Oh please. Now we have Chekhov telling us we're all wrong.
If someone could tell me why it's wrong to oppose the Bushies, on almost any issue at all, let me know. There's probably a line or two in 'Finnegans Wake' of relevance, at least to somebody. There's probably a pun on 'Cheetos' in there someplace, of which even Joyce was unaware...

It's fiction! Get over it, people. Do you think Jesus, being as much of a man as possible, didn't have feelings of love or lust? If you were created by God and believe in the Gospels as the word of God, then these feelings of love and desire are imbued in you by God.
Oooh, wonder if Colbert will rip on those guys who wrote up his buddy, the "duke-ster?"

What's the relationship between Scooter Libby and Scoop Jackson (the late Senator)? According to Wikepdia "addition to Perle, neoconservatives Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Charles Horner, and Douglas Feith were former Democratic aides to Jackson who joined the Reagan administration in 1981, and are now prominent foreign policy makers in the 21st-century Bush administration."
So is "scooter" an homage to "scoop" or is it just a stupid moniker?

res: in the 1960s they did mastectomies as primary treatment for breast cancer, except anecdotally in places like the Cleveland Clinic under George Crile, though even there, the institutional policy was mastectomy. Chemotherapy was usually reserved for those with recurrences, or for those who after surgery had demonstrable remaining disease that couldn't be surgically resected. The mindset was very different from today, where adjuvant chemotherapy is the norm...

Actually, a narcissist would be someone who thinks being right is more important than being effective.
Just got back from a meeting of Texas Dems, part of the 50 state canvas.
~15 people showed up.
Met candidates for Judge, Rep, and a hospital district (they control how the tax for the hospital is spent).
Very nice, tho I was a bit dissapointed that it became too focused on the individual campaigns and that the internet was never mentioned.
One younger guy (the average age was ~45) I talked to had no clue about blogs, almost seemed dismisive.

invading iraq was the most asinine endeavor, and the moment this nation engaged in said exploit we fundamentally changed the world, forever. i guess the same could be said about 9/11, but there were appropriate responses, and invading iraq was clearly not one of them.

Re: Pope Ratzo --
At the workshop I just attended the "liberals" were surprised that they preferred B16 to J2P2 & the wingnuts were the reverse -- I would have preferred Kaspar or Daneels, but they had about as much chance of being elected as I did!
and i have no idea what the decent left refers to...
Beinart, Joe Klein, self-described liberals who nevertheless see little to object to in Bushist Jacobinism. It's pretty self-explanatory, we had just all been talking about this.
I guess the real problem is W smirks when he's lying.

Met with NYMary, Thers, and scout prime last night in Madison, a sort of mini Eschacon. I think we'll have to do that again in Mich, seeing that there are many Atriots in that state. If not, see you in Chicago!

I wonder who the actor is. he's got the inflection down pat.
the "have mores"
Had the odd thought that if dark matter can't be observed except for its gravitational effects, perhaps it isn't in this universe at all, but outside it, exerting effect here. Similarly for dark energy. Wonder if the place to look for them isn't here.
Started thinking along those lines when I wondered about space travel. Reaction isn't enough to make the spaceships of our dreams reality; there would have to be a source of energy elsewhere, or a way of changing location without doing work to actualize them. So a waterwheel needn't supply fuel to produce its output in work/energy, nor need a sailing ship...

Cheney exempts his own office from reporting on classified material
BY MARK SILVA
Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON - As the Bush dministration has dramatically accelerated the classification of information as "top secret" or "confidential," one office is refusing to report on its annual activity in classifying documents: the office of Vice President Dick Cheney.
A standing executive order, strengthened by President Bush in 2003, requires all agencies and "any other entity within the executive branch" to provide an annual accounting of their classification of documents. More than 80 agencies have collectively reported to the National Archives that they made 15.6 million decisions in 2004 to classify information, nearly double the number in 2001, but Cheney continues to insist he is exempt.
Explaining why the vice president has withheld even a tally of his office's secrecy when such offices as the National Security Council routinely report theirs, a spokeswoman said Cheney is "not under any duty" to provide it.
That is only one way the Bush administration, from its opening weeks in 2001, has asserted control over information. By keeping secret so many directives and actions, the administration has precluded the public - and often members of Congress - from knowing about some of the most significant decisions and acts of the White House.
In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the administration has based much of its need for confidentiality on the imperative of protecting national security at a time of war. Yet experts say Bush and his closest advisers demonstrated their proclivity for privacy well before Sept. 11:
Starting in the early weeks of his administration with a move to protect the papers of former presidents, Bush has clamped down on the release of government documents. That includes tougher standards for what the public can obtain under the Freedom of Information Act and the creation of a broad new category of "sensitive but unclassified information."
Not only has the administration reported a dramatic increase in the number of documents deemed "top secret," "secret" or "confidential," the president has authorized the reclassification of information that was public for years. An audit by a National Archives office recently found that the CIA acted in a "clearly inappropriate" way regarding about one-third of the documents it reclassified last year.
Oh, he's there. But you can't see him because he's under various tables.
Blood is all over the screen.
res: Mehlman is quite a case, no?
As more acute folk than I have opined in these portals, there's a lot, I mean a lot, of sexual diversity amongst the Republicans. There's the gay folk; there are those in the closet; there are those who write about young women and bears; hot tubs and falafel; on and on.
i love him and they don't
Eek, I'm having a hard time watching this.
Where's the fucking hook?
He's doing great -- the audience is just not up to his level.
This is WAY over their heads.
So why are all you people torturing yourselves watching this?
Colbert is BOMBING!!
some people are laughing & think it's really funny, and others look very uncomfortable.
JR --
That is my sarcasm -- the Evangelicals are now insisting on a homophobic position -- not gonna happen -- there will be a schism -- it is not going to be above 10% (IMHO)
So I take it he isn't in character.
Before you say he's bombing, remember the laughs in this place are famous.
Besides he's just starting.
This is beautiful. Fuck the live *crowd*.

Damn fine question -- "Low Church" used to not have Holy Communion very frequently & make fun of people who used incense, but there was a beautiful liturgy with excellent music -- since I have been in the monastery a new seminary has been founded near Pittsburgh that replicates the near fundamentalist attitudes of English Evangelicals -- most distressing!
It is not good form to say that things will be better when they leave, but things will be better when they leave!

God, marry me, Mr. Colbert.
Okay, now he's going after the liberal media. This is all right.
They didn't laugh at the photo op joke. Maybe they're afraid they'll be fired if they do.
WTF? This is an odd time in our country, and it's reflected tonight at this event.
He believes the same thing on Wednesday that he did on Monday . . . no matter WHAT happened on Tuesday!
That is a classic.

::praying to the gods of Crooks & Liars:: I have Sonic the Hedgehog Chao all over my telly and cannot interrupt.
Silleigh, aka Furiousleigh
Try on the internets
He's snuck up on them and is going for the jugular.
They know they're being made fun of, but they're not quite sure how. I have the feeling whoever hired him for this gig is going to get the ax.
I'm stunned. Skewering His Holiness on live television, with no abiity to walk away. Steven is my new hero.
Colbert has no mercy.
Good.

Colbert is breaking the record for dead silence. Not the funniest stuff I ever heard, but they're afraid to laugh, I think.
yes!
JR --
They used to say that the Episcopal Church was the Republican Party at prayer -- not since the Civil Rights Movement, they haven't
Mary Mags has a disclaimer on the door proudly pointing out that the Anglical Church is NOT Protestant.
Honey, just caint get a whole lot more Prot than Anglicans - and it's ludicrously bizarre that that meme has been roiling around the denomination for as long as it has been.
Ah, good times, Presbyterians confirming Anglicans in the ministry in the New World....
Washington, D.C. - the chocolate city with a marshmallow center . . . and a graham cracker crust of corruption!
Silleigh, it's C-Span. It will be rerun. Trust me.
Nobody's laughing!!!
Joe & Mrs. Wilson have big grins on their faces.
Uh oh, didn't Bill Maher do this bit yesterday?
I *really* want to see the raw feed of Chimpy's reactions.
OMG, "Fitzgerald's not here, is he?"
I want to have Colbert's children.
sheets.
Stephen Colbert is like Lewis Black on tranqs without the shouting and spittle.
Heh - Gannon button on the podium.
Colbert is doing a number on 'em.
wish somebody would ask rove under oath some questions about dan rather and marla mapes.
Holy shit! This is surreal.

Glad to have been there. Easy for us, the cats can take care of themselves, and if you come that way again you have to stop by the homestead, you were so close!

Being as the initial divide was political, not theological, the Anglican Church is not really "Protestant" so much as "wayward". We have churches so high they perform masses that the RC's stopped doing.

GWPDA is speaking sociologically
We are speaking theologically

Lewis Carroll was a deacon in the CofE, BTW
colbert should have replayed the interview with kristol instead. nobody else is playing up his calling for rumsfeld's removal.

Guy [decent left Blog Crap] doesn't know a righty from a lefty from a Shactmanite Trotskyite.
Sheesh.

Neoconservatism. Many conservatives such as Irving Kristol, Nathan Glazer, and Sidney Hook, were around the Shachtmanite milieu in the 1930s and 1940s. Jeane Kirkpatrick was a member of the Shachtmanite-dominated Young People's Socialist League as a university student. In the 1970s Paul Wolfowitz was a speaker at SDUSA conferences [citation needed]. Joshua Muravchik, Penn Kemble, Carl Gershman, and Max Green, leaders in the Young People's Socialist League, became right-wing think tank insiders.

Who is to be the master?
Humpty Dumpty was a post-modernist prick.
Brutal!
Perhaps the most brutal thing in years at these joke fests!!

IICR, "The question is, who is to be master" -- "Lewis Caroll" was a mathmatician -- the first post-modernist?

One pill makes you smaller...

Did you see Fredo stomping out with Laurabot? He knew enough to be furious -- he is more evil than stupid (the reverse of Reagan)

Looks more like a chunk of mushroom.
I love both Alice books, but Humpty is not only wrong, but he's supposed to be wrong. Ads a logician, Carol knew that your references have to be congruent.
But Humpty won
The man with the yellow hat had left the building. George roamed the house understanding nothing.

"For every action there is an equal and opposite"
Started thinking along those lines when I wondered about space travel.

there would have to be a source of energy elsewhere, or a way of changing location without doing work to actualize them. So a waterwheel needn't supply fuel to produce its output in work/energy, nor need a sailing ship...
