Dunno about up there, but down here, the bigguns ain't skeeters -- I'm told they're mayflies (aren't those the ones that only live one day?), but they look like huge mosquitos, easily 10x or more the size of a real skeeter.

GravatarPalestinian PM: Israel Aims to Oust Gov't

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Friday that Israel's offensive in Gaza - including the kidnappings of some of his Cabinet ministers - was part of a premeditated plan to bring down the Hamas-led government.

In his first public comments since the Israeli offensive started, Haniyeh said Palestinian leaders were working hard to end the standoff but implied they would not trade a captive soldier for eight Cabinet ministers and 56 other Hamas officials arrested Thursday.

Israel's air force has struck more than 30 targets in Gaza - including the Palestinian Interior Ministry - in response to Sunday's kidnapping of Cpl. Gilad Shalit, 19, by Hamas-linked militants. Thousands of Israeli soldiers backed by tanks also have taken up positions in southern Gaza.

Haniyeh said the military offensive was not only about rescuing the soldier but also about crippling Hamas, which won January parliamentary elections.

GravatarI heard something about a German player scoring a goal and giving a Nazi salute?
Moe Szyslak


The player in question was Lukas Podolski, a 20-year old Polish-German (born in Poland). I think the way the shot was edited made it look like it was a Nazi salute. There's been no mention of it in any media that I've seen. I doubt he'd be stupid enough to commit a crime in front of a world-wide audience.


GravatarWill the TSA come and drag me away if I type "Fuck Bush"? I guess I'll find out.


GravatarThis gives an entirely different picture of Martin Niemoller than posted on the kitty thread. Wonder where the truth lies?

I must have missed the comment on the kitty thread. I have always believed the man was not just a real Christian, but a hero and indeed, perhaps, an honest to god saint.

I have no problem believing that there are and have been good Christians, even in this country. What I do not see at all presently, nor have I for quite some time, is any kind of organized liberal American Christianity. That's all I'm saying. Where it pops up in some denominations, it sure seems to me to create a huge backlash in the denomination. viz, The American Anglican Church. There is a war internally in American Christianity and the conservatives are winning, hands down.

GravatarArabella - those no see ums' bites hurt like a sonofabitch too. I got bitten by them at a meeting in Florida once. Of course I was the only one bitten. I should hire myself out for outdoor weddings and the like - when I show up, everything that bites wants my blood. I think it supposedly has to do with having thinner skin or the like.


GravatarOnce I wound up on a flight next to a clown. And he was juggling snakes! On a plane!

GravatarSteve,

saw it last night over at the IMAX on 68th.

Not half as bad as most of the reviews made it out to be; enjoyable in parts.

but the dude Brandon Routh really was playing the part of Christopher Reeve, not Superman. It was eerie.


GravatarWhere do I pick them, Hecate

If you scroll down to where my blogroll is on the right-hand side, you can click on Lunea Weatherstone's site and pick three cards from there. I promise I won't say, "This isn't good; this isn't bad."


GravatarNext up on the flick list:

"Strangers With Candy"

We could be twins. I have found that if I don't eat anything sweet or drink any alcohol I'm likely to get bitten a bit less, but where's the fun in that? I just annoint myself with sacred oil of deet on every square inch of my body and hope for the best.

Go to the oracle and move your cursor around until you feel like stopping. Your subconscious knows which cards you should see.


GravatarI just loved "Shakes the Clown."

That movie was very very sick and very very funny.


GravatarI particularly liked that Singer used the Robert Able title design from the first Reeve film - cool. And there was lots of Brando voice-over (and a bit of reprocessed film).

A real solid film, though a little long. Imagine - an indie-flavored blockbuster.

Felt sorry for Sups - which, I think was the goal.


GravatarHecate:

That cat loved sacks.

He loved it when we brought in the groceries. We would put two (paper) bags on the floor, open ends facing each other. He'd get in one, then shoot to the other one. Back and forth.

Then he got his head in the handle of a bag once, and ran through the house like Superman.

GravatarNTodd: Prolly 10 years. Natasha. Natasha...

It'd been almost 20 for me... the beauty of which is that I'd forgotten all but the barest hints of the plot, so it was a rediscovery.

The husband kills the clown when he walks in on hot clown sex. The couple get rid of the body. They keep the clown suit so that the husband can wear it when they have sex.

Now that's what I call a tarot spread. The Empress and the King of Earth (Pentacles) tell me that you've been going through a very fertile period, and are going to be able to nourish, protect, and keep what you've gained. You're at a period where you're happy with yourself and can enjoy life. The 7 of Earth is about being willing to allow your harvest to ripen. Don't rush things. Some natural cycles simply take a certain amount of time.

Obviously, Democrats should not join Republicans in pretending that they have a lock on divine truth, but they can speak to people's anxiety, their hunger for community and purpose. The religious right offers people a narrative arc, not just about their own lives, but also about America's decline and imminent resurrection. Democrats need a mobilizing vision as well, one that speaks to the despair that underlies so much of our politics.

i missed the Obama thread (and my friends were probably not unhappy about it)...

that said His is just patent crap:
"if evolution is true, life has no meaning. "Where's this universe heading?" she asked. "What's the purpose of it all? There's no standard, no guidelines."

BULLSHIT, babe...
meaning is an entirely human construct. you make meaning all by your feeble, little self. if what you can do doesn't cut it for you, i'm fucking sorry aas fucking hell...

but evolution does not 'rob' life of meaning. it is, i might say, only evolution that gives us the possibility of meaning.

Gravatar$10m reward to find Iraq killers

Russia is offering a $10m (£5.4m) reward for information leading to the capture of the militants who killed four Russian diplomats in Iraq.

A group linked to al-Qaeda released a video on Monday showing two of the captives being killed.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered special services to "find and destroy" the killers of the hostages, who were abducted in early June.

The reward offer has been widely publicised on Arab television channels.

GravatarWoody - bacl in the mid-80's, i lived with my elderly mil in San Pedro for a few months and cared for her after a heart attack. There were a lot of sexual-abuse stories in the news at the time, the McMartin case most prominently, asit was local. I remember her thinking hard and coming to the conclusion that, "dese kids must be making it up. All over da place." I argued with her for a while, until I realized it was easier for her to believe that than to turn her world inside out. Same mindset.

Ohmygoodness!! CUTE!!


GravatarHuffington Post is about the only quasi-blog site that isn't filtered out at work, and I scuff and scrounge around an awful lot there these days. I posted the following on HuffPo in response to Michelle Goldberg's article linked by Atrios earlier today:

When I read Obama's remarks, and then this post, I felt as I'd slipped into a parallel universe where Camus and Sartre never existed. Perhaps this is my own projection, but even this article seems to posit a norm in which in everyday political activity, people maintain a conspicuously appreciative attitude about religious and spiritual matters. It's OK to be non-denominational, or a professed skeptic or athiest, but one must publicly affirm that, on the whole, religious pursuits are commendable and laudable and respectable.

It's Not Nice to appear disrespectful, skeptical, cynical, not to mention hostile, to religious matters. I'm not a Democrat-- for me, it always comes down to whether or not to bother voting for the Lesser Evil-- but I've had enough of having my soul twisted by well-meaning folks on our side that it's only natural to buy into the piety of piety.

• I find Obama condescending, personally-- and never more than when he trivialized the importance or meaning of kids being compelled to "... mutter 'under God' during the Pledge of Allegiance..."

We freethinkers are perhaps more acutely conscious of how this imperative to promote the universal wonderfulness of religious belief places a premium on such belief, so that religious citizens are effectively one-up on we heathens, mystics, searchers, and undeclared.

The bottom line for me is that religion is a private matter, notwithstanding the fact that religious individuals mean religious groups, organizations, and businesses. It shouldn't translate into political advantage, preference, or entitlement. And citizens who do not profess religion should be spared ostentatious demonstrations of affinity with religious groups, be it Sung Myung Moon or Jerry Falwell. And also spared polite sermons about cozying up to religion to facilitate political progress. I'm beginning to feel like Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve, fending off his nephew's determined good cheer.


GravatarI also put in a request for a tarot reading: 3 of Earth, Ace of Fire, 2 of Air.
I've had palm readings, but never a tarot reading.


Gravatar" There's no standard, no guidelines."" We have a world now where we, even in matters of -faith- need an external standard, external guidelines - the world of the constantly updated permanent record.


What's strange about this is the complete lack of worldly perspective. We've always had standards, always had guidelines. It was called mother nature. And if you didn't live by those guidelines you either starved to death or got eaten.
The purpose of this 'external' guidelines crap should always come with a disclaimer at the end stating that they(christian dominionists) will be the sole arbiters of enforcing these guidelines with life and death consquences.

GravatarWhen I read Obama's remarks, and then this post, I felt as I'd slipped into a parallel universe where Camus and Sartre never existed.

Not sure how a politician is supposed to address issues of existentialism and phenomenology, to be honest. Hard enough trying to do it as a Christian pastor (it's the underpinning of my theology).

But I talked about this at my blog, and my opinions are my own. My take on Obama's speech is different, but then it depends on where your focus is. I don't disagree with some of what's been said around here. But clearly we are all reading/hearing different speeches.

So it goes.


GravatarWe could be twins. I have found that if I don't eat anything sweet or drink any alcohol I'm likely to get bitten a bit less, but where's the fun in that? I just annoint myself with sacred oil of deet on every square inch of my body and hope for the best.

Mosquitoes don't choose me if there is anyone else with me, including a dog. I get bitten only if I'm out alone. I read somewhere that it has to do with blood groups but I doubt it, somehow, as my sister is the same 0-neg and she's the one the mosquitoes feast on.

GravatarVatican opens inter-war archives

The Vatican is to open its archives to allow historians to access documents from 1922 to 1939.

Documents from the pontificate of Pius XI will be made available, and could provide an insight into the Vatican's attitude towards the growth of Nazism.

New information about the Catholic church's views on the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s may also be unearthed.

Pius XI's successor, Pius XII, has long been accused of failing to help Jews during the Nazi genocide during WWII.

But the key records potentially contained in Pius XII's archive will remain closed, despite requests from rabbis and Jewish historians when current Pope Benedict XVI was elected.

Gravatarhttp://www.miscken.com/superman/...rman/ page4.html
We've seen Superman as an immigrant, now let's look at him as a saviour. To begin a look at his birth name, Kal-El, is a good place to start. El, in Hebrew, means God as a root, and is often used in the names of angels in Hebrew mythology. El can also mean 'of God' as a affix, and can be found in names of the Old Testament and is names of angels in Semitic mythologies.

Kal can mean "with lightness" or "swiftness" or can be translated as "everything" or "all." Thus, "Kal-El, then can be read as 'all that is God,' of perhaps more in the spirit of the myth of Superman, 'all that God is.' (Engle 86)

Parts of his speech I don't like; no doubt about it. I tend to read it as I did at my blog, however, rather than slice it up along certain quotes about evolution or other popular (and poorly understood, popularly) themes.

But the public perception is that "Xian=James Dobson crossworshipper." For Obama to address, and redress, that issue, would take a series of speeches, not just one.

Gravatarfrom what i know the Romans let their slaves keep their religion.

there was a blending of the Greek and Roman pantheon, their traditional Latin gods and goddsesses began to be pared with the Greek deities.

in fact as long as you honoured the Emperor they were pretty flexible.

granted several times they tried to quash foreign religions if they proved a security risk, the cult of Bacchus and of Isis spring to mind and of course their persecution of the Christians is well known.

yes, or rather they are just stringing you along.

i so remember sending emails about j. scarborough, who himself is bad enough, but what i really resented was he kept piggybacking his show off that racist bastard michael savage 'Savage Nation'. it was just like when j. stewart passes off to cobert, except it was disgusting.

i don't know, maybe this is prejudiced and racist too, and i know it's a controversial sociological theory, but my mother used to opine that the lower bred would multiply out of proportion to the finer bred and take over the society. at the time it seemed a bit out of bounds to me, but she may have been correct. at any rate orwell was not wrong about the proles. so fuck it, at least i feel certain they won't take my porn. narcotic for the masses, while the rich rape away.

Superman's creation the late 1930's was anti-nazi propaganda meant to counter the 'aryan master race of supermen' concept hence the reason Superman had distinctly dark hair and dark eyes which some who knew Shuster suggested was meant to imply the character was the jewish messiah born from his fantasies of liberating Europe's jewish population from the nazi tyranny.

GravatarArgentina crash out in mass brawl

Fighting erupts on pitch after penalty shoot-out and Coach Pekerman quits as hosts surge into semi-final


The World Cup erupted at the Olympiastadion here last night in scenes that mixed violence and delirium. As Germany began celebrating the 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory over Argentina which takes them into the semi-finals, a mass brawl broke out among the players in the centre circle. The drama continued afterwards when the Argentina coach Jose Pekerman said that he would be standing down from his position.

But it is the fighting that is set to be investigated by Fifa. There were counter-accusations about what initiated the trading of punches but Michael Ballack, the Germany captain, gave the most detailed explanation. He said that as each of Germany's four penalty-takers walked to the box they were abused by Argentina's players waiting on the half-way line.

Sadly, the real reason we're in this war is that someone told this joke and Bush mis-heard it as "Iraq..."


GravatarAfter 250 years, France falls for Marie Antoinette

Newest celebrity in Paris is Austrian-born queen who was guillotined in 1793


At the Ladurée patisserie on Paris's left bank, the calorific Marie Antoinette Collection filling two window displays gave a new meaning to the mythical phrase let them eat cake. Pyramids of pastel macaroons inspired by the ball gowns of the "unappreciated heroine" were on sale next to white chocolate royal carriages and special Marie Antoinette tea.

"She's everywhere you look," sighed Pascal Seebag, a businessman from Aix-en-Provence, queuing for macaroons.

"When I was at school she was just 'that wicked queen', but now she's a misunderstood celebrity. The fact that we're a republic makes no difference. We're obsessed with celebrity gossip magazines and other countries' royal families. We had King Mitterrand and King Chirac, we have a monarchic presidency, so I suppose it's a logical step that we've become completely obsessed with Marie Antoinette."


GravatarGee. I shoulda refreshed more often. Hm.


GravatarI don't believe there has ever been a successful social movement that hasn't been led by the women. The women somehow have to be drawn into the immorality of war on a large scale so they will teach their children (and their husbands).

GravatarWarrant for Mexico ex-president

A Mexican court has issued an arrest warrant for former President Luis Echeverria, accused of genocide for an alleged massacre of students in 1968.

The decision came two days before Mexicans vote to elect a new president.

Mr Echeverria, 84, allegedly ordered the killing of student protesters in 1968, days before the Olympic Games opened in Mexico City.

Prosecutors say up to 300 people may have died when government agents hidden among regular soldiers opened fire.

Mr Echeverria was interior minister in 1968 at the time of the killings in Tlatelolco Square.

GravatarIndian minister to quit WTO talks

Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath has said he will walk out of World Trade Organisation talks early as members failed to reach agreement.

Talking to the BBC, Mr Nath said he saw "no movement" in the talks and that his staying on would make "no difference".

The trade talks are set to continue all weekend in Geneva but Mr Nath said he planned to leave on Saturday.

Agriculture was the main sticking point, he said, adding it was "hard to see how [members] could make progress".

Mr Nath said what was being offered "might be free trade but it is not fair trade".

GravatarSuperman's creation the late 1930's was anti-nazi propaganda meant to counter the 'aryan master race of supermen'

Superman was "inspired" by a science fiction novel about a super being called "Gladiator", which was published in 1930. Moreover, Siegel and Shuster actually created Superman in 1933, but it took them several years to convince someone to print it. They tried to sell it as a comic strip, but there were no takers (Shuster's artwork was too crude by newspaper comic strip standards). Comic book publishers were less discriminating about the quality of the material they were willing to publish, and so Superman became a comic book hero instead in 1938.

GAZA (Reuters) - Three Palestinian militant groups that captured an Israeli soldier demanded in a statement on Saturday that Israel free 1,000 Arab prisoners held in its jails and end its offensive.

The document titled "Military Statement Number Two", which was faxed to news agencies, did not specify whether the demands were for the release of Corporal Gilad Shalit.

But a spokesman for the military wing of the governing Hamas group, one of the three factions, said they were conditions for freeing Shalit.

GravatarMaybe just comic book too-cute alliteritivityness?

In the case of Marvel comics' Stan Lee, "alliteritivityness" actually had a practical purpose. Lee has a notoriously bad memory. Using alliterative names made them easier to remember. Given he was writing practically Marvel's entire line during the 1960's he needed all the help he could get.

It's amazing how many alliterative names he came up with - Peter Parker, J. Jonah Jameson, Betty Brant, Bruce Banner, Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Doctor Doom aka Victor Von Doom, Scott Summers, Paste Pot Pete...

Every time BushCo tries to paint the Ds as weak on terror with all their phoney amendments, etc - the dems have been using their time at the podium to slam BushCo for all their misdeeds - the power grab, Valerie Plame, secretly breaking laws, and for the Republican Congress for their lack of oversight!!

past shipwrecks into inversions of foam and light. Red were the dim eyes, in visions past. Eternal was their sorrow, in holy arms where they never thought to find a home.

Abandoned were the precepts, in sullen graves placed in the backpocket of morning.

Dims traced what was left of the world's thinning dust.

They found what they sought in the trembling leaves, turning tame in the yards, where neighbors spied on roving armies, made mad with money and stories of filth.

Continents overturned in their dreams.
Kings consorted with angels,
