I'm beginning to get a complex. Every time I say something the least bit serious, Haloscan either eats it or posts a new thread.

There is a sponsored link to this on Amazon when you type in search for Neil Young:

The Jihadis are attacking you. Run away!
Somebody should tell Faux that they were mentioned without permission.
Hecate: see lower thread if you haven't.
How is it that Neil Young wound up a Reagan supporter in the '80s?
Funny how when I get drunk I think of how much I hate Billy Graham. I'm not much of a hater by nature. But I see him as the prime mover of everything that's wrong with this country.
Neil's album is great. I'm gonna buy it. With that guitar tone of his I'd buy it if it was called "Thank God for Billy Graham." Maybe. Anyway it rocks.
Peace y'all.
Watertiger,
Great pictures -- great crowd!
The only real chance of an interesting confrontation at the WH correspondents' dinner tonight is if Joe Wilson runs into someone primed to yell at him.
hey res: how are you?
Great photos watertiger, thanks.
The Jihadis are attacking you. Run away!
Damned Jihadohackers.
Assrocket on the march
And the National Organization for Women; what's their theory? That a Baathist/al Qaeda takeover would be good for the women of Iraq?
Riots at West Point and peaceful peace marches. What's wrong with this picture? Or more precisely, what about it has the GOP crapping bricks?
Hi, ProfWombat.
Eh.
Went to the Cloisters today, though. Very nice up there, especially this time of year.
This is not related to Neil Young but "MICHELLE YEOH HAS NO PLANS FOR MARRIAGE OR KIDS"
just ordered it. Woohoo!
For those who live in MA - All the President's Men is going to be on at 8:00 on channel 44 (PBS- Boston)!!
enjoy!!
OT: sorry
Here's a story about how someone objects to the notion of gay families in a state where gay marriage is legal:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/EDUCATIO...s.ap/
index.html
More and more, the objection to gay marriage looks like a prior generation's objection to 'miscegenation' and mixed-race couples. Their increasing desperation will eventually be irrelevant; they've lost.
When Norman and Nancy Blake, the king and queen of old timey music, pen a song of treason, Bush in a lot of trouble. (song)
Here's a sample of the lyrics:
Don't be Afraid of the Neo-cons
And away down yonder in the Florida sand/Old Jeb Bush is a mighty man
He told little brother, don't be blue/For I'ma gonna hand this thing to you......
The churches all got on board/In the Holy name of our Lord
They took him for their favorite son/And they sent him away to Washington.......
Now Georgie Bush, he is the man/He landed in Afghanistan
We'll get Osama, was his crack/And now we're stranded in Iraq
He told ole' Rumsfeld on the green/Now you're the best I've ever seen
Just heed my words and you'll go far/And help me win my daddy's war....
Does anybody know if there's an internet site that has talking points/bullets of Bush's dismal record since he was elected?
HEY!! Wake up, Nedrenaline fans!

wp...6042901030.html
What riots at West Point?
More and more, the objection to gay marriage looks like a prior generation's objection to 'miscegenation' and mixed-race couples.
No, I have incontrovertible evidence that the queers are ruining marriage.

Cadets Vent at West Point After Drug Searches

One cadet apparently was hit with a flying peanut butter jar around 11 p.m., the incident log said, but wasn't hurt.
Our next president: he'll claim he was wounded in combat...
"Kumbaya" is Billy Graham.
"It comes down to people being immature," said one freshman, who asked that his name not be used. "The majority of cadets were apathetic."
The screaming omission here is the enormous tension all incoming military recruits must feel about a perpetual unwinnable war and a headless antileadership.

West Point Grads Against The War
From downthread re: civilian contractors in Iraq - I met a guy who was going to be earning $175K a year, tax-free, to push sand around Iraq.
What a deal!
res: she went out walking today, beautiful day, first time in months. Took an iPod I'd loaded with various things; she said it was OK as far as it went, but when she got into shape she'd need a faster beat. This is all to the good.
And if the H. P. shop still sells cherry strudel, it's on me, now and for aye...
Dammit. Every time I click a link that's here in Haloscan, the new window opens up with my whole Bookmarks window taking up almost half the screen (instead of none of it, as I prefer) -- is that happening to anyone else?

I already pre-ordersed it!
WOOT!!! Rock on, Neil!

Just returned from seeing the movie at the theatre.
IMHO, if this had been released before the 2004 election, Kerry would have won 40 states, easily. The movie was a slam at the government, and specifically the AWOL President and Vice President, from beginning to end.
The word IMPEACHMENT crossed my mind several times during the second half of the flick.
hey NT. OK, she (and I) need a month where, when she feels better, an oncologist with a sledgehammer isn't around the corner...
Always a pleasure...

ProfWombat, I think the money quote from that article is:

"And this on the riots."
Now that is a riot!!! Maybe there are some cajones left.

I'm glad you have a place to come to share your worries. Hope all goes well from here on out.

Oh yeah, she totally is. It's apparently just a cover, tho...
Toes,
I can't bring myself to look at the lobby posters. I can't read the reviews. Tell me what you thought of the movie.
Just returned from seeing the movie at the theatre.
What movie, Toes?
Monkeyfister - u get the msg the other evening on your room being available before Wheatland?
I will take care of your requirements pre-festival too, seeing how I am aware of them.
Sandy: not just my worries, but my hopes...
On Amazon's site, Springsteen is #1, Neil Young #3, and Dixie Chicks #8... All with anti-bush messages.
So clearly, the bush fellaters are desparately in the last throes. Democracy is coming and it will spell the beginning of the end of the repukes.
Okay, Ludacris is in the house at the Washington Correspondents' Dinner.
Well, he name rings bells from Atlanta to Sicily, as he says.
The man has only been in three movies (IIRC) and two of them won Oscars. Luda is clearly unstoppable.
It's apparently just a cover, tho...
It would be great if she was at one of the front tables so Presiden McChimpster had to look at her. Now he'll have a face to connect with the blown cover.
so how many of you slackers went to a 10 dollar movie instead of helping out some filthy Iraqi orphans. Do you want us to pull your whiny liberal card? Cuz we can do that you know.

Hey! Joey Pants is wearing pants! What do you think of that, NTodd?
Oh yeah, almost forgot. Celebrity sighting today: Laurence Fishburne. Up in Washington Heights. Very handsome.
Interesting dynamic at NYC rally today — absolutely no tension between marchers and cops — so unlike previous demos — even the cops have come around, it seems...
Alrighty! Henry Kissinger is there, too. Please seat him next to Ludacris.
Wow. Valerie Plame .... babe.
UNE (dearest), it's the old Win98SE, Fx 1.0.7 (I'm lazy). I can close it, but it's a hassle, and it only just started happening, and only from links I hit in Haloscan. Just weird. Think I'll kill the browser and open it again and see if that fixes it.

What's wrong with Kumbaya
"Kumbaya" (also spelled Kum Ba Yah) is a 19th century African American folk song, originating among the Gullah, a group descended from enslaved Africans living on the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia. (The translation of "kumbaya" is "come by here".) Originally a spiritual, the song enjoyed newfound popularity during the folk revival of the 1960s, and became associated with the civil rights struggles of that decade. The melody is believed to be of Gullah or African origin.
What time does the Sci-Fi movie start?
Ugh, I just saw Bolton at the Correspondents Dinner.
That Valerie Plame is MILF-tastic!
You obviously haven't checked her kerning.
Psst! "No Such Agency" is Billy Graham.
Guy: re: Doc Watson
Everyone I knew who played guitar during the 1960s, including me, tried to play 'Deep River Blues.' Found the chords, the picking, like that, but couldn't play half as fast as Doc, nor one quarter as cleanly. Nothing left for it but to listen to him do it, with a shit-eating grin, and do the best a mortal can when confronted with Olympian skills...

A friend used to work for a European airline and he dealt with a lot of the VIPs. Kissinger's people always had one request: to be seated next to a young, pretty blonde. I'm serious.
Other request: the airline had to send someone to hang out with Mick Jagger in the 1st class lounge.
Your Maximum Leader does not know or care what you think. He does not know or care what filthy lesbians and hippies are out marching. You are there to be ruled. He is your ruler. So keep your parades and whatnot real quiet lest we call out the fucking tanks.

I think the Blake song is a great tune. I actually have it on a CD of songs made available to the Music Row Democrats but I just now found out that it's available to listen to elsewhere on line.
The voices of the people are being heard. Bush is toast, the GOP is toast. The war is toast. People need to get it.
Avoid 'slack'. Hang yourself.

Nothing wrong with wanting to sit next to a pretty blonde. Everything wrong with using power to that end...

Geeze, fucking with West Point is gonna piss off a several generations of military officers. Not a bright idea George. Keep it up.

I HATE those. I define my morality differently that the pants-wearers, so I'm moral and they're not...
I can play Deep River Blues - but at no where the speed Doc does it.
Only saw Doc once... for about 4 straight hours at the National Folk Festival. He did a set, then 2 workshops in a row, then another set.
Midway thru it, I hung a 'For Sale' sign on my guitar (I was meeting some band friends to jam after - and our car was 5 miles away). The guy is simply amazing.
I guess he's a pretty good roofer too - for being blind.

Yeah totally. One white-shirted cop at Canal Street even yelled "Peace" into his bullhorn which drew cheers from the crowd, and I watched the cop to make sure he didn't wink or smirk at the other cops and he didn't. I honestly think that the presence of so many veterans, especially the young kids from Iraq, really made the usually confrontational cops think twice about the nature of the march and its participants. Good vibes all around and I'm guessing very very few arrests if any.
We studied tipping points at Harvard.

We would have tipped generously at Pitzer but we were too broke.
Will anyone at the WH Corresponent's Dinner tell BushCo to suck it, ya think? That'd be cool.
"It's my great honor to be here, and I'd just like to tell George W. Bush to suck my dick. Thank you."
Did I mention I'm drunk? And that Billy Graham (hat, Kumbaya, No Such Agency, etc. etc.) is the root cause of all of America's current problems?
Sorry if I did. And a heartfelt Peace! to all of you. Except Billy Graham.
OK now I'm leaving. Bye.

Once they told her that it hadn't metastisized, that was a huge weight off her mind. She's got a good attitude. It also helps that she got a good support group, from family to we here at work.

HI Monica_A: The Peeved
I don't know if "proud conservative" is oxymoronic...It's deffinately moronic.
The problem is that "conservatives" say they are proud because they support "family values", "fiscal responsibility", homophobia, and anti-abortion.
The oxymoronic part about it all is that while they may be proud and conservative, they elect leaders who are morally bankrupt, engage in rampant prostitution, are fiscally reckless, and engage in all sorts of non-family values activities.
One just has to look at Drug addict Rush Limbaugh, 3 times married Newt Gingrich, Prostitute frequenter Randy Cunnigham, and Murderer Bush to see that these guys are not conservative.
But the dumbasses are proud none-the-less...

Despite 20 billion dollars a year investment the M+M figures for breast cancer levelled out almost 10 years ago.

They spent a year following Maj. Steve Beck, the Marine casualty assistance officer whose job it is to inform families in Colorado of the death of their loved ones and help guide them through the paperwork and grieving process.

Being young is the art of survival without weapons, but we had weapons, and we used them to burn Viet Nam alive. I'm ashamed of that. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but it was the wrong thing. In an uneccessary war, patriotism is just racism made to sound noble.

Well, Clinton is rocking on CNN.
res: in the 1960s, we mostly did modified radical mastectomies. Lumpectomy/radiation was being done anecdotally, but it wasn't 'til 1985 that they were compared such that they could equally be offered. Chemotherapy was mostly a salvage option for metastatic (widespread) disease back then, and its side effects were 'tolerated' rather than, as today, anticipated and proactively dealt with.
This is a long story, and i'd be happy to go into it in as much detail as you'd wish. It's fascinating because it puts into stark relief many of the dilemmas not just of medicine, but of science. For instance, Halsted. At 1900 or so, breast cancers weren't seen unless you could feel them (big, advanced, large). Since Hippocrates, it had been felt (2000 + years) that surgery wasn't the right thing to do, since recurrence was inevitable. Halsted's radical mastectomy saved many lives. He was dealing with advanced tumors for which no other treatment had been proven satisfactory. He, in point of fact, solved the problem better than anyone had in 2000 years. Meanwhile, in the 1940s, an English radiation therapist named McWhirter showed that radiation therapy helped. During the 1950s and 1960s, a number of people, notably George Crile of the Cleveland Clinic, used radiation rather than mastectomy, but not in a controlled valid way. It wasn't until 1985 that it was unequivocally shown that radiation puls wide excision was as good as mastectomy for early breast cancer. Two months before that paper was published, I did a mastectomy for an early cancer in a lovely 72 year old matriarch. The month afterward, I called the family and her into my office, and told them that, were it now instead of then, I'd have recommended lumpectomy and radiation. They own a turkey farm; to this day I still get my Thanksgiving bird from them. Anyone who wants to tell me how easy it is, I'm all ears.
Meanwhile, anyone who wants to know where near Boston they can get the best turkey, they should ask...

Atrios' previous post about The War On Sraw was really good, no? I wish I'd been here to comment.
Let me be OT--As much as I like the Steven Colbert Show, hilarious openng credit sequence and all, there's a promo that's very misleading. Colbert says "The Pope might be infallible, but that doesn't mean he's always right."
The Pope is not infallible. That doctrine was only adopted in the 1870s and Popes have been remarkably reticient to invoke it.
The Pope is only infallible whe he declares he's speaking ex cathedra, and they've only done so twice, both on issues of Mary--the Immaculate Conception (not to be confused with the Virgin Birth) and The Assumption.
That's it. I've made a joke saying if I were Pope, I'd appear on Jeopardy ex cathedra. But for all the papal flaws, they take infallibility very seriously, and haven't exploited it.

It's a Master's Thesis, Jack.
Ph.D's do this thing called a doctorate that involves this other thing called a dissertation.
Draco --
Actually, what papal pronouncements have been infallible has been disputed (which does make the whole thing rather silly, actually) -- there are three items that are generally considered to make the list: the promulgations of the dogmas of the Assumption, the Imaculate Conception & (ahem)Infallibility -- canonizations of saints are also generally considered to be infallible -- some theologians would avoid the problem by saying that papal infallibilty has never been invoked, but those three dogmas I mentioned adhered pretty clearly to the definition at Vatican I (even though one preceded it)
That story about Beck was absolutely heartbreaking. He's a good man doing an incredibly hard job. -watertiger
Yup - the reporters who followed him clearly had a deep sense of awe and respect for what he does; they noted repeatedly that families forge a lasting bond with him through their loss. I was most moved by their description of his response to a woman who asked him whether her son's death was worth it: he simply said something to the effect that it was for her, not him, to decide.

Prior Aelred--i'll not dispute you on theology, but when I went to Catholic school as a Greek, the Jesuits were quite clear that papal infallibility had only been invoked twice.
As for saints, it was a severe source of annoyance for my Greek mother that the Catholics had the nerve to toss out Christopher, my name, along with George, Valentine and others.
"Subjects of veneration" didn't cut it, especially as it implied that the saints who were left saints were somehow accurate. My mother scoffed at the idea that St. Bridget could command apple trees to bloom, but St. Christopher couldn't carry Jesus across a river

Echidne --
No question that the women of Iraq were better off under thr Baathists -- come to think of it, everyone except the Kurds was -- certainly the Christians were -- lots of them are now refugees in Syria (which treats its Christians well) & Turkey (which does not) -- both "secular" governments in countries which are predominently Muslim (but very, very different, otherwise).

Just what the hell is a conservative anyway?
When I think of a Conservative I think of someone who likes to spend big money on the military, send troops to battle (but never go to battle themselves), has a secret fetish with homosexuality, and is morally bankrupt.
How do conservatives perceive themselves?
For their leaders are blatantly corrupt fiscally and morally.

Draco --
I don't dispute that Jesuits are clear -- just that they are right -- I'm guessing that the two that they counted were the declaration itself & the Assumption, but it could have been the two Marian doctrines -- both major impediments in ecumenical talks with the Anglicans -- the Immaculate Conception a problem in talks with the Eastern Orthodox, since they don't accept the Augustinian understanding of grace & sin on which the doctrine is based!
Look how much Gingrich, etc. respect marriage.

It's always the one-hit wonders who suddenly appear, spout something vile then disappear who will ultimately be quoted as the typical hate-filled leftist. Kind of like poor neutered scroll-troll and his bogus pro-Green screed.
For all the venting of righteous anger and outrage here, not to mention the overly generous use of the word fuck, I can't think of a single regular here who would not go out of their way to help someone in need. The trolls and wingnut denizens I can see stepping right over, driving right past, turning their heads so as not to see the person in front of them.
Ok, a few of them would face the needy, but only to spit on them.
Also pissed at the Jets for not going after Bush - another once-in-a-lifetime talent. Loosers.

That was the first wife. The second wife was informed by fax. And he was cheating on her with the staffer (Mrs. Newt the 3rd) while the impeachment process was going on.
Prior, not to quibble, but the Marsh Arabs didn't do too well under the enlightened Baathist leadership either. Just because American ignoramouses and their various toadies have blundered doesn't excuse the many outrages of the deposed regime, don't you think?
Clinton made mistakes. No one here is denying that. However, his positives outweigh his mistakes (which he apologized for). I can't fault Clinton for hanging out with H.W. Let's not forget the father is nothing like the son. Bush, Sr. has more in common with Clinton than he does with his flesh and blood. Phi Beta Kappa, accomplished statesmen, etc...

Sidhra --
You are right about the marsh Arabs -- of course we were supporting him at the time -- we read a book in refectory about the passing of the culture of the Marsh Arabs & how regretable it was, but somehow inevitable - maybe like the Native Americans
I was opposed to the regimes of Saddam Hussein & the Taliban when the Republican adminstrations were doing business with them, but I still think that BushCo accomplished the impossible -- they made life worse for average Iraqis than it was under the Baathists!

I guess to a Conservative it is better to be married and divorced 4 times each time marrying the successive mistress rather than be gay and married to the same person for your whole life.
After all, marriage is sacred between a man and a woman. I guess only people of opposite sex get divorced since it's so sacred...
The very first thing Clinton did that I remember, was sign the Family & Medical Leave Act. It's been a great boon for a lot of people. That's what I call supporting family values.

Perhaps not in your limited "with us or against us" perspective (even if you don't really think that, there are plenty who do), but the majority of the adults in this country are mature enough to know otherwise. You must require a massive expenditure of energy to protect your beliefs from the overwhelming evidence that they're utterly mistaken. No wonder you're both angry and tired all the time.

They liked the Benedictines, resistant martyrs under Henry.

Karin (Hi Karin -- I'm in South Jersey, BTW)
The Shia were certainly discriminated against under the Baathists -- unlikely to have white collar jobs or to get to the top if they did -- less likely to be without electrical power, running water, functioning schools or being randomly blown to smithereens, though
BTW -- I disagreed with Clinton about a lot, but anyone who can't see that we were better off with him as POTUS than the current occupant is too stupid to talk to (it might be contagious)

No, the bill I mean was to allow people to take time off work to take care of family medical issues with their kids or parents, without getting fired.
But you're right, he also restored funding to international family planning agencies.

Tough words, but true!

American governments have consistantly screwed up in dealing with the Arab world. We loved Saddam as a secularist strongman and counterweight to the lost Persia in the region until he decided to cross our oil interests. The current crop at State =really= doesn't get it. I think it's a lost cause hoping for any rational Levant and Arabian Gulf policy out of Washington.
I will say this for Clinton - he grew up in a family and community that looked more like those in the lower 90% SES bracket than most pols in DC. Yes, the "feel your pain" line became something of a joke, but it was rooted in the reality that he really *did* understand the problems of ordinary people in this country. That and an amazing intellect and tremendous personal charisma had far more to do with his success than his centrist politics IMHO.

That's what this President was supposed to do. We had the money to research and implement new technologies that could have fazed out the need for fossil fuels. We had the money to find cures for diseases. We had the money to help third world countries become economically and socially stable. Clinton could only do so much. It's up to other Presidents to keep society moving forward.

(at Counterpunch)
Don't you just know all these folks getting awards are cringing when they have to get their picture taken next to the fucking moron?
Never tasted Chartreuse. Benedictine, on the other hand, is very nice...
1996 -- the "old days" -- sheesh!
"Benedictine" is a liqueur -- it is not made by monks -- the company that makes it claims that it is from a recipe found in a monastery -- it is pretty sweet which is one reason they sell B&B (Benedictine mixed with brandy) -- if you are going that route, I would recommend Drambuie
Atlanta is pretty darn blue -- certainly the Episcopal Church there is much more liberal than in most of The South
I was reared Baptist & (like most active Episcopalians) didn't convert as an adult so much as walk in & discover that I had been an Episcopalian all along without knowing it!
Fuck, I'm gonna fucking puke.
Something we all can agree with
Karin --
Not yet -- interesing how capitalizing different words would make a difference in what you typed...
Bottom line is that like many people my age, I grew up with Jewish friends, never met an Arab & saw Israel as the underdog -- that influences our policy still -- of course in the Cold War era, Soviet support for the Arabs made our support for Israel inevitable & a lot of our foreign policy runs on inertia
Prior Aelred--Have you ever seen or read the play Angels in America, or seen the HBO movie?
I ask because the lead character in named Prior Walter, and in one of the supernatural sequences, he's visited by ancestor Prior Walters. There's an argument whether there are 32 or 34 Prior Walters, depending on whether you count the bastards.
I've not seen the play, only the movie. But I like its depiction of God having left heaven, leaving it in cold ruins where the angels wear winter clothes.
The angels are not nice guardian angls--They're Old Testament angels who love God and have little use for humans. The angel who appears to Prior Walter tells him he's a prophet and his advice to mankind should be "Stop moving."
