So how come the only channel I can find showing the World Cup is a Spanish Language channel?
heh--"Special Ed"; "seaman stain".
ql, if you don't have cable (like I don't), there's not enough interest apparently. ABC did show Ghana/Czech Rep. in English. They're in the Americans' group, which might explain it.
What Ed was hoping for was a lynching.
He wanted to see McKinney hung from the Capitol building -- gutted with her innards spilling all down the steps.
Isn't that right, Ed?

ql, it is also on abc starting at 2:30

And they wonder why we don't respect them. We don't respect them (the Republican mass media) because they hate America, and want to change the country into a WalMartized version of the USSR. And they still respect, nay, worship the most incompetent boob ever elected to high office in our history, despite his demonstrated lack of expertise, interest or morality when it comes to the problems most Americans face.

US vs. Italy starts at 3pm, iirc, on Ch. 7 ABC.
I'm watching on BBC World News a report about the american factory where they do the headstones for dead GIs. One of the worker is a reservist who's been in Irak and might go back. Another one is a Vietnam vet whose heart breaks with every stone. And another one is a bosnian war immigrant who refuse to talk about his own war.
You NEVER see reports like that on american television, wonder why...
The failure to indict Karl Rove proves Karl Rove's innocence. The failure to indict Cynthia McKinney proves that the process is flawed.
Nope--2:30 for ABC coverage.
Amazingly, the US still has a chance!

Since Ghana won today, no team in the group will be eliminated. However, there will have to be some tie breakers. However, the US does need to win for morale purposes.

What Ed was hoping for was a lynching.
Now, now...this is 21st-century America. The only people who get lynched these days are conservative blacks and Republicans, for the heresy of daring to tell the truth about why minorities are inferior.
He wanted to see McKinney hung from the Capitol building -- gutted with her innards spilling all down the steps.
David Ehrenstein - 2:30 pm
actually what he was hopin for was a lynching...
Mckinney made the most salient point on the whole matter when she poiinted out that there are 429 white members of the House, and six black women. The guard would never have detained any of the former, but didn't recognize one of the most prominent of the latter.
Strains credulity a bit, doncha think?
Capital Cops are no different than any other 'cartman-esque' thugs in uniform who demand that everyone--but especially brown people--obey their "authoritay..."

You're gettin' my back up.
Like I said on the other thread, the Mexican announcing team at the last WC, after we'd lost to the eventual runner-up Germans, gave their man-of-the-match award to the German goaltender. Meaning, by obvious implication, that the Americans were knocking at the door the whole time.
Maybe that Claudio Reyna guy has too many years on him. Or some other vital piece is missing from four years ago. But it's ridiculous to cling to the cw about the U.S. anymore. We're too big a country, with too many kids committing to soccer early, that anyone with an open mind would ever dismiss out of hand, our chances of at least of being a 2nd-round team.

Blair letter reveals debt to Marx
Tony Blair's youthful enthusiasm for radical socialism and his admiration for socialist theorist Karl Marx are revealed in letter written in 1982.
In the 22-page letter, the 29-year-old Mr Blair tells then Labour leader Michael Foot how reading Marx had "irreversibly altered" his outlook.He also praises Tony Benn, agreeing with the left-winger's analysis that Labour's right-wing was bankrupt.Details of the future prime minister's letter are in the New Statesman.
Writing just after he had lost Labour's deposit as the party's candidate in the Beaconsfield by-election, Mr Blair describes how he was initially inspired by Marx but later rejected his teachings.
I'm at my happiest addressing people who don't necessarily agree, but are willing to listen
Tony Blair"I actually did trouble to read Marx first hand. I found it illuminating in so many ways; in particular, my perception of the relationship between people and the society in which they live was irreversibly altered," he wrote.
"But ultimately it was stifling because it sought to embrace in its philosophy every facet of existence. That, of course, is its attraction to many."Mr Blair also attacked the "arrogance and self-righteousness" of many groups on the far left which he argued were "deeply unattractive" to ordinary Labour members.
The future prime minister believed Mr Foot should expel Militant Tendency - something that Neil Kinnock would ultimately achieve."There should not be a party within a party," he said.

A war widow rightly wonders: Whose freedom are we fighting for?
by John W. Whitehead | posted 06/05/2006
Amidst a sea of memorial plaques at the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery, one space remains blank.
That space is waiting to be filled by a plaque honoring the life and sacrifice of 34-year-old Sgt. Patrick Stewart, who was killed in action on September 25, 2005, when his helicopter was struck with a rocket-propelled grenade as it flew over Afghanistan. But it may be some time before Sgt. Stewart is remembered with a memorial plaque. That's because his war widow and the Department of Veterans Affairs are at odds over the Stewart family's request to have the Wiccan pentacle, a five-pointed star surrounded by a circle, placed on the plaque. As of May 31, 2006, government officials have refused to allow the Wiccan symbol to be placed on Stewart's plaque.
Sgt. Stewart identified himself as belonging to the Wiccan faith. Although Wiccans are not considered part of America's mainstream religious establishment, they are a growing minority. According to 2005 Defense Department statistics, approximately 1,800 active-duty service members identify themselves as belonging to the alternative religion that subscribes to magical activities and Earth worship.
According to federal guidelines, only approved religious symbols—of which there are 30—can be placed on government headstones or memorial plaques. Included among the 30 approved symbols are those that represent such mainstream religions as Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism. The list also includes more obscure religions like Konko-Kyo Faith and Seicho-No-Ie. And while the list does not include a symbol for the Wiccan faith, incredibly enough, it does include symbols for atheism and humanism.
our world cup feed in Canada comes from the BBC.
Actually, it doesn't. The TSN/Sportsnet coverage uses what's called the WBF (world broadcast feed) with a set of English commentators who are working for the FIFA broadcaster, and not BBC or ITV. They are, however, much better than the American commentators.
I don't know whether to watch the ABC coverage, where it'll probably be quite amusing if the Americans get a shoeing, or the Univision feed, where it'll be quite amusing if the Americans get a shoeing. The difference being that Univision is so in the bag for Mexico, it's silly.
I'm with fourmorewars. The US team is not the losers they were in the past. There is a reason they are ranked 5th in the world.
and on top of that, the Italian soccer federation is embroiled in a large scandal, and will probably be excluded from the UEFA Cup, and possibly international play for some time. The players are probably not most motivated of all the teams.

David (Austin Tx) | Homepage | 06.17.06 - 2:37 pm | #
Said on an earlier thread, a tie with Italy and an obviously not-easy win over Ghana, with an Italian win over the Czechs, puts the U.S. through, 4 pts. to 3 for the other two. And Italy would have motivation to win, since a Ghana win would propel them past a tying Italian team, 6 pts. to 5.
Which would bring up an ironic scenario, that the U.S. would want to beat Ghana, only not too early. Since, with both games being played at the same time, Italy might see us up 2 goals and start playing for a tie. And then we'd be screwed vis-a-vis the Czechs, on goal differential, unless we could win 4 or 5 to nothing.
Uh, oh. It looks like the US team captain is going to give a Mexican flag to the Italian team captain.

It is later verified that Coulter, possibly with the help of other "elves," fabricated the story of Clinton's "distinguishing characteristic,"
[...]
Jones now claims she was victimized by both Clinton and his Republican opponents. Her legal fund did not cover the attorneys' fees, and Jones' personal life was disrupted during the controversey: she divorced her husband during the case, purchased a house after the settlement, and incurred a large tax bill, then posed nude for Penthouse magazine, claiming that she would use the money to pay the tax and fund her two grade-school-aged children's college education. This caused her to be publicly denounced as "trailer-park trash" by Coulter, who said, "I totally believed she was the good Christian girl she made herself out to be.... [N]ow it turns out she's a fraud, at least to the extent of pretending to be an honorable and moral person."

Hey fuck mindless attacks against Michael Moore. I watched, for the first time last night Bowling for Columbine.
Moore requested, and was nervously invited, to film a portion of his movie on the premises of Moses (known temporally as Charlton Heston).
BTW, in a catty mode, Chuck's bucks bought himself the tackiest piece of Beverly Hills I can imagine.
Anyway, Moore asked Chuckie why he always insisted on appearing at NRA rallies in locations immediately after where grotesque shootings of very young people had occurred.
It was then that the hand went over the camera lens and indicated that apparently the 2nd Amendment discusssion had concluded.
Paula Jones was and is trailer trash.

She thought she was punching her meal ticket when she blew Clinton, and then when she ratted him out. I saw her on LKing with Jeff Toobin just after impeachment, and when he told her he believed she had completed Clinton's pass, she was all coy and flirtatious. She was aping Susan Carpenter MacMillan. I think she thought she was going to become a bigtime celebrity pundit.

1watt, for your video filming have you thought about making a "hobo" steady cam? The simplest one, is just a weight on the end of a long piece of PVC pipe (schedule 40) with a horizontal piece stuck near the top so you can hold it easily.

A council official said the mayor, Walter Veltroni, had asked the entire SS Lazio squad to attend a meeting next Thursday.

Well, they could, but I've often times drove detroit luxury cars myself, when I was poor, such as when I was a student. You can get them on the cheap, and they are better made than the compact autos made in detroit. I understand why a welfare mother may have a Cadillac. You can haul a family in them, and you can sometimes find them for a few hundred bucks.

Joe Lieberman is right. thank god we got rid of Saddam. everything's okay now:
On Saturday, a group of parliament members paid a surprise visit to a detention facility run by the Interior Ministry in Baqubah, north of Baghdad. "We have found terrible violations of the law," said Muhammed al-Dayni, a Sunni parliament member who said as many as 120 detainees were packed into a 35-by-20-foot cell. "They told us that they've been raped," Dayni said. "Their families were called in and tortured to force the detainees to testify against other people."
"The detention facilities of the ministries of Defense and Interior are places for the most brutal human rights abuse," he added.
Doug, thanks.

Sweden are likely to be without striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for their final Group B match against England. The Juventus player injured his groin in the 1-0 win against Paraguay on Thursday, when he did not reappear for the second half.
A scan has revealed that Ibrahimovic suffered a small tear to a muscle in his groin and Sweden team press officer Thomas Salateg said on Saturday: “The prognosis is that he is unlikely to be fit for England.”
Sweden sit second in Group B and given their three-point lead over Trinidad and Tobago, are confident of following England into the last 16. Should they progress, Salateg added that the Swedes were hopeful Ibrahimovic would be available for a second-round tie against either Ecuador or Germany.
“He’s feeling a lot better today and he’s started his rehabilitation exercises,” he said. For Tuesday’s game against England, Marcus Allback, who replaced Ibrahimovic against Paraguay, appears a strong candidate to partner Henrik Larsson.

Without belaboring the point, I have played against many an Italian. Italian soccer players can take dives pretty convincingly.
Those that they have shown replays for, have been, for the most part, dives.
When I played in Virginia, the Refs were not shy about handing out yellow cards for people taking dives like that. Some of the trips have been real, but a good number have been fake.

MUNICH, Germany - Bussunda, a Brazilian comedian renowned for his imitations of soccer star Ronaldo and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, died Saturday while covering the World Cup for the country's largest television network. He was 43.
Bussunda, whose real name was Claudio Besserman Vianna, died after having a heart attack, Brazil's Globo TV news channel said.
Vianna felt sick after playing soccer with friends outside his hotel. He was taken to hospital but efforts to revive him failed.
A Globo TV program director said Vianna had no history of heart problems and played soccer on a weekly basis.
In a statement, Brazil's soccer association said all of the national team's players and staff were grieving the death. The statement also said Ronaldo expressed "his feeling of sadness for the death of a person he admired."
Vianna is survived by his wife and a daughter.
Defending champion Brazil plays Australia in a Group F match in Munich on Sunday.

Bolivia unveils anti-poverty plan
The government of Bolivia has announced a radical plan to reduce poverty and create employment in the poorest country in South America.
Almost $7bn (£3.8bn) will be invested in ambitious public works programmes.
The economic plan announced by Planning and Development Minister Carlos Villegas aims to create 100,000 jobs a year for the next five years.
It is the latest measure in a series implemented by President Evo Morales since taking office in January.
The people of South America, and especially Bolivia, have often heard their leaders promise to reduce poverty and create jobs.

the ref was appointed by George Bush
That ref hates America. He touched the ball first. No foul.
Wussies!

But this is what happens when referees put FIFA directives ahead of common sense.
as I've said the policy towards two footed lunges has been toughened up for the 2006 World Cup.

Budvar in Western Europe, Czechvar in the US.
Many years ago, Anheuser-Busch bought the name "Budweis" from the brewery in Ceske Budejovice ("Budweis" in German). So the original Budweis brewery "sold its birthright," as it were.
It's pretty good stuff, but there are better Czech beers. Louny dark, and Staropramen in particular.
Let Freedom reign!!
Inmates in another photo clustered around chains hung from the middle of one of the crowded cells. The chains were used to hoist prisoners by their bound hands, Zobaie said. The practice, noted frequently in inspection reports of Interior Ministry detention centers, often results in the dislocation of prisoners' shoulders.
Ninety percent of the men crowded into Interior Ministry detention centers are Sunni Arabs, Zobaie said. He called treatment in the Interior Ministry prisons "inhumane" and indicated it still was less than certain whether the Defense and Interior ministries would follow through on their agreement to turn over the inmates to the Justice Ministry. "Hopefully, they will," he said.

MOTHER FUCKERS OF WAR INCORPARATED
Homeland Security Inc.
Former Antiterror Officials Find Industry Pays Better
By ERIC LIPTON
Published: June 18, 2006
WASHINGTON, June 17 — Dozens of members of the Bush administration's domestic security team, assembled after the 2001 terrorist attacks, are now collecting bigger paychecks in different roles: working on behalf of companies that sell domestic security products, many directly to the federal agencies the officials once helped run.
Graphic: The Revolving Door
Tracking the Turnover
A list of former domestic security officials and where they are now working. (pdf)
At least 90 officials at the Department of Homeland Security or the White House Office of Homeland Security — including the department's former secretary, Tom Ridge; the former deputy secretary, Adm. James M. Loy; and the former under secretary, Asa Hutchinson — are executives, consultants or lobbyists for companies that collectively do billions of dollars' worth of domestic security business.
More than two-thirds of the department's most senior executives in its first years have moved through the revolving door. That pattern raises questions for some former officials.
"People have a right to make a living," said Clark Kent Ervin, the former inspector general of the department, who now works at the Aspen Institute, a nonpartisan public policy research center. "But working virtually immediately for a company that is bidding for work in an area where you were just setting the policy — that is too close. It is almost incestuous
Moonboo.: noisy Queen's bday today in London?
It's almost as if every time the whistle blows, the yellow card must come out.
Maybe Chimpy and Prodi could agree on the missile strike on the ref as a joint operation.

"I mean what we do to the Queen and her family is inhumane. What other 80 year old woman would be force to do what Elizabeth Windsor does? We shold stop being humiliated as a nation by the exploitation of this over extended family. We stopped chimpanzees having to perform tea parties in captivity years ago - why do we still expect of these humans? Like Elsa, the Queen and her cubs should be set free. Why don't we have anybody at all? If the ambassador from Tuvalu or the Aston Martin owner's Club turns up just tell them she's out, running wild in the heather"

5 teens killed in New Orleans shootout
By CAIN BURDEAU, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 21 minutes ago
NEW ORLEANS - Five people ranging in age from 16 to 19 were killed in a street shooting early Saturday, the most violent crime reported in this slowly repopulating city since Hurricane Katrina hit last August.
All were believed to have been gunned down in a volley of bullets on a street in the Central City neighborhood just outside the central business district. Three of the victims were found in a sport utility vehicle rammed against a utility pole and two were found nearby on the street.
Authorities said they were looking for one or more suspects but did not elaborate
We just had a look into the infinite.

USA held on for most of the second half with nine men to earn a gutsy draw with 10-man Italy in an enthralling match.
Italy went ahead when Alberto Gilardino headed home Andrea Pirlo's free-kick, before USA levelled soon after thanks to Cristian Zaccardo's sliced own goal.
For only the fourth time at a World Cup three men were sent off, Daniele De Rossi for an elbow, Pablo Mastroeni for a foul and Eddie Pope for two bookings.

Great post at C*&L about our arrested adolescent only preznint and the power of TeeVee. He watched a documentary about seals and decided to do one small tiny (but good, I'll give credit where credit is due) thing for the environment.

The Olive Garden is to Italian food.
Olive Garden a mass market pig slop feeding trough.
Better to just buy a jar of Prego, a box of pasta and some frozen garlic bread.
It'd be cheaper and probably taste better than Olive Garden's fare.
We now have to root for Italy to beat the Czech Republic for the US to advance.
I'm glad that the US was able to hold it together, despite the horrible job the ref was doing.
David (Austin Tx)
nah, the ref did his job, the problem is all the refs don't most of the time.

I hear you, plum p. I was in my mid-20's before I figured out that I could insist on such things, as opposed to getting them by accident, and it was a bit longer before I found someone skilled enough to deliver consistently. Now, not a problem.
Olive Garden.
I'd rather eat at Taco Bell than Olive Garden.

Yes but you would miss the bottomless salad bowl and pasta dish. Surely, more makes it better.

what's wrong with Tena? Her trip didn't go well?
And what happened to NYMary Molly Ivors?
I remember reading the tales of goddess cumquick in high school. Wasn't she created from Zeus's left testicle or something like that.

Olive Garden has nasty marinara. I was lucky enough to be raised in an area with a big Italian population, so I'm pretty picky about that. Theirs is practically salsa.

FBI prober attacked
The New Jersey forensic investigator who cracked the case against rogue FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio was strangled and beaten senseless in a Brooklyn shopping center parking lot early yesterday.
The attack on Angela Clemente came after she and others warned authorities that the lives of people involved in the De.Vecchio investigation were in danger - possibly from other ex-FBI agents.

As the presumed 'facts' initially associated with the Duke lacrosse case have melted away, those on campus who aggressively condemned the lacrosse players have found themselves in an uncomfortable position. . . . In short, rather than admit that their initial attacks on the lacrosse players’ character contributed to what David Brooks correctly has termed a 'witch hunt,' the Duke administration and the players’ faculty critics have acted as if their negative judgments always revolved around the alcohol issue—despite clear evidence to the contrary.
So true. What the players' "critics" did is disgusting. What a bunch of horrible human beings.

Dennys Marinara
Paid trolls. The newest craze...
One more reason to be wary of feeding trolls
http://pandagon.net/2006/06/13/o...feeding-trolls/
What a lot of us suspected—that conservative trolls that seem to generate knee-jerk right wing talking points are just plants that are put there by the endless stream of right wing money earmarked for propaganda—looks like it’s probably true. People are reporting that they’re getting these comments from people that are coming from this company called Netvocates. The company sells itself as a company that will defend your organization’s reputation by sending people to fill blog comments with defenses. The blurb from the site is quite telling:
For many organizations, blogs represent an uncomfortable topic. Unlike traditional communication mediums, blogs frequently impact an organization and its products and image in uncontrolled and often unexpected ways. In addition, the sheer volume of blogs, message boards, and other discussion forums makes it difficult for organizations to effectively monitor the activity relevant to them.
I will say this—for months after I wrote posts criticizing American Apparel I had comments periodically show up in the comment thread whining that feminists hate sex if we have issues with employers who do things like receive blow jobs from underlings in front of reporters. In addition, I’m still deleting a handful of comments every day on my post where I criticized Miller for having a commercial with the tagline, “You poke it; you own it.” The vast majority of them have the same tone as the American Apparel comments—accusations of sex-hating, humorlessness, and just general beating up a strawfeminist. And of course links back to Miller’s website, which is reason enough to delete the comments as I’m not spending money on bandwidth to advertise cheap beer.
This company appears to work predominantly for corporations that are attempting to mitigate damage by people who are criticizing their practices and marketing on the internet. But there’s also a group called the Rendon Group that is all about controlling public opinion on government actions that people are reporting on their site meters.
( http://peterrost.blogspot.com/20...y-
paranoid.html )
Considering that the Rendon Group has contracts from BushCo to spread pro-war propaganda, it’s hard to imagine that they aren’t also targeting left-leaning blogs, possibly trying to circumvent productive anti-war discussion by bomb-throwing and other nonsense. Something to keep an eye out for—if you have right wing trolls that only comment on certain topics, especially if they just generate generic talking points, there’s a solid chance they are a troll-for-hire.

One time we went to dinner with some friends late at night in a great but hideously dingy restaurant in Miami. We got there maybe 20 minutes before the kitchen closed, and there were four of us.
Each of us got exactly 1/4 of a head of iceberg lettuce for a salad. Still in wedge form.

there's a fancy/trendy place near me that serves that and the waitrons rather grandly announce it as "our wedge salad". Made me wonder if it was coming back after years of mixed baby greens. I always get the spinach salad.

It's a management issue. Some restaurants don't want to pay their staff for the kitchen shutdown cleaning. They expect the staff to be completely done with that, by the kitchen closing time.
