I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Let's talk footgear.
OK
It sucks that Lieberman is going to win the primary, but the grass roots gave him a good scare, and maybe it will turn him Democratic.
How 'bout another first kiss?
Oh Joey-cakes!
Gah.
I need some dick 'n balls
Cute couple.
Bush was really leaning in there, eh? Joe was playing hard to get.
*schmak!!*
They're practically tonguing
Reminds me of the mural on the Berlin wall that showed Erich Honnecker (East German PM) practically sucking face with Leonid Brezhnev.
Lieberman: Fuck me hard.
"I'va always loved you."
I think I just meta-vomited in my mouth...
Tongue?! Ahhhhh! Gross me out.
Ah caint quit yew!
Well, it makes a great campaign ad for Ned Lamont.
Is Lieberman smirking? I guess kissing Bush (in this context, a bad thing) is like being bitten by a werewolf. You turn into one of them and then try to spread the cooties around even more.
Ah caint quit yew!
The Old Man From Scene 24
A dozen comments to get to Brokeback? People, turn up your zeitgeists, will ya!
Gee, your hair smells terrific, Joe.
Or is that Body on Tap? he he he
Pipick punch!
A dozen comments to get to Brokeback? People, turn up your zeitgeists, will ya!
Brokeback Hill?
The kiss of death.
evening folks...
apparently the decency laws aren't in effect here...man that's gross.
"He smells like liquor but I'm sure it's his aftershave."
Again.
I'm not making jokes about Brokeback.
In fact, I think I shall watch the DVD!
Here's some bad news:
May 11, 2006 - George Lucas says the script is done for Indiana Jones 4, but that filming probably won't begin until next year, confirming details shared by Frank Marshall last week.
"We're working on it, we're working on it," Lucas told MTV. "We've been working on it for 10 years. I think it'll be a great film, but it's completely different. It's still got a lot of action, and it's still very funny. I think it works like crazy."
George Lucas though Jar Jar was a freakin' laugh riot. No doubt Richard Cohen did too. Just sayin'.
"will you respect me in the morning?"
Uh, no.
Lieberman: Fuck me hard.
Vicki, Who ? Al Gore
Letting Lieberman fuck you might have been a good way to get to Al in 2000, but I don't think they're on such good terms now.
Joey, ya got some schmutz there - lemme just... yeah... there we go... mmm.. you smell nice... I have a room here.. y'know, just sayin...
John's a good hugger but Joe's a kisser.
they're both Fredo....
Brokedick Mountain
Lieberman sleeps with the Bushes, Don Lamonte.
God damn that's a nasty picture!
I have a question that I would like to ask. This is totally off topic but since none of you guys know me I figure I will get an honest answer. There is a musician named Corey Harris that is playing a free outdoor festival here this weekend. I have been making some guitars that I think are pretty cool and I am trying to get the word out about them. Would it be uncool to approach him to get him to sign one and maybe try it out?
Hey!
Meesa funny, surely!
and I felt so happy
that I almost cried
and then he kissed me!
"We're working on it, we're working on it," Lucas told MTV. "We've been working on it for 10 years.
10 frickin years? Jeebus. I think it took James Joyce less time that that to write Ulysses.
Meesa funny, surely!
You're *not* funny. And don't call me Shirley.
Joe, you're the auxiliary nipple of the Republican party, and Liddy Dole will give you plenty of tongue later tonight.
Now THAT"S a mandate!!
so Joementum isn't going away?
I suppose not.
I keep hoping for the acceleration factor to work in instances such as these.
Will we really have to wait decades to get the Dem party back...???
Would it be uncool to approach him to get him to sign one and maybe try it out?
Not at all, unless you act like an entitled dickweed. But it would be way cooler if you got the other Coreys to sign it- Haim and Feldman.
He said, "Veni, vidi, vici."
If that picture is not plastered on every available billboard in CT, lieberman will win.
It turns my stomache, though.
Would it be uncool to approach him to get him to sign one and maybe try it out?
Totally cool, in my opinion. I'd think he'd be flattered, really. Do you know what he plays so you can make a comparison to your guitar for him?
but the grass roots gave him a good scare
I want to see him fucking terrified. Popped Ned a twenty, despite the foul mood I've been in (brought on by an evening spent working on a system restore).
so Joementum isn't going away?
I suppose not.
I don't know, the primary's three months+ away...a lot of time to hang this picture around JoMo's neck. I recognize it's an uphill fight, but I ain't givin' up.
G. Jones--
I say go for it, but play it by ear. If he's approachable, tell him about your axes, that you'd be honored if he'd sign one and/or play it. Whaddya got to lose?
JeffCO
I would never do that. What gutter do you suggest I find the others Corey's in?
was DrWho any good tonight? Missed it at 9 and wondering whether I should try to stay awake or just watch it in bed, fall asleep, and dream of having adventures with Rose.
As I pointed out on Firedoglake:
Connecticut is the third smallest state, coming in at 5018 square miles. It’s smaller than Hawaii, being only larger than Delaware and Rhode Island. Connecticut is home to 3.4 million people, concentrated mostly on the coastal slope and the central valley.
I think Lamont can quite easily fend off Lieberman's air campaign that he'll no doubt launch from the safety of Bush's cocktail weenie parties in DC. Lamont has been doing a great job of pressing the flesh in the state.
It will be interesting to see how much Joementum there is now that Connecticut voters have a real democrat to vote for. It'll be interesting to see the polls leading into the primary.
just call me angel of the morning...gross frakking pic.
What gutter do you suggest I find the others Corey's in?
Is there a rehab center nearby? Check around.
Not at all, unless you act like an entitled dickweed. But it would be way cooler if you got the other Coreys to sign it- Haim and Feldman.
Might also want to look into Mr. B Natural as a spokes... um.
DemByDefault
I always hope!
lamont also has about 100 million in his checking account, which has to make JoMo watch his steps. Lamont could say something like, I'll pledge to only spend contributions from democrats, as long as my opponent does the same. JoMo's already lost that fight.
was DrWho any good tonight?
I enjoyed it. It was a reprise of the "farting aliens" story-line (but with no actual farting) and a very different plot.
Ripley:
I'm sure he's never seen anything like mine. Being an art school dropout, I've been making them out of found objects. The one I'm thinking about taking is a resonator made out of a cakepan. He plays slide a lot and it is perfect for that. They sound amazingly good. My friends are all amazed , but they are my friends. They think everything I do is genius.
DemByDefault
I always hope!

As the great Miss Molly Ivins says, we're a lot more fun than they are, cause we're goofy optimists.
Letterman to Mary Cheney......'That Jennifer Garner is good looking.'
was DrWho any good tonight? Missed it at 9 and wondering whether I should try to stay awake or just watch it in bed, fall asleep, and dream of having adventures with Rose.
I had a hard time being distracted from this blog to watch it, but it seemed to be pretty good.
I think Scifi replays it on sunday night.
Mr. B Natural is hot.
that is hot..
cause we're goofy optimists.
HA!
Speak for yourself! I am not goofy.
"Lamont could say something like"
Just occured to me that McCurry and Begala would call me a wannabe political strategist for typing that.
I thought Holy Joe had said he would spend the Dem's CT bank accounts dry to win against Ned.
True?
If so, what a WATB, not to mention self-important schmuck who most certainly does NOT have the country's best interests at heart, just keeping his sweet job.....
If that picture is not plastered on every available billboard in CT, lieberman will win.
I was thinking the same thing. Put it on billboards. Take out full page newspaper ads.
I just thought of a caption...
"Joe Lieberman's constituency"
The picture captures Lieberman's discomfort.
Speak for yourself! I am not goofy.
What kind of mickey mouse outfit is this anyway?
I didn't know they had MST3K on youtube. That is pretty cool.
mary cheney on letterman; when she walked out and sat down, letterman's first comment was: 'that jennifer garner sure looks good, doesn't she'...
that's a 30 second commercial for Ned Lmaont right there. still frame.
Yeah. I really wanted to go to bed with that image in my brainbox.
Thank you Dr. Atrios, sir.....
What kind of mickey mouse outfit is this anyway?
You dare Dis ney?

Stop yelling, you'll get Horace.
I for one will not let you Horsecollar me into this.
I'm sure he's never seen anything like mine.
You've got nothing to lose, man. Show him what you make and dazzle him. You never know what a good connection can do for you, and this could be your shot. 
AAAAiiiiieeeeee!
Need eye bleach, stat!
You dare Dis ney? -smalfish
I've just had my fill of plutocrats.
I really wanted to go to bed with that image in my brainbox.
There is no more disturbing image imaginable than The Decider sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office.
that is so gay.
and i don't mean that in a homosexual way.
fuck joe lieberman.
and mccain too.
i will actually start to believe in america again if the dems. take one house. i will really believe if lamont takes out lieberman in process.
If that picture is not plastered on every available billboard in CT, lieberman will win.
Actually, it looks a little photoshopped. They should get an actual screencap from the speech-- that'd be damning enough.
Holy crap, Letterman is just slamming Mary Cheney. How is it he became a better interviewer than our so-called news media? He won't let her double-talk her way out of answering the direct questions he's asking.
Thanks for the opinions. I've got a neck to install. Sweet dreams.
I think Al Gore betrayed Joe Lieberman.
OK, the first 10 minutes look interesting, although I had been hoping I'd seen the last of those aliens. The shifting between the special effects of them running around and then waddling around in real time was pretty hilarious in the earlier episode.
Mary Cheney just took a swipe at John Kerry.....
The audience roared with applause.
How is it he became a better interviewer than our so-called news media?
He gave Chimpy the toughest TV interviews of any in the corporate media.
Mother Petzold says Mary Cheney was just brought up wrong. Mother says it's Lynne Cheney's fault. If Dick and Lynne Cheney really loved their daughter, they'd help her understand that she really likes boys. That's what Mother says.
Sweet baby Jeepers! Loserman should be run out of office for kissing the ass of the worst. pResident. ever. Does his bad judgement not make him unelectable to his constituents? What on earth are they thinking????
Mary Cheney just took a swipe at John Kerry.....
The audience roared with applause.
Guess I'll go register as a Republican tomorrow and try to find a way to stop that John Kerry.
Mary Cheney talk - me listen.
OK, the first 10 minutes look interesting, although I had been hoping I'd seen the last of those aliens.
She's in human form for most of the episode... they go off an anti death penalty riff in the middle of the show.
Oh. I see the two Coreys are here.
There is no more disturbing image imaginable than The Decider sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office.
The Old Man From Scene 24
Sure there is.
Cheney standing behind him.
I think Al Gore betrayed Joe Lieberman.
Toby Petzold
Eat me. And put batteries in my dildo.
Then fuck me with a fake apparatus, because you ain't getting near me.
Hahahahahahahaha! Brokeback Loserman and Tex moron.
Toby, I hope illegal Mexicans drill you in the ass
True, another great interview by Letterman.
Cheney standing behind him.
Eeeeek!
True dat.
Larry King on Conan OBrien.
Mary Cheney's OK with the Republican hatred of gays, as long as daddy's money keeps flowing into her bank account.
Fuck Mary Cheney. If she had any balls she'd tell her father and his party to go fuck themselves.
Ai'ight batsies.
Since Atrios won't put up any more kitty pictures to soothe my poor bruised brainbox -- I'm gonna take a nice hot bath and go to bed.
Manana......

I JUST saw Brokeback Mountain for the very first time on pay per view, and when I switched on my computer after it was over this was literally the first image I saw.

WORD! I loved it that McCain the phony puke got a resounding *BOOOOOOOO!* from NY college students and faculty yesterday. What a dick.

Well, neither she nor her father believe in that crap, but that's what they need to stay in power, so who cares who gets hurt? If you've got the name Cheney and the money and influence that goes with it, who cares what happens to little people.
They really are such scum. Both of them.

mary feels it's not the role of a campaign worker to make policy.
letterman is doing a very good job -- he said 'lesbian' about a dozen times the first few sentences...
Mary Cheney said Dick is a safe hunter.

I have a long record, mostly under other names, of provoking some of the best conversations these threads have ever seen.

Otherwise they just talk about alcohol, sex, and cookies.

Mary Cheney was the VERY public VERY GAY face of Coors before she went off to serve daddy. That's only part of what makes their faux outrage at Kerry "outing" her so ludicrous. That she continues to go along with it simply further confirms that she's a typical Republican selfish bastard.
Nite, granny Flory.
Peace out.
It sucks that Lieberman is going to win the primary...
How can you be so sure?
This is not a joke, a tall tale, or anything but the unvarnished truth.

I notice you don't say it's not a trick....
Mary Cheney said Dick is a safe hunter.
The grouse agree...
Mmmm.... Cook-ies...
NTodd,
How was the ride in the metal tube?
That photo is...disturbing.
That is a frightening picture. It looks like the prelude to a reacharound.
NTodd--have you seen pictures of your niece yet?
Otherwise they just talk about alcohol, sex, and cookies.
Kid you not - I've been drinking beer, just ate two chocolate chip cookies and I...
I've said too much...
Mmmm.... Cook-ies...
C is for cookie. That's good enough for me.
I immediately thought of J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson. Yet no one is wearing a dress here.

Home already? wow!
I farted and it stinks
Buzz Bomb--Echidne gave me a wonderful recipe for speculoos, which are a thin, crisp, wonderfully buttery cinnamon cookie.
Jack...Joe has a look on his face like he smells it.
So, we had girls night out tonight, and my best friend called and asked if her husband could watch the Pistons at my house, since we'd all be at her house, anyway. I agreed to it.
And then I come home at 11:30 and find a crystal lamp broken in the living room. Pieces scattered all over. It was a gift from my mom, and it was precious to me. Every time he comes here it's something else. Things mysteriously break. And I'm dead serious. There is a disctinct pattern.
I don't like the guy. He's 52, jobless, a pothead, and quite insulting for all of his laziness.
I have a feeling he did it out of aggression toward my friend. He hates not working, and he hates that she has intelligent friends.
Every time he is here, something special breaks. I'm tired of this, and I'm going to call him out...at least to the point to let him know I'm on alert.
Mary Cheney seems to have a streak of contempt and hatred, just like her father. Why does the Cheney clan make me think of this X-File episode?
Moravian Spice Coookies rawk.
Trolls, not so much.
Sallyh - sounds de-lish!
I see jack is still claiming that somebody is namestealing him. How tired...
Echidne gave me a wonderful recipe for speculoos, which are a thin, crisp, wonderfully buttery cinnamon cookie.
Are you sure? Because I'd swear my last girlfriend was complaining about how cold they were and she needed a new gynecologist. I may not have been paying close attention, however...
Richard,
And you're the one that accuses me of being 'allen butler'.
All fallacies and innuendo.
You use your 'gut' to make false accusations, and i'll use mine.
How was the ride in the metal tube?
Dunno. Slept. Bouncy on the initial descent, but no worries. Nice being home, thanks!
I call it the Dianne Sawyer look - perpetually bemused, as if trying to source a silent but deadly that got all up in her hair. Damn annoying.

I hate myself. That's why I do what I do.
Set a bear trap for him the next time he comes over.
Doug,
That'd be funny, if I weren't so fucking sick of him.
Of all my friends, I wish she'd leave him. He is a disrespectful, non-contributing to his plush lifestyle let alone his $ 600/month pot addiction, lifestyle. He's an ass.
Oh well, her cross to wear.
As for your taking my suggestion that you're Allen Butler as "a false accusation", why would you even care if you aren't him? All you do here is troll anyway. You have no reputation to protect otherwise.
if you understood how unhappy i am you'd stop hating me.
being alive mtself, i really doubt it.
I get drunk and abuse the other Atriots because I'm so maladjusted.

Do NOT allow that bastard into your home again! He's obviously hostile and destructive. 86 the bastard!
it should be obvious by now that i don't do this because i like it.
NTodd---bet the kids are happy to see you.
Oh well, her cross to wear.
Vicki, you be perfectly correct and
with-in your rights, if you forbid him to ever show up at your house again.
letterman just coming back from commercial break, looking down as he doodled and muttered .."well, if my phone wasn't tapped before"...
I think it probably is. After he ran the film of that kid yawning during Bush's speech.
the namestealing really does hurt my feelings. i won't really get angry though. I can't.
Again, why is anyone on God's green earth giving her any attention?
Because she almost resigned from the Bush/Cheney campaign. She's courageous!
I've got a backlog of clients to service.
Much a do, about whoring.
He's not coming here again. He can blame it on the animals (which he is trying to do), but my cat and dog have lived here for over a year together, and they've never bothered that lamp.
I'm tired of his shit.
But I digress.
if Hecate were here, I'd beg of her to send him a newt spell or something.
NTodd---bet the kids are happy to see you.
Sam is. We'll see about Mex tomorrow morning. And I guess that means I should get to sleep so I can make it to the kennel on time!
Night all.
let alone his $ 600/month pot addiction
That's either some very great pot, or he just smokes a ton of mediocre pot.
Either wouldn't suprise me, there are people who consume that much.
For example I'm currently drinking a very nice bottle of Czech PilsnerUrquell. However it's the third beer I've drank this month.
it should be obvious by now that i don't do this because i like it.
Torlling: It's not just a job, it's an adventure.
Because she almost resigned from the Bush/Cheney campaign. She's courageous!
A maverick even!
richard,
now it's your turn to admit the fragility and nonexistence of any foundation for your accusations.
Well, another thread becoming all about jack. Guess I'll watch the rest of the Giants-A's game.
if Hecate were here, I'd beg of her to send him a newt spell or something.
May he toke the wrong end of his joint and burn his tongue severely!
I do what I can...
fake jack,
Why would you taunt someone you believed to be mentally ill?

Growing Number of GOP Seats In Doubt
Vulnerability Seen In Unusual Places
By Michael D. Shear and Dan Balz
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, May 20, 2006; A01
VIRGINIA BEACH, May 19 -- When some of the country's top political handicappers drew up their charts of vulnerable House incumbents at the beginning of this year, Rep. Thelma D. Drake (R-Va.) was not among them. Now she is.
President Bush carried her district with 58 percent of the vote in 2004, but strategists say his travails are part of the reason the freshman lawmaker now has a fight on her hands. He swooped into town briefly Friday for a closed-door fundraiser for Drake but made no public appearances.
Drake, who won with ease two years ago, is not alone. With approval ratings for Bush and congressional Republicans at a low ebb, GOP strategists see signs of weakness where they least expected it -- including a conservative, military-dominated suburb such as Virginia Beach -- and fear that their problems could grow worse unless the national mood brightens.
Some veterans of the 1994 GOP takeover of Congress see worrisome parallels between then and now, in the way once-safe districts are turning into potential problems. Incumbents' poll numbers have softened. Margins against their Democratic opponents have narrowed. Republican voters appear disenchanted. The Bush effect now amounts to a drag of five percentage points or more in many districts.
The changes don't guarantee a Democratic takeover by any means, but they are creating an increasingly asymmetrical battlefield for the fall elections: The number of vulnerable Democratic districts has remained relatively constant while the number of potentially competitive Republican districts continues to climb.

Eyeeeew.... Ditch weed... gross
anyway, you all enable me by responding so it's not really my fault. i don't understand why you complain and namesteal.
posting short, authoritative-sounding sentences on Eschaton is my way of expressing hostility towards liberals who make me feel inadequate
Because she almost resigned from the Bush/Cheney campaign. She's courageous!
Or at least ... almost courageous!
I think Lieberman tried to slip W some tongue.
Sweet, linda!!

A retraction from the National Post...
Experts say report of badges for Jews in Iran is untrue
http://www.canada.com/nationalpo...be-

Several experts are casting doubt on reports that Iran had passed a law requiring the country’s Jews and other religious minorities to wear coloured badges identifying them as non-Muslims.
The Iranian embassy in Otttawa also denied the Iranian government had passed such a law.
A news story and column by Iranian-born analyst Amir Taheri in yesterday’s National Post reported that the Iranian parliament had passed a sweeping new law this week outlining proper dress for Iran’s majority Muslims, including an order for Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians to wear special strips of cloth.
According to the reports, Jews were to wear yellow cloth strips, called zonnar, while Christians were to wear red and Zoroastrians blue.
The Simon Wiesenthal Centre and Iranian expatriates living in Canada had confirmed that the order had been passed, although it still had to be approved by Iran’s “Supreme Guide” Ali Khamenehi before being put into effect.
Hormoz Ghahremani, a spokesman for the Iranian Embassy in Ottawa, said in an e-mail to the Post yesterday that, “We wish to categorically reject the news item.
“These kinds of slanderous accusations are part of a smear campaign against Iran by vested interests, which needs to be denounced at every step.”...

Same here. Peace out, bats!
i survived a fatal one.
One?
In 1991 I was tested seropositive for HIV.
In 1998, never having taken medication for HIV, I tested," no detectable viral load." Other health problems aside, I've been fine since.
i don't allow myself to get mad. i have much more control than you people. but the namestealing is pissing me off. stop it. now.
Out of the incredible amount of emails that I've received so far,
somehow i'm namestealing myself.
Quit namestealing me!
I am too, not insane.

Great analogy: Jack is like gonnorhea and Toby is like syphillus.
Which one do you prefer?
Come to think of it, that analagy also applies to the Republicans and the Jellocrats.
I wanna be syphillus.
Why can't I be syphillus?

I wote them down and asked if he could further elaborate.

To me it sounds like you had a false positive test or somehow you got rid of the infection.
I can understand this I came close to dying right around thanksgiving. Thankfully the clinic who'd been treating me gave up what they'd been trying and sent me to the hospital where I got the kind of care I needed. The ER doc I saw diagnosed me correctly then did enough imaging, and blood tests to confirm his first conclusions.

McCain at New School: Honeymoon is Over
Co-written by Sam Graham-Felsen
"I haven't heard anyone aroused about me speaking at the New School," John McCain said in April, defending his decision to address Jerry Falwell's Liberty University.
Nobody at all, except for virtually the entire crowd at the New School's Madison Square Garden graduation ceremony in New York City. At the beginning of the event, New School President, and former Senator, Bob Kerrey predicted a raucous affair. "Our founding purpose is proudly liberal," he said. "We began as an act of protest."
The school's tradition of dissent carried on today. Scores of New School students held orange signs, and a few banners, reading "McCain Does Not Speak For Me," and "Our Commencement Is Not Your Platform." What began as mild rumblings of disapproval before McCain's speech soon exploded into boos, catcalls and turned backs.
The spark was provided by undergraduate keynote speaker Jean Sara Rohe, a composed, seemingly innocuous jazz musician and singer. After beginning with a short folk song (true to classic graduation speech form) Rohe quickly tossed aside her prepared remarks to directly address McCain.
"This ceremony has become something other than the celebratory gathering it should be," Rohe said. "The Senator does not reflect the ideals on which this school was founded. This was a top-down decision in which the students played no part." The crowd erupted.
"I consider this a time of crisis and I feel compelled to speak," Rohe continued, referencing McCain's speech at Falwell's Liberty University last Saturday.
She paraphrased McCain's words on the folly of youthful stubbornness and ignorance.
"I am young, but I do know that pre-emptive war is dangerous and wrong," she said. "Osama bin Laden has not been found, nor those weapons of mass destruction." The vast majority of the crowd gave her a standing ovation.
"Well, we're having fun now, aren't we?" Kerrey cracked before introducing McCain.
The Senator spoke in a dull monotone, without his usual charisma or charm. He was noticeably deflated by the crowd's harsh reception towards him. Remarks such as "I supported the decision to go to war in Iraq," were met with loud boos.
"I stand that ground because I believed, rightly or wrongly, that my country's interests and values required it."
"Wrongly!" one student boomed from the back. Sitting directly behind us, Maureen Dowd and Adam Nagourney of the New York Times, chuckled.
As McCain droned on, students became increasingly restless. One cried, "This speech sucks!" Several students walked out early.
Summing up the mood of the day, another shouted, "We're graduating, not voting."

I guess he did and I can see why it is hard for him to sleep. I cannot see how he can support McCain and his support for Iraq war being that the same kind of thing is happening there as in Vietnam.
oh sure, bebe is funny. i just want to know why dole and strom.
bebe is the shit. Auxilliary nipples are da bomb!
Bob Dole is a looser. Strom was the woodpile bomb!
Well, Kerrey was a SEAL and McCain was a Navy pilot. They were both elite. Their view of the war might have been different from the grunts who had to go out and fight for land they thought they captured a week or two ago. And Kerrey's not like someone who'd come back and say it was a mistake, not like that young guy-- what was his name? Berry? Derry? Whatever happened to him, anyway?
Every time he is here, something special breaks. I'm tired of this, and I'm going to call him out...at least to the point to let him know I'm on alert.

That is true. I am tired of some Democrats being civil with these uncivil Republican. I am tired of some Democrats being reasonable with these unreasonable republicans. I am tired of some Democrats working with republians whose definition of 'working with Democrats' is total exclusion of Democrats. I am tired of some Democrats who believe standing by and doing nothing is the best way to win the next election, they put party before country.
One night, at a stag Senator party, I got Bob Dole to place his claw against Bob Kerrey's stump. It wasn't Aristophanes two-backed beast, shit it wasn't even a complete human being with those two joined. Then Daniel Inouye wandered up and started to undress. That's when Strom started screaming, "Got milk? Got milk?", and jacked off a willing Alan Simpson into the punch Bowl.

People like this are a direct threat to the safety and well-being of other Americans, yet we're running around hysterical about Arabs and Mexicans.
Families across Baghdad's mixed Sunni-Shiite and Sunni neighborhoods are fleeing the uncontrolled violence in droves, seeking refuge with relatives in other parts of the country or abroad.
An Iraqi journalist who lives in a mixed Sunni-Shiite district that borders Amariya said unknown assailants shot a neighbor dead Sunday and left his body outside his gate.
"I heard his little children cry over his body," she said. "I don't have any hope left."

Bush, far more than any of his predecessors, is resorting to a third option: signing a bill while reserving the right to disregard any part of it that he considers an infringement on his executive authority or constitutional powers.
In more than five years in office, the president has never vetoed a bill. But while approving new laws, he has routinely issued signing statements interpreting the legislation in ways that amount to partial vetoes of provisions to which he objects.
White House spokesman Blair Jones insisted that Bush is not trying to undermine the lawmaking authority of Congress, and noted that many past presidents have issued statements on the meaning of bills they sign.

nsr - 1:44 am
i think it is pretty universally understood these days that just about anybody who went to nam and killed anybody killed 'civilians' too...a lot of civilians were 'the enemy', howsoever misleading an appellation that was, since it was surely WE who were the enemy, just as WE are the enemy in Iraq...
kerrey's seal guys and those marines who murdered those folks in haditha last year are part of the same continuum, which grows mainly from the untenable position of the illegitemate occupier...
the propaganda that you're fed as a troop says you're there to help 'those/these' people...but they seem to hate you and try to kill and injure you, when you kill those among them who are deemed dangerous to your mission...which is, always fiercely paradoxically, to help them, according to your CO and all the brass
and the folks back home...
bob kerrey won a CMH, iirc--mebbe for that very mission for which he now is (justifiably) criticized. john kerry won three medals for bravery...and some greasy, slithering, smirking GOPuke slimeball who never served a fucking DAY in uniform, much less in combat, hands out purple heart bandaids at the 2004 RNC, and gets a big laugh???

Last May, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS - News) raised eyebrows on Wall Street by releasing a report warning that crude oil could see a "super spike," with prices reaching as high as $105 per barrel. And now? Well, the price of the front-month crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange is averaging above $65 per barrel for the year to date, after hitting an all-time high on Apr. 21 of $75.35. While crude prices have pulled back somewhat since then, it seems the Goldman warning may not be so far from reality after all.

NEW YORK - Arizona Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) received a cantankerous reception Friday at the New School's commencement, where dozens of faculty members and students turned their backs and raised protest signs and a student speaker mocked him as he sat silently on stage.

I really don't get why McCain was picked to speak there anyway. Defend the war at someplace called "the New School"? No wonder he acted dispirited. It was a no-win situation, a recipe for disaster, a spectacle where no way would you come off looking good. What were they thinking? If I were McCain and I was considering a run in '08, I would have some serious words for my advance guy.

This country can never be righted if the warmongers who then spit on vets are in charge.

And trolls are the last ones who have earned any right to comment, as they are all cowards, like their "leaders".

Canadian Sunset has been a fave of mine for 40 years. The opening bars of mary Wells' "My Guy" is the same groove. I just learned it from hearing it on the radio, so I have no formal arrangement. Do you need it, like a lead sheet?

The hit on Canadian Sunset was instrumental, Eddie Heywood, pianist, I think. The lyrics are a bit corny, not quite up to the tune itself, but it is a fine composition, reminding me a bit of Ferde Grofe's "On The Trail" from the Grand Canyon Suite. I know I've heard it sung, but I don't remember the vocalist.
We need a law that makes Chinese the national language.
Actually, Erin, come to think of it, it might be a fun thing to sing as a group, but it's a little complicated and would take some committment.
All this time I thought English was pretty much the national language. I guess if we don't make a federal case out of it, everybody will start speaking Esperanto, right, jack? Stupid's a common lifestyle shoice among wingnuts.
Pelosi is personally progressive on many issues. But she has not done much to develop a progressive image — or message — for Congressional Democrats. Rather, she has embraced the same caution that has undermined the party's appeal in the past two election cycles.
It amazes me that so many people who otherwise basically take the liberal position on things will get themselves worked into a frenzy over those who don't speak English. ick

I took a look at a mercedes 300TD (touring diesel wagon, not turbo diesel)
The body is straight and pretty free of rust, dings or bad paint. The car drives well, started up quickly when cold, and had the expected vacum leaks. Common for that car, and though it's pretty easy to fix with a couple of rolls of vacum hose from NAPA, most drivers don't or can't fix this and therefore want to get rid the mercedes. (everything in that model mercedes runs off vacum, door locks engine shutdown, load leveling) The problem is that the auto transmission "flares" or shifts mushy between 3rd and 4th gear. This means the transmission is due for a rebuild. I'm going to give the guy an offer but about 1500 dollars less then he's asking, which is about what it will cost to fix that problem.

It seems that Benedict, while undoubtedly an arch-conservative, does understand that his new job (the pastoral care of 1 billion Catholics) is somewhat more broad than his old one (doctrinal enforcer). I think a lot of people assumed he would just move the Inquisition down the hall to the pope's office when he was elevated to the position. He didn't need to - someone else has that job now.

"The most important step for Iran is the first one — independent research and development capacity," said Maj.-Gen. Aharon Ze'evi. "They have already begun to enrich uranium, starting in January or February 2006. After that, it isn't important whether the first bomb is built in 2010 or 2015. The damage is done."

Interesting read on the motivations and dismotivations...
:::I’m supporting Joe Lieberman,” said Voigt. Not that Joe is perfect. The senator’s support for anti-abortion Supreme Court nominees like Sam Alito and especially his pro-Iraq war stance had even his supporters frowning Friday evening. “But he’s a straight shooter,” said Voigt. “I may be more liberal, but I know I don’t represent the whole party.”:::
Yup. Don't vote with your conscience in order to accomodate some mythic wishy washy center and Democrats will be viewed as accomodationist wishy washy flip floppers with no spine.
Night, SD and P&T.
i still have my ovaries, so maybe i'm only 1/2 useless...
Pitchforks and Torches--the gov't isn't into regulating sperm...at least not yet.
the latest buzz i hear is that there is a vaccine to prevent HPV virus in women. in order to ensure it is 100% effective, it has been suggested that girls as young as nine should be innoculated.
wingnuts heads are exploding over this.
Yup - for some reason they believe preventing cervical cancer will cause sweet young girls to suddently turn promiscuous. Neither will they give women access to Plan B over the counter, nor even teach young women how to avoid AIDS. These mofos are sickies and need to be removed from power.

Yeah, FDA approved it unanimously. Made the evening news here last night, as cervical cancer took one of Hong Kong's biggest pop stars, Anita Mui, a few years back at an outrageously young age.
to me, the message is that they don't care about their daughters. here is a way to prevent a known cause of cancer, a cancer which claims a quarter of a million women every year, world wide.
yeah, giving them a shot at nine is going to turn them into raging sluts.
no plan b? and yet the ads for cialis are overwhelming. everywhere you look.
men are supposed to have hard-ons and spew sperm all over the place, women are supposed to cross their legs unless forced to accept the sperm. and if they have an unwanted pregnancy?

Steve, read that New Haven Independent piece I linked above.
All of the pro-Lieberman delegates were about "we like his seniority, we like him cuz we know him personally".
*gag*
At least we know that Lamont's views represent the party and now he's got to reassure the party faithful that losing seniority isn't a bad thing for bringing home the bacon.
The fact that a relative unkown got twice the percentage of delegates he needed to get on the ballot is incredible. Our own ronjazz has been working hard for Ned. At the very least we can start having the Democrats sound like Democrats instead of repukes lite.
he's got to reassure the party faithful that losing seniority isn't a bad thing for bringing home the bacon.

If we can squeak out a majority in either the House or Senate, then it should be OK, bacon-wise.
these "republican lites" as ofmrql so aptly calls them should quit dancing around and go over to the other side.
and the rest of them should grow some spines and ovaries and stand up to the 'pukes accusing them of playing "bipartisan." what is so wrong with bing "bipartisan" anyway? i thought that was the whole idea.

Morning all.
The pro-death thuglican party is making a big item out of its uptick on AIDS aid, but an excellent commentary on the actuality notes that only 28% goes to prevention, and its insistence on its extremist policies prevents much of that from being used efficiently. one thing I hadn't realized is that the cabal won't involve actual sex workers [prostitutes of all varieties] be involved in the programs, meaning one of the best sources of vitally involved personnel is eliminated. These people are ignorant.

Bushophobic is a negative view of an inclination toward virtuous behavior.
You know Ruth, these people were smart enough to take over the country. It's not ignorance. They have definite agenda that they are putting in place. Think of the I.D. card for legal aliens. How the hell will anyone be able to tell a legal from an illegal if only legal aliens need i.d. cards. Pull over a Mexican and he'll say, no sir officer, I was born here, I don't need an i.d. card. So the result will be that we all will have to have i.d. cards. Once that happens it will be a simple matter to program all cash machines not to dish to a certain group. Or not to sell cigs or liquor to any woman between the ages of 12 and 55. I don't think Margaret Atwood meant for "the Handmaid's Tale" to be a blueprint.
I'm sorry, one more thing. Where the fuck are the libertarians. I've had to listen to their shit for decades about how gun ownership will prevent the government from intruding on our liberties. Now it's happening and they are nowhere to be found. Pussies.

A LOT of inertia, which seems kind of ironic considering the only thing going for Joementum is inertia. No one is saying Joementum represents me on the issues, which means Ned's already won the battle of ideas.

Lamont: The Debate is On

Up spring a queue of videos posted by bloggers who love Lamont and despise Lieberman.:::
:::Now search for "Joe Lieberman." Up spring a queue of videos posted by bloggers who ... love Lamont and despise Lieberman.:::
:::I agree. Internet politics may have the potential for even more abuse and dishonesty than broadcast politics. But unlike broadcast politics, it offers us the potential to reclaim our political system from the sell-outs and their Svengalis. That happy scenario may just be unfolding before Joe Lieberman's - and our own - eyes.:::
ql, I see clever manipulation by the goons of industry, but the cleverness is not evident in the cabal in the WH. Their motivation seems to be that they will be taken care of if they stand up as the good guys saving the country from immorality - while allowing total immorality by corporate bodies that do not have this country's interest at heart but only their maximization of profits. woo, all one sentence. Yes, there is good policy making for overthrow of public interest, but these guys are hired guns.

Ruth - Don't forget the dominionists. They are a real movement. they've teamed up with the neocons and corporatists only because they can't effectuate their plan on their own. One of their platforms is the complete subjugation of women. They don't call it that, but that is exactly what it is.
Stamford Advocate article on the vote
::: A Stamford native, Lieberman dominated the urban vote, winning 37 of 50 delegates in Stamford, 57 of 69 in his current hometown of New Haven and 43 of 54 in Hartford.
"I've known him forever," said Ellen Camhi, chairman of the Stamford Democratic Town Committee and a Lieberman supporter. "He's a good friend. He still has integrity. I'm very loath to throw out an incumbent unless he's done something egregious."
Lamont, who won 19 of Greenwich's 22 delegates, fared well in rural areas with fewer delegates. He won several small towns, including Kent, Bridgewater and Roxbury.
"The official Democratic Party is behind Lieberman," said Edward Krumeich Jr., a Greenwich delegate who supported Lamont. "It's the grass roots that are the Lamont supporters."
Lamont also made a strong showing in medium-sized cities such as New Britain (24 delegates to Lieberman's seven) and Norwalk (14 to eight).
Former Norwalk mayor Alex Knopp voted with the minority in that city, however, saying it was more important to keep the sitting Democrat in Washington.:::
I guess 2450 dead US soldiers isn't egregious.
Morning, Where INDEED are the Libertarians?
Morning, Where INDEED are the Libertarians?
BTW, I see Lieberman very much as a member of the innercircle, manipulating the liberal faction by lipservice [sorry, yep, I have Atrios' pic firmly in mind] while working in private for corporate interests.
dominionists seems to be naming a minor element, which as you note hasn't got enuff influence on its own, like the theologists [coined the term] whose interests get confused when the means to achieve them are dishonesty, ruin of the nation's economic status, fragmentation of society. I think they all recoil from the downfall of the US. not so corporate interests.
I guess suggesting traumatised women just get up and go to the next hospital to receive the medical treatment they want in their hour of need isn't egregious.

i work with a libertarian, he is disgusted with the economic chaos the thuglicans have instituted, and being a financier has no interest in ideological swordplay.
Ruth, I was not just thinking in terms of financial matters but what about the intrusion of the government on civil liberties? This would seem to be the place where their philosophy either stands or shuts up. So far they have simply been a bad part of the status quo.
Personal liberty must be at the foundation of their beliefs or they have no beliefs.

Few things get me going than "I lubs me an incumbent because he's an incumbent" shinola and the "I'm voting for him because my second cousin twice removed jogs with his dog's grooming stylist" crapola.
Voting on crap like that means the Democratic Party stands for NOTHING.
personal freedoms are usually seen by libertarian party advocacies as a platform item, like the Thug party's view of 'prolife' issues. practicing libertarians usually are flexible as long as their bank accounts are growing in the right direction. oops, you're seeing cynicism rampant here.
A TX lawyer who formerly clerked for Clarence Thomas is among several filing suit against AT&T under TX law, which prohibits release of phone records w'out court orders, and imposes fines. Big fun.

Come sit with me here in Cynical Corner.
I don't know about anyone else but my personal anger has crossed the Rubicon. The idea that somehow America supports this government has made me extremely angry.
There is nothing they will not say or do to maintain power: they lie, they cheat, they steal, they accuse good people of bad things, and excuse any behavior by their own.
This anger of mine has entered new territory. I am just no longer going to acquiesce.
The source of my anger is the ignorance of people NOT being angry. What is wrong with them? Not us. Them?
Laredo, TX is opposing building a fence, as an insult to Mexicans for one thing, and proposing a park area as buffer zone. And they're next to Nuevo laredo, that's experiencing drug wars.

Well I get majorly pissed at liberals who try to cut the InstaParrot slack for paying lipservice to gay rights and abortion rights, when the disin-glenn-uous one regularly goes out and pushes people like Scalito and Roberts for the SCOTUS and supports Dear Leader and the use of wedge issues like harming gay rights and abortion rights in order to gain/maintain power for "his guys".
It's like saying the Joementum hasn't done something egregious enough to get his tossed to the side of the road by the party.
That is disgusting.

And on the Newshour last night the consensus was that the NSA spying scandal will not go anywhere because the telecoms have issued blanket denials. See, all you have to have is a smokescreen, not even a good one. Just a few whiffs will do and pfft, trouble's all gone. Keep putting off the day reckoning, and the day may never come. After all, we have Lannie fucking Davis running around saying we shouldn't be playing "gotcha" politics.

But besides that the American credo is:
"I may be a scumbag but not as big a scumbag as you people who talk about politics".
Tom it reminds me of a losing side I took [ which later won, but after I left the political scene] regarding a MD Senator who misrepresented his areas interests and gained power with the faction in control, giving him a chairmanship of a powerful committee - which he then used in the interests of the powerful. His campaign appeal was that because he had power, he was better able to serve his constituents' interests. Able, yep. But in actuality he didn't and that defeated him but not nearly soon enuff.

I may be a scumbag because I am a racist, I kick dogs, support white phosphorus and unending war, don't mind 25% of the chilren in this country being hungry every night and without medical care or decent education but I am a better scumbag than you because you approve of sex.
Mexico, ACLU Preparing Lawsuit Against US Over Guard Deployment

A FReeper chuckles:
Heh heh. Tell it to most countries in the world. Russia for example has special tropps for border gurd duty. And they ahs rights to shoot violater on spot. So that is why so less violations of russian border.
I beleive the Mexico herself has such tropps on thier southern border.
¡Pobre FReeperro! No está bien de la cabeza.
Moe, the bleeping out may soon include any expressions of public interest, imho. Too partisan, and rude, too. In the TX suit, reading from the DMNews, lawyers representing inmates of Guantanamo pointing out their client relationships representing victims of this gov't are subject to spying if the laws aren't enforced.
Aw, did the widdle booby scare ya? What a sick fucking group.

I love watching men on the street surreptiously look at women. I even observed one guy, Orthodox Jewish, waiting at the bottom of subway steps until a woman came along wearing a short skirt. He then followed her up the stairs peeking at her underwear. While not all men are such peekers, all men look. I've even caught Mr. QL glancing at another woman. You guys have really perfected it so that you have to look hard to notice. I guess my point is, it is human nature and passing a few laws or fining some people aint gonna change it.
What are we supposed to do? Men are just wired to have sex on the brain nearly all the time. Always have been, always will be.
What's wrong with looking at women? I mean, so long as you aren't an ass about it.
Teachers' Inservice meetings tend to bring my anger to the forefront: yesterday was no different.
Teachers are among the stupidest of the stupid at this point. We accept blame for things we have no control over. That is dumb.
In every discussion at these events the theme is that teachers have failed their students and had better get THEIR act together because their jobs depend on it.
What a crock!
There are four factors in delivering quality education to students. There are the teachers, the administration, the parents, and the damned government.
Teachers have, by and large, done a good job. Adminstrators? What a bunch of wankers. In my district they will not mount a decent discipline policy and stick to it. Kids know this and will do anything they feel like doing knowing that the worst we can do is call their parents. They they give themselves double digit raises while cutting the salaries of anyone who actually does anything to help students. Fah!
Parents! In my district they are terrible. Whoring, drug abuse, and alcoholism are hardly the best examples, Eh? Sometimes I come home after work and just sit here in the dark and let the tears fall. This is after twenty five years of this. My God my students have such messed up lives. I have sexual abuse, physical abuse, psychological abuse, and every other kind of abuse imaginable: including religious visible in my students. (Ten of my students need extreme psychological intervention) Yet blame the parents for their failures? Unthinkable.
And the government: they have fought the public schools at every juncture. They refuse to provide adequate money. They demand fealty to worthless tests that test nothing other than the socio-economic status of their students. They have pared our funding down so far that we have to increase our class sizes to 31 next year. They have eliminated all reading specialists. The budget for supplies has been cut. No book money in the budget and so on.
Righteous anger is a good thing, right?
We call it a furtive glance. In search of the ever elusive beaver shot of life. You gals don't make things any easier with your angry reactions to our pathetic leering.

Men have 61 sex thoughts per minute, so one of them doesn't get the attention it deserves.
I have a friend who was horrified that Janet Jackson's little booby was exposed because she had placed her young daughters in front of the TV set to watch the football game. Why would a mother want to let her daughters watch such a violent, male, vicious game that represents in my mind the worst supposedly socially acceptable pastime this country has to offer and that influences and represents every aspect of what is sick in this society.
So swear at me!
Good morning. That is one hell of a picture to wake up to.
Ick.
moe, nothing wrong at all with looking. And lord knows the young women are giving you plenty to look at.
Then come the subway peepers, the droolers, but worst are the sewer lurkers.
Morning TJ and IB0313: sorry, my pissed off quotiont is over the top (and I am not even from NOLA whom my friend from the UK (on touring the place) called the SHAME of the world.
Frankly, ql, the women around here have gotten a little less attractive of late. Most of them gain ten or fifteen pounds over these Darwin-foresaken winters. But by July they'll be back in ogling condition.
DWD cites; 'They have eliminated all reading specialists. The budget for supplies has been cut. No book money in the budget and so on.'
Oh thank heaven for fiscal responsinsanity. So you didn't get out of the meeting better able to teach writing? Maybe they thought anger would spur on your efforts.
My SIL just lost her teaching job in LA, CA, because she didn't bring her students up to standard. I won't comment further on that one.
THAT'S RIGHT! THEM COMMIES ARE SMART. THEY DON'T HAVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO GO THERE. THEY ONLY HAVE TO SHOOT THE ONES TRYING TO LEAVE.

Morning, lb.
Me too.
btw, I left you a message the other day, but I got my Chris Rose book in the mail, read it one sitting, crying and laughing throughout.
Many many thanks.
DWD -- I'm amazed that teachers manage to teach at all with all the frustration and anger they must feel -- and yet the caring ones, like you obviously are, do.
When I moved to the conservative area where I now live I heard people say they weren't voting for school levies because they no longer had kids in school. They paid for theirs, they said, let the parents w/ kids in school now pay for their own.
I'm much angrier at these selfish -- and yes, stupid -- people than failing parents who were in turn failed when they were kids. With enough money schools really could intervene with creative, productive programs that help kids from chaotic homelives and help break those cycles. It's the selfish, finger-pointers who prevent this from happening.
.
Good Morning DWD
Not to worru! My friends who teach here won't speak to anyone for a week after in-service....
... or at least that is what they did when they had jobs
'But by July they'll be back in ogling condition.

That inspires an idea for a fitness campaign. Remote placement of parking facilities, extra taxes on HoHo's oh so many possibilities.
Oh TJ - I'm very glad...
We're all getting a bit more nuts here - and he's a fine voice for it
The look of love, from the movie Casino Royale.
I honestly think one of the most shocking thing about the wardrobe malfunction was the fact that
Ms, Jackson's nipple was pierced and she sported jewelry in it. Boobies are a staple in European tabloids on page 3. We new worlders just can't hack it.

You wouldn't believe the letters to the editor where I grew up (Sarasota). All the retired people complaining about how they already paid taxes in their home states to put their own kids through college. Ugh.
Merkin, Linda Chavez has been writing your stuff [she's on CSpan now, claiming that illegal immigration peaked during the Clinton admin, there're 25 or so % less 'trying to enter' the US.] These goons don't care what they say, since you have to have a minus-quality intellect to believe any of it.
such a violent, male, vicious game that represents in my mind the worst supposedly socially acceptable pastime this country has to offer and that influences and represents every aspect of what is sick in this society.
Wow. That's a little over the top.

My gym has started up this "strip aerobics" program, which apparently is all the rage of late. Teaches women how to pole dance, under the dubious claim that strippers are in great shape (some are, but a lot are simple meth heads). What's especially funny about this is the gym is caddy-corner to an old country & western bar that was bought up and turned into a stip club. The neighborhood is up in arms, trying to shut the place down, deny its liquor license, etc. Some of the board of the gym have spoken out against the actual strip club, while paying their employess to run the pretend strip club.
The Russians aren't going to like us nuking Iran.
Morning, rational people.
I've decided to push going to the office to tomorrow so today I can lie around reading DWD's book.
The whole notion of the social contract has come unstuck in this country. I have no kid, but I benefitted from the public schools and feel a responsibility to move the culture forward. Lots of folks just don't. And we all (mostly the kids) suffer
from such short-sighted thinking.
Damn... I did not plan on scratching my own eyes out first thing this morning. That's an alarming photo.
The writing specialists at least were told that their expectations for teachers were ridiculous. (at least by me. I explained patiently that for me to be effective in teaching writing it is necessary for me to sit with a student and show them what they were doing wrong. Since I am spending virtually all of my time trying to keep order, I have no time for this.)
Still, my final reading scores are in and I did a typical job: I went from 14 being "at risk" in reading to six. The overall reading scores showed an improvement of 40%. That is decent.
My goal for the future is to somehow last long enough to retire and then do a guest author stint at a school when I feel the need to teach something.
sorry, duh, that should have read "to put their own kids through school"
Good plan Diane
Moe, you have inspired the recall of Jamie Lee Curtis' pole dance with the bedstead in "True Lies".
Laugh out loud funny. Thanks!
"I'm amazed that teachers manage to teach at all with all the frustration and anger they must feel"
The entire system is designed to fail and to scapegoat teachers and that is the way the upper classes want it. As long as the schools are financed by property taxes and run locally without any real, intelligent federal standards, the schools will be terrible. It is all just another scam.
We also have to stop financing the private religious schools or any schools besides the public ones. That little thing has had a real down effect. Religious schools in general teach kids to be little republicans and to discriminate and to hate.
The Russians aren't going to like us nuking Iran.
As if anyone outside the crazies will.
Diane, Thank you for reading, I hope I don't disappoint. (I thought I was angry when I wrote that last summer, now I know that for a lie - I can get a lot angrier - sigh)

What part of vaporization and nuclear fallout don't these people understand?
All the retired people complaining about how they already paid taxes in their home states to put their own kids through college. Ugh.
As if their kids could have gotten a good education without all the taxes paid by other folks when their own were in school.
It leaves me incensed. Democracy depends on an informed electorate capable of making critical judgments. We're all invested in that.

Crazy like a foxbat.
The whole notion of the social contract has come unstuck in this country.
Exactly. The French have that. The reason their strikes work is because people are striking who may not even be affected by whatever proposed law they are striking against, but they know that if the working class sticks together, they have the power to force change. Solidarity. So, for example, this last law that really only affected young people, workers of all ages participated in the strike.
There is no solidarity in America. It's all me, me, me. I've got mine, fuck everybody else.
What part of vaporization and nuclear fallout don't these people understand?
For the mouth breathers, out of site (on the other side of the world) is out of mind.
They'll only get pissy when gas goes to $9.00/gal. because of Nuklur George's actions.

cs, art is bread |
Exactly so. That electorate is going to be making decisions that will affect my old age. I want them to make the right ones, just as my parents and grandparents expected me to.
It's called the social contract.
Um, flashcards. Now that's what I a public education...No wait, that's just a hooker.
I see that ActForLove gal is still advertising for dates over at Americablog. Shouldn't she have hooked up with someone by now?
The whole notion of the social contract has come unstuck in this country.
...it has only taken a few fascist-gop presidents to do it....but it could only work by catering to base-bigotry and racism already inherent in the sheeple (this bigots in congress)...bottom-line is that the rightward tilt is what is causing this shit: wars and uncaring at home....how fascist a country do you want to live in? (rhetorical)
i wonder about nukes hitting oil fields and the resulting Kuwait-style firestorm and black smoke x infinity.

Yes, Diane and cs (aib), that would be ideal, wouldn't it?
But we live in a country that disdains critical thinking and nuance as being snobby and intellectual. We live in a country where a majority of people believe in angels but where very few know what DNA is.
It's easier to govern ill-informed people. They swallow whole whatever people like Karl Rove tell them.
It is not enjoyable to wake up and see the image on this thread.

It sure is hard to watch.
Recently in the Economist there was an article about a study that determined that the best educational system in the world was in Finland and that was because everybody basically let the teachers alone plus gave them what they needed to run a school.
What a concept! Everybody including the kitchen sink seems to think they have a right to tell the teachers what to do.
Maria -- I agree completely. If a private school can't fund itself from tuitions and investments, it shouldn't exist, period. Same thing with all "faith-based" programming. Let churches fund their outreach efforts from their members' pockets and income management.
It is not enjoyable to wake up and see the image on this thread.
As Atrios says every Sunday morning: "Document the Atrocities!"
Moe, I'm thinking of setting up the Kama Sutra physical dev't ctr, maybe I can get gov't funding if I let the homeless in during the night.
And yes, that kind of thinking is ruining the social contract [like that ligation? to uase merkin's language skills] Dems risk losing their ethical integrity because they keep losing under the rampaging Thuglican lying, cheating, stealing campaigns. We just can't go that route.
People use schools as free day-care and don't expect to have to pay for that.
btw, DWD, if you're still here, I managed to start reading your book yesterday. Got about halfway through it. Will probably finish it today, unless I am dragooned into yardwork =o
Give a student a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a student to croupier or deal Blackjack and you've given him a part-time job.
Nim, I gather it did not suck, then? (Thanks for reading. BTW, it means the world to me. And no, I am not kidding. A writer without an audience is just a nutcase.)
But on the HPV vaccine front, the FDA advisory panel unanimously decided to recommend approval. Since men transmit HPV thru intercourse to women, the panel suggests boys be vaccinated as well.
Merkin, Linda Chavez could be your idol. She just explained the illegal houseworker as an abused wife who would have been homeless if she hadn't selflessly taken her in and let her live off the one thing she knew how to do.
Barf. No one can seriously think these cretins are capable of governing.
Next Up For Invasion: Burma???
Depressing diary over at DKos from thereisnospoon, but probably very realistic assessment of our electoral chances, IMO, if we don't get our act together:
2006 will be a major disappointment. So will 2008. (The difference between fighting back and taking a stand.)
But on the HPV vaccine front, the FDA advisory panel unanimously decided to recommend approval. Since men transmit HPV thru intercourse to women, the panel suggests boys be vaccinated as well.
plantsman, lowercase
Just because the advisory panel recommends something doesn't mean the FDA will actually approve it.
The same recommendation was made for the morning after pill, and the FDA refused approval.
Until we get this regime out, and that includes all of its appointees, we're going to suffer.
The whole rethug conspiracy is to starve the beast and keep them ignorant and they think the beast is--the people who don't belong to their club. It is amazing to me that the entire world is run by a few people who have all the money and power and who plan to keep it. The people need to wise up.
Maria, word.
I think of these Republican politicians spending weekends at resorts that cost 20K a night. What is 20K?
For 20K you could actually make it possible for someone to go to college.
For 20K you could actually buy enough books for an entire school for a year.
For 20K you could fund tutors for an entire school in an afterschool program.
check your picture box turtles.
Give a student a fish and he eats for a day.
He should catch it from his own well-stocked lake, like Chimpy does. No free lunches, please.
"If the movie is correct, then Jesus is not God, then Christianity doesn't have a savior," says the Rev. Erwin Lutzer, pastor of the Moody Church in Chicago and author of The Da Vinci Deception.
pretty much sums it up in my opinion - otherwise i am forced to believe shit from more than 1500 years ago (when they wrote the bible), of which there is little to no proof - the fucking vatican is more secretive than skull and bones - why be soo fucking secretive...if you have absolute proof - show us, otherwise those of us who are not brainwashed will continue to be skeptics...
this all coming from someone brought up catholic and who went to catholic school for 12 years, was an altar boy and read scripture in church...can't wait to go to hell for my blasphemy!
A FReeper chuckles:
Heh heh. Tell it to most countries in the world. Russia for example has special tropps for border gurd duty. And they ahs rights to shoot violater on spot. So that is why so less violations of russian border.
I beleive the Mexico herself has such tropps on thier southern border.
Boy is he in for a shock when the grammer police visit and he learns English is the legal language of 'Merika.
Hope he doesn't get one of them liberal judges.
"Nim, I gather it did not suck, then?"
I'm enjoying it. I usually hold off judgments until I'm done with a book, though.
But it's creative and interesting so far.
(Although, truth be told, my inner pedantic editor is jarred out of the suspension of disbelief when I come across typos; found a few already)
The damning UN report on Guantanamo and US policy on torture is another lump in the necklace of feces this nation's reputation is now wearing.
It's getting tough to be shocked. Bushco's response? "We kin dew whutever the hell we wont!"
