I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Morning!
I've been following this with some amusement and no surprise.
(Kos told me to say that.)
One more.
atrios, we need to have a blogger party and invite them. i'll bring a couple of my single Boi friends, and we can take care of all those poor saps over TNR who are obviously very unhappy about always giving, and never receiving.
pie! i can only stand in awe.
Maybe it is Satan's hand-
http://tinyurl.com/gfnyq
what can we make of a guy who, after calling bloggers fascists, defends the charge based on Markos's childhood experience in wartorn country and shrieks that people dared call him a "moron."
That he's a fucking idiot in over his head and on the verge of being publically reprimanded, if not out-and-out fired, for fucking up royally?
Not to put too fine a point on it...
KITTY SATAN!
I do suspect, however, that Gizmo is a felinofascist.
"The eyes! Look at the eyes!"
"He has his father's eyes!"
"Who was his father - Dean Martin???"
The New Republic is not a right-wing rag. But nor is it a progressive one, and nor is it a relevant one, its contrarian, hey-you-kids-get-off-my-lawn shtick against their fellow Democrats having grown old even before the monstrosity of factesque racism known as The Bell Curve shuddered through its pages like an elephant looking for a place to die
zing!
Wow, Peretz's reply sure makes him seem like a mature grownup.
Dangerkitty!
Kos - King of Cats?
Hey! A thread without thread litter!
I perused the last few but didn't feel like chipping in - I get so sick of mundane name calling.
Do those TNR cats know how to project or what?
Atrios, I have a suggestion.
It seems to me that there's a coordinated war being waged on the left blogosphere. Perhaps there's a wingnut "Townhouse" list that we should discover?
And can I just say that I despise these "TomTom" commercials?
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
i don't want to do any work today. and i should.
Kos - King of Cats?
Hey!!
Perhaps there's a wingnut "Townhouse" list that we should discover?
Where would you find it, and what would you do with it?
Ask me if I care what they think.
Go ahead, ask me.
i hope these cretins at TNR realise that fascism comes from the right.
Damned cat, taking over my keyboard and all...
i hope these cretins at TNR realise that fascism comes from the right.
Out of the mouths of babes.
Nice one, Moonb.
All cats bearing that black and white pattern are felinofascists. I speak from personal experience.
In science fiction parlance, glowing eyes mean evil or alien (cf. Stargate, etc).
Cats are here to subjugate us and monitor our activities. Forget Markos, Atrios is being directed by Gizmo.
US detains Iraq's top Sunni cleric
US forces detained Iraq's most senior Sunni cleric in the northern Iraqi city of Tikrit on Saturday but released him after a few hours.
The Sunni Association of Muslim Scholars said that Jamal al-Din Abdul Karim al-Dabban, the grand mufti or highest religious authority for Iraq's Sunni Arab minority, was taken into custody, along with at least two of his sons, in the early hours of Saturday morning following a raid by US forces.
The cleric was released about seven hours later, following protests.
Hundreds of people had responded to calls broadcast over mosque loudspeakers to gather in front of the governor's office to protest against the detention, said Sheikh Yahya Ibrahim al-Atwani, deputy head of the association in Tikrit.
and since when is speaking one's mind, albeit with expletives, considered "hard fascism"?
Yes this pissing match is getting boring for all of us
What's the score? And are we into stoppage time yet?
That cat is going to punch you, Atrios, for flashy-thingying him.
And while we're on the subject of batshit crazy . . . .
Morning pie and you other batties.
We're not fascists; we're anarchists.
It's different.
Gizmo is teh cutes.

Since namecalling by anyone to the left of Viceroy HAL has been ruled out as offensive to the majority, and since civilitudity became the order of the day.
And perhaps that demonstrates, as much as anything, the tattered shreds of that old and once-proud banner, one that many of us will no longer pretend at propping into relevance.
I'm picturing a group of little men with screwed up faces, wildly waving their arms and stamping their little feet, threatening to hold their breaths until they turn blue.
It's a very funny image.
I have big black kitty.
Is he going to be arrested as a turrist and accused of trying to contact Al Qaeda?
Bow to Markos!
i've heard of the Hard Left, but never encoutered the term Hard Fascism.
Harry Reid-
"They've been able to become powerful because they've learned to break through the monopolies we have with the media. That's why I so admire the blogs," said Reid. "They're able to get their message out and they don’t need to run it through some editor, they don’t have to run it through some publisher to get it done -- they just do it. And so, I love the blogs."

Morning, Tena. It's a gorgeous one here.

4 mins: GOAL Germany 1-0 Sweden
Lukas Podolski scores his second goal of the tournament to potentially silence his critics once and for all. The creator, however, was Miroslav Klose. Klose broke clear in the box, was just stopped by Andreas Isaksson but Podolski was on hand to convert the rebound.
""They're able to get their message out and they don’t need to run it through some editor, they don’t have to run it through some publisher to get it done -"
ah, but they do have to run it by kos...
Morning, Tena. It's a gorgeous one here.

Here, too. DWD has a gorgeous day for a grad party.
And I'm outta here. Need to be productive, work in the garden, go to parties.
well, moon- my fascism is very soft, and fluffy. kind of like gizmo.
now, my anarchism. heh. not one of those little tnr puffs could take the full force of my strap-on of chaos and live. i promise.
Shut the fuck up. All of you.
Perhaps there's a wingnut "Townhouse" list that we should discover?
More like a Ketchum outhouse.
i've heard of the Hard Left, but never encoutered the term Hard Fascism.

Indeed. What would be soft fascism? Severely chastising Jews and gays?

Most of the wingtards can't GET hard.
That's why they're the way they are.
Loving war, hating women....all that other stuff.
Peretz is to blame, the prick.
Nobody likes him anymore.
He even has to stand in line at the Wailing Wall.
Bye, Vicki. I'm working today, so I best get going too.
(Let's try to get together soon.)
Hey Vicki, how's your day?
Gizmo, a felinofascist?
You've been had folks!!
NO one will have fy.
That's why he's so fucked up.
tena: my first few italy pics...
how about an Individualist Anarchist 
I, on the other hand, am an anti-ismist. Which would of course make me an adherent of anti-ismism. Oh shit.....
e're not fascists; we're anarchists.
It's different.
I bought Grandson a t-shirt that says "Anarchist" but Son won't let him wear it.
One scam follows another and another
Scam or spam?
And is it spiced?
Since namecalling by anyone to the left of Viceroy HAL has been ruled out as offensive to the majority, and since civilitudity became the order of the day.
Shorter TNR:
Kos's response to our polite accusation that he is a fascist was impolite. Fascist.
George Reisman's Double Standard
well, moon- my fascism is very soft, and fluffy. kind of like gizmo.
Come on! He's showing the kitty fist of death! He ain't soft. He could slice you up in seconds, but he chooses not to. For now.
Indeed. What would be soft fascism? Severely chastising Jews and gays?
Taupeshirts.
Terry, is it a Black Muslim Kitty?
plantsman, lowercase
Nah.
Atheist, like me.
He's safe.
Gizmo says:
"Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into my eyes. [click] You're under!"
Mutualism
i don't think TNR could get their little heads round that one....
fy: there is something called the point of diminishing returns. you are well past it.
"e're not fascists; we're anarchists."
which makes it really hard to schedule meetings..
I, on the other hand, am an anti-ismist. Which would of course make me an adherent of anti-ismism.
SO now you're a postantismist?

Dark Moon, tonight, Bitches! Got anything you want to banish? Maybe we should all burn copies of TNR while walking widdershins?
The fact that Peretz now feels obliged to crawl out from under his rock is a sure sign these pricks know they've fucked up, and bad...
Mutualist is a lovely concept.
free market anti captalism
SO now you're a postantismist?

I've been promising my daughter a quilt made with all the fabric she brought me from various countries in Africa. Since she's getting married soon, I decided to make it a double wedding ring. But just can't get my ass in gear.
I was listening to Randi Rhodes yesterday on my way to the gym and she was playing some Bush soundbites, in one of which, Bush was trying to say islamofascist but, of course, got tongue-tied and started to say islo . . . gave up and just said Islamic Fascists. Maybe they should wake him up earlier to practice speaking before his day begins. Hell, it might work!
I'd like to play kos in the movie.
Our voices are about the same but my tits are not as blue.
does anyone expect TNR to give any quarter to Kos after the attacks has made against TNR over the years?
I don't like TNR much but I think Kos did lose it when he claimed that TNR is part of a vast right-wing conspiracy. How can you take such rants seriously?
TNR versus dkos was just a matter of time ... as for the outcome, one will have to consult the stars.
tena: my first few italy pics...
jdw
Those are gorgeous!
But you should have taken a pic of one of those seatless toilets - they say "Italy" to me as almost nothing else does.
Kidding. That shot of Siena is gorgeous - you make me want to go back so bad. I love Siena.
Kos's response to our polite accusation that he is a fascist was impolite. Fascist.
Exactly. When I say that Kos is a fucking libertarian democrat jerk, that's beyond the pale of noting that he is a fascist who shared his red diaper with history's greatest monster, Atrios.
The New Republic is not a right-wing rag.
Just a rag.
A well-used snot rag.
BTW, I should be posting on my blog but I don't want to, so pooh.
i don't want to do any work today. and i should.

SO now you're a postantismist?

Aha, I can tell -- you're a neopostantismist.
That quilt'll be awesome, ql -- you'll do it.

I'm not doing one thing today. I got out yesterday for the first time since I got back. I was pretty worn out by last night. I want to get well, dammit.
Kosland
I don't like TNR much but I think Kos did lose it when he claimed that TNR is part of a vast right-wing conspiracy. How can you take such rants seriously?
Is being called part of a vast rightwing conspiracy on a par with being called a fascist?
I don't like TNR much but I think Kos did lose it when--
You know, it's sad when people you think would know better eat up right-wing bullshit with a spoon.
BTW, I should be posting on my blog but I don't want to, so pooh.
Wou're getting Winnie the Pooh to post on your blog? Nuts. I'm stuck with Piglet.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President
Dick Cheney said a secret program allowing U.S. officials to examine thousands of private banking records around the world was a legal and "absolutely essential" weapon in the war on terror, the New York Times reported on Saturday
oh, i am so surprised. really. can't you tell by the tone of my voice?
Nuts. I'm stuck with Piglet.

And Canada is stuck with fucking Eyore.
Harper is such a tool.

Same here. I'm half-assedly doing a podcast, but gonna head over to Dad's in a little while to have some beers and watch movies.
Is it Westbury, CT that is falling apart from rain?
It looks like maybe this whole thing is just made up bullshit anyway, but even if it isn't, I think the most ironic thing about this is that I have no doubt that these people at TNR have in the past roundly criticized the Democrats for having no party unity or discipline and therefore losing again and again to the well-oiled lockstep Republican machine.
Now, out of the other side of their mouths, they are accusing the emerging blog community of "fascism", of all things, for actually trying to start to behave like it has something resembling message unity and party discipline.
Mind you, I'm not suggesting that Kos ever twisted anybody's arm to do anything, but I'm saying that even if he did, that would only be natural behavior for a leadership figure in an emerging political organization that has actually attained some relevance in the world at large. Shit! in Congress, they have actually institutionalized the position of party arm-twister! And this is FASCISM? It's fucking politics!
And the blogosphere is somehow an authoritarian hellhole while the mainstream media is not? What happened to Dan Rather, eh? What would happen to Zengerle if he finally really got on Peretz' tit? Fired. Sacked. Given the boot. That's what happens. How does that compare to Kos' probably-completley-fake arm-twisting?
I would say that in the case of TNR, defected to the right as in changed their positions to be more in line with the Republicans is not strong enough. I think that Turned Coat, as in actively became part of the forces trying to undermine the Democratic party and the left is more like it.
Postantism is not,perse, forward looking viz-a-viz the liminal inexactitude of semiotic tension as its forensic underpinnings are, of necessity, reflective.
The New Republic is too a right wing rag, but not as readable as the 12th Street Rag.
Dick Cheney said a secret program allowing U.S. officials to examine thousands of private banking records around the world was a legal and "absolutely essential" weapon in the war on terror, the New York Times reported on Saturday
Viceroy HAL went on to excoriate the media for reporting about the spying. Where have I heard this before?
To be honest, I haven't Kos'd much since Markos strongly recommended that all elected officials have military exeperience - ruling out openly gay citizens from holding office (yeah, yeah, I know that wasn't his intent. It just didn't sit well with me and I subsequently discovered FDL and AmericaBlog). I haven't taken in TNR in an even longer time.
of interest regarding the photo (from animaleyecare.com):
Tapetum: The tapetum is a reflective structure that underlies the retina. It acts like a mirror reflecting light back through the retina so the retina gets two chances to catch the light. Animals that are active at night have a tapetum. Dogs, Cats, Horses, and Cows all have tapetums.
and:
A cat's tapetum reflects 130 times more light than the human eye. This is why we see the shiny dog and cat eyes in photographs and at night when headlights or other types of light enter the eyes. Cats can detect light that is 6 times dimmer than that which normal humans detect. Dogs also detect much lower levels of light than humans (but not as low as cats).
You know, it's sad when people you think would know better eat up right-wing bullshit with a spoon.

NJo, that's more postfascist.
Big Time said he was "Offended". At last he knows how it feels.
so if we don't tow the line do we get a visit from the kos secrete police?
dave - there's a simple explanation for why they are eating up rightwing bullshit with a spoon.
It starts with an "e" and ends in "y" and it's really ugly. Three quarters of this back biting is nothing more than jealousy.
Kos and Jerome should have been prepared for it because they have to have known what happens when someone is successful. There is always a long line of people just dying to tear down the person who has climbed up to the top.
OT, but for all you TiVo addicts...

Easily. They are right-winging it.

And I should also be thinking about maybe one day planning to think about starting to think about pod casting, but I don't want to do that either, so pooh again.
There is also a novel kicking around in the back of my brain so maybe I will start to develope the characters. Or drown them alcohol in a little while.
But the president of the united states cannot say islamofascist and as much as I do not like that word, I am even more disappointed that the idiot cannot say it, at all.

I want tapetums, too. That would be so cool. You could scare people to death.
Hahaha!
is that eating up right wing conspiracy bullshit with a spoon, dave?
Syd Barrett
Technically a "conspiracy" has to be an organized agreement, so not all of this bullshit is part of a "right-wing conspiracy" (although it may still be a result of same).
Chomsky had it right... it's so ingrained that there need be no meetings.
I'm sorry ... is there still a Python moratorium on?
I've told you once.
I'm half-assedly doing a podcast
NO FLIRTING.

BTW, if you wanna see what a real insider stock scandal looks like...
Revealed: how nation's countryside is losing hundreds of its species
The vanishing rate is scarcely believable. Well over 200 British insect species have become extinct in the past 50 years, while some counties are seeing a species of wildflower disappear nearly every year.
Yet the astonishing scale of decline in Britain's insects and plants, now becoming clear to specialists, is not yet remotely appreciated by the British public or the British Government.
It is a decline that is unrelenting. Only yesterday came news that the stunning and very rare scarlet malachite beetle pictured on our front page - a priority species for conservation action- has suffered a massive fall in numbers at its main site in Essex, and may be heading for oblivion. For unknown reasons, in the past three years its population has shrunk by more than 75 per cent in the wildflower meadows where it lives - which are themselves gravely threatened.
I am objectively pro-antipasto.
You're right. This pissing match is getting boring. Why don't you all just whip `em out and get a ruler.

jdw - Oh, the bidet is for washing one's feet.
I found after a day of walking, my feet were always filthy and the bidet is the perfect foot washing vehicle.
It also works well for shaving one's legs. Since they are often almost in the shower with one, they are very handy for those purposes.

Iraq's sectarian violence leaves widows to suffer
When Wadah Abid al-Emear feared his meeting would overrun, he asked his wife to go ahead of him to prepare for Eid.
The couple planned to leave Baghdad and head back to her Kurdish home town of Shaklawa for the celebrations. Hours later, as he followed behind, Mr Emear, 42, was dragged from his car by insurgents, tortured, mutilated and murdered - his body left at the roadside.
Today Dunea Ramez, 31, sits alone in what was her husband's favourite room of the house he designed himself. The windows are enlarged to give the best view of the mountains he adored. Clad in black and leading a now isolated life, she has at times been so despondent she contemplated killing herself along with her seven-year-old son, Kefah.

This is the same TNR whose soccer blog included the contribution
With the U.S. out of the tournament, many of us may not quite know which flag to wrap ourselves in for the duration of the Cup. (I only know it won't be the flag of the air fiddling, cry baby, possibly fascist, greasy-maned Italians.)
Why don't you all just whip `em out and get a ruler.
Done. Who's next?
What the fuck is this idiot talking about?
He's not an idiot. He's someone who disagrees with you [and me, but I'm not the one calling him an idiot].
Does anyone actually read TNR or subscribe to it anymore? And if so, why? Why would anyone continue to read or, even worse, pay for the scribblings of asshats who put themselves forward as "experts" on political and policy opinion, yet obviously do not understand the meaning of the word "fascist"?
My prediction: the blogs will survive and thrive; TNR will go the way of the dinosaurs within a few short years.

GOPer proposes forced labor camps for illegal immigrants
by Joe in DC - 6/24/2006 10:21:00 AM
The GOP can set up the forced labor camp for illegals right next to the forced deprogramming camp for gays:
A Republican gubernatorial candidate's call for creation of a forced labor camp for illegal immigrants drew rebukes Friday from two GOP lawmakers, who labeled it a low point in the immigration debate.
Don Goldwater, nephew of the late Sen. Barry Goldwater, caused an international stir this week when EFE, a national news agency of Spain, quoted him as saying he wanted to hold undocumented immigrants in camps to use them "as labor in the construction of a wall and to clean the areas of the Arizona desert that they're polluting."
The article described Goldwater's plan as a "concentration camp" for migrants.

Dave, when somebody does not agree with the consensus around here, why is it that you are always the first in line to start throwing rocks. I have not only often disagreed with Syd Barrett, I have even expressed suspicion about his intentions. But I have never seen fit to call him an idiot, asshole, WATB, wanker, shitwhistle, or any other childish bit of invective.
Really, dave, you strike me as the kid in the neighborhood who really couldn't feel good about himself unless he was making sure some other kid got excluded from playing in the treehouse.

Underwater volcano discovered off Sicily
Italian scientists have announced the discovery of a huge active underwater volcano off the southern coast of Sicily, shaped like a horseshoe and with a peak more than 500 metres high.
The find was the result of investigations into a submerged volcanic cone which caused an international rumpus in the summer of 1831 when, after an earthquake on the Sicilian coast and much spitting of fire and stones from below the sea, it rose above the surface of the waves. The new island was claimed by the British, who sailed over from Malta, planted the Union Jack and named it Graham Island.
An island at this strategic point in the Mediterranean - closer to the southern coast of France and Spain than Malta - was of obvious interest to the world's greatest naval power. But Ferdinand II, the Bourbon king of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, saw the matter differently and sent men across to the smoking, evil-smelling cone to remove the flag and plant one of his own. He named the island Ferdinandea.

Kos and his site have a lot wrong with them, much of which we have commented on. There are a lot of legitimate gripes from others upthread. That said, because we (to include Kos and most people reading this) are leftish, every single time we make a small or moderate mistake THE ONLY POSSIBLE ANSWER is to totally abandon the errors of failing to conform to extreme right-wing establishmentarianism.
Kos wasn't as forthcoming as he could've been about a slimeball business partner (this, by the way, is the only real charge TNR is concerned with): for that DailyKos should be made into a parking lot? This whole thing reeks of the standard conservatron lack of proportion: Bush is murdering what will eventually be millions in a perpetual war against humanity, torturing people in gulags without any pretence of legality, but Kos was less than perfectly honest about what other people were doing!

Armed police raid house after boy seen with toy gun
A solicitor has described being confronted with a scene reminiscent of "a Bruce Willis movie" when armed police officers stormed his home after his son was seen with a replica toy gun.
John Trimbos, 42, and his 15-year-old son, Olly, were handcuffed after officers smashed down the door of their flat in Belsize Park, north London. Mr Trimbos' wife, Lucy, and their youngest son, Felix, aged seven, were left traumatised by the raid.
The solicitor described hearing a loud bang as the door was broken down. He said: "I went out into the corridor to see what it was - it was like something out of a Bruce Willis movie. There was plaster dust everywhere. I could see armed police officers. They all had flak jackets, helmets and goggles and were pointing guns straight at me."

Thers, Blogfascist
Actually, the Peretzosaurus, with it's mud burrowing habitat, was reduced to vestigal limbs that were of no use in locomotion, although they still retained some function, being waved in the air to attract mates.
The extinction of the Peretzosaurus can be attributed to the inadequacy of said limbs for the aforementioned task.

Militia offers to protect media
The Islamist militia now controlling the Somali capital says it will protect foreign media following the murder of Swedish journalist Martin Adler.
Mr Adler, 47, was shot dead as he filmed a rally in Mogadishu on Friday.
The chairman of Somalia's Union of Islamic Courts, Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, sent condolences to Mr Adler's family and promised to track down the killer.
The rally was in support of Thursday's peace deal between the Islamists and the interim government.

Buckeye - tips for medicating cats:
First, assume a kneeling position, legs slightly spread, sitting back on your haunches. Place cat between legs. Grasp cat's head from underneath. This will cause cat to attempt to back up to get away; your kneeling position will prevent this means of escape. Holding cat's head, proceed to medicate as needed. For ears, administer drops, then continue holding on to cat's head with one hand while massaging ear that has just been medicated with the other. This is important because, as soon as you release your hold on the cat's head, the cat will shake to try to dispel whatever has been placed in the ear. Repeat procedure on other ear. Release cat.
If you're giving a pill, crank the cat's head back with the hand you've placed under the chin, with other hand, insert finger into cat's mouth to pry teeth apart, place pill as far into cat's mouth as possible, then hold cat's mouth shut while stroking along its throat to encourage swallowing.

He was breathtaking. When I told him goodbye, I told him that he was the single most beautiful human being I've ever laid eyes on. He had the good graces to be surprised by my saying that. He is to gorgeous and smart and sincerely charming to be believed.

England fans arrested in Germany
Some 122 English football supporters in Germany have been arrested after an evening of disturbances in Stuttgart.
Police tried to move a group of drunken fans in the main square who were said to have been singing songs insulting to Germans and other nationalities.

No known troublemakers were among the mostly "preventative arrests". As many as 60,000 fans are expected in the city for Sunday's match with Ecuador.

My late great cat, Bob, could hold a pill while I was holding his mouth shut for 45 minutes and still spit it out when I let go.

Yemen president seeks another run
Yemen's president declared Saturday that he intended to run for another term in September's presidential polls, saying that he had caved in to popular pressure to reverse his decision of last year.
Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has ruled since 1978, said last July that he would not seek another seven-year mandate because he wanted to open the way for the peaceful rotation of power.
Saturday's announcement was the second time Saleh changed his mind about an earlier statement not to run, having done so in 1999 - the first time he faced a direct vote.

I don't know how they do it, but anyway, in Siena, there was a gorgeous young guy posing as a cavalier all day. I dropped a coin in his cup and dropped a bill on the street accidentally. He touched my arm and pointed to the bill. I picked it up and turned to go and he touched my arm again and held out his gloved hand. I put my hand in his and while he held my eyes (his were green) he bent down and kissed my hand.
I damn near swooned.

When the second goal went in the noise was like Concorde taking off. The Germans sure know how to party - what a difference to the scenes in the same square earlier on, which saw trouble caused by England fans. Now, though, there's a big group of England fans singing songs outside the square watching the game. They are standing among the German fans and it is all good natured.

The Germans sure know how to party
From a friend stationed on a multinational base prior to the rape of Iraq, we heard an account of English and Germans. We thought the English were extraordinarily, effortlessly, sincerely charming; their officers made a point of treating all Americans as equals and being as nice as possible. You'd be in this terribly interesting conversation in the stupid, terror-inviting long line for chow and suddenly realize you were talking to a British Colonel. But he hated the English and avoided them like the plague because, in Kuwait, they despaired of the constant extreme heat and gave up showering. The Germans, on the other hand, were always businesslike, professional, and on the ball. Come five o'clock or whenever they got off, they'd be like: "You get the beer, you get the steaks, Dieter and I will set up the volleyball nets. See you at the park area in five minutes. Los."
Buckeye - JR is correct; it's the suffocation that kills the mites. I just used the olive oil because it's a bit more fluid than some of the other oils. Just a few drops (2 - 3) should do the trick. It will also help remove the brown waxy ick they get from having the mites. Repeat after a couple of days just to make sure you've got them all.

my sister recently went to Italy, her beau's friend was getting married in Rome.
they were going to visit the Vatican, but it proved pretty crowded so they decided not to.
The oil suffocates mites thing is used on plants, too, except in hot weather.
Well, I was pissed off at the Germans before I left the country. I read that they were really rude to the black soccer players, no matter what country they played for. They made monkey sounds from the stands.
I hate that shit and it was one big reason I was delighted when Ghana beat us.
I know all Germans aren't like that. I met a couple of really nice young German men in the course of the trip. But that kind of shit is downright scary.
Is European food generally better portioned than American piles?

Have you seen the short film The Black Rider?
"The women aren't any slouches, either. I've never seen such style. Everywhere."
i thought the women were incredible...even the so-so ones were sexy.
the women in rome, tho? as you approached them they'd stare at ya...they wanted to make sure you were looking, then as you'd pass instead of smiling or looking down, they'd avert their eyes up..literally nose in the air...
the country girls were much nicer..and just as pretty but without the high fashion..
the nicest woman we met in rome was actually a czech...she was incredibly hot, i thought she was a model...she told me men in italy wouldn't touch her because she wasn't italian...i told her to come to the usa...men would line up.
Africans used to ride through West Berlin on trains bound for Moscow, and were treated badly by Germans and Russians alike.

Moonbootica,
The Vatican is unbelievably jammed with people. We went and had to wait in line on the street for 2 hours to get in (we were late for our appointment.) Once inside, it was a solid sea of people being directed up and down stairs, through corridors, everything to control the flow trying to get to the Sistine Chapel.
I was sick - I was hit with turista while standing in line. The whole thing was a terrible ordeal, but the Sistine Chapel is worth it and 10000 times more hassle. It cannot be described. The pictures fail utterly to convey the impact of that ceiling. I'd do it again, even sick as I was.
the women in rome, tho? as you approached them they'd stare at ya...they wanted to make sure you were looking, then as you'd pass instead of smiling or looking down, they'd avert their eyes up..literally nose in the air...

Since I wasn't staring at the women in Italy, I didn't notice anything like you describe, jdw.
I saw some gorgeous women, though. Just stunning.

I wanted to get a check from Markos also, but then I saw he used ALL CAPS sometimes, so David Horowitz diagnosed him with narcisisstic personality disorder, and I became a lunatic wingnut.
My third wife loved Katherine Hepburn in 'Summertime,' the tale of a spinster's season in Venice; she never got over it, in fact. And I had to see her duplicate that role in regional summer theatre for five straight years.
The divorce, though long delayed, was to be expected.
I've married twice since then; they failed too but not because of sentimental clattertrap about moongazing in Venice, purple lights in Spain or any other Cole Porter-such fabrication.

Racism in Europe - bad bad bad, always was. That's where it started.
The situation in Italy with regard to immigration is fascinating. There are men from North Africa and other parts of Africa, I'm sure, all over the place, selling knockoffs of Vuitton and watches on the streets. I'm told they are not allowed to stay. They are taken by bus every night to a place where they are fed and housed and as soon as the season is over, they are kicked right out of the country.
Let me tell you, there was a guy selling stuff on the steps of the Uffizi that I would have followed back to Africa in a heartbeat. There were some drop dead gorgeous African men selling shit on the street in ITaly.
And women from Southeast Asia selling scarves all over the country, too.

To play devil's advocate for a minute on the Kos situation...
http://goodnonsense.blogspot.com/2006/06/one-last-
time.html
But, as someone more outside than inside, I just want to warn people that the case that seems so apparent to all the insiders, the Yearly Kossers, is not clear at all. Right now, if anyone is paying attention at all, it comes off as he said/he said, and everybody looks like people we should change the channel on. Gilliard says he never sent the incriminating memo and Greenwald backs him? So f******g what? Zengerle says he did. Are we going to claim that bloggers aren't journalists so shouldn't protect sources? Really want to go down the "outing sources" road? It happens that I believe my side on this, but that's because I respect Greenwald from his blog. The people who don't know him from their school board member just hear "blah, blah, blah."
The fact is that this is primarily just a flame war, but it's setting some precedents and showing some predilections that I am very concerned about. There are two questions here that, if either is answered "yes," the progressive blogs are making a big mistake in their approach:
1. Did Armstrong accept a settlement that punishes him in his civil suit with the SEC?
2. Did Kos try to organize a blog effort to keep that very relevant point about an A-lister's credibility from the rest of the community?

Money-tracking leak angers Cheney
US Vice-President Dick Cheney has condemned as "offensive" US media disclosures of a secret programme that probes global financial transactions.
The government has covertly tracked thousands of international money transactions for nearly five years as part of its so-called war on terror.
Mr Cheney said leaking the programme played into the enemy's hands.
The New York Times defended its coverage, saying the information was in the public's interest.

A woman alleged to be a prostitution "kingpin" has also been charged.
Two senior politicians were arrested on Tuesday in connection with the scandal, which has led to widespread protests.

Dozens held in Saudi terror raids
Saudi authorities have announced the arrest of more than 40 people in raids against alleged al-Qaeda members.
The number includes two people arrested after a clash between Saudi police and alleged al-Qaeda insurgents on Friday which left six insurgents and one policeman dead.
The Saudi interior ministry said 27 men were arrested for "suspicious activities" in May in a series of raids across the country; in the capital, Riyadh, Mecca and in the Eastern province and northern border.
Of these men, two were Somali, one Ethiopian and the rest Saudi nationals.

Hundreds of migrants reach Italy
Boats carrying at least 370 illegal immigrants have arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa.
The first vessel reached the island overnight, carrying about 170 people, after evading air and sea patrols.
At least two more boats were later intercepted, with more than 200 immigrants on board.
Lampedusa, between Sicily and North Africa, is a major route into Europe for immigrants, travelling in often rickety boats. Many perish on the way.
Last month, some 500 migrants arrived on the island, in one of the largest such landings.

US sends home 14 Saudis held at Guantanamo
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fourteen Saudi Arabian nationals in U.S. custody at the Guantanamo Bay prison for foreign terrorism suspects have been sent home, the Pentagon said on Saturday.
It said the latest repatriation leaves about 120 detainees that the United States has determined are eligible for "transfer or release" and about 450 prisoners in total.
"Departure of these remaining detainees approved for transfer or release is subject to ongoing discussions between the United States and other nations," the Pentagon said in a statement.
Many of the men held at the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, were captured in Afghanistan in the U.S.-led war to oust the Taliban after the September 11 attacks. Many have been held for years and nearly all are being held without charge.

The "new iMac" could be a "new PC".
Hosts Germany booked their place in the World Cup quarter-finals as two early goals from Lukas Podolski helped them to victory over 10-man Sweden.
Podolski scored on just four minutes, driving home the loose ball after Sweden keeper Andreas Isaksson parried.
And Podolski finished smartly after Klose's smart pass on 12 minutes.
Sweden's Teddy Lucic was sent off for a second booking on 35 minutes and their miserable day was complete when Henrik Larsson missed a second-half penalty.
Has Molly Ivors been around and about?
Much, much earlier today...
"Fascist" is the most over-used and misused term I've ever seen. Both side need to just stop with this crap.
Well, as far as I can tell, only TNR invoked fascism here, so if by "both sides" you mean "TNR", I guess I'm with you.
Plum p, I want to put this gently, but your mom has no business getting her nose in your ovaries; even though the push for grandchildren is so strong, usually.
Tena, the men in Greece and Yugoslavia are even better looking, believe it or not.

Not so sure about the Greeks, but second the South Slavs. My interest in the ex-Yugoslavia isn't purely historical or moral!
You know, you'd think if you were gonna post the same exact thing over and over and over, you'd get so bored you'd at least change one fucking word every now and then...
Was that meant to be laughably ironic?
"JDW--when are we going fishing???

as soon as i get near the town of wherever the heck yer at....
JP: Molly hasn't been here for the last couple of hours. Nice Curly by the way
Plantsman: you're so nice. Now i have to go water my flowers outside!
See ya later atriots and atriettes

We've had this discussion before, and I get that you're unhappy with people liking things you don't, even though Intel Macs can run Windows, so pish.
"You know, you'd think if you were gonna post the same exact thing over and over and over, you'd get so bored you'd at least change one fucking word every now and then..."
what...you didn't notice the use of 'bold' to make it more effctive?
gotta run bats...work calls..
Was that meant to be laughably ironic?
Well... not really, I guess. I've had some jobs where I had to do some pretty boring, repetitive things, and it just seemed like human nature to want to break things up a bit.
Of course, I guess the operative word here is "human."

Hey, at least it's no big deal to scroll past it now. Why won't you admit defeat, fy? You can't vandalize this blog with your scroll troll posts anymore, so why not just give up? Or why not actually try to communicate and enter the debate if you hate the Democrats so much for their lack of true liberal credibility? If you say anything semi-intelligent, at least I will try to talk to you.
new sheets
i'm outta here
There's a Theodore Roosevelt quote you should read, that blows your statement away.
plantsman, lowercase
Not my statement. But then, if I'd linkied Digby's post, like I shoulda, y'all might have some idea what Elmer's babbling about...
fy: Why the fuck don't you ask someone who can do what you want instead of boring us with it?
...even though Intel Macs can run Windows...
As I mentioned above, I'd stay away from the Intel Macs if you plan on running anything other than Apple software.
Meanwhile, I bought another computer last week, to replace our current main house computer. We brought it home, took it out of the box, hooked up the monitor, turned it on and It. Just. Worked.
A Compaq PC that cost 1/3 what a comparably-featured Mac would. 'Nuff said!
I'll nap between matches.

He's too busy being a jerkoff.
fy sucks pus from diseased donkey balls.
Beyond that, I don't give a shit as to what blogger got embroiled in what legal problems. It has nothing to do with me or with all other bloggers, any more than one person committing a crime implies the guilt of every person. Only stupid asshole donkey ball pus sucking morons would think otherwise.
And even beyond that, getting into a legal tangle is not indicative of the individual so entangled being a liar, or stupid, or any thing other than a human prone to make mistakes as are we all. Some of us consider sucking pus from donkey balls to be a mistake, perhaps even a bigger one than having a go-round with the SEC. Only stupid assholish donkey ball pus suckers would think otherwise.
Look! Up there? On the grassy knoll!
kos! kos! Is that you?
Plum P--I've got 11 years on you, child.
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
I got 13.

Payback's a bitch, isn't it? All the Mac-lots jumping on the PC folks, and a little ribbing in return and you get all personal.
fy sucks pus from diseased donkey balls.
He claims to have written a book.
I'm betting that he hasn't read one since he left high school.
A Compaq PC
*shudder*
The last time I "repaired" one of them it involved a deadblow mallet and a pair of tinsnips.
my maternal grandfather celebrates his 90th birthday next year, so that will be a big party! | Moonbootica, Buffy Geek - 12:55 pm
Is this an open invitation?
If they build a second Chunnel between, say, Bournemouth or Southampton and Italy, Tena will be able to make it! 
That kitty's flipping the bird. And rightfully so.
