Marshall's emailer says that the Democrats have been fools for not "accomodating the mood of the country." I say that's bullshit. The "mood of the country" is an extremely complex, ephemeral thing with many permutations, not all of them political.

In the US Domesticated media, the consuming audience being played to, is not the viewer, it is the sponsor-
The audience is any given corporate sponsor, intent on never losing their grip on the fourth estate to any populist politician, for to do so, is to skull and bones oneself-
Dean was widely praised in the media until the fateful "breakup big media" question posed by Chris Matthews on his "College Tour"
The Real Consumer is deadly afraid their end is near, so fearful their fright, we are treated to a parallel world view NTSC universe. Your neighbors and mine; fine upstanding folks, refuse to witness the infinite atrocity, and so hence US domesticated media's daily ratings yield lower than blogs like Atrios and Daily Kos, but their sponsors wither not-
The Real Consumer; the "Kerr-Mcgee's" advertise pictures of oil rigs as pristine patriotic landmarks, seen in their eyes, on THEIR one-way screens, a Statue of Liberty and entitlement-
Greedy treason enabling folks, these real consumers, and soon, very soon, these real consumers will shut down the very vehicle that exposes them daily, thru the expulsion of the Internet, and the birth of a ControlNet; a US domesticated Internet that WILL BE trained to know where, and where not, to defecate-

It's the backlash issue I'm in accord with. Dobson represents the blush on the cheek of a dying age; the resurgence of "evangelicals" the same. A fading power that is already receding as Bush tries to pander to it one more time, and even the conservatives (per the NYT, hardly a "liberal" paper) see it for what it is: too little and too late.
All a response to the changes of the '60's, which were not effected without cost or without feedback. But tell me African Americans still ride the back of the bus, or face the racism they once did (they face some, yeah, but I didn't go to school with blacks until the 10th grade. My daughter can't imagine that world, and has black friends now. She'll be in the 9th grade in the fall.)
The push back is more and more going to trying to hold back the tides. And that push back has crested itself. Even regional differences are beginning to disappear; or would, if we could show we actually gave more than a wet snap for the Gulf Coast, for New Orleans and Mississippi and Beaumont.

This is an example of a device popular with Zionists and Rethugs but by no means restricted to them, which might be called "outblasting." Imagine someone comments on the undeniable evil of Nazis, and a nearby Nazi immediately shrieks, "yes, kill all the white people!" Leaving aside the dire projection and misperception issues made evident here, the goal is to use a strawman backwards in self-defense. Nixon's Checkers speech was close to this: "Yes I took contributions, but it was an adorable dog." The Ford Motor Company's board of directors certainly look evil plotting to allow a known danger to menace the public in the name of cost effectiveness and profit, but this by no means has anything to do with everyone in corporate America.

Eli--are we watching tonight? Or are you tuned into the ballgame?
BTW, your birthday is in four days...what kind of cake?
(Hands Steve NS a plate of cookies and a tall cold glass)
OooOooOoo
Key limeade sounds wonderful, Sallyh
Bless your eternal soul, Sallyh.
*chomp*
key limeade? yes, please.
so now its a north south thing?
My My, how the MSM spins in the wind, yet if you go out on the street, and ask them, they say WTF?
Are you Crazy?
Diane--and it's not bad combined with a little Malibu Rum or some Cuervo and blue Curacao!
Sallyh, birthday is Monday - chocolate cake?
And there are also conspiracies that are all-but-proven, such as the clumsy but terrifying Russian bombing of their own people to generate support for the Chechen war. The destruction of mammoth apartment bocks, never mentioned in American media since IX/XI, stopped after it was proven that the explosive used was a KGB proprietary formula. Soldiers who discovered mysterious stockpiles of the stuff in unlikely places were suddenly transferred to extremely dangerous and distant hardship posts. And of course, it's Russians, who have never had any compunction about killing their own.

i live in georgia. have always lived here. there's 2 types of democrats down here: there's the old time democrat and the new south democrat. they share only a couple views. we should focus on those cornerstone views, i think, and take it to churches and farming association meetings. but it won't happen until people feel it in their wallets, like gas prices and falling housing markets, which will decrease the value of land, which is a major market down here where there is still open quasi-natural landscape.

that's right, they're utterly unlike the american military and government, who have never sent black, asian or native american soldiers on extremely dangerous missions with experimental technologies under severe hardship no white soldier would ever be expected to suffer.

Many a country, even America, has stooped to such depths to encourage the population into war.
I give you the Sussex as an example, it was never sunk, nor did anyone die, yet it was used, false flag, to committ to war/death.
Tis a hard curb to climb, but indeed, our leaders send us to wars not of our doing, such is why dith, and many others fail to see the foolishness of there pro-war diatribes
DWD--chocolate cake pour vous, black forest cake for Eli on the 7th.
Ah, one of my favourite Eurythmics songs.
Diane, but I always get a nice present: two and a half months with nothing much to do . . . .
Kind of refreshing after a busy school year. It really is odd: I worked in industry for 13 years before becoming a teacher. When I started, the schedule just seemed perfectly natural.
for this exercise dialectic is altered;;;
I don't often revert to the Socratic Dialectic.
Whom here so sayeth that wisdom is not inherent?
And how so might you defend that position?
Doth not a deer stand in hours and run?
Doth not a goose know the path of migration?
Doth not a sea turtle know to swim, and the direction to get it there?
And yet all of these formerly mentioned species never study or pass any exams. Nay.
Nor are papers with words and ideas exchanged between them.
They have no Professors to lecture them as well.
How so can this be that they know what they do not know?
Then should we not suppose that Wisdom, inherent knowledge, Vis, has passed thru the energy of life or blood from parent to offspring?
How, I ask, dear blogger, can we appease all of our simple minds, and still cross this chasm of inherent knowledge, that every mankind can comprehend?

Happy birthday Eli - first day of vacation for me. I will celebrate in your honor.
How did we miss this? The double use of "bubba" is in line with our other case about the cynical use of anti-Semitism by the nonJewish establishment. Those on our side will be protected against bigotry, oh, bigotry, oh it's so evil, it's the worst thing in the world, whereupon those not on our side are dirty kikes and unwashed bubbas and rape-happy apes. It's just like the Michael Weiner idea but with rednecks.

It just gets worse:
IDs of Active Personnel on Stolen Laptop
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Personal data on up to 50,000 active Navy and National Guard personnel were among those stolen from a Veterans Affairs employee last month, the government said Saturday in a disclosure that goes beyond what VA initially reported.
VA Secretary Jim Nicholson said in a statement that his agency discovered after an internal investigation that the names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of up to 20,000 National Guard and Reserve personnel who were on at least their second active-duty call-up were ''potentially included.''
In addition, the same information on up to 30,000 active-duty Navy personnel who completed their first enlistment term prior to 1991 also were believed to stored on the computer laptop and disks stolen from a VA data analyst at his Aspen Hill, Md., home on May 3.

That 5-part vocal bit in "Testament" is undiluted genius.
I'd say my preferred NP songs are "Loose Translation", "The Laws Have Changed", "The Fake Headlines" (how on-topic!), annnnnd... "The Bleeding Heart Show". But there are lots more I really like.

ripley, i spent the first (second?) night of this weekend getting shitfaced with cops and firemen. i was hiding from repeated attempts at assualt in the car by the end...does that count as fabulous?
For some reason, I am reminded of what may very well be The Greatest Painting Of All Time.

mena- a good friend just found out that after months of intimacy with another woman's husband, said husband has been busted. why? because he came by for a nooner with my friend while her aunt rhoda was visiting, and he failed to ahem, 'clean up' before donning his undies. the wife did some very interesting laudary that week, to say the least.
what's bad here: both married partners in this story have state-approved papers to carry and use concealed weapons. one of them has a temper.

Newman's niece does a lot of the female vocals on the album, but I believe the female lead on 3 tracks is Neko.
Her newest solo album's quite good, but I still prefer "Blacklisted", it sustains a noir-ish mood brilliantly from start to finish. Great 3:00am highway music.

Digby is right. The Dems have to stop trying to placate the conservatives in this country.
Russ Feingold and a few other Dems get this and say so. The Dems need to be unapologetically for women's reproductive rights, against the war, for fair taxes on the rich, and be pro-environmentalists.
The people of this country need to be led, not followed by a bunch of pandering Gooper-lite Dems.

No, but I got the impression that the cop he was telling, did not seem surprised that someone would find that very offensive.
And Ripley, mostly when you see NOS or NIP, it's a shorthand way of saying you're looking for old stuff made before the sixties when the degradation of goods became prevalent. When you're dealing with textiles you're looking at the consequences of both the gradual shut down of the great US textile mills and processors and the consequences of the substitution of polyesters as a result of both several years terrible collapse of the cotton crop -and- the consequence of the Vietnam war which effectively claimed what remaining stockpiles of cotton that were available for uniforms and supplies. By about 1970, the ordinary sheets and towels and everyday things that the US had produced from cotton were just about entirely switched over to half cotton/half poly, with the concomittant shift from reliance on internal supply to reliance on petroleum products bought externally, along with shifts in employment which to a degree fed the civil unrest faced by the South thru that period....
So, NOS sheets? Good.

In art it means work you can't get unless you're up on what other artists have done - in other words, in on the scene. There's nothing invalid about such work, it's just less accessible. It's why the "Outsider Art" movement got going. Art by people who hadn't been to art school, supposedly for people who didn't go to art school.

Hey Incog. What are people thinking down in New Orleans? Are they upbeat, or is the summer approach just too much for them?

Re hedgehog -- jesus. That's not cute at all. It's a far less pleasant rat.
nooooh! Hedgehogs are teh cute. They roll into little balls to defend themselves or they hiss at you. We used to leave a saucer of milk out for them and watch when the mama and all the little round baby hedgehogs would come to drink from it.
that is, other artists, critics, the "connosseiurs."
They're so negative, though. I prefer to hang out with the pronosseiurs, who have a more upbeat attitude. They don't get all heavy and bring me down...
a good friend just found out that after months of intimacy with another woman's husband, said husband has been busted. why? because he came by for a nooner with my friend while her aunt rhoda was visiting, and he failed to ahem, 'clean up' before donning his undies. the wife did some very interesting laudary that week, to say the least.
To hell with the firearms, sounds like nobody outside this immediate group is in any particular danger at this point. However I gotta say this reminds me of those "logic puzzle" things where Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice are out fishing, and Bob's favorite color is blue, and Carol's shoes are white, and Ted's using goldfish for bait, and Alice is wearing a purple hair ribbon, and you have to figure out which one of them drove the farthest distance to the lake and who arrived in a green car.
(sorry CD, I think the discussion of art forced me to say this.)

Yeah, that's been raging back and forth for years now in the schools. It's not a desirable thing to be an elitist. The problem is, that second category of work you mention is the only interesting kind, if you're not an interior decorator. Which suggests the disjusnct between what's happening in the schools and the Scene, and the general culture. This seems to be thought of as a bad thing.

who said when asked if he'd rather be rich or an artist? "i'd rather be rich, it seems like the artist is always hanging out on the rich's doorstep"
"got to the door i lost my house key, pick up my book, i read bukowski" of course being a handsome rock god would be the best.

jello
jello, I think you mean the one of 1876, R. B. Hayes vs. Blaine. Marked the end of Reconstruction as part of the deal to throw it to Hayes included pulling the last Union troops out of the former CSA. (Horrible decision needless to say as it marked the final "fuck you" to former slaves.)
1860 was complicated enough, what with four major parties and I don't think any states that had all of them on the ballot (Lincoln/Hamlin weren't on the ticket on any state ballots south of Virginia iirc, and not sure about VA for that matter.) but vote stealing if any was done the old fashioned way rather than in backroom negotiations.
Xan - Another one that always cracks me up was a friend that use to come home late and drunk, and his wife would be waiting in bed to ream his ass.
So I told him to always enter the house very loudly, and then, shout up the stairs, "Big daddy is home, and is ready for some lovin'!!!"
Guaranteed every time that your wife will pretend to be dead asleep and did not hear you coming in.
ah, thank you xan.
Are there any Southern voters who find this stereotyping by the right offensive?
They're saying that Southerners are so dumb they don't get stuff like culture, etc.
I'd be pissed off!
"Everybody wants to get to heaven but nobody wants to die."
Republicans love the "red and blue" state talk because it divides America and they win. It paints an ominus picture for a Democratic win so reasonable voters just stay home.
Dems just need to stick with what matters: Iraq, deficits, maintaining Social Security, supporting Medicare, making sure government services are there for people when they need them (Katrina), and bringing worldwide respect back to America.
Marriage, abortion, etc. are personal, not political, matters.
People want and need to believe in something bigger than themself. The corrupt media will do everything to kill real leadrship so we must act local to make people believe.
There are no blue or red states. There are only red, white, and blue states in the United States of America.
Tony Knowles for President!
Marriage, abortion, etc. are personal, not political, matters.
Excuse me?
Abortion is not important????
Sez you!
tony who?
I wonder if Mark Warner, former governor of Virginia, would qualify as a Democrat who could win back some of the states of the South.
But how can anyone vote for someone who says that he does not believe that we should withdraw from Iraq by a fixed date "come heck or high water" ?
Are there any Southern voters who find this stereotyping by the right offensive? - Terry C
I reckon most Southerners find this stereotyping to be offensive.
But who is doing the stereotyping? The media -- that's who! And I reckon that most Southerners, like most Northerners, Westerners, Easterners, Centralers, etc., still think of the media as being somehow liberal. So it still comes off as "liberals" having offensive views of the South rather than conservatives.
Isn't it amazing how much mileage in so many different aspects of political discourse the Republicans have gotten from "playing the refs"?
Enslaved, Terry C.,
Of course abortion is important, but I think Enslaved has the rhetoric right: whenever the subject of abortion comes up, we say "abortion is a personal matter and the government ought not to be involved". As Atrios puts it, most people think abortions are "icky" and will not vote for candidates who seem to excited about abortion rights. OTOH, it is an important cause and backing down on it will loose us votes besides, as we would correctly be seen as pandering.
One of the paradoxes of modern politics is even though most people agree with us on "social" issues, the more we talk about social issues the worse we do. So our challenge is to, whenever such issues come up, state our point clearly and with conviction and to try to move the subject along to something that really shows the voters that we really do care about the things they care about.
Saying "abortion is a personal decision not a political one, so we should keep the government out of that decision making process" (note I didn't say anything about government not funding abortions!) makes our case clearly, succinctly, forcefully and quickly enough to try and then steer the debate to economic issues.
OTOH, even though people agree with us on abortion and heck, even on gay marriage and the war on terrorism now (in spite of what the media says) -- if we are seen as the party who only cares about "the right of gay married terrorists to have abortions" and not the real challenges facing Joe and Jane Sixpack (like getting decent health care and having enough money to send the kids to college), we won't win elections. For example, we've been protesting in favor of abortion rights -- but where are our marches on Washington for mine workers who are subjected to horrendous working conditions.
It ain't our support of abortion rights that's losing us elections, it's our non-support of workers' rights. Once we start, contra the DLC, taking good, strong economically liberal stands, even social conservatives will forgive us our social liberalism (cf. how the Republicans got the support of the "Reagan Democrats"). OTOH, if we are only seen as the party of "gay married terrorists who want abortions", even those who agree with us on gays, the GWOT and abortion will simply stay home on election day and let the Republicans steal more elections.
I think, therefore, Enslaved is on to something here. State the pro-choice case succinctly, make it about keeping the gummint' out of our personal business and move on to another topic. This will help the pro-choice side not hurt it -- as it makes being pro-choice not about 'icky' abortions but keeping the gummint's mits out of our innerds.
