning irony, much of this city, the Taliban's former stronghold, is disgusted with the Americans not because of their Western culture, but because of their apparent complicity with Islamist extremists.

GravatarAttacking Iran May Trigger Terrorism
U.S. Experts Wary of Military Action Over Nuclear Program
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ wp...6040100981.html

As tensions increase between the United States and Iran, U.S. intelligence and terrorism experts say they believe Iran would respond to U.S. military strikes on its nuclear sites by deploying its intelligence operatives and Hezbollah teams to carry out terrorist attacks worldwide.

Iran would mount attacks against U.S. targets inside Iraq, where Iranian intelligence agents are already plentiful, predicted these experts. There is also a growing consensus that Iran's agents would target civilians in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, they said...

But terrorism experts considered Iranian-backed or controlled groups -- namely the country's Ministry of Intelligence and Security operatives, its Revolutionary Guards and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah -- to be better organized, trained and equipped than the al-Qaeda network that carried out the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

That I am mad at the church, but whatever ties I still have to it owe solely to the few priests I remember who were kind. These were two. They listened and were there for my family and did not judge at difficult times.

These two outnumber for me the dozens who tried to make me and mine listen to them, and damn the lot else.

The American Catholic leadership needs to decide if their mission is to serve or to lead. If they choose to lead, they will be obsolete in 15 years. If they choose to serve, and learn how, they will do good. Period.
