GravatarOh, new thread. So...

Question(s): What's the logistics around this scenario: dropping two 500 pounders from high altitude, yet having police you're responsible for posted close enough to rush in and arrest the not-quite-dead?

I.e. how far away would they have had to be, given the error range of the bombs, and, while we're at it, were we that unsure of the bombs that we had them waiting nearby, or did they just luckily hear the sound of a large blast while making their neighborhood rounds?

If the bombs were 'smart,' thus lessening the supposed danger to friendlies on the ground, isn't it kind of hard to drop two bombs that big on target, and finding a pinky afterward, to say nothing of an intact body?


GravatarDang! I just got a Basketball Jones...

They gave the bombs a picture of Zarqawi and programmed them to destroy everything else and leave him mostly intact.

They are *very* smart bombs.

GravatarDo you know why he's grumpy?

Because after years of sneering, "You liberals all think you're so smart and cool and artistic" he is discovering that we are, indeed, smart and cool and artistic.

It's blowing his mind.

Secret report brands Muslim police corrupt

Fury over internal Met study which says Asians need special training


A secret high-level Metropolitan police report has concluded that Muslim officers are more likely to become corrupt than white officers because of their cultural and family backgrounds.

The document, which has been seen by the Guardian, has caused outrage among ethnic minorities within the force, who have labelled it racist and proof that there is a gulf in understanding between the police force and the wider Muslim community. The document was written as an attempt to investigate why complaints of misconduct and corruption against Asian officers are 10 times higher than against their white colleagues.


Gravatar19!


Gravatarfourmorewars,

According to the Tom Clancy books I had the (insert adjective here) to read: they often use a forward bomb spotter. They creep close to the target and light it up with a laser that is used by the munition for a precsion strike. If that were the case, there would have been a "patrol" or a single spotter in the area. (course Clancy writes fiction so . . .)


GravatarEven his hair seemed a little bit sad somehow.

Let me guess. Too many Kossaks just "wanna be friends."

And not really that either.

Gravatari was going to call him a dick.

Did you ever notice that when you do call someone a "dick" (out loud, not online), that its most effective when you put a great deal of disgusted emphasis on the "D"? You can't just say, "You're a dick." It's got to be, "You're a DDDDick!" (like Jeff Spicoli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

Right, but they're not retracting the 500 pound bombs angle, are they? Hence my question about where the Iraqi cops would've been posted, to the end that perhaps this has the makings of a story fuckup so obvious that not even the freepers could avoid acknowledging it.

But I have zip military knowledge. To I'd really like to know if anyone here knows, or knows them as knows, the practicalities (or wingnutty impossibilities) of taking out human targets via massive bombs...and very brave close-order followup on the ground.

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."

Sermon complete, he sat down.

Its the part about Zarqawi being alive and intact after 1,000 bls of explosives going off and reducing the concrete building to rubble that confuses me.

GravatarNow me, I'm curious as to why they went to all that trouble to mat and frame that ghastly picture of al Zarqawi's face. | Diane - 8:55 pm

A wild guess is that the administration believes that a higher-tech version of brandishing or mounting the corpse of one's opponent is a universal symbol of righteous wrath and judgement.

Moonboo has retired for the night, so I won't trouble her to trot out a half-dozen examples of heads displayed on pikes, garish medieval forms of slow, torturous execution beloved by the Brits... how could anyone ratify drawing and quartering, by the bye?

Anyway, it's the ultimate trophy, and our War President is doubtless pleased to brandish it in the world's face. It's the flip side of the "Wanted: Dead or Alive" standard recently coyly repudiated by The Unitard™-- let the world see the wages of terraism!

And of course this is the reddest, freshest meat there is; only our Leader physically devouring the still-beating heart torn from a high-ranking Al-Qaeda captive could surpass it. The Yahoos and Orc-folk rise on their hind legs and commence to engage in a frenzy of howling and baying-- sniffing after bits of offal and greedily devouring them.

I mean, of course the US is obliged to say, "I see your [cruelly slain hostage] and raise you a Zarqawi." That's the testosterone tarantella of war. The Unitard™ might not say "Bring it on!" again, but the strategy is still full-bore In Your Face.

thank you little bro for summing that up so neatly, as you always do. that's exactly it.

when i saw that pic i thought "why the fuck so big?" christ it looks like a postmodern piece for a museum.

you know bush keeps a collection of known terrorist's 8x10s in his desk drawer. marks an x thru them as they are captured or killed. it's like a sick child play'n with my little world.

GravatarThat the Plame Grand Jury met today at 9:30 this morning while the MSM was going on and on about Zarqawi.

Yes, I know the GJ meets for other reasons. This note specified the Plame GJ. However, that is all I know about it as yet. Hoped that maybe you good folks would have more.


GravatarRipley, speaking as a headphone junkie, in my experience headphone mfgs. and repair techs don't service headphones because they claim it just isn't cost-effective. Unless you have some kind of pricey high-end electrostatic works of art, that is.

Mfgs. may have accessories or replacement parts like ear cushions-- maybe-- but there don't seem to be Headphone Hospitals willing to gather in our trusty broken-in cans and make them good as new.

All that said, I recommend that you check out this great headphones site: GoodCans. I further recommend Grado headphones if you're inclined to replace. Grado does service their sturdy products, which are really reasonably priced.

I'm not getting a commission or anything-- just a satisfied customer!

GravatarWatching the rerun of the Plameology panel. Lots of good stuff.

Atrios: if you bother checking in between receptions, PLEASE talk about tomorrow's session as a blogger ethics panel. And explain the term. It's going to be on C-SPAN, and archived. It deserves to be spelled out.

Well, basically all they have is their point of view, expressed in soundbites, bumper stickers, and code snippets. They can use this crap to tickle the tummy fur of their flock, or convert the easily convertible, but it's no good at all on someone with opposing views, and a brain to argue with. They don't have an argument, because they don't feel the need for one. Their "TRUTH" is either self-evident, or you're an infidel, and arguing is useless. They'll prey for your soul, though...

GravatarSo horting is coming up, eh? I have been a hort. plantsman is a hort. Once, when I worked for the Desert Botanical Garden, I supervised horts. I was co-supervisor of horts sometimes....

Buckeye, yes, Mummy held a BA from Univ. of Tulsa (1939), and an MLS from UCLA (196. Her specialty was Childrens Literature, and she used me to practice on. Oh the glories of having my reading exhibited as what was commonplace for her courses.... She then became a childrens librarian for LAPL, and ultimately a Senior Librarian for them, in charge of 10 branches, and then the Head of the Children's Room for the Albuquerque PL. When she left LAPL, they endowed a Chair for her - I helped to pick it out at Bullocks, it's very nice and comfy, has a little metal plaque on it. Because I was a child of the LAPL after the horrible fire at the Central Branch I was one of the people who flew in to clean things up. That's Renny Day who Mummy trained and who was the Chief of the LAPL Childrens Room, on the right.

GravatarLike Bush Co. cares
Terry C, Politikal Girl - 9:25 pm


Like I said earlier, Terry, it's just a guess freshly pulled out of my ass-- but I'm saying that Bush Co. does care. By "care", I mean that if it's true that publishing photos like this are proscribed by Muslim law or custom, Bush Co. would see that as an incentive to publish.

All that I'm saying is that it isn't that they couldn't care less. They do care, and they are deliberately being provocative-- rather like the Danish newspapers with the Mohammed cartoons.

I don't want to open up a can of worms, but I see the criminal regime modelling itself after Israel, from the whole aggressive pre-emptive and retaliatory shtick to the shoot first and don't ask questions later tactics-- and the caustic defiance of world opinion rooted in a theory of statehood built on moral absolutes and a kind of local imperialism...

Don't get me started.

And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain

same here. i'm of 2 minds about the MPAA ratings. on one hand, they aren't law, and there are a number of movies which are R solely for the nudity, which i think is insane. on the other hand, 2 year olds prolly don't need to be getting into R movies... hmm...

"Does that mean everything we create — every book, painting, song — is simply (or complexly) an excuse for a chat up, some networking, or for establishing and sorting out a social hierarchy? Hmmm. That’s a helluva lot of work to get laid, but it’s not that farfetched, I guess. I’m reading Miller’s (mentioned above) book “The Mating Mind” now and he proposes something similar — that much of our evolved brainpower and creativity is a refined part of the mating dance —"

Seven years of power
The corporation claw
The rich control the government, the media the law

But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall
Let's tip the power balance and tear down their crown
Educate the masses, We'll burn the White House down

i always hated john denver, not least because it was said i looked like him (i did) when i was younger. he was very talented. after i started losing my hair they said i looked like sting. naturally i was happier with this comparison. everything you never wanted to know about charley.

GravatarMore from Nick Cave's "Brother My Cup Is Empty":
I cannot blame it all on her
To blame her all would be a lie

And wished that I could watch her die
To see her accusing finger spurt
To see flies swarm her hateful eye
To watch her groaning in the dirt
To see her clicking tongue crack dry
O brother, buy me one more drink
One more drink and then goodbye
And do not mock me when I say
Lets drink one more before I die
O brother, my cup is empty
And I havent got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

Colder than a ticket taker’s smile at the ivar theatre, on a saturday night
Flash flood watches covered the southern portion of my disposition
There was no severe weather well into the afternoon, except for a lone gust of wind in the bedroom
In a high pressure zone, covering the eastern portion of a small suburban community
With a 103 and millibar high pressure zone and a weak pressure ridge extending from

The description of her depression and her suicide in the book really moved me. It's the first time I ever could see a suicide making sense.

Arbus had done her life's work. She was through and she wanted to go. Amazing. I can't recommend the book enough. It's called "Diane Arbus" A Biography. By Patricia Bosworth. I hope it's still in print.

It starts out with her as a young girl, through her education at the Dalton School, and etc.

Gravatar Anybody who thinks tubes are better than transistors is too busy listening to the component and not listening to the content.

I played in a band with a kid who liked digital rack components and played like Malmsteen/Lynch/Vai. The kid was a god's honest wizard with a guitar.

He pushed a couple buttons and told me, 'this is the exact sound of a Marshall'.

And I said, 'which Marshall, set to what?'. He didn't get it at first.

I had an old MusicMan 6510 - 65 watts x 2 10's in the cabinet. It was the loudest fucking amp I'd ever heard in my life. The tubes were great (I put Groove Tubes in it for a while) but it had no bottom end and I was constantly fucking around with the tone. Biggest mistake I ever made was trading it on a solid state Marshall, though.

GravatarOne more thing about Arbus. She was a true original. Back in the 50's she decided all she needed for a purse was a paper bag. She just went around everywhere with a paper bag to put her stuff in. She pulled it off as some kind of new fashion - a trendsetter, she was.

GravatarTerry C: I like Gordon Lightfoot.

Me too -- "Sundown," whoo-hoo!

But still, anytime I'm in a place that's doing karaoke, I put in the "Wreck..." as a request. Never fails to get a laugh.

I'm such a clown.

Gravatar'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' is very close to a perfect song.


Gravatar"Recognizing woman as distinct from man, as different from man--as the Law of God does--is the bedrock of her security, as well as of our collective sanity."


Never said men and women WEREN'T "different" and/or "distinct."

That doesn't make me fucking inferior to a man, though.


GravatarIt didn't end. It just keeps on going and some radio station turns the song on in the middle once and a while.

I used to say that about Meatloaf.

He wrote one song, every album is just another verse...


GravatarLightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

They did play the shit out of that song back then, but that was a huge maritime fuckup.

GravatarYou know what? as many photos as you shoot it would be worth it - it will make your conversions faster and easier AND you can search by metadata.

I'll do some digging. Couldn't hurt.

Really? with hockey?

Hockey is hard. Auto racing bores me silly.


I'm not saying it's not hard, it's just that most of the time the announcers will rave about some great move or great play and I just can't see the awesomeness.

There are some exceptions, like a really acrobatic shot or save, but for the most part I'm pretty underwhelmed.

I also like baseball and football because of their incremental process: You can score through a whole progression of smaller victories that take you closer to the goal (balls, walks, hits, yards, first downs), or in one spectacular fell swoop. You can also have all of that progress undone by a double play or a sack or a turnover.

With soccer, hockey, and basketball there's not as much of an incremental progression. The ball or puck just goes back and forth from one end to the other, and sometimes they score, and sometimes they don't. It's too... arbitrary somehow.

Lastings... MILLEDGE!


GravatarRipley, lots and lots of places like that in Michigan. And, yes, that is my plan as well.

I keep kidding Barndog that I am gonna buy a place in the middle of the Seney Stretch. (Desolate area between Sault Ste Marie and Marquette. Had a forest fire about twenty years ago. No cross roads for tens of miles. Along the shore of Lake Superior)

GravatarEli, hate to disagree with you about hockey but an experienced fan (or player) can call a goal within a minute or so.

Hockey only looks haphazard, it really is not. In fact it is a constantly changing matrix that requires players to constantly adjust while skating at up to thirty miles an hour. It is much like soccer or basketball only much faster and harder.


GravatarI just don't get the appeal. It's one of those sports where I really can't tell the difference between a great player (or play) and an average one. I have the same problem with, say, hockey and auto racing.

She disparaged Baseball and our Football.

I was working in a store that catered to a lot of black customers. So one time a guy was looking for grits, we were all out of the regular grits, so I suggested buying "quick grits". He just looked at me like I was nuts.

Yes, but I'm not an experienced fan. I understand that it requires incredible skill and dedication to play - it just doesn't translate to viewing enjoyment for me personally.

GravatarOOPs. Apologies for giving the wrong Arbus suicide info. I just went back to the book to check, and she did attempt suicide several times.... one of those was a walk in the river with stones in her pockets. It was so dramatic that's the one I remembered.

But in the end she slit her wrists in the bathtub.


GravatarTerryC, I have seen Lightfoot four times. The last was after he hit it big with Edmund Fitzgerald. (He turned Hollywood and it sucked.) When traveled with his two sidemen, it was wonderful.

A point of information: My good friend in the UK wants me to do a biography of her father. He was one of the founding members of the Pegasus Brigade (aka SAS) and became Lord Mayor of Covington and was a firefighter. I keep waiting for more information. Seems there might be a book there.


GravatarEli, if you've heard of Bob Brenly, former D-Backs coach, then you know how bad of an announcer he is. He is currently on WGN/Cubs TV with Len Casper. I prefer to listen to the Cubs lose via radio w/Pat Hughes and Ron Santo and watch the TV on mute.


Brenley just sucks as an announcer.


GravatarI just don't get the appeal. It's one of those sports where I really can't tell the difference between a great player (or play) and an average one. I have the same problem with, say, hockey and auto racing.

Soccer is one of the few sports I like to watch. I'll watch baseball or basketball if I'm interested in the team. (but the mariners and the cubs have broken my heart too many times...)

I think I might have heard him as a Giants announcer, but I don't remember him being anywhere near as bad as this D-Backs jackass. All jovial clueless bombast and zero insight.

I think Lon "Tell it goodbyyyye..." Simmons is still my all-time least favorite, though.


GravatarEli, my sons both played hockey. They also played baseball, basketball, and football: but gave em all up for hockey.

There really is something special there, but it takes a long time a lot of games to see it.

But most people don't get it. (and maybe it is not even worth getting.) But we are quite the hockey family.

Gravatarhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Int...man_sock_puppet

Straw man sock puppet

Another type of sock puppet is sometimes referred to as a “straw man sock puppet”. They are created by users with one point of view, but act as though they have an opposing point of view, in order to make that point of view look bad. They will often make poor arguments which their “opponents” can then easily refute. This can allow them to essentially make straw man arguments. Such sock puppets thus become a personification of the straw man argument which their creators argue against. They often act in an unintelligent or uninformed manner, and may behave in an overtly bigoted manner. The effect is often to obfuscate the debate and prevent a serious discussion of the arguments from each side. Suspicion of such sock puppets is often harder to verify though, as there are often people who naturally behave in such a manner with the same effects.

GravatarWhy is it that we live in a time when the social contract has been torn asunder, and reknitted with malevolence at its root? Can't we fight that?

I think we are fighting that, but it's not a short fight. The reasons for the tearing-asunder are complicated and have to do with much that initially appears fairly innocent. Or so I think. But just speaking out about the problems we have with the "winner-takes-all" view of society is useful. For one thing, if the winner takes all, then thousands of people will suffer when one rejoices, initially, but ultimately everybody else except one person will be viewed as losers and the one winner will have no real company.

Yup. Plus, the unbridled jungle-type of competitiveness leaves its victims in a very bad state. The psychological and medical costs are most likely very high.

Not that I'm arguing against competitiveness as such. It's part and parcel of what we are, but it's out of balance right now. Hence the need to focus more on cooperation and the sorts of ethics we liberals used to be well known for: caring about your neighbors, fairness and justice.

These markets are conversations. Their members communicate in language that is natural, open, honest, direct, funny and often shocking. Whether explaining or complaining, joking or serious, the human voice is unmistakably genuine. It can't be faked.

Most corporations, on the other hand, only know how to talk in the soothing, humorless monotone of the mission statement, marketing brochure, and your-call-is-important-to-us busy signal. Same old tone, same old lies. No wonder networked markets have no respect for companies unable or unwilling to speak as they do.

But learning to speak in a human voice is not some trick, nor will corporations convince us they are human with lip service about "listening to customers." They will only sound human when they empower real human beings to speak on their behalf.

Man, you're making my mouth water. Will you be in Baltimore much longer? I'm telling you, Fell's Point is a great neighborhood, and Bertha's is not to be missed for their mussels if you have the time. The bar side of the restaurant is very small (an old rowhouse/store) that has an area for bands that is the old front window display area of the store... no bigger than 10' X 10'...talk about intimate! There used to be this old man who would walk in off the street most nights and expertly tapdance his way the length of the barroom, and then on his way back tapdancing out would have his hat extended for tips. It was great! And they served Guinness off the tap before it was cool... mmmm... Guinness and a plate of Old Bay steamed shrimp!

Gravatar DURHAM -- The exotic dancer who has accused three Duke lacrosse players of gang-raping her was drinking while taking medication that night, and had sex with at least four men and a sexual device in the days immediately leading up to the off-campus party, according to court papers filed Thursday.

And despite what Durham police have contended, a medical examination showed no signs of the sort of sexual or physical attack of which the dancer complained, according to the motion filed by defense attorneys for Reade Seligmann.

Gravatarmaybe this is post 1000:

Just as Ned Lamont's antiwar primary campaign against prowar Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman was gaining momentum, Obama traveled to the state to endorse Lieberman. Like the Duckworth endorsement, Obama's move was timed to derail an insurgent, grassroots candidate. To progressives this may seem surprising, given Obama's progressive image. But remember, according to the New York Times it is Lieberman--one of the most conservative, prowar Democrats in Washington--who is "Obama's mentor in the Senate as part of a program in which freshman senators are paired with incumbents."

Yes, it's right on the waterfront pretty much just southeast of the Little Italy section of town around the bay east of the Inner Harbor... it's really only a few city blocks away. In fact, I'm pretty sure the water taxi still runs from Inner Harbor to Fell's Point... you could just hop that if you're based in a hotel downtown. There's a pretty good fish market in the "square" at Fell's Point with a place that serves a huge yummy fish sandwich, but I can never remember their name... it's inside the fish market. Lot's of quirky shops around there too.

Damn, now I'm hungry.

Lol Reminds of a trip to see my best friend in WI. He picked up a smoked salmon from the local fish/meat place.

We enjoyed a couple pieces then sat in the living room, drinking beer. I walked into the kitchen and there's the cat, on the counter, chewing on the salmon.

'What the?!?' and the cat just looks over his shoulder, as if 'what...??'

He took a fist sized piece out of the fish, so my friend wanted to throw the fish out. Good times...

Now that is sad. It is not that the Republicans have co-opted the flag that bothers me. It simply put that when people finally make it through this period of dawning revelation, the flag will be seen as simply that, a symbol of a corrupt and very dark group of people.

It will not be simply a task of returning the flag to all of the people. Instead, there will be a long hard road to removing the stain and stink the Republicans have put on it.

In a hostile theatre? No. perhaps look to the operations of the "IDF's" targetings, bombs not "massive" but similar logistical issues of confirm and/or recover.

GravatarThe hardest hit in the Israel Defense Forces artillery strike on a Gaza beach Friday was the Ghalia family, which lost six members, among them the father, one of his two wives, an infant boy and an 18-month-old girl.

Less than two years ago, four members of the family were killed when IDF shell hit the family farm in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahia. The military had been targeting the area in response to Palestinian mortar fire.

Ali Ghalia, a Palestinian farmer, had taken his two wives and nine children on a trip to the beach, and the family was enjoying a picnic when the IDF artillery shell hit them.

Yes it dies. 43 has done everything in his power to gut NASA and it's goals. It, IMO, is his one lone astonishing accomplishment. This choice of his will have an effect for generations.

And coincedently, this afternon, I was thinking almost exactly this thought. NASA is virtually no more. We have no more space shuttle, 43 has killed it, as surely as if he had take pen to paper and said NO MORE.

It sickens me that one man has this much power to kill off hopes and dreams so simply. The final frontier was and has always been the one dream that I thought we as a nation would never gove up on, no matter how hard the roght wanted to. Now it is truely dead for this country. The Mars mission is nothing more than a diversion. This country may not go back to space for another hundred years because of this administration.

Fuck, I'd like to throttle some people for killing my/our dreams.
