I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

I'm really shocked. I don't have a special method like Nim.
Nim has a special method?
I want one!
Something is hinky. It says atrios posted this 20 minutes ago and there are no comments. Weird.
Hi Eli - Glad you're not in a bad mood.
Here's why the DC media is broken:
"June 2, 2006 - When Karen Hughes returned to Washington last August to head the State Department’s public-diplomacy effort, a position that had been left vacant for months, America’s standing in the world was at a low point. “I thought things couldn’t get much worse,” she said at a cocktail reception Wednesday for the International Women’s Forum.
Gore seems to get just about everything these days.
Can we just elect him now and save time?
Hi Eli - Glad you're not in a bad mood.
Yeah? And how would *you* know?
If Gore gets the nod I will feel very good about our nominee.
Hi Eli - Glad you're not in a bad mood.
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

No, Al, he's not. Curiosity is a prerequisite to intelligence.
Or is that wisdom?

Take off, hoser.
Gore's such a decent man - the Dems need a candidate who wants to spill blood, take no prisoners and shout the truth from the rooftops - kerry clinton don't qualify either - I think Gen. Clark qualifies - warner and the like will just try and claim the middleground -
I like Gore more & more every time I see/read/hear him. If he doesn't win, I'll be sore for sure.

And in the American system, the president of the United States is the only person who is charged with representing all of the people in every state in every district and looking after the welfare of the people as a whole.
Can we pound this into the forehead of every Beltway journalist, pundit, and pooh-bah until they begin to understand it?

HOW do these people keep showing their faces in public? he asked rhetorically.
"I'm a working Mom, too..."
O, piss on you!
Don't you piss on my Rory. Fuck you, beyotch!
If Gore were running for president, he wouldn't be so bracingly honest. This is the price we pay for a system which rewards for the artistry of a candidate's evasions.
Maybe we're all guilty of being overvigilant regarding our own beliefs. But making candidates responsible for not disturbing our mental torpor is the most damning aspect of democracy today.
Gore's such a decent man - the Dems need a candidate who wants to spill blood, take no prisoners and shout the truth from the rooftops - kerry clinton don't qualify either - I think Gen. Clark qualifies - warner and the like will just try and claim the middleground -
Actually, I think Gore is just about right. He's decorous and polite and well-spoken, but he isn't pulling any punches. I like it.

More and more I'm beginning to see why there was no way in hell they ever would have allowed Gore to become president.

America’s standing in the world was at a low point. “I thought things couldn’t get much worse,” she said at a cocktail reception"

Bush is such a colossal tower of flaming diseased green baby excrement that merely tactfully describing him without any attacks leaves him stinking to all honest noses.

That is Dean's job. Really, I think Gore needs to be subtle with the knife, and Dean needs to scream a war cry as he leaps into the melee with his battleaxe dripping with rhetorical blood. Dean is the Berserker, Gore is the Assassin.

"That's a real mystery to me because he's clearly a smart man."
Not all "men" are smart. I suspect Bu$h is one of those with a photographic memory. He can remember everything, but curiosity is not something one can memorize. Could explain the why.
And if the special interest has one view, at least you should ask questions about how the public interest is affected, and I really do not know why he is so incurious.
Al, your heart is just too big, He's not incurious, he's plain stoopid.

Careful, that might cause a rift in the space-time continuum. Or at least give me a nasty headache.

As crazy as Bush sounds to sane people, to the ignorant he is diginfied and tactful, and so the Rethuigs have this organized setup where an outlier like Hannity can talk bluntly and his mental brother in Washington is subdued. This division would help Democrats so long as they ignore the media's willful misunderstanding.
he asked not a single question.
And Shrubbery said that as President, he was the one who got to ask all of the questions. So what is doing? He's decidinating and strategerizing but no one can ask him questions and he doesn't ask questions. How do the answers get there if no one asks questions?

Al, your heart is just too big, He's not incurious, he's plain stoopid.
He doesn't have any street smarts. That's what happens when you have had people run interference for you your whole life.
I suspect Bu$h is one of those with a photographic memory.
There is a story about him being at a business school class, where the first day's assignment was to meet and greet all classmates, and in the end he was the only one who recalled every name and face. A warped, perverted intelligence like that would explain the lopsided confidence.
Vice Pres. GORE: I guess what surprises me most is his incuriosity. That's a real mystery to me because he's clearly a smart man.
jeez, Al, the answer is so easy I can't believe you haven't snapped yet - he's lazy. I mean bone lazy.
He won't take the fucking trouble to be curious.
Oops, here's the source of the quote.

"See, that's the interesting thing about being commander-in-chief, I don't have to explain my decisions to anybody. Maybe they have to explain themselves to me"

Snow,
He has to hold news conferences where questions can be asked...which he doesn't, therefore, he doesn't have to answer questions.

That's only because nobody at Haahhhvahhhhd was named 'Mahmoud Ahmadinejad'.
"He's clearly a smart man, but it is a puzzle that he would ask no questions about important matters"
Because he can't think for himself. His brain is [drug] fried. He is really one of the most incompetent people I have ever seen.

Aaaand then there's this...

Fuckin'a, Bubba.
Gore disqualifies himself from being president by his judgment that "Bush is clearly an intelligent man."
“I thought things couldn’t get much worse,”
But with Karen on the job, we'll find out that they can.
"Basically said that it was impossible to speak simple truth about Bush & the Republicans without sounding terribly insulting and shrill."
--Eli
Just because it's shrill, doesn't mean it's not true.
I think people (not just progressives) would vote for Gore (as they did the first time around) because he does not come across as "too far to the left." Even though I think he he's more of a lefty than Clinton ever was, he has a presidential aura about him that I think appeals to many different types of people.
And, Al - can't you see how insecure he is? It sticks out all over.
He knows at heart that he's a LOSER and that he's in over his head.
Still waiting for chile, WGG!
frankly, I don't see why he should be surprised about Bush's 'lack of curiosity'. after all, it was a known fact the guy, with all his advantages, had only been out of the country a couple of times in his whole life.
people who are/were surprised Bush was/is this much of a goon just weren't Paying Attention.
We know Bush has read and studied Bernard Goldberg's Bias.
Strange, but that made me remember when I was little, and my brother was asleep on the couch. In his sleep he yelled out, "I'll piss on the wall, and I'll piss on you!"
I had friends in college that rented a house and one of them was a sleepwalker. He sleep-pissed on the stereo, the Xmas tree, down the furnace register...
Good times...

Exactly. Even hearing his voice, you can simply smell the fear. He is terrified at being found out for the pathetic little man he is.

All time faves! I love that movie so much. I love seeing Hamlet from the outside in like that.
Dreyfuss was fun. I loved Oldman so much in that that it's hard, but I really loved Tim Roth and thought he stole it.
Gosh we almost agreed completely there. Whew, that was close.

APaT engaging jack, now!?
Oh, the hilarity!
Even hearing his voice, you can simply smell the fear.
I don't think that's fear you're smelling on his breath, unless you're using Cockney rhyming slang.
If not Gore, then Edwards.
I take Gore at his word, he has no intention of leading the charge again.
What Gore is doing, and doing quite well, is pointing out Bush's lack of civility. Gore kindly calls it incuriousity; it is more incivility born of indifference to people who "don't count" in Bush's little account book of folks Bush needs to pay back.
Great film, great actors.
It's a funky play. Wish I'd seen it on stage, but the flick certainly did a lovely job with the staging. I dig existential shit anyway, so I'm a sucker for it.

"That's a real mystery to me because he's clearly a smart man. He has a different kind of intelligence, as everybody does. There's so many varieties of intelligence. He's clearly a smart man, but it is a puzzle that he would ask no questions about important matters. "
cf Howard Gardner and his taxonomies of multiple intelligence.
beginning in the 80s, when the first really acrimonious debates over testing began to gather momentum, and in the teeth of ""A Nation At Risk," Gardner started to raise the issue of how it could be fair that test scores in only two ways of theorizing the world--literary and mathematico-deductive--were deemed determinative in limiting or expanding the life-choices of students with infinitely variable capacities and interests.
he postulated that intelligence could better be understood as a framework within which the operations an individual could successfully navigate their environments. originally, he posited 7 modes of intelligence: literary, mathematico-deductive, kinesthetic, musical, plastic/dimensional, interpersonal, and intrapersonal (reflective).
he made no claim that any or all of these were mutually exclusive; only that individuals shaped their 'intelligence' from their own reservoirs of ALL those complex ways of interacting with and finally constructing their worlds...
the extent thaqt Gardner has been demonized by the 'educational psycho-me(re)tricians' is a good index of the pratical sensibility which Gardner's theorizing represents...

Well, it certainly was a bit risky.

I'd still rather have a beer with the colossal tower of flaming diseased green baby excrement, since you asked.
Bush has the smarts of a born conman -- which a lot of alcoholics do as they as they make their way through life trying to cover for their drinking. He reminds me of an old boss I had -- a really talented television director who was much more interested in scamming people than in directing. The last time I saw him, he'd just been busted on a bad check charge out of Florida.

Shakespeare buffs: If you've not seen "The Compleat Works of Wm Shakespeare, Abridged," either on stage or on film, DO SO NOW!
I saw it twice on stage, then got it via Netflix. When first watching it with M, we were laughing so hard our cats picked up the energy and wound up tearing down our curtains.
It is that funny. (And M isn't all that into Shakespeare, either.)
I'd be more biased, but those lazy clothing manufactures refuse to cut the cloth that way.

Thanks for the confirmation! Photo-memory types piss me off fiercely!

talking bout Shakespeare
Romeo, according to one 14-year-old sitting his Shakespeare test, drowned on the Titanic. Another teenager, asked to explain how Shakespeare handled the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet, said: "They jump in the swimming pool."
These are just some of the howlers made by secondary school pupils answering questions about Shakespeare in national curriculum tests for 14-year-olds.
The first respondent had obviously confused Leonardo DiCaprio's starring roles in Romeo + Juliet and Titanic. The second pupil had taken the director Baz Luhrmann's modern film version - in which the balcony scene is set in a Los Angeles apartment block, complete with swimming - as gospel. And, according to his teacher, probably never bothered read the original text by the Bard. The teacher said: "Watching films of the plays doesn't always pay off."
Gore doesn't need no interviews with the Nagourneys of the press. None of the Dems should grant favors to the lying press. Any entree is an invitation to being knifed in the back. Terri Gross was pretty good, except for the "why were you so boring in 2000?" part. But then in the Willy Nelson interview which followed she had to slip into her obsession with the grotesque, so had to swtch her OFF.
Except for ponies. Holden still gets all of those. And the selfish bastard won't share.

Bush's individual intelligence is clearly literary and verbal.
Mr. QL has total recall of almost every chess game he has played going back to his first tournement in 1960. He has a working knowledge of 7 languages including Russian and enough Japanese to read Go books. He also forgets to brush his hair or to keep dental appointments. And he is quite smart.

NOTE: should be treated with respect after opening. it should not stand neglected for long, and should be eaten pretty quickly. this means--unless you eat it like i do--decanting the bottles upon opening, using some and freezing the rest until needed...
lemme know if you need some...
i can also supply pinon coffee: $12 for 2.5 lbs, plus shipping...
I do love Tim Roth
my best friend and I once bumped into him (literally) as we were all rushing in from the pouring rain, late one night in a bar in the East Village.
He was very charming, all the more so because he was dripping wet.
and I really do not know why he is so incurious.
i do. and gore is right, bush ain't exactly stupid.

Oh yes, wonderful as straight man to Oldman in R&G, and I loved him in Res Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Bodies, Rest and Motion, too.
i've only seen Tim Roth in Reservoir Dogs
oh and Pulp Fiction

I have.
But see, I really love Tupac, too, so Gridlocked is my fave Roth movie.
There's a scene after Roth gets shot when Tupac tells him to stab him in the stomach so they can both get into the hospital. Roth rears back and stabs him, and Tupac yells "Ow, goddamn that hurt. Shit you didn't even break the skin. Do it again." And this keeps going and every time Tupac howls like a little kid and cusses like crazy until finally Roth manages to break the skin.
It's fucking hilarious to watch. I know I probably don't type it that funny.

yeah, they have to spend quite a lot of time putting on a convinving image to make people believe in them and not see the truth they are covering up.
my best friend and I once bumped into him (literally) as we were all rushing in from the pouring rain, late one night in a bar in the East Village.
He was very charming, all the more so because he was dripping wet.

I can't tell you how jealous I am. He's a doll.
Back from grocery hell. Is everybody still down in the sumps?
He isn't smart. Instinctually he is mean and dangerous like a hyena.
we were laughing so hard our cats picked up the energy and wound up tearing down our curtains.
rorschach -- thanks. My first good laugh of the day. And believe me, I needed it.
Gridlock'd is a great film, agreed. And Tupac really was something else. I've always kinda known that, but teaching at the local HBC has really clued me in...

And, another testament to the movie: When the curtain rod fell on our heads, we didn't stop laughing, and didn't pause the DVD!

You are failing to speak for me.
The war in Iraq has become so unpopular that it could cost Republicans control of Congress, statehouses and governor races around the country, national pollster John Zogby said Friday.
He said 70% of voters believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction, adding, “I have never seen a number like that since I’ve been polling.”

The part I didn't like in the interview was where he said he never believed these sorts of things (torture, spying) would be happening in American and that there wouldn't be outrage.
It should be common sense in this country that we have the protection of the constitution because simple outrage is not and has never been sufficient to counter gross abuse. Otherwise, the benevolent rule of the majority would be sufficient in a Democracy.
Many of us were surprised to see it happen now with this president, but none of us should be surprised that it can happen here.
Afternoon all. You forgot the Planet of the Apes remake.
No. No, we didn't. That movie sucked a baboon's flaming red ass. Roth couldn't save it, nor could Heston, nor Warner, nor Marky Mark, nor Helena Bonham Carte, nor even that blonde chick who can't act her way out of my bedsheets.

Poor dear.
my brother went to see Planet of the Apes with a couple of makes.
said it was one of the worse times spent in a cinema.
he really said some nasty things about it, which I forget, but he hated it.
looking up Tim Roth on IMDB, I see that he played a character called "Rupert Pupkin" in a movie called "The Other Side". Is this a clever allusion to the King of Comedy?

Old news by now I'm sure, but an interesting piece in the NYTimes on some of the 29%ers, these in Utah. I think there is an important point in this:
The redemptive narrative that Mr. Bush has often told about his life — a frequent drinker who found God and his political purpose in early middle-age — has greater resonance here than in other parts of the country. And people say they are willing to overlook major problems, or not blame Mr. Bush for trouble spots, because they like his personality.
I hope Lakoff and Dean manage to pound the importance of constructing a coherent narrative into the national party before it's too late. OTOH, here are some other direct quotes from people in the article:
"I like George Bush because he is God fearing, and that's how a lot of people in this area feel." "I'm against the war in Iraq — and what happened with Hurricane Katrina, well, it was a failure by everybody.... I tend to judge a person by their character. And President Bush reminds me of President Reagan. He's a man of principle." "I'm not sure of anything he's done, but I like that he's religious — that's really important." "I like his honesty."
Sigh.

Fierce factional fighting has erupted outside the lawless Somali capital between Islamist fighters and a secular commanders' alliance, killing at least five people and shattering a brief lull.
Aljazeera's correspondent in Mogadishu, Ehab al-Alfi, reported that 15 people were killed and 40 others wounded in clashes that erupted on Saturday.
Fighting in the centre of Mogadishu had tapered off but the battleground had shifted 30km north of the Somali capital, he said.
AFP reported quoting witnesses that the warring factions pounded each other on Saturday with heavy machine guns and grenades in the village of El Arfid, about 20km north of Mogadishu, where the two sides have been battling for control of a key road.

Archaeologists studying an ancient mosaic found by workers laying cable south of Rome have been astonished to discover that it is an optical illusion.

Roberto Cereghino, a government archaeological official, told the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera that it was "a very beautiful work, of immense significance".
He said it appeared to be a depiction of Bacchus.

It's mind-boggling how anyone, much less someone interested in becoming President of the United States can have so little curiousity about the world. It's human nature to wonder why. Why is the sky blue? Why do the stars shine only at night? These are things we've all that about as children. An increase in height does not decrease someone's need to question. You are particularly lazy if you have people willing to compile answers to your questions. That is my greatest problem with the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

And until we have a narrative to build on and can get it out to the media and have the media play along we are fucked.
the cult of Bacchus was restricted in 186 BC after riots but was not banned outright.
the cult of Isis was also frequently suppressed during the first century BC as well.
I seem to recall he did, but perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my part.
The 1984 one had the female Godzilla with ber babies, right?
No, that was the Roland Emmerich atrocity from 1998 with Matthew Broderick. They actually based that Godzilla on Sarah Jessica Parker. True story.

Just so folks know, "American Proud and True" is a Republican paid troll. Scott Flanders' ("American Proud and True") company "Freedom Communications, Inc. is owned by The Blackstone Group which is owned by Lockheed.
Lockheed is interested in CSC's government contracts, which include information technology consulting and the development of vaccines through a joint venture in Frederick, sources with knowledge of the talks said.
The discussions with Lockheed and the three private equity firms -- Warburg Pincus LLC, Blackstone Group and Texas Pacific Group -- just began, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions are at an early stage.
A deal would significantly increase Lockheed's government information technology business, where it is already the largest competitor in a field that includes giants such as Northrop Grumman Corp. and General Dynamics Corp. It would also help Lockheed diversify from its better-known work of making fighter jets and satellites, profitable businesses that are expected to be squeezed by tight defense budgets.
Lockheed has tried in recent years to emphasize its information technology work, which ranges from a recent contract to develop an information processing system for the 2010 census to a contract to build an electronic archiving system for the National Archives and Records Administration

Rakovsky—Have you not felt this intuitively ? Have you not noticed how in Marx words contradict deeds ? He declares the necessity and inevitability of Capitalist contradictions, proving the existence of surplus value and accumulation, i.e. he proves that which really exists. He nimbly invents the proposition that to a greater concentration of the means of production corresponds a greater mass of the proletariat, a greater force for the building of Communism, is that not so ? Now go on : at the same time as this assertion he founds the International. Yet the International is, in the work of the daily struggle of the classes, a “ reformist,” i.e. an organization whose purpose is the limitation of the surplus value and, where possible, its elimination. For this reason, objectively, the International is a counter-revolutionary organization and anti-Communist, in accordance with Marx’s theory.
G.—Now we get that Marx is a counter-revolutionary and an anti-Communist.
Rakovsky—Well, now you see how one can make use of the original Marxist culture. It is only possible to describe the International as being counter-revolutionary and anti-Communist, with logical and scientific exactness, if one does not see in the facts anything more than the directly visible result, and in the texts only the letter. One comes to such absurd conclusions, while they seem to be obvious, when one forgets that words and facts in Marxism are subject to strict rules of the higher science : the rules of conspiracy and revolution.
The neo-con marxists in nutshell...
Mystery cults introduced before later republic Bacchus, Asklepios (293 after plague), Cybele introduced for ‘Roman’ reasons (204 for use against Hannibal)
Isis (+Horus, Serapis) evidence of her at Puteoli by 105 BC and appeared in Rome in 86 BC (Sulla consul) – associated with Cybele; appeal for women in role as wife and mother >< dominated by lower class men
Just so folks know, "American Proud and True" is a Republican paid troll.

Not only is Commander Codpiece an alcoholic, he is a dry drunk. He's never been in a treatment program that could adequtely address is problem. He relies upon his faith (of which I have never seen any clear evidence that he possesses)to curb any craving he may have for alcohol. Factor in that he has one of the most high pressure jobs in the world and it's a recipe for disaster. Witness that past 6 years.

- Intro. of Cybele and Asclepius to assist Rome.

Speaking of that trust-fund train wreck, it occurs to me that with the whole "death tax" "estate tax"; isn't "estate tax" already a euphemism for the more honest and appropriate "inheritance tax"? and should we start calling this "The Paris Hilton Tax Break"?
Speaking of the Eye of Horus, King Tut’s body went through a detailed CT scan last year, which uncovered that the penis wasn’t missing at all, but “lay loose in the sand around the king’s body.”

TORONTO(AP) Canadian authorities said Saturday they had foiled plans for terrorist attacks in southern Ontario with the arrests of 17 people who were "inspired by al-Qaida."
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they had arrested 12 male adults and five youths on terrorism-related charges, including plotting attacks with explosives on Canadian targets. The suspects were either citizens or residents of Canada and had trained together, they said.
"This group took steps to acquire three tons of ammonium nitrate and other components necessary to create explosive devices," said assistant Royal Canadian Mounted Police commissioner Mike McDonell.
It looks like Harper's busy at work whipping up fear. Yeah, let's bring them into the "fold." Osama said he'd specifically leave countries like Canada alone.

Even the wingnut at work admitted that they had to think of something or they were going to lose. And they can't fix more than 30 districts without word getting out. So there is room for hope.

Tech services giant hires Goldman Sachs to explore possible sale, as it cuts 5,000 jobs.
April 4, 2006
Computer Sciences Corporation said Tuesday it has received several “expressions of interest” in buying the company and has retained Goldman Sachs to act as its financial advisor.
CSC has been exploring several deals in recent months. In January, CSC was in talks with Hewlett-Packard and the Blackstone Group, a private equity firm, to buy CSC and break it into two divisions (see HP May Buy CSC Stake).
Last October, the Blackstone Group was reportedly in talks with Lockheed Martin and two other private equity firms, Warburg Pincus and the Texas Pacific Group, to buy CSC (see Lockheed Leads $12B CSC Bid).
CSC has been having a good run lately. Last week, the company announced $639 million in 71 federal government contracts, 26 of them with the Department of Defense. The company also announced last month a contract with the U.S. Army that could bring it $1.5 billion over the next decade.

I noticed on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me on NPR this week they mentioned the Reid ticket nonissue, and managed to point out that *he did not vote in the interests of the promoters,* a point I didn't see much elsewhere.
Like the hoopla years back about Krugman once having received some kind of consultant money from Enron. Yeah, I remember all those glowing columns Krugman wrote about how great and totally non-corrupt Enron was...

He didn't do one thing that really was unethical.
They (the MSM) are just trying to make up an unethical situation and they've conveniently only told part of the story.
It really could not be any more clear that there is no fucking liberal bias in the media. Au contraire. There is a pronounced Repug bias in the MSM.

You know, it occurs to me that, given Moonboo's willingness-- nay, compulsion-- to freely share the fruits of her scholarship in this forum, that it is entirely fitting that we stand with her at whatever convocation ceremony awaits our accomplished young Atriot once she has burrowed up through the catacombs of knowledge into the sunshine and fresh air of achievement and honor.
Besides being awarded honorary degrees, which those of us paying reasonable attention surely deserve, Moonbootica could be borne upon a cadre of doughty Eschatonians to accept her diploma from the designated dignitary.
Then it's back to Clan Moonbootica's manse for a victory feast, from an introductory round of Buck's Fizz through the multicultural entree (roast pork and potato croquetts for me, thanks!) washed down with the finest vintages the family wine cellar can provide. And remember to leave room for the lemon cake, Easter trimmings cunningly replaced with icons of scholarship and blogging!

p.s. great gore quote on new thread
dont' help put 'dith' back into 'haditha'
I was reminded of the hollow heart of a dim when we pulled ashore for a moment and found a giant sycamore hollowed out. The red sun was setting beyond the bluffs, shadows were beginning to creep. From this giant hollow sycamore a whirring could be heard. There was a gaping hole about halfways up the trunk, and the whirring soon turned into little black specks that shot out like splinting shadow pieces across the sky, moving swift and with effiecent purpose. They were bats pouring out of that hollow sycamore. We watched as they poured into the empty dusk, thousands. It just reminded about how a heart can be hollowed and emante fear in all directions. How the heart of a nation can do the same thing. The falseness of such a heart. At least those bats were true, just doing what they do. But the hollow heart of a man is never true, never natural.
Bush, Biden recalled, just looked at him, unflappably sure that the United States was on the right course and that all was well. "'Mr. President,' I finally said, 'How can you be so sure when you know you don't know the facts?"'
Biden said that Bush stood up and put his hand on the senator's shoulder. "My instincts," he said. "My instincts."
Biden paused and shook his head, recalling it all as the room grew quiet. "I said, 'Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough!"'
The democrat Biden and the Republican Bartlett are trying to make sense of the same thing - a president who has been an extraordinary blend of forcefulness and inscrutability, opacity and action.
My instincts," he said. "My instincts."

catch you laters moonbats
gonna watch an episode of Buffy.
dith, how is the sky star-filled if the sun was just beginning to set behind bluffs? When was twilight?
I'm thinking about falling asleep in front of the television, and seeing what kind of dreams i have.
The part I didn't like in the interview was where he said he never believed these sorts of things (torture, spying) would be happening in American and that there wouldn't be outrage.
it is a tad disingenious. after all he has experience at defending the 'empire.'
So Dith, you are saying that all my relatives who served, because they were deocrats for the most part, did so with a Hollow Heart?
Do you know the trauma Vietnam cause to my Uncle Dith?
I suggest, seriously, that you stop your pathetic attempts to imitate Limbaugh, or Coulter.
Because If I could get my hands on you, and you say that those in my family, served this country, with a Hollow Heart, You would be swallowing teeth.
Now take your lies, and your Inane rants, and go Join the Services.
OT, if your corkscrew is broken, what is the best way to get the cork out of the bottle? I have many household tools at my disposal, but am not sure how to proceed. I really don't what to have to get in the car right now and drive to the store to buy one.
I guess I should have said, "I really don't WANT to..."
I don't follow LA politics that closely, but does this come as a surprise to anyone else?
"Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Thursday that she'll sign a near-total ban on abortion - without exceptions for rape or incest victims - that is nearing final legislative passage."
DBD, doesn't surprise me. Lots of Catholics and Southern Baptists in LA.
"INCURIOUS GEORGE"
I like that. Can we make it stick?

Nothing To See Here, Folks. Just Move Along...
Just as the flak around the (alleged) murders by Marines of civilians at Haditha reaches a crescendo, and just in time for the bobbleheads' shows tomorrow, the Pentagon has release a report exonerating USer troops of similar excesses in a place caled Ishaqi...
Dumb luck, i guess...
Mer: Re no corkscrew
drill a hole through the cork, then screw a somewhat thicker screw into the hole, and gently extract it that way...
just sayin
.

If you've two thin knives, you can edge the cork out.
Failing that, push it in.
Goopers and the dupes and dopes that adhere to their party line have no ability to think for themselves, which is why they have no common sense or common decency.

push it in and decant with a strainer?
If you plan on drinking the bottle dry at one time, push the cork in.
(You can use another cork if handy to seal it if you must.)

Moronolicious!
Thanks, I think I can push it in. WGG, I did think about screwing in a large screw and wiggling it out with the needlenose pliers. Might try that first.

HICA, ever-body!
Can't stay long. Have to go get a fully-charged battery and dry jeans in a few, and I think we're leaving for the gig @ 6:45 CDT.

OT: Front-loading clothes washer
save a LOT of water. so i took some of my tax-return and bought a pair of new laundry machines, washer and dryer.
the deciding factor was the amounts of water consumed in the typical operation of the machines: my old one (55-60 gal/wash) and the new one (13-19 gal/wash)...
as you may know, there's a 200 (working on 500) year drought raging across my corner of the high ChiHuaHuan. No rain to speak of (mebbe .05") since last summer...so the aquifer is not recharging, and there was a record dearth of snow in the relevant mountain watersheds this winter, so the river is a mere trickle, and what water isn't woed to Mexico is siphoned off to fee the farmers of the San Joaquin (really); and the arrivistes are still trying to grow English lawns around their McMansions.
i have a pond in the back yard (the eponymous Walled-In Pond) to the supply of which i have directed all the external water use on my little North Valley casita this summer...
but the morons are soaking their lawns and their fucking golf courses, and the parching continues...
fuckers...jeezis
I saw Julius Caesar last night at the Shakespeare Festival in St. Louis.
Mark Antony's funeral oration reminded me of Al Gore comments about Bush on Fresh Air.
" And we all know that Brutus is an honorable man."
"Bush is clearly an intelligent man."
I speculate that Gore recently read J.C. before speaking to Terry Gross about Bush.
Total lack of curiosity is a hallmark of the brain dead fundies I've met. They don't want to know. Gawd will make everything right. And none of them actually have any intelligence to speak of.
"but the morons are soaking their lawns and their fucking golf courses, and the parching continues..."
My local water authority actually urges its customers to water their lawns frequently.
Trickle down ignorance, I guess.
You people just piss me off.
Is that all?
Maybe if you put some more effort into it, we'd get somewhere.

Great catch. I was thinking that Gore was being far more disingenuously polite than he needed to be. Even Fredo's supporters have pretty much given up on trying to say that he's any smarter than your average loaf of bread.
Fredo's only real intuitive strength, as far as I've ever been able to tell, is that he is adept and well-practised at disarming people, and dominating the conversation.
Sometimes he'll do it with a lame joke, then capitalizing on the awkward silence by unraveling the usual Freedy McFreederton™ boilerplate we can all pretty much sing in unison by now.
Usually, though, it's with a more deprecating snipe; pretty much every DC reporter over 5'10" is apparently called "Stretch". All punctuated with that stupid, nasal, I-huffed-waaaayyy-too-much-modeling-cement-back-
in-the-early-days-at-Andover titter that Jon Stewart parodies so well.
All of which is a roundabout way of saying that Fredo's particular brand of "intelligence" is that of the vacuum-cleaner salesman or tent-revival preacher: sizing people up, and knocking them down.
Thank Jeebus for lucky sperm, or Fredo would be overseeing a surly crew of pimply teenagers in Midland, asking me if I'd like fries with that.
The movie was fantastic. Any of us who are up on the facts know what Al is talking about but it is brought together in such a great way in this movie. Not to long but long on the facts...it just hits a homerun in a so many ways. I will not only be encouraging all I know to see it but will be seeing it with them if that's what it takes.
Have a great day.
Patrick in Chicago
Holy crap people, that's NOT shoe. SHEESH.
And thanks, Marcia, nice to know we're friends. I'll voice chat with you anytime.
