You know, I thought - only today - of the perfect example for Goldstein: A blues singer saying "I need a little sugar in my bowl" instead of "I want to fuck." They both refer to the same state of mind, but if you want to understand why the first one is used, you have to understand the culture of censorship circa 1927, and the weird borderland "race records" inhabited within that culture, and the economics of small record labels, and the long tradition of double meanings in oppressed subcultures, yadda yadda.
Wish I'd brought it up at the time.

My boss got lucky hiring some young 'uns. They were high school friends of her son, now early 20's, and had been construction/contracting for about 5 years. The lead guy presented his ideas for the kitchen, they liked it, trusted him, and they went off to France for a week while he and his crew did a basic remodel on the kitchen (and watched the dog). No problems.

I just read the thread below, "They Call Him Bubba."
Aren't there any Southern voters who find this stereotyping by the right offensive?
They're saying that Southerners - or anyone living in a "red state" - are so dumb they don't get stuff like culture, etc.
That the Repukes are successful because they talk down to the rubes.

Police, media silence sought as Bush officials turned Rayburn parking garage into temporary auto-body shop
Bush administration officials operated Memorial Day weekend damage control to cover up the deaths of three foreign intelligence operatives—two British and one French—involved in a Friday morning shootout in the House of Representatives parking garage.
The altercation turned into an exchange of automatic weapons fire over a pouch containing evidence files documenting an operation to bomb the rail system along the Northeast corridor on Thursday—with the full knowledge of George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair who was in Washington while the operation was being hatched

whatever happened to dick shawn?
he was a real funny one, in an idiot savant kind of way.
ever see him do the song to a flower?
dick shawn died in the manner that all comedians and actors would aspire to: he literally died on stage in the middle of his act.
it was his one man show, which i had the pleasure of seeing (tho not on the fateful night). it was, of course, rambling, non-sequitorious, unexpected, and thusly when he clutched his chest and fell over one night during a san diego performance, most of the audience thought it was part of the act. (not his son, who was in the theater, and knew the show).
i also, as a young comic, had the pleasure of meeting mr. shawn one night on the streets of san francisco. i was with a producer who knew him and she introduced me to him as an up and coming comic. of course, i knew who he was, one of the funniest men that never caught on with the public at large (but if you have any doubts, just watch the original film of the producers...it's a shame brooks eliminated shawn's role from the broadway production, it was the cherry on top of the madness of that show).
his advice to me: keep at it, it's hard. he was right.
Stop the fucking presses! The Dems aren't conservative Republicans!

Edgar Rizkallah, 43, and Kamil Issa, 36, both of Pleasanton, said in the discrimination lawsuit they were called ''terrorists,'' ''camel jockeys'' and other epithets in 1999 and 2000 by Stacy Shoun, terminal manager for the Oakland FedEx Ground facility where the two men were contract drivers....

Bush and his corporatist friends are the ultimate parasites...
Candirú http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can...ki/Candir%C3%
BA
The candirú or canero (Vandellia cirrhosa) or Toothpick Fish is a freshwater fish in the group commonly called the catfishes. It is found in the Amazon River and has a reputation among the natives as the most feared fish in its waters, even over the piranha. The species grows only to a size of an inch in length and is eel shaped and translucent, making it almost impossible to see in the water. The candiru is a parasite. It swims into the gill cavities of other fishes, erects a spine to hold itself in place, and feeds on the blood in the gills, earning it a nickname as the "vampire fish of Brazil".
It is feared by the natives because it is attracted to urine or blood, and if the bather is nude it will swim into an orifice (the anus or vagina, or even in the case of smaller specimens the penis - and perhaps deep into the urethra). It then erects its spine and begins to feed on the blood and body tissue just as it would from the gills of a fish. The candiru is then almost impossible to remove except through an operation. As the fish locates its prey by following the water flow from the gills to its source, urinating while bathing increases the chance of a candiru "homing in" on a human urethra.

If you find the borg to be decent employers, I'd go for it.
Never did hear back from them on the job app I sent them a couple of months back, but that's a trend, I guess. Companies are no longer sending out rejection letters, from my experience. I've received two for over 50 resumes I've sent out ytd.
I find that a bit off-putting, but then maybe I'm just old-fashioned.

Then, on May 17, Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) let the news slip out. In the middle of a rambling statement at the outset of a news conference on Capitol Hill, he said -- almost as an aside -- that what happened in Haditha was "much worse than reported in Time magazine." He asserted that the investigations would reveal that "our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood."
The reporters present barely focused on what Murtha had said. When the congressman finished his statement, the first reporter asked about Iraqi security forces. The second asked about U.S. troop withdrawals. The third asked about congressional support for Murtha's resolution calling for a U.S. pullout from Iraq. Finally, the fourth asked about Haditha. Murtha responded with a bit more detail: "They actually went into the houses and killed women and children. And there was about twice as many as originally reported by Time." Even then, his comments captured little attention and were not front-page news.
They went native. Lost what they were.
Bush and Rummy are to blame.
IMO, the problem is EXACTLY like Viet Nam. There is no mission. All those guys do, is go out, day after day, and look for some one to kill. There is no end game, no "capture the flag" moment. And it leads to exactly what we're seeing.

It appears that the Marine Corps itself has much blame.
As a Times article in tomorrow's edition reminds me, the Marine Corps came in with a guns and glory mentality when it took over control of Anbar Province from the Army in '04.
They thought the Army was pussyfooting around with its hearts and mind talk and leveled Fallujah. 36,000 of the 50,000 homes there were leveled. An Army general commented afterward, "so how are the civilians going to take this when they come back/"

Bingo. In WWII, damn near every move a grunt made was part of a larger plan toward an eventual victory that would be unmistakeable when it came. In Vietnam and Iraq, it's just, get up in the morning, put on your armor, if you have some, and head out to get shot at or blown up, and nobody knows jack shit about no fucking plan.

Tori Amos is okay, and she's written a few decent songs. But, in general, not to my taste. Too tangential for me.
I guess you haven't heard her cover Smells Like Teen Spirit or Livin' On a Prayer.
Frankly, I don't like her, either. She's a bit much, y'know?

See, that's the whole point.
Allison Moyet and Sandy Denny were
probably two of the best pop
singer/songwriters of the last
half century.
And the reason they're not the stars
they should be is because they were
both heavy.
As if Meatloaf wouldn't have been
a star if he was skinny.

Mesa Verde National Park (CO)
Special Event: First Lady Visits Park
First Lady Laura Bush visited Mesa Verde National Park from May 23rd to May 26th to help the park celebrate its centennial and to vacation in the park with her close friends. The official event took place in Long House, the park’s second largest cliff dwelling. Approximately 200 invitees attended. The event celebrated Mesa Verde’s livelihood, its placement as the first cultural national park in the nation, and its place in education and protecting and interpreting Native American culture and heritage. The First Lady and her companions enjoyed the park by visiting several pristine cliff dwellings and hiking in the backcountry. Tours of the park’s research center and library were also organized for the First Lady and her friends. The National Park Service was tasked with assisting the Secret Service and the White House Communications Agency during the visit. An in-park incident management team was established to run the event. Approximately 45 people were assigned to the event, including 15 law enforcement rangers and eight members of Intermountain Region’s special events team. In reality, though, every employee in the park had a hand in making the First Lady’s visit a complete success. [Submitted by Jessie Farias Jr., Chief Ranger]
Um, "close friends." And "companions." Hmm, And took 45 people plus WH staff unnumbered to manage this hiking trip. Sure glad it was a "complete success."
