I'm not sure what the latest numbers are, but I do know that Tarrant is throwing ass loads of money at the campaign. He's trying to buy off students with free laptops. All sorts of stuff. I also know that there is a little concern just because Bernie is thought of as such a shoe-in that there isn't the kind of support a true grassroots campaign really needs.

Happy Birthday! Matt Cutts at Google has asked me comment at various blogger blogs. I hope that's cool with you. Now let me propose that when it's your birthday you might not be aching to authorize the invasion of sovereign nations. You might be very happy eating cake and opening presents and forgetful of your nation's principles. At such moments, it's really important to reflect upon the sheer destructive power of America's military arsenal, keeping that power close at hand and making it work for you.

Yeah, Lieberman is like a Made Man who is a bit of a loose cannon, but still in good standing with the bosses.
It's as if the puny progressive arm of the party is wrestling with the dominant centrist pragmatic arm. Presumably the schmucks you name would argue that it is the anti-Lieberman rabble which is on the wrong side of history.
My arm/arm-wrestling metaphor is strained to the extent that in the interests of verisimilitude, the fingers would switch around from one hand to the other. By which I meantersay that a given Democrat can be aligned with progressive interests one day, then squarely in the service of reaction in the next. And vice-versa.

fucking blogger won't bring up my post unless you refresh, so here it is.
Despite the fact that the maladministration has proven itself to be totally inept, time after time, it is important to remember that they have definite agenda. And that agenda is being enacted as we blog. Think of the I.D. card for legal aliens. How the hell will anyone be able to tell a legal Mexican resident from an illegal. Think about it. Pull over a Guatamalen and he'll say, no sir officer, I was born here, I don't need an i.d. card. How will anyone know. The upshot will be i.d. cards for everyone. We couldn't just have cards for brown people. Once that happens it will be a simple matter to program the cards to keep track of your movements and spending habits. Let's go one step further. The FDA has decided that menstruating women should be considered pre-pregnant. With the handy dandy i.d. card it will be easy enough to program the card not to 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.

Lieberman is a DINO hack who is in it for the millions he'll make during his tenure. Too bad he'll be contributing to trillions in damage to our economy, and the deaths of troops and Iraqi people.

They don’t look at the economy and say, 'life is good.' They know we’re at war. And I’m not surprised that people are unsettled because of war. The enemy’s got a powerful tool — that is to get on your TV screen by killing innocent people. And my job is to continue to remind the people it’s worth it. We’re not going to retreat hastily.

how the fuck do these people get appointed to such influential academic posts following on the carnage they are responsible for. -- linda
How 'bout that? I'll have to put this under Occam's Microtome, but one can't help but wonder if our government is run by representatives of an elite and wealthy class of citizens, and that this larger community of elites warmly accomodates the interests of their fellows in government.
It seems obvious enough that our politicians are drawn from the moneyed class-- old and new, respectively. A dynastic political aristocracy (Bush, Kennedy, Clinton) and a retinue of wealthy persons-- reflected most plainly in the Senate.
So it's another variation of the Made Man theory. Once you're in, the bosses have your back as long as you don't screw up your responsibilities to them. Sinecures in prestigious universities, corporations, institutions, foundations, and law firms are genially shared and dispensed according to need.
Any little irregularities, not to say blemishes, in the candidate's CV are invariably downplayed or overlooked. The employers are either uninterested in past indiscretions, up to and including criminal convictions, or are aware of the warts and are OK with them. The point here is redemption and rehabilitation, so why kick a fellow when he's down? What are fellow elites for? Isn't class loyalty the marrow of civilization?
And like that, hypothetically.

Keep believing that. There are fish, but if you pull them out and compare them with fish taken from other waters or from taxonomy books you'll see lots of anomalies in their structure.
The Blackfoot is still polluted. In fact the Milltown dam which is being removed will be releasing a plume of the previously mentioned mining pollutants downstream. It's in the sand and mud in the bottom of the river. Some samples show the river to be clean, but do the sample again, you you'll find the cyanide coper and arsenic in unsafe quantities..

It's not polluted anymore, not bad anyway, the fish populations are healthy and strong.
Here's an article I googled from a website called "Montana River Action"
Removing The Dam At Milltown, Montana
The federal Environmental Protection Agency expects Milltown Dam to be dismantled in the winter of 2006-2007. Then comes the disposal of 6,600,000 cubic yards of toxic waste mud from 160 years of mining and smelting in Butte and Anaconda
It's not polluted any more, except for nearly 7 million cubic yards of toxic sludge. No wonder Grandma's mind is so polluted.

That river got polluted back in the seventies, rebouned maginificently in the eighties.
That's not correct, the pollution sources started way back in the mid to late 1800's and continued through modern times. The mining operations in Butte of course are much smaller now. There still are mining operations going on all over Montana, and still are releasing from current and past operations into the Blackfoot. You see my father was an engineer who worked on some of these problems, in Butte, Annaconda, Coal Strip, Phosphate, etc.

BUSH: Because we're at war, and war unsettles people. We got-listen, we've got a great economy. We've added 5.2 million jobs in the last two-and-a-half years. But there's a-but people are unsettled. They don‘t look at the economy and say life is good. They know we're at war and I'm not surprised that people are unsettled because of war.
The enemy has got a powerful tool, and that is to get on your TV screen by killing innocent people, and my job is to continue to remind the people it's worth it. We're not going to retreat hastily.

Check out Queensryche for a more "thinking man's metal band". I wouldn't call them metal, per se, but they're incredibly tight and have a great social conscience in their lyrics. "Operation:Mindrime" is all about government/media/religious corruption during the Reagan years.

The Pixies usually get stuck with label, "alternative rock." I have even seen the term "protopunk" used for them, which messes with the space-time continuum. Such labels are so useless these days ("alternative" to what?), except perhaps to put together these lists we love so much--as for The Pixies, I'll just stick with "essential."

Ok, but with Hendrix at 3 and Sab at 2 that's pretty much the same rating.
Sabbath had a major influence on the metal of the 80's (as did Zep and Jimi along with Aerosmith). I think that's where the rating came from as the folks interviewed about the band were all 80's metal players.

Billyb:
Re: hard rock.
IMHO, the term is obsolete and
archaic, and only describes certain
music from the 60s. In any case, a lot
of those we used to call hard rock
bands we now call something else --
the Northwest groups
we now call garage punk were
considered hard rock back in the day.
I think the best examples of what
the term originally meant were Paul
Revere and the Raiders (particularly
"Just Like Me" and "Steppin' Out").
Probably the purist example would
be the single version of "Jumpin' Jack
Flash." The first two Steppenwolf
albums also qualify. Other than that --
I can't think of a lot. The McCoys,
maybe. Or the occasional Beatles
track on the White Album -- "Me and
My Monkey," maybe.
Basically, it means loud guitars in
the service of not especially blues-based rock with
little or no pop overlay.
But Hendrix? Sabbath? Blue Oyster
Cult? Deep Purple? Don't think so...
they're a whole other thing.

Corny as it is, my first love was KISS, playing air (and tennis) guitar to their first live album.
I used red food coloring and water to practice "spitting up" blood--and wondering how I could get my tongue to be as long as Gene Simmons (paging Dr. Freud, adolescent inadequacies on line two).
Once I saw them live in full regalia, including the rising platforms, however, my interest peaked, and then I moved on to more serious music geekery.

I think you'll do just fine, NTodd. For some inexplicable reason, you remind me of my first husband, who is a truly wonderful human being for whom I wish all things good. I really don't know why you remind me of him sometimes - he's German, moved to Miami when he was 12 and grew up there, now living in NYC - but there's something about your posts that makes me think of him. I don't know you well (okay, at all), but I know that the ex is one of the most honest, genuine, caring, loving people I've ever had the honor to know. He's now happily remarried and, I hope, well on his way to exercising his own talents as a proud papa. So, however odd or misplaced the comparison might seem, I promise it's intended to be a compliment.

Boone putting on that leather vest may have been the moment when space-time fractured, and we've been trapped in a hellish alternate universe ever since.
Meanwhile, we're going to have to fight off people like Ms. Chesler, who is something of a puzzle. As one of the first professors teaching women's studies in the United States, she appears to have been one of those unfortunate former liberal souls who flipped into Islamaphobia in the wake of 9/11 and began publishing at National Review and with David Horowitz at Front Page magazine...
[She argues that] "instead of telling the truth about Islam and demanding that the Muslim world observes certain standards, you have westerners beating their breasts and saying, 'We can't judge you, we can't expose you, we can't challenge you.'
Ms. Chesler, if I may: Democratic women judge them. We expose them. We challenge them. We just don't happen to think bombing the Muslim world back to the stone age - with the women we profess to care about in them - is any sort of acceptable solution, no matter how loud you scream the charge, "hypocrite."

I wonder if that's where I see the resemblance -- we used to go to the Stowe area every year. Good friends have a house in Waitsfield, so we often stayed there.
Trivial aside (from my trivial comments) re: the von Trapps -- when they first came to our then-immigrant-friendlier shores, the von Trapps wound up in the Philly area. My grandfather, a hairdresser, cut Maria von Trapp's hair till they moved to NTodd country.
When he was feeling polite, he called her a pushy broad. When he was feeling less so (or was onto his second Manhattan), he called her other things but they were mostly in gutter Sicilian so I don't really know what he meant.
The turtles are confused as well.
