Ho-boy. Ms. Howell has officially weighed in about “A Good Leak”. And it’s not a pleasant sight. The whole god-dammed opinion piece was one falsehood after another. Of course she skips that issue and reduces it to this:
The passage in the Post editorial that sent war critics round the bend was this one: " . . . Mr. Wilson was the one guilty of twisting the truth. In fact, his report supported the conclusion that Iraq had sought uranium."
Um, no, Ms. Howell. Sure that was one point. But just one.
So according to Ms. Howell, we are “round the bend.” Um, okay, so we are “round the bend.” One complete falsehood after another tends to do that to a person.
And then she graces us with this wisdom:
Some readers think it's a scandal when two parts of the newspaper appear to be in conflict with each other, but it's not that unusual that reporting -- particularly in news and editorial -- will depend on different sources.
Okay…. Well that makes me feel better. There is no objective truth! What a waste she is!

Men, you have 30 seconds to impress women http://news.scotsman.com/scitech...fm?
id=567952006
HALF of all women make their minds up within 30 seconds of meeting a man about whether he is potential boyfriend material, according to a study on speed-dating.
The women were on average far quicker at making a decision than the men during some 500 speed dates at an event organised as part of Edinburgh Science Festival.
The scientists behind the research said this showed just how important chat-up lines were in dating. They found that those who were "highly skilled in seduction" used chat-up lines that encouraged their dates to talk about themselves in "an unusual, quirky way".
The top-rated male's best line was "If you were on Stars In Their Eyes, who would you be?", while the top-rated female asked bizarrely: "What's your favourite pizza topping?"
Failed Casanovas were those who offered up hackneyed comments like "Do you come here often?", or clumsy attempts to impress, such as "I have a PhD in computing".

Hey Richard, I'm willing to bet that if you dig more deeply, you'll discover that women have about five seconds to "impress" men.
A few more paragraphs from the article I linked to...
About a third of the speed dates were actually over within the first 30 seconds, but there was a marked difference between the sexes with 45 per cent of women coming to a decision within 30 seconds, compared with only 22 per cent of men.
Professor Richard Wiseman, of Hertfordshire University, said: "Men are often accused of being shallow and judging women very quickly.
"However, this evidence suggests that women may make up their minds much quicker than men. It suggests men have only a few seconds to impress a woman, thus emphasising the importance of their opening comments."
The study also found that women were twice as picky as the men.

Pope Ratzo interfered with the 2004 election and was a major reason why Bush got elected....
President Bush treated his final visit with Pope John Paul II in Vatican City on June 4, 2004, as a campaign stop. After enduring a public rebuke from the pope about the Iraq war, Bush lobbied Vatican officials to help him win the election. "Not all the American bishops are with me," he complained, according to the National Catholic Reporter. He pleaded with the Vatican to pressure the bishops to step up their activism against abortion and gay marriage in the states during the campaign season.
About a week later, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger sent a letter to the U.S. bishops, pronouncing that those Catholics who were pro-choice on abortion were committing a "grave sin" and must be denied Communion. He pointedly mentioned "the case of a Catholic politician consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws" -- an obvious reference to John Kerry, the Democratic candidate and a Roman Catholic. If such a Catholic politician sought Communion, Ratzinger wrote, priests must be ordered to "refuse to distribute it." Any Catholic who voted for this "Catholic politician," he continued, "would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil and so unworthy to present himself for Holy Communion." During the closing weeks of the campaign, a pastoral letter was read from pulpits in Catholic churches repeating the ominous suggestion of excommunication. Voting for the Democrat was nothing less than consorting with the forces of Satan, collaboration with "evil."
In 2004 Bush increased his margin of Catholic support by 6 points from the 2000 election, rising from 46 to 52 percent. Without this shift, Kerry would have had a popular majority of a million votes. Three states -- Ohio, Iowa and New Mexico -- moved into Bush's column on the votes of the Catholic "faithful." Even with his atmospherics of terrorism and Sept. 11, Bush required the benediction of the Holy See as his saving grace. The key to his kingdom was turned by Cardinal Ratzinger.

Yeah, I know, but the idea the Pope shouldn't interfere in American politics was based on anti-papist sentiments, which were that Protestants (even marginal ones) were Christians, while Catholics were superstitious. And so prone to be unduly swayed by a "foreigner."

You want off-topic, I'll give you off-topic. Apparently Sony refused to preview the new crapfest The Benchwarmers for critics (an inexplicable new trend- bad reviews are like honey for this kind of film), except somehow a handful in FL. Bad review is sent out and hilarity ensues. (Sony was caught making up a critic for a previous Rob Schneider travesty.) But that's not the funny part.
Why should you care? Well, please don't. Not a lot, anyway. Not like a White House that denies access to the press to control news about a trumped up war and cover up its own misdeeds and missteps. Not like the NFL trying to ban TV crews that aren't on its payroll from sidelines.
And that prompted responses [with his comments]:
You had me right up until the ham-fisted political commentary. [Always wondered where that last person who thinks they did the right thing voting for Bush lived.]
What's worse, a David Spade/Rob Schnieder movie you know is going to be bad, or a hacky critic taking a surprise politcal cheap-shot at the end of a hacky review? The latter. [KYLE, KYLE. NEVER go against the FAMILY.]

Anti-Papist sentiments (such as the Pope should not "interfere" in American politics) stem from the 19th century.
Current popular sentiment on separation of church and state stems largely from Justice Douglas' opinions in the late 50's/early '60's. Much of what we think Jefferson said on the subject is viewed through that lens now, but wasn't for most of American history.

Mothers, don't let your kitties grow up to be outdoor cats!
There's a good Bird Flu diary over at DKos which mentions that cats can be infected by eating infected birds--and research indicates they die.
Just a possible caution for all of our cat lovers here: might want to begin behavior modification if they are outside cats.
This is almost like the days of emerging herpes or AIDS--when we would look back to the "good old days" when we didn't have such a fear.
One point made was that cats might become an object of less educated people's fear and be in danger from them. And we now how scientifically educated BushCo people are!

Echidne, your comments seems to be down. Do I ever have something to say about angry leftist bloggers.
Last week, thinking about the contempt that the media whores have for bloggers, leftist bloggers especially, and we, the humble though not meek commenters. Ever since before The Horse we've known that the media whores are in it for two things, the money and the invitations to fame fuck at those parties given on the fringes of the real establishment. The ones declasse enough for them to invite the help.
That is the key to understanding their contempt for us. Like all professional whores they are endangered by people who give it away for the love of it. Giving it away for love is a real danger to their fees.

Again, not widely discussed nor considered in American history.
I didn't say the interpretation of Jefferson was wrong(some guy on FoxNews with a book out does that, and I think he's wrong! GRRR!!!), just that it's not the interpretation of the 1st Amendment that has prevailed since the Constitution was ratified.
For one thing, the 1st Amendment says "Congress shall make no law..." It wasn't until after the 14th Amendment that the 1st Amendment began to be applied to states, who could make any damned law establishing religion that they wanted to.
Even then, it wasn't until Douglas' opinions that the "wall" between church and state which Jefferson mentioned, gained the force of law.
So it has not ever been thus.

Sorry folks, but the days of six kids rolling around in the back of the wood sided country squire are over. I could get a ticket for having my child "improperly restrained". I think I could get a ticket for having them in the passenger front seat with an air bag. My pediatrician asks my kids if they wear their seatbelt or are in a booster seat. And it ain't a bad thing.

Much of what we think Jefferson said on the subject is viewed through that lens now, but wasn't for most of American history.
Are you saying that during most of American History people were unaware that Jefferson had his own bible, and exchanged letters with the baptists who were fearful of a state religion (which in thir minds would exclude them)?
I "think" I know one thing: you are utterly full of shit.

This is a dicey issue. My sister-in-law was killed when she was struck in the driver's door by a pick-up (T-boned, as they say). She was in a small Chevy.
I drove a Volvo wagon for years. But if any of the SUV's which populate Houston had struck me in the same position, the bumper would have been at my face, not at the level of the steel bars reinforcing the doors.
Smaller SUV's, like the Lexus and Volvo, aren't that tall. But I thought about it a lot as I drove almost under the Explorers and Suburbans and Excursions and Hummers around me.
Safety is a relative issue.

Yep, as they are today. Most people don't equate Baptists with concern about state control of religion. Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact (Jerry Falwell is a Baptist minister). Most people have never heard of Jefferson's Bible, too.

I heard Jim Woolsey give an address this week in which he pointed out there are *zero* reasons other than political we are not already driving vehicles that get in the 100's of miles per petrol gallon and are far safer than the safest vehicle out there today. Made an extremely convincing case for advancing a portfolio of changes across fronts - fuel cells, hybrid electrics, ethanol and switch grasses, carbon fiber shells (like in NASCAR) replacing steel and so forth.

Drivers in Boston don't use their turn signals. It can get hairy when someone tries to merge into traffic from a parked position without any indicator being used, and this happens every day.
I'm not sure if it's Yangee thriftiness or what. But driving in Boston is an adventure anyway. My sister refused to drive here when she visited, and she has driven in Paris and in Istanbul.

Send them over to my part of town, will ya? We either have people driving 10 miles an hour or 55 down Skillman and Abrams. And don't get me started on the fact that our streets are narrow, people park on both sides and it's a fucking standoff just to drive down the damn street. GRRRR. And that's particularly true all over Lakewood/M Streets where they are perpetually tearing shit down and building new shit or remodeling. So there are trucks parked on both sides of the street. For months.

Chocolate Proton!
Years ago. Bells. Lots of bells. It's quite close to the place you stop for pie on the way to Prescott.

Lieberman had nothing whatsoever
to do with Gore's loss (or win,
actually). People don't vote for
vice-presidential candidates; they're
largely irrelevant.
The Arab-American voters overwhelmingly voted against Gore because Liebershitz was on the ticket, according to a Palestinian American friend. He had some nasty rows with his relatives after the Iraq invasion, telling them "I told you so."
It's not silly. Prejudice applies to politics. It's still with us.
Regardless, thanks for reminding me that Gore really did win.

Off to have dinner with my daughter, as we do every Saturday night.
And that's particularly true all over Lakewood/M Streets where they are perpetually tearing shit down and building new shit or remodeling.
Lakewood is kinda nice. Though I really hate working on them houses. And the "M" streets. Ugg. I hate taking my one ton van thorough that neighborhood.

Interesting bit of 10 COMMANDMENTS
historical trivia:
Elmer Bernstein, who wrote the
music, was your typical NY Jewish
liberal and had been blacklisted.
DeMille, who was pretty reactionary,
didn't give a shit and hired him
anyway.

BINGO!!!!!
However the incurance companies are but a subset of the nanny state which itself is just the head of the "protection racket".
Really the Bermuda looting triangle is composed of the MI complex, Big Pharma, and Insurance company profit guarantee.

There is an appreciable change in gas mileage when I have to run the A/C.
But if I don't, I arrive smelling like a gym locker.
Rmj,
The last time I was in Houston I went down there to see a friend from law school. She picked me up at the airport and the A/C in her car had just died. I almost died, too, by the time we got it back. You cannot drive in the cities in Texas without A/C. You can get away with it outside the city. I've certainly done it - there was no A/C in my Volkswagon nor in my MGB. I was younger, too, but anyway, in town - it's just too awful to contemplate.

Lakewood is kinda nice.
I will not live in any other part of Dallas. This is it or nothing. And I've felt that way since I moved to Dallas in 1970. I lived all around east Dallas when I was in my 20s and renting little frame houses for $75 a month, over between Lakeland and Garland Roads. Used to drive around over here and dream. I wanted one of those big houses on Tokalon. I'm perfectly happy where I am, and this isn't the most expensive street in the neighborhood by any means. No Hutsell houses - all 50s brick.

In 2004, George Mason University polled 415 presidential historians and found 80 per cent considered Bush's first term a failure. More than half considered it the worst presidency since the Great Depression. More than a third called it the worst in 100 years. Eleven per cent said it was the worst ever. Robert McElvaine, a professor of history at Millsaps College in Mississippi, says scores would likely be worse if the poll were repeated today. "When I filled out that survey I said Bush was the worst since Buchanan [1857-61], but things have gotten worse and now I'd have to consider him the worst ever," McElvaine says.
Worst. President. Ever. |

What did Bush actually writebefore he issued that letter of "support" for Rummy? Here's what the first version might have looked like. . .
Summary: The truth, "Rummy is my lapdog and doing a heck of a job!"
GWPDA,
Actually, the feline population is well behaved. I also have a Pyr named Patou
and a Catahoula cattle dog named Max Henry. Its more a case of the cats keeping the dogs in line. They (the cats) also hunt the deer in the neighborhood under the mistaken impression that they are "big mousies".
Score: Venison 5 Cats 0

Either send your cats to Liberal Mountain to deal with the cheetahs, or I'll ask the Feral Burros if they want to throw in with your gang and take out the deer.

GWPDA,
you don't have a specific problem with cats do you?
Lancelot "looks" like he could be trained to deal with feline overlords.
UNE™AngryBlackMan
The feral cats of the neighborhood treat my house as tho it were theirs - much to Arthur's loathing. Often there will be one of that ilk arrogantly sitting on the front porch wall, whilst Arthur sits poised on the hall rug on the other side of the door. It's a standoff most days.
Lancelot on the other hand, might be able to impose a little much needed discipline.
