But is she on a plane??
There is a long list of people who snapped when 9/11 happened. It's similar to Alvin Toffler's idea of future shock. Maybe it's a large-scale type of post-traumatic stress disorder. Either way, it sucks that the bastards who let 9/11 happen are using those who are afflicted with the disorder to determine the national discourse. It just feeds into their dementia and the Bush government's plans.
honey, Paris Hilton IS the plane.
I have no idea what that means, I'm still trying to wrap my brain around an idiot named "Stuntz."

It's kinda scary to think that this guy's mindset reflects that of a lot of people. It wasn't that long ago that fools were talking about "the end of history" as if the U.S. was excluded from history.

Now, THIS is funny: "For most officials most of the time, the key choice is not between doing right and doing wrong, but between doing something and doing nothing. Doing nothing is usually easier--less likely to generate bad headlines or critical blog posts."
I always KNEW it was Atrios's fault. The reason the administration has done so many idiotic things is they were afraid of mean blog posts.

Actually, it's baby boomers who are destroying this country. Bush and Rove and Scotty and Ari...Cheney and Rumsfeld are old bastards using them to implement their evil schemes.

critical blogs posts. heh. indeed. it's my fault we went to war in iraq.

The harder it is to tap our phones, the more government officials will seek out alternative means of getting information: greater use of informants and spies, or perhaps more Jose Padilla-style military detentions with long-term interrogation about which no court ever hears

Please enjoy this bit of wisdom from Professor Stuntz:
Too often, the world of top universities is defined by its arrogance: the style of argument is more its plainly true that than I wonder whether. We like to test our ideas, but once theyve passed the relevant academic hurdles (the bar is lower than we like to think), we talk and act as though those ideas are not just right but obviously right -- only a fool or a bigot could think otherwise.
Maybe someone should remind him.
Whateverthehell else I thought about Harvard, I never thought the professors or students were fucking stupid.

Morons have an excuse for their behavior, jack is simply trying to elicit a response.
He has advocated wholesale violations of civil liberties, and even less government accountability than we now have, without maaking the case that it's necessary to do so based on prior experience.
In point of fact, there's little if any evidence that what he proposes would solve a single problem that's cost a single life, even in wartime. On the other hand, examples abound of abuses along the lines he proposes which are viewed in retrospect both as unproductive and unnecessary, and as black marks on the American escutcheon, a fact he'd do well to acknowledge.
Shame on him.
I'm not blaming boomers, I said the hippies were good people. But the fucktards ruining everything now are from the same generation. Personally, I blame the suburbs.
Hmm, here's another interesting quote from a Chicago Sun-Times editorial (July 3, 2004):
Innocent citizens minding their own business ought to be able to rest assured that they won't be handcuffed and humiliated by agents of the state. Instead, as Harvard Law Professor William J. Stuntz warns, we're coming "ever closer to a world in which the law on the books makes everyone a felon, and in which prosecutors and police both define the law on the street and decide who has violated it." Reversing that trend is an enormous task, but an absolutely vital one.
Not gonna catch him on a foolish consistency!

Not really my area but it seems to me that a society like ours depends on the good will and the generalized desire of our people for a civil world. To these ends we tend to ignore each other most of the time, but step in when there is a perceived need.
If the above is true then no amount of liberalism can diminish this and no amount of government intrusion can stop the malefactors from doing whatever it is that they are going to do. The job of stopping those who would tip the society away from civility is, as always, dependent on the good will of the people's participation. If we choose not to allow it, it will not happen.
In essence, the premise is flawed. If the premise cannot proven to be, if not true, at least not false: then the application of such information gained is bound to be erroneous.

For what it's worth, I've been thinking about what Atrios just posted, as well as his recent pondering about what the hell happened 6 years ago and what it means now. And the only thing I can fathom is this...9/11 didn't changed everything....it merely accelerated what was already festering.
On one hand, you have a cabal of neo-cons who wanted power, and who had been working their way up through the establishment to get it. They tried to convince Clinton that Iraq was a danger. He passed. Meanwhile, there's the media, which had been steadily abandoning its watchdog role for something more pampered and celebrity, something that would let them be starstruck yet allow them to maintain the mantle of journalism.
In other parts of the world, you had the hardcore Muslims who wanted to have their own regime change. The problem was, a good deal of the Muslim world was moderate, accepting of the West. The Taliban were in control of Afghanistan, but that was Afghanistan. The world blinked and looked the other way as, during the 90s, you had moderates come to power in places like Iran. Iraq was boxed in, and even there was some bright shining hope coming out of Israel and from the Palestinians, some vision that a couple decades down the road you might have something that looked like peace.
So, in November of 2000, Bush and Co slither their way into office and try to institute their vision of the world. It's rough going. Bush is losing steam thanks to the economy, early foreign policy boners, and the implosion of once-mighty corporations.
And then 9/11 happens. Suddenly, Bush and Co get a second chance and push their agenda through, which gives the opportunity the neo-cons wanted. Everything is in fast forward. Attacks abroad, crackdowns on dissent at home. The core neo-con fanbase stretches out while everyone is still in shock. People, under the aforementioned future shock model, join in to help explain away just why things are so scary and maybe that nice Mr. Bush will protect them.
Things accelerate faster. Bush strikes Afghanistan and then gotes into Iraq. Momentum builds, but in the wrong direction. For the neo-cons, they move too fast, at home and abroad. Everyone has their opportunity to take, to hoard, to rob, to control...every grabs and the effect is too noticable, too painful. More people begin to notice. America is getting adjusted to the acceleration, and now seeing everything in relative speed, know that something is horribly wrong. Which leads to Iran. The neo-cons have no idea of slow. They can't lose this burst of velocity that 9/11 gave them. They need Iran to keep going. It's like a drug now.
I blame the Jews, the hippies, and the lack of posts on biofuels, white phosphorus, and my pants.
I blame Eli.
He argues that transparency makes it harder for government officials to do something, and doing something is better than doing nothing: "For most officials most of the time, the key choice is not between doing right and doing wrong, but between doing something and doing nothing. Doing nothing is usually easier--less likely to generate bad headlines or critical blog posts."
Nah.
Apparently John McCain has been taking policy lessons from John Kerry:
"I was asked a long time ago, I think a year and a half or two years ago, if I had confidence in S ecretary Rumsfeld. I was asked that directly. I said, 'No,' " the Republican senator said during a news conference at his Phoenix office.
"But the president has the right and earned the right as the president of the United States to appoint his team -- and he has confidence in Secretary Rumsfeld.
"I will continue to work with Secretary Rumsfeld as much as I can as long as he is secretary of Defense. We have to, because we need to win this war."

Second, the initial invasion of privacy isn't the problem; subsequent disclosure is. The true image of privacy intrusion is not some NSA bureaucrat listening in on phone calls, but rather Kenneth Starr's leaky grand jury investigation, which splashed a young woman's social life across America's newspapers and TV screens. That is the nightmare worth protecting against. The best way to stop the nightmare from happening is to limit not what information officials can gather, but what they can do with the information they find.

Well this is odd - an extensive piece by Stuntz from this January's Harvard Law Review that includes:
That effect leads to another: a sharp decline in transparency. In a healthy system, the law is what it appears to be. The rules applied in court are the same as the rules on the street, and courts apply those rules often enough that citizens can tell what they are.... The real law--the law that governs individual cases--arises from discretionary decisions to order off the menu: police officers' arrests and lawyers' plea bargains. That law is invisible to outsiders. Invisibility, in turn, makes effective political regulation difficult. Not only does the current system of constitutional regulation aggravate the political diseases it sets out to cure. Worse, the law makes political cures harder to effect.
So, I guess transparency is sorely needed in the criminal courts but an open sore in the federal government. Must hurt his head being so clever.
Everyone quickly back away from NTodd.
Hey, at least they're not rhinestones.
[D]ifferent forms of evidence-gathering are substitutes for one another. Anything that raises the cost of one lowers the cost of all others. The harder it is to tap our phones, the more government officials will seek out alternative means of getting information: greater use of informants and spies, or perhaps more Jose Padilla-style military detentions with long-term interrogation about which no court ever hears, or possibly some CIA "black ops," with suspected terrorists grabbed from their homes and handed over to the intelligence services of countries with fewer qualms about abusive questioning. In an age of terrorism, privacy rules are not simply unaffordable. They are perverse.
That's appeasement.

Today, the danger that American democracy faces is not that rulers will know too much about those they rule, nor that too many decisions will be made without public scrutiny. Another danger looms larger: that effective, active government--government that innovates, that protects people who need protecting, that acts aggressively when action is needed--is dying. Privacy and transparency are the diseases. We need to find a vaccine, and soon.
Stuntz is in a cold panic.

OK....when Harvard law professors are writing things like, "Privacy is the disease," it's time to acknowledge that Tweety Flu has infected more people than we realized.
Tweety Flu, of course, is the malady that makes you say insane contrarian things - and probably believe them - because you are bored.
You're an academic or a pundit who is treading water in a sea of instantaneous facts and opinions. You've heard it all and read it all, 20 minutes before you sat down to draft the next monologue or article that justifies your existence. And you're bored with being boxed in by the rules of discourse. Rules like, "Totalitarianism is bad," or, "Racism is bad."
You want a new discourse. Something to get your editors or your campus symposia hopping. So you think outside the box. "Is totalitarianism really incompatible with freedom and democracy?" "Is torture really evil?"
And before you can say, "John Yoo," you find 26,000 results when you Google your name, instead of just 12!

We were just going to say that actually Horowitz's entire scaremongering scam is predicated on both regarding "liberalism" as an extremist ideology when it's pretty common and well-integrated. A lot of faculty are hardly leftist at all but, if forced to choose one of only two, would go with left; and being not-rightist is the same as being Leon Trotsky to Mr Horowitz.

We were in agreement, in complicity, as it were.
This particular maladmministration has clearly set itself apart and declared itself an enemy of the People, and they deserve every damn blowback they get.
Implicit before was that we could trust the gov't because they were governing in our best interests. This particular group, however, apparently dislikes (perhaps hates) and distrusts and dismisses all of us as irrelevant. And that is precisely why we are calling them on their shit. And must continue to, until (or if) they tell us the fucking truth.
They ain't gonna. So, too, we ain't gonna let up on their motherfucking selves.

Donald Rumsfeld has sacrificed much for public service. He could be sitting on his ranch in New Mexico clipping coupons but he chose to serve his nation. And you lowlifes in the peanut gallery sit at your keyboards and take potshots at him. Get into the arena and do something with your worthless lives besides bitching about Rumsfeld.
I'm guessing that Horrorwits pulled that blacklist out of his ass too, which is why its black.
Reason #5,237 why Steve Jobs is an insufferable prick.

What is a briar patch? I fell into nettles off a bridge when I was little (we were trying to learn to fly). Are briars something similar? If so, I will grow some.
I used to have a triple chamber bong with an American flag painted on it. If that isn't true patriotism, I don't know what is.

Beg pardon: your English is impeccable so perhaps I didn't think you would have missed this American folk tale.
Never mind. I googled "briar". It's not as bad as nettles. If you get stung by nettles spit on the itching spot and then rub it with sand. Works every time.
Are briars something similar? If so, I will grow some.
Briars have wicked poking thorns, nettles are more of a chemical burn.
That said, they're mighty tasty and nutritious after you boil them.

Really, bulbs don't do well here- there are a few varieties of native irises, but generally, if you want bulb flowers (tulips and stuff) you have to pull them out of the ground, store them in the freezer or fridge and replant them.

Gen Clark said in a television interview: "I believe secretary Rumsfeld hasn't done an adequate job. He should go."
Gen Clark said he believed Mr Rumsfeld, along with Vice-President Dick Cheney, had helped push the Iraq invasion when there was "no connection with the war on terror".
Gen Clark said the secretary had lost the confidence of some officers in the military who were asking for "somebody in the military chain of command who will listen".
Gen Clark has been a frequent critic of the Bush administration's Iraq policy.

One disturbing consistency with flicks from that era was the inclusion of some sort of Jim Crow or "Indian" or "Chinaman" references. They test marketed the shit out of movies then, and maybe those gratuitious racist segments were what they felt the audiences wanted.

The camera operators in that era were just masters. They often had those hand cranked paralax equipment, where they didn't even have the advantage of through the lens framing. And Lloyd generally hated sound stage reproductions of motion. So they were on fast moving vehicles, or in the case of Safety Last, *way* up in the air.

I don't know thtaq for certain, but from the link....
From its first recorded exhibition in France in 1357, this cloth has been the object of mass veneration, on the one hand, and scorn from a number of learned clerics and freethinkers, on the other. Appearing as it did in an age of unparalleled relic-mongering and forgery and, if genuine, lacking documentation of its whereabouts for 1,300 years, the Shroud would certainly have long ago been consigned to the ranks of spurious relics (along with several other shrouds with similar claims) were it not for the extraordinary image it bears.
SO FWIW, the thing is supposed to have an image on it. But for my money, there is no telling whose image is on it. AND, there have been images seen all through history. Especially today.
I denounce all things shoud related. Just too much inferred.
