HULK SMASH!!!
FUCK BUSH IMMEDIATELY
And Gwen Awful is a liar?
PBS Sucks the Green Weenie?
If they actually lost their pretentiousness there would nothing left?
They believe they know what you do not know when they do not even understand what an intelligent child understands without instruction?
or 3
Just what I always wanted: free space to write and write and write.
You see reporting the news depends (apparently) on no knowlege of history, no knowledge of the Constitution, Adherence to obviously fascist policies in the name of protecting America from terra ists.
In which I take Rick Moran to task for not quite understanding Hamdan v. Rumsfeld.
I was away from the radio when that bit was on... but caught a funny re: Rush... and how he's facing a "stiff" penalty.
So it's not all bad.
NPR beats PBS all to shit.
No she diiiiiiiiiiiiiin't!
I heard that this morning and wanted to put my fist right through the radio. My blood boiled.
Sing song voice she had. La de da.
What a liar.
Damn Steve, I was going for a Grand Slam HR. Discourse on four subjects in a row. Well, we all need dreams.
This is only typical of a Winston Smith media machine that resorts to creative (and blatantly dishonest) editing. Remember when FOX "News" edited that clip of Fahrenheit 9/11 when they reported on that soldier suing Michael Moore for "using" him as an anti-war voice?
Appropos of nothing.
Yes.

she figured she could get away with lying on the show, no one would remember enough details to call her on it, and later...the main thing is getting the propaganda out there, regardless of whether it gets refuted or not.
As we have all noted, countless times, these people lie like they breathe. Every. fucking. moment. if. every. fucking. day.
And..night. 24/7. Alla time.
What did you expect from Condi's-er-Friend?

Damn Steve, I was going for a Grand Slam HR. Discourse on four subjects in a row. Well, we all need dreams.
Had I but known...that would have been a great feat, maybe even a grate feet.
Isn't she a close personal friend of Condiliar? Aren't they tennis partners or something? Sort of the Britt Hume of the distaff side.
How, exactly, was she picked to moderate a debate?
Liar, liar pants on fire -
Not only are the righwing media liars, they are so fucking stupid about it.
They act like there's no such thing as a record anywhere of anything they've ever said. They're arguments and statements are so goddamned situation-based, they just totally forget them once the situation is over. I guess. Or, she's just a liar and doesn't give a shit, like her president, which is far more likely.
Okay, last try.
Notice me, you bastards!!!!

Yay! I was greenlit! (Wait this isn't FARK?)
Anyway, the link works better in IE.
Gwen may be a terrible reporter when it comes to reporting events she was at but Condiliar Rice likes her home cooking...
oops, forgot to close the italics tag, dang
Their arguments.
Forgive me for adding to your burdens, Molly and Thers.
I heard that while I was having my coffee at Starbucks. I almost fell out of my chair. I was sure she was wrong and I was going to check it out. Thanks, for the post Atrios.

WAs this the Eschaton equivalent of "stupid stories my producers make me cover"?

Don't any of you fuckers even think about patenting the design for the TV Cannon while I'm gone.

Just another example, of thousands, that PBS isn't any more informed or objective than CBS, NBC or, sometimes quite sadly, fox. PBS used to be different. Then the rethugs utterly ruined it. This might be the only cogent argument against government supported (at any level) media that I would care to make.
PBS=unlistenable (with some noteable exceptions)
Here's a place to contact Ms Ifill, if anyone's interested. I heard that today, too, and was hoping someone would check the transcript. You had to hear the tone in her voice as she brought up Edwards' "a propos of nothing" reference to Mary Cheney's sexuality. So full of dismissive contempt for that cheap political stunt.

They act like there's no such thing as a record anywhere of anything they've ever said.
In Wingnuttia there is no memory.

Pardon my acronym confusion, switch PBS with NPR
These people really hasven't figured out the whjole "public record" thing, have they?
Oh, and billy b from downstairs:
Good lord -that is the funniest thing I've read all day, true or not.
It is 100% true.

SCROLL TROLL COMMENT SCRUBBED
Ah, but the trannie just does not capture the inflection, the contempt, in her voice as she lays it all at the feet of John Edwards.

Or, she's just a liar and doesn't give a shit, like her president, which is far more likely.
Tena
Yeah. That and, like pretzelattack said, she knew nobody would remember enough to call her on it. So now she's got it "out there" that Edwards just pulled the comment out of his ass.
Which will be the soundbite if he runs again.
In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages, to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and in the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.
Plum...um...Canadian "beek"....?
steve,
I would love that. I'll be down in NYC in 2 weeks. And I'm kidnapping you and taking you out on July 14, so no big Bastille Day plans with Mother Simels, got me?
Hey, flory:
I posted the recipe yet again near
the top of the thread.
Don't forget that after Edwards made that statement about family love and Cheney's gay daughter, in the 2004 Vice Presidential debates, Cheney thanked him nicely.
Then, after one of the Kerry-Bush debates (I forget which one), Mrs. Cheney went faux-ballistic over Kerry mentioning the gay daughter.
Cheney: "In effect, what's happened is that in recent months, especially in Massachusetts, but also in California, but in Massachusetts we had the Massachusetts Supreme Court direct the state of -- the legislature of Massachusetts to modify their constitution to allow gay marriage."
Ugh. That is not it at all. Why can't they tell their view without lying? And why didn't some young, intrepid reporter catch this bullshit at the time?
Thanks steve!!

Kansas has a bigger need. As does Utah.
Later, peeps. Out to dinner with my sister and mother in law.
I'm starving.
And you used your family's experience as a context for your remarks. Can you describe then your administration's support for a constitutional ban on same-sex unions?
So, One of the reasons I hang around here?
Tonight big sister and wife wanted to go to a movie. I said I would like to go and see either Heart of Gold or The Notorious Bettie Page. (at the financially strapped indy theater here)
Reply: Notorious Bettie Page is pornography. Neil Young? Let's go and see Chevy Chase in RV.
And here I am - they are off to see a terrible movie.
Um, this is probably going to get me dogpiled, but when did Chardonnay become elitist? I mean, this is the wine used to introduce children to wine.. least potentially offensive to the non-wine drinker.
Lynne Cheney's "How dare you note that my daughter is an out lesbian" schitck was ridiculous, but the MSM took it up immediately.
Canada has survived another year, as apparently I have as well. But there's still booze in the fridge, and the night is young, so there's that.
Sorry - Robin Williams - got my bad comedians' movies mixed up.
And you used your family's experience as a context for your remarks. Can you describe then your administration's support for a constitutional ban on same-sex unions?
Now that isn't really a question that Sen. Edwards could respond to, now, is it? Apropos of nothing, my fucking eye. I have a baseball bat apropos of you being full of shit.
But there's still booze in the fridge,
I can help you with that...
dims puke lies from round gag holes
Chardonnay's conflation with quiche-eating liberal elitists has conferred the appelation. Think of it as Carneros.
Kansas has a bigger need. As does Utah.
If it were going to Louisiana, I could see it, you know? But they've completely destroyed our economy here (and no, Uncle Wingnut, it wasn't the taxes that did it), so I think it's gonna be pretty bad for a while.
And I keep telling myself this was mild, not even a named storm. *Shudder*
This worthless bitch is yet another media twit who will be fed to the Ducks when The Revoultion comes.
Somehow I missed Edwards saying this:
Yes. Let me say first, on an issue that the vice president said in his last answer before we got to this question, talking about tax policy, the country needs to know that under what they have put in place and want to put in place, a millionaire sitting by their swimming pool, collecting their statements to see how much money they're making, make their money from dividends, pays a lower tax rate than the men and women who are receiving paychecks for serving on the ground in Iraq.
That should have been a TV commercial, and the only one. Say it over and over and over again.
SUCCESS!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Gwen I-filledwith shit.
ah, dith; back speading cheer and positivity!
Canada has survived another year, as apparently I have as well. But there's still booze in the fridge, and the night is young, so there's that.
Happy Canada Day, Moe! Say hi to Carl Newman for me, if you see him!
Lynne Cheney's "How dare you note that my daughter is an out lesbian" schitck was ridiculous, but the MSM took it up immediately.
plantsman, lowercase
Oh, I think Lynne's unease with this subject is genuine. She freaked out on fellow Botoxee Cokie in '00 for bringing it up, at a time when Mary was, IIRC, Liaison to the Gay Community for Coors Brewing, which in itself is really weird. That a clan of Nazis would hire a fascist's daughter to sell piss-water beer to gays. But I never have understood marketing.
An ethical dilemma: Is it better for the government to promise aid they don't deliver, or to tell you up front you're not getting bupkis?
Ethically? I would say tell you up front. At least they would not be lying.
apropos of nothing, over at skippy:
seven of nine sings ben folds five
dims yer outrage aint nothin but a thin negligee of tattered pride
And for that matter, what's wrong with quiche?
SUCCESS!
You are a goddess. Here, have an Italian ice.
Moe, that was the Larry Kudlow moment of the debate, no question.
Um, this is probably going to get me dogpiled, but when did Chardonnay become elitist?
JR
Chardonnay sounds *sniff* French, doesn't it?
QED.
This is known as the Donimus Theory of Relativity: anyone of these big fat Gang of 500 "journalists" can go on any show they want and say any goddamned thing they want. No one will care. On their own shows, however, they have to pretend to have standards.
she figured she could get away with lying on the show, no one would remember enough details to call her on it, and later...the main thing is getting the propaganda out there, regardless of whether it gets refuted or not.
pretzelattack
exactly so. we need to ask WETA why she has a job.
Molly, I had a little godlike help at the last flight. My downstairs neighbor came home.
Oooh, yum! Italian ice! I think I shall run to the market and stock up.
Happy Canada Day to you fortunate souls north of the border.
Hee. The Stampeders are playing tonight at the outdoor stage just down the hill from my house. They're doing their sound check right now.
I thought those guys were dead or something.

Not a damn thing. Economical, tasty way to spread

Is steel-barrell Chardonnay more or less elitist than the oaky stuff?
I still think the window woulda been easier.

France Rules.
Hee. The Stampeders are playing tonight at the outdoor stage just down the hill from my house. They're doing their sound check right now.

I understand. I also hope that no serious calamity hits California in the next 18 months. We can expect even less assistance.
MNolly-- I don't ahve to go. I just sit on my front porch and can hear the whole thing, plain as when we actually shell out the bucks to go. Which we're doing, next week, to see Wilco.

Watertiger, I shall have a glass of red wine (peasant that I am) to celebrate your accomplishment.
We should talk about getting this picnic together for the folks on Liberal Mountain. They've had enought to contend with. I'll email you from work.
And now I'm off.
MNolly-- I don't ahve to go. I just sit on my front porch and can hear the whole thing, plain as when we actually shell out the bucks to go.

Yeah, that was pretty condemning, wasn't it.
I'll email you from work.
Not back in the office until Wednesday (huzzah!). We'll figger it out.
I shan't mention the 69% percent chance Max Mayfield gave for major hurricane landfall on the

Nim, ham hock of liberty

When I showed up here, the "elitist chardonnay" seemed to already be an old joke with Simels. The phrase does seem somewhat popular.
By the way, here's a reference, via NTodd (bless him for creating those pages).
The link in that last bit points to this photo.
*SIGH* Such a lovely tableau, devoutly to be wish'd.
One day, perhaps, I'll find my way to New York....
It was nice to see Jon Stewart pin down Bennett on this issue: getting him to admit that gay people didn't deserve families of their own was more honesty about what they believe than they usually show.
Well, that Stomping Tom concert on CTV starts in ten minutes, so I better get something going on the stove and break out another bottle of wine. Mrs. Moe is in a, er, great mood tonight, and the fireworks are scheduled for 10 o'clock, just over the harbour, no doubt as soon as the Stampeders concert is over. See ya'all later.
But those of us who are TRULY elite drink Sancerre.
Ha, I can go you one better.
Gamay Noir Droit. Only grown on the Bench.
Now that's fucking elitist.
The Cheney grandkids didn't get to the shuttle blast off, but I guess the NASCAR still happened.

I always wondered what God said on the seventh day.
I don't suppose anyone would like to come over and provide me a nice dinner?
Anybody? You can play in the pool, it's all clean now....
NTodd--no, misunderstood babysitting instructions.
I was under the impression we were to go to their house; they were under the impression they were bringing the baby here. Which generated yelling at us and then she and her husband arguing.
I apologized profusely and have offered to buy them dinner while we watch the baby, and a movie afterwards. I hope they take me up on it.
Auntie GWPDA--I have tri tip, chicken, deviled egg potato salad, pasta salad with veggies, barbecued baked beans, Thai cole slaw, brownies, cake, chocolate chip cookies, and homemade wheat bread.
Shall I have a takeaway package ready?
Oh, sallyh, I'm sorry. But you know, it's just a misunderstanding.

walking back from Crammer Court there were sad looking English fans spilling our of pubs.

Fair and balanced, Gwen?
Nah.
Typical scene:
"You're overeacting!"
"Don't tell me I'm overreacting!"

Don't mean to be rude, but what time warp am I caught in here? Daughter spent the night with a British family who had a soccer party this morning (another one, actually), and by 1:30 I knew about the game. She even gave me the play by play all the way home, cursing the refs and Portugal and everything.
It was cute.
It's my fault; I was working, I had an idea for one of my models, and I got caught up in it and wasn't paying sufficient attention.

Palestinian PM's HQ 'targeted'
Israeli aircraft have launched an attack on the office of the Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya, witnesses have said.
The attack comes during an Israeli incursion into Gaza after one of their soldiers was abducted last week.
Witnesses said two missiles hit the south side of the prime minister's building, starting a fire.
Three security guards were reportedly injured in the attack, which took place at 0145 local time (2245 GMT).
The BBC's Alan Johnston in Gaza says he heard the sound of helicopters, and that witnesses said one rocket struck Mr Haniya's second floor office, setting the building ablaze.
Another explosion was heard shortly after.

Oddly, that's how I motivate myself. To-morrow, I reckon if I mow the yard, move the dirt to cover the excavation of the portal posts, begin the primer'ing of the ramada and start the painting of the side wall and an assortment of ephemera, and then go ahead and finish off the interior activities then, the, I can eat something! It all works out pretty well. I get a new/old/resale wicker chair out of it and that's pretty kuhl.

olexicon,Sir Humpty
Nope. 85 and sunny. It's been like this, with brief periods of hail/thunderstorms/etc. on and off since Tuesday, which was when most of the rain fell.
CHENEY: Gwen, you're right, four years ago in this debate, the subject came up. And I said then and I believe today that freedom does mean freedom for everybody
To which Lieberman replied, "thanks, Dick. That would make me free to back you, all the way."
Atrios lacks both analytical power and rhetorical finesse.

Uncle S,
Would it make you feel better to know that Thers and I pretty much never have fights like that? Or would it make you feel better to know I have a brother?
Molly Ivors
I feel better that you think of my romantic welfare.
[I'm imagining, though, an argument where Thers gets all Joycean on you, making a dense statement, full of incomprehensible neologisms, that starts somewhere in the middle and goes on and on until you throw a crumbled copy of Ulysses at him--which is a dangerously thick book to be tossing at someone's skull! ]
When I made that statement about "connubial bliss," I was thinking of a couple I once knew that insisted on having their arguments in front of friends. At the slightest provocation, we'd be thrust into a co-dependant tit-for-tat reality soap opera.
Without telling them my motive, I had them over to watch Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf?
The guy in this spiteful couple seemed to get the message. When the film was over, he said, "That was good. Fuck you."
Auntie GWPDA--I'm glad he's bringing the Jeep; it might be a tight fit in the convertible.

I wonder what would have happened if the US and the rest of the world had just accepted the outcome of the last Palestinian election and cooperated with the new Hamas government.
I can't help but think that Hamas might have been too busy with the day to day business of governing to cause too many problems for Israel.

Yup. We've been all over the teebee this week.

Huzzah for Chavez!
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called on Africa on Saturday to forge closer ties with Latin America to combat what he called a threat of U.S. hegemony.
Chavez, whose repeated criticism of America has raised hackles in Washington, called on an African Union summit to cooperate with Latin America in everything from oil production to university education to counter "colonial" meddling in developing nations.
Citing the example of Venezuela and Bolivia, he urged Africa to seize greater control of its energy resources. He described the low royalty payments made by some foreign oil companies as "robbery".

Huzzah for Chavez!

rorschach
The whole Chavez thing underscores this administration's foreign policy incompetence.
For good or ill, our policy for a long, long time has been to crush independent nationalism in South America (and elsewhere, of course) for precisely this reason--the so-called "demonstration effect," a kind of Domino Theory that is actually true. Other nations under our sphere of influence see how well spending money on people and infrastructure and promoting genuine populist democracy works. They follow suit and start challenging our draining of their resources and capital.
Normally, we'd either attack such a "misbehaving" country ourselves, or fund and train a coup d'etat.
Indeed, Bush tried it and it failed. The point is, whatever your feelings about US foreign policy, the Bush administration not only sucks the "fundamentals," but endangers decades decades worth of a carefully crafted international framework on which this country stands.
The Progressive interviewed Chavez recently. Read it. This guy is good.
That he still lives amazes me, though, given the aforementioned penchant for destroying such people, and while Chavez lives, I have more hope for the world.
[Okay...now I've really got to split.]
maybe the Chavez example will allow an Obrador victory on Monday, despite the PAN demonization campaign against him.
there is always hope.
Nothing, is apropos of nothing.
mary can suck my dick, or as my daddy used to say "how 'bout them apples" or othertimes "put that in your pipe and smoke it" which on the second score i promptly did.
earlier rorschach asked what is your favorite novel, and why? 'course bein' around all you smarties i declined to provide, but Crime and Punishment is way the hell up there. i just like the way raskolnikov decided the sharp side of the ax was mercy, the blunt side was justice/punishment, and as dostoyevsky goes it was the easiest read.
actually 'tropic of cancer' is my favorite, but then i'd have to explain why, and i'd be out of my league. suffice it to say i like the guys/gals who dance on the edge, all the while wanting to jump, and laughing there ass off about it.
Also apropos of nothing, Clive Owen is smokin' hot.
Even though this Sin City movie kinda sucks.
I'll turn the sound off an listen to the Essential Mix.

Mexico will elect Obrador.
Bush will wait a year, and then cause him to be assassinated...
if that doesn't work, we'll install sanctions, the way the Israelis are working to bring down Hamas...
finally, we'll invade...
.
Uncle Smokes,
I think Bush is just so obsessed w the ME that he ignores what's going on under his nose. Chavez is building a power base, forcing the energy companies to share their wealth with the people, and demonstrating to one and all that you can, in fact, get away with poking the US in the eye. By the time Bush gets around to really noticing it will, hopefully, be too late.

when my g'dtr was a mere tadpole, her nursing mom and my son took off for a (really quick) dinner date when g'dtr was about 6 months. She howled and cried. I walked her, pated her, sang to her. Nothing helped.
Finally, Mr Deere said, give her to me and go away. I did (because he is a wonderfully gentle soul).
I c ame back about a half hour later, and they were both in bed, both asleep, her tiny head resting on his great arm.

Shit man, it made me weep, and not from pain.

look for me on the sundance channel next year, however. i hammed it up for them, as the cute little Boi filming had a great gay moment with me, and about the blogosphere. warner...not so much.

Munitions Found in Iraq Renew Debate
Panel Is Divided Over Whether Troops Uncovered Weapons of Mass Destruction
That question divided Republicans and Democrats again this week, this time at a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee on the estimated 500 rockets and artillery shells containing degraded mustard gas or sarin nerve agent.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...6063001528.html
pg 11 Nuke - Iraq Survey Group (ISG) discovered further evidence of the maturity and significance of the pre-1991 Iraqi Nuclear Program but found that Iraqs ability to reconstitute a nuclear weapons program progressively decayed after that date.
Saddam Husayn ended the nuclear program in 1991 following the Gulf war. ISG found no evidence to suggest concerted efforts to restart the program.
pg 13 Chemical - While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of chemical munitions thereafter, a policy ISG attributes to Baghdads desire to see sanctions lifted, or rendered ineffectual, or its fear of force against it should WMD be discovered.
pg 17 bio - In practical terms, with the destruction of the Al Hakam facility, Iraq abandoned its ambition to obtain advanced BW weapons quickly. ISG found no direct evidence that Iraq, after 1996, had plans for a new BW program or was conducting BW-specifi c work for military purposes. Indeed, from the mid-1990s, despite evidence of continuing interest in nuclear and chemical weapons, there appears to be a complete absence of discussion or even interest in BW at the Presidential level.

It's not only the White House that has a vested political interest in concocting a smoke screen by demonizing the fourth estate as a fifth column. The Democrats were holding their hearing because Pat Roberts, the chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, has for two years been stalling his panel's promised investigation into how the administration used intelligence before the war. Hoping that we'd forget about that continuing cover-up, Mr. Roberts last week made a big show of calling for an investigation into the Swift story's supposed damage to national security.
Representative King, so eager to label others treasonous, has humiliating headlines of his own to counteract: he's the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee who has so little clout and bureaucratic aptitude that he couldn't stop the government led by his own party from stripping New York City, in his home state, of 40 percent of its counterterrorism funding. If there's another terrorist attack, he may be the last person in New York who should accuse others, as he did The Times on the House floor on Thursday, of having blood "on their hands." ...
The assault on a free press during our own wartime should be recognized for what it is: another desperate ploy by officials trying to hide their own lethal mistakes in the shadows. It's the antithesis of everything we celebrate with the blazing lights of Independence Day.

U.S.: Bin Laden aims to bolster insurgency
By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 48 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The White House countered a threatening message from
Osama bin Laden on Saturday by accusing the al-Qaida leader of using the media to justify violence that is stalling the new Iraqi government's work to mend sectarian strife.
ADVERTISEMENT
In an Internet posting Saturday, bin Laden endorsed a new leader of al-Qaida in
Iraq and warned Shiites there against collaborating with the United States in battling Sunni insurgents.
"These terrorists offer nothing in their ideology and messages beyond future fighting, conflict and misery," the Bush administration said in a statement read by a White House official.

When I got Hank as a puppy I gave the dogs lots of chewies when they were in the same room, with the idea that Henrietta would associate Hank with good things. They both got rawhide bones and so on. Then an hour later everything I had given them was in Henrietta's bed and she was guarding the hoard. That's when I decided she's a Republican.
Things got better fairly soon. She even gave Hank a piece off one of her dog biscuits when Hank gobbled up her own share faster than a greased lightning and then begged for Henrietta's biscuits.

July 1, 2006 -- A former top Defense Department official has told WMR that he fears the Bush administration will pull off another "911" before the November election. The official stated that the next 911 will be used as a pretext for shipping U.S. citizens of Middle East descent to mass detention camps, establish martial law, impose strict censorship, and finally eliminate the power of the Congress and the Supreme Court over the president. "The next 911 will be much more like the Reichstag fire in terms of creating a dictatorship," said the official.

agave: our first daughter's nanny was a good sort, but a fundie. She'd read the Bible while the little one slept. Never discussed it with her; we got along; she stayed with us for eight years. When, after seeing 'The Lion King' with her for the umpteenth time at 2 years old or so, she told my daughter 'You sure do love your "Lion King"!' To which, without a moment's hesitation, my daughter replied, 'And you sure love your Jesus!' Boy, was I proud...

This incident in Iraq with the soldiers apparently planning a rape and murder is so disconcerting.
When they were just making their plans for this war I was deeply involved in writing the Holocaust book. The incidents of this nature are a part and parcel of war. To choose war is to choose chaos and set the stage for incidents of this kind.

Sorry folks, I was hoping doing nothing for the summer would help the neck. Just the opposite, it continues to deteriorate. Now I can crack my back until it sounds like popcorn and hurts like hell. Just so wonderful.
probably short for 'terminally depressed again', alas; I'd rather think of having an amiable tank in the kitchen.
You can't really be terminally depressed more than once, DWD: hang in there, my friend.
NYC must be a little extra peaceful:
Manhattan is dead quiet. I went out to Brighton Beach and sat on the boardwalk. Things were cooking out there, of course. But it's very, very quiet up here.

I dunno. I honestly think that if you are not depressed, you are probably not paying attention.
But I suppose I will be better some day.
