i love Gogol Bordello, its crazy music
downloaded their album, certainly fast and furious.
There's a small, dapper man named Ahmed, the ratter from Truly Nolen, in my house. He opened the cupboard beneath the sink where the bait trap had been placed and said "Oh!"
I have removed myself from the area.
Hallelujah.

I know i'm exhausted after listening to Gogol Bordello's latest album Gipsy Punks: Underdog World Strike.
Liberal heathen, going to see those dirty rock and roll bands with their sexually explicit lyrics and revealing costumes!
I haven't thought of Truly Nolen for years! GWPDA, you keep me thinking, and smiling!
Moon - I love Gogol too. I downloaded a bunch of their stuff. Wish they were coming here, dammit.
That reminds me: I forgot to see Gogol Bordello on Thursday. D'oh!
What a lame name.
GWPDA - sounds like a really good time to go out for a coffee.
Danish Muslims granted burial ground
Muslim leaders have praised a government decision to allow Denmark's first Muslim cemetery after seven years of struggle.
Kasem Said Ahmad, chairman of the Danish Islamic Burial Foundation, said: "We are pleased, happy. It is an expression that Islam and Muslims are a part of Danish society."
The Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs approved construction of the burial site on 50,000 sq m (540,000 sq ft) of land the foundation bought in southern Copenhagen several years ago.
Denmark's centre-right government under Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the prime minister, has been accused of religious intolerance, partly because of a crackdown on immigration. One of the main areas of contention with the Muslim community has been the lack of a Muslim cemetery.
Last night on Charlie Rose, Jay Carney stated that BushCo reacted to Wilson's op-ed which "implied" that Cheney had ordered Wilson to Niger to check on yellow cake sales intel.
No correction from either the NYTimes guy or Judy Woodruff.

Actually, I'm glad my handbag is in this side of the house and not on the side I've got Arthur contained in, because I'm contemplating driving to oh, say, Albuquerque, for the afternoon.

I'm listening to the band Radio 4 right now...
Anyone in any of these towns, I highly recommend This Band
All I can really say is that once you hit 104, you've pretty much already dealt with most permutations of really horrible things. Armed with a strong pair of rubber gloves and a bottle of bleach, life can continue. And whiskey too.

Vicki - well, dith's homepage is unique.
I think he thinks he's on a mission from God, but it's a better mission than most, so I don't mind too much. I just don't like getting Dylan quoted at me like I've never heard him before. I daresay I was memorizing his lyrics and the liner notes on his albums before dith was even born.
Dance, Bum rush the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it, You better gain way
You better hit bull's eye, The kid don't play
If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
the only other album I downloaded and added to my Creative Zen was Morrissey's latest Ringleader of the Tormentors my hairdresser recommended it.

We're enjoying pulling out some old & unfamiliar music on this rainy day.
So far: some bootleg McCartney & Costello acoustic; some bootleg Fleetwood Mac; an old Neil Young & Crazy Horse album from '96 I listened to maybe twice before putting it away; and now an old favorite of Mrs. Gummo's, Julian Cope.
Good times.

Just a quick drive by, but Olaf will be here in Austin next weekend. If any of you Texans want to meet up for Dinner next Saturday email me at supremeirony at gmail dot com and I will get you the details once we nail things down.
If you know of any other Texas Atriots who would like to meet up, but aren't here today pass the word.
I'll catch you all later.
Tena,
dith is a mystery to me, but I don't mind him at all. He's not harsh and obnoxious, really. Although I agree with you about Dylan!

It's true. Most things that were once catrosphes become annoyances. Of course, I'm not nearly as old as Mom here.
That new Chicks song should be the anthem at any and all protests, demonstrations, etc. It's marvelous.
You should go see Bardo Pond the next night at the Khyber, too. They're awesome. Nearly upstaged Sonic Youth at the Troc when I saw them four years ago.
Now that the party is jumpin'
With the bass kicked in, the Vegas are pumpin'
Quick to the point, to the point no faking
I'm cooking MCs like a pound of bacon
Burning them if they're not quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi hat with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
Rollin' in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby, Waving just to say Hi
Did you stop? No -- I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead

Thanks, dith; that was lovely.

i remember after hurricane charley rats, and squirrels inhabited the attic. the trapper set lethal traps for the rats, hava harts for the squirrels. i wondered how that was going to work out.

Wealth, by the sentiments of servility and dependence it produces, makes the rich man stand forward as the principal object of general esteem and deference. In vain are sobriety, integrity and industry, in vain the sublimest powers of mind, and the most ardent benevolence, if their possessor be narrow in his circumstances.

I saw Gogol Bordello in Seattle about 2 weeks ago. Now I can't even listen to the CD anymore (which I liked previously). Their live show is so much better than their recorded stuff that it almost makes the CD unlistenable.
...oh, and the new one from the Chicks isn't out for 7 weeks and it's #28 at Amazon...
Pffft! It'll never sell in Peoria...
Well, that pile of work isn't going to do itself. I'll be back later, which I realize is deeply thrilling news.

Recommendation: come up with something less lame than "Thrilladelphia" for the festival.
I know. I know.
Coming up with a phrase to suggest the combination of "excitement" and "Philadelphia" is like coming up with a phrase that suggests a combination of "elegant" and "Jenna Bush."
I'm sure the festival will vastly outperform the name. Start a second American Revolution. Enjoy.

Being egalitarian has nothing to do with enjoying a particular lifestyle. Recall that the promise of America is "pursuit of happiness", not a guarantee of any particular level of personal wealth or other definition of happiness. It's about opportunity.
So we can work to improve the opportunities for people, but don't have to give up talking about wine and travel. We want to raise all boats, not sink them.

"What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."
My great-uncle anonymously put three people through college. I don't know what color they were, but I do know that he sent the money and they only found out after he died, because I told them.

Nice day in river city, and Dick DeVos already has goons running around the neighborhood trying to drum up support for his gubernatorial race against Granholm.
They knocked on my door. I kept 'em waiting for a minute while I got my cell phone, flipped it open and walked back to the door. Then I said into the phone, in front of the boys, "Governor Granholm's campaign headquarters? I just want to make sure that you have me down for a big yard sign and for volunteering..."
And I shut the door. I know, call me a bitch, but today is not a day to fuck with me.

What happened to the prototype Yankee abroad, the one who refuses to kowtow to anyone, the one who says that this is not how we do things in the old U S of A?

Eschaton is a place for whiny, powerless liberals to congregate and put down other people for all the qualities they deny about themselves.
If they actually got their shit together, felt good about themselves, and actually DID something about the problems of the world, they wouldn't come here. If they weren't afraid of being honest with themselves, they wouldn't come here.
You know it's fucking true.

Get your story straight, fool. We members of the elite wouldn't deign to enter a Sizzler. Those are for people like you.

he wasn't out of the loop at all. no wonder poppy hearts clinton. bill could have sought his prosecution but allowed bush senior to skate free.
you know how we keep hearing fitzgerald investigation is taking longer than nixon's watergate? but the iran-contra investigation took 7 long years.

Sizzler is cafeteria-style? You mean like Morrison's? My grandmother loved Morrison's. I hated it though because you would inevitably fill up your tray on the entrees and then when you got to the dessert section there would be no more room. It's at that point where you go "why oh why did I think I needed meatloaf AND fish? And then on the way to your table you spill your Coke all over your food because you picked the large plastic glass and filled it all teh way to the top.

There is NEVER going to be equality of outcome
No, but that's what policy should work towards.
Equality of opportunity is a dangerous equivocation that calls forth 'bell curves'.
Wrong again. Policy should be about opportunity. Period. I give people the opportunity to have healthcare, to work for a living wage, etc. Policy is not about making sure people are always healthy and rich.
You might also look up "equivocation". It doesn't mean what you think it means. Nor does it call forth bell curves. Nice slippery slope and red herrings, though.

Oh, so you offer a retraction from your insinuation?

Listen, I'm an historian. Not only have I had to live thru the catastrophes and hysterics of my own lifetime, I've got like a hundred and fifty years accumulated nexthand experience in everybody elses.
Repetitions just wear me out sometimes. Altho, I did really enjoy watching my Mummy go ballistic the day I informed her that we were studying WWII in high school.... Always bad manners to treat your Mother's actual lifetime as 'history.'
You want me to get exercised about ATT -again-? I've been exercised about ATT's links into the corporate US since I first discovered they were fostering illegal wire tapping in the Los Angeles area - and mine was the phone being tapped. I got more exercised by their conduct before the breakup and their criminal attempts subsequent to it. I got really irritated when I was forced to work for the sons of bitches and found myself being bombarded -as an employee- with demands for money from my salary to be sent to the ATT lobbying group so as to pay Shrub for whatever favor ATT thought they could buy. Am I surprised that despite every attempt they are flourishing again like a damned green bay tree and at it -again-? No. With the internet? Yes, actually. The last time ATT thought about the Internet was when they sent their PR flack out on the steps of the corporate offices to hold a press conference where he announced that ATT was going to be making an offer on it.
They never did find the nice lady in Indiana who was in the InterNic office half time and processed the registration checks tho. Missed opportunity I guess.

Oh, so you offer a retraction from your insinuation?
You're gutless.
No, Gordo. I made no such insinuation. You're hateful, perverse little mind inferred something that was not there. I have said here many times when discussing my personally painful situation that in the end I had to let Stef go because she felt it was more important to find what makes her truly happy and pursue her dream with the ranch, and I often have used the shorthand "she'd rather play with horses."
Your mean-spirited insinuation that it was because my dick was small and she therefore ran off with another man is factually incorrect. So I noted that it wasn't "another man" that she turned to, but horses. As it turns out, female horses.
So, are you now going to suggest I'm insinuating she likes lesbian equine sex?

Well let's see. There's a rich man who lives in Dallas who has endowed: the entire breast cancer wing of Southwestern Medical School and Hospital and has given the single largest amount ever to arthritis research - something like 60 million.
On the other hand, George Bush threw $2000 into the aid to Katrina victims fund and his mother gave money to one of her other son's businesses via charitable donation.
Depends on the person.

I should add, in fairness, that every officer in the USAF is actually serving his country as opposed to going AWOL, and most couldn't skate through college as the privileged son of a Yale legacy entitled to preferential treatment. So although the USAF has its share of fundies, every officer in the USAF is probably smarter than the Chimpster.

Corporations have been cooperating with the NSA for half a century. What's different now is that they appear to be helping the NSA deploy its awesome computing and data-mining powers inside the United States in direct contravention of US law, which specifically bans the agency from collecting information from US citizens living inside the United States. "They wouldn't touch US persons before unless they had a FISA warrant," says a former national security official who read NSA intercepts as part of his work for the State Department and the Pentagon.

I guess, though, I do feel that Boomers have a little more to answer for than Gen-Xers at this point, given that they've been in the drivers seat for some time. But I'm on the older end of the Gen-X scale (born in '66) and I have been voting for over 20 years, so I definitely don't get off scot-free myself. (Not that I've ever voted for dickheads like Bush!)

because you just can't enjoy the beatles that coked up.
Your, you're, whatever.
And sorry for feeding Gordo and Jack, but I won't stand for any bullshit attacks on my wife, whom I still love and care for despite what's happened.

You shit on her all the time, liar. you're just too gutless to admit it.
Galatians 6:7: "Be not deceived. God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
Owls.
so.
But our lord Atrios is going to mention this. Right? He couldn't fail us. He is god.
""The public deserves to know about AT&T's illegal program," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "In an abundance of caution, we are providing AT&T with an opportunity to explain itself before this material goes on the public docket, but we believe that justice will ultimately require full disclosure."
N Todd, you had a wife and you'll have another wife

Of course he will, he needs someone's income to supplement his alimony.
I can't think of the EFF now without thinking of the miserable little piece of dung fy.
That sucks.
This, too, shall pass.

hey man, don't step on my negativity.
i may not know history, but i know what nukes can do.
it's bad, really bad.
technology has sort of changed the equation, and forgive my anxiety that we have fuckwits in charge that don't understand the value, or the nuances of diplomacy, obviously.
I'm not trying to tar all Boomers...I just think there's a tendency to point fingers and accuse entire generations of this or that...and let one's own generation off the hook.
Well, um, yeah.
Here's a little secret: we never thought twice about getting AIDS,
Speak only for yourself. Queers didn't all feel as you did.
Perhaps not.
But in my life I have had only one single conversation *ever* with a person who was concerned enough about AIDS to go get a test. And when she did, the doctor pretty much laughed her out of the office.
My point isn't that AIDS was never a real threat to anyone. My point was that the "AIDS is a threat to everyone" MTV-style message never had an effect on the people I knew. Looking back I think it was more about Baby Boomers trying to scare their children away from having sex.

Whoa! Don't look at me! I didn't say nothin'!

I'll continue to post this until we get some response from our gracious host.
From "EFF: Breaking News":
"The evidence that we are filing supports our claim that AT&T is diverting Internet traffic into the hands of the NSA wholesale, in violation of federal wiretapping laws and the Fourth Amendment," said EFF Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. "More than just threatening individuals' privacy, AT&T's apparent choice to give the government secret, direct access to millions of ordinary Americans' Internet communications is a threat to the Constitution itself. We are asking the Court to put a stop to it now."
You shit on her all the time, liar. you're just too gutless to admit it.
No, I don't. That's what makes this situation hard for both of us. Thanks so much for your interest in our pain--I'm sure it makes you feel really good about yourself.

What a sad little man. He can't win an argument, so he crawls in the gutter.
Pathetic.
But our lord Atrios is going to mention this. Right? He couldn't fail us. He is god.
He doesn't need to, with you reminding us of it every five minutes.
"and the new one from the Chicks isn't out for 7 weeks and it's #28 at Amazon..."
Fuck you, Bush!

Who you calling WE, MOFO?
But in my life I have had only one single conversation *ever* with a person who was concerned enough about AIDS to go get a test. And when she did, the doctor pretty much laughed her out of the office.
My experience was not nearly so remote. It was a constant, personal fear. No one could have ever convinced me not to have sex. I had a vivid imagination.
I'll have to check out Thrilladelphia. Sounds like some good times.
On Yahoo AP wire right now--
Lawyer: Bush didn't direct Libby to leak
Another dry hole for President Bush's enemies. Another non-event. Case closed.
I'm staggered that nobody mentioned it, and I'm certain its hours past anybody reading this threat link, but the best band in America is Philly's own Marah.
