Hi.
Who did that song, 'radio killer,' or something like that. Too many confusing hits on google with that phrase. They were Japanase, weren't they? Part of chorus, approx.: 'he da man, he da man, he da man, whooooo!'
Thanks in advance.

Last night on CSPAN, some pro-Bush caller who may well have been a parody cracker argued that since the London 7/7 bombers trained in Pakistan, the subjects of the Gitmo movie--whom he described as "innocent"--deserved to be in Gitmo because they were British citizens who travelled to Pakistan and Afghanistan. Neither Scheuer nor Brian Lamb saw fit to critique this view.
You have to admit that this blog war is a bit more civilized (if still uncultured) than the ones we've been witnessing of late.
Perhaps we should teach this technique to Mssrs Bush, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il.

From Wiki:
"Bea Arthur, who plays a bartender in the Mos Eisley cantina, sings "Good Night, But Not Goodbye" to the same set of aliens that were seen in the Cantina in A New Hope, including, as the back-up musicians, the Cantina's resident group, Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. Finally, at the end of the special Carrie Fisher sings (somewhat off key) a song in celebration of Life Day to the tune of the Star Wars main title."
Atrios has clearly gone insane. I am going to return my decoder ring and Certificate of Allegiance.

OT: I came home on Wednesday night and discovered that I couldn't access Internet. I picked up the phone to call my ISP's help desk, and discovered no dial tone.
I'll spare you the usual nonsense involved in communicating with Verizon's customer cyberservice, with its combination of robot and humanoid interlocutors. I admit that I have enough abiding geek sensibility to actually appreciate the ability of a machine to engage in "conversation". On the other hand, there's still way too much needless repetition-- e.g., starting from scratch each time you make a follow-up call. And there are always questions or options that should be offered, but aren't.
I'd scheduled Friday off, which turned out to be "lucky", because that was when they scheduled the service call "between 8AM and 7PM". On Friday morning, I panicked after I forgot to take my seldom-used cell phone off "silent", and found out that I'd missed a robot voice-mail asking me to confirm that I was home.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't really settle down and relax when I'm expecting a tradesperson-- especially without an Internet connection. Finally I called at 7:02PM to report that I had neither seen a technician or heard anything about the status of my service call. A very sweet flak-catcher put me on hold, and came back to say with genuine-sounding regret that "because of the workload imposed by recent storm damage", that they wouldn't be able to come today after all. Man, talk about a wasted day!
The technician did come this morning, and ran a new cable between my house and a telephone pole in the yard catty-corner to my house. Funny, I'd never noticed it before. The old cable had been chewed up once too often by squirrels.
Since I can't log on to Eschaton (and most other blogs) or even my ISP's web-based e-mail at work any more, I truly felt as if I'd been cut off from the world for weeks. If I owned a soccer ball, I would've started a conversation with it. As soon as the line was fixed, I checked my e-mail. I found three days worth of SPAM (100+ messages) and a handful of reports and/or begging from political and progressive sites. Not even one personal e-mail!
I thought I'd stumble back into the land of the living-- if you call this living-- and be greeted by shocked survivors, like Rip van Winkle. Nobody even noticed I was gone. Oh well, such are the rewards of an insular life...
PS: The first YouTube hung up for me-- and having read the reviews, I feel gratified that I gave up trying. Maybe my luck is changing.
Oh, and before I forget, let me remind Toby the pathetic virgin that I, a 55 year old man, will be spending much of the weekend with a stunning 30 something Japanese American woman. She pretty much jumped me after a local liberal get-together. A brilliant, gorgeous babe is Kimiko-san. Doing her post-doc research here in Boston.
Toby, you will NEVER EVER get anywhere NEAR such an amazing woman As Kimiko-san. You can't begin to imagine what it's like.
And its all because I'm a liberal. Toby. 55, potbelly, arthritic, diabetic and high blood pressure. And unlike Rush, I'm not the least bit ashamed of the fact that I've got prescription for Cialis. Diabetes and hypertension will do that to a man. Of course, you wouldn't know a thing about being a "man", would you, Toby.
And yet, Kimiko-san doesn't care a bit about any of that. She likes me for who and what I am.
Unlike you, Toby. Women FLEE from your presence, because of what and who you are. Yep, Toby, you will never get laid in your life. Oh, you'll likely have sex, but only the kind you pay for.
There IS a difference, you know. Oh, wait. That's right, you wouldn't know the difference. No woman would willingly touch you for free or of her own free will.
What is that pick up line you use that works all the time? Oh, right, I remember: "Does this rag smell like Chloroform to you?"
Poor Toby, how sad you are. To go through life knowing that liberals like me are having the most incredable sex lives. And you aren't.

Jesuits strived to gain control over education. They achieved it by the end of the reign of King Zygmunt August III (1587-1632). They used schools as a training ground for their puppets who were then promoted to political and civil offices, to the Sejm and to the courts. By control of education Jesuits were able to indoctrinate youth with hatred towards Protestants. The students who organized the pogroms defended themselves on the ground that it was their duty to destroy the Protestants just as the clergy had taught them.
That was way way back then.
Today...,
Judeo Christian Evangelicals strived to gain control over education. They achieved it by the end of the reign of King George IV [bushco 2008] They used schools [Freedom University, Republican Colllege, Skull n Bones types] as a training ground for their puppets [Bush Cheney Rice Wolfowitz addington, K street etc..] who were then promoted to political and civil offices[Pick almost any Bush Crony], to the Sejm and to the courts [Hello Alito, Roberts, Scalia [yeh feck yew too scaliawag]. By control of education Judeo Christian evangelicals were able to indoctrinate youth [Armageddon, end of times, Fear] with hatred towards liberal America. The Goopers who organized the pogroms defended themselves on the ground that it was their duty [might is right] to destroy the constitution of secular America just as the clergy, law schools and lobbyists had paid them too.
The pro-bush christians, in order to save the world from America itself, must destroy America itself and reconstruct it into a monarchy..

Ally Told Bush Spying Projects Might Be Illegal
By ERIC LICHTBLAU and SCOTT SHANE
WASHINGTON, July 8 — In a sharply worded letter to President Bush in May, an important Congressional ally charged that the administration might have violated the law by failing to inform Congress of some secret intelligence programs and risked losing Republican support on national security matters.
The letter from Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, did not specify the intelligence activities that he believed had been hidden from Congress.
But Mr. Hoekstra, who was briefed on and supported the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program and the Treasury Department's tracking of international banking transactions, clearly was referring to programs that have not been publicly revealed.
Recently, after the harsh criticism from Mr. Hoekstra, intelligence officials have appeared at two closed committee briefings to answer questions from the chairman and other members. The briefings appear to have eased but not erased the concerns of Mr. Hoekstra and other lawmakers about whether the administration is sharing information on all of its intelligence operations.
A copy of the four-page letter dated May 18, which has not been previously disclosed, was obtained by The New York Times.
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/
0...agewanted=print
Just one day after President Bush forcefully defended his insistence on multilateral negotiations with North Korea, the White House has apparently okayed direct talks with envoys from Pyongyang.
Speaking in Seoul on Saturday, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, Bush's point man on discussions with the North Koreans, signaled his willingness to meet directly with Kim Jong Il's emissaries once the stalled six-party talks resume.
For the story, see:
"Bush's 180 on North Korean Talks."
Xanadu was better than the last three Star Wars movies.
man, olivia newton john was hot!
Me and my buddies rode our stingray bikes fifteen miles to see Olivia Newton John appear at a shopping mall.
This might have been a long time ago.
Now I truly understand why I never saw "Xanadu".
BTW, The General won.
Atrios, a number of years back my boyfriend Bill had a meeting with Robert Greenwald about some project or other. When he got there he told Greenwald's people (when you've made it to any level in Hollywood you get people ) how excited he was to meet him because he loved Xandadu (as do I, if you can score a copy of our book "Rock On Film" you'll find out why) Greenwald's people told Bill "Oh no, no, no! You must never mention that film ! It makes Mr. Greenwald very mad."

Late 70's LA , I gassed up with Olivia Neutron-Bomb. I was filling up the truck and glanced over to the prettiest girl I'd ever seen. She smiled. Still driving herself around in those days..
Wistfull, happy...
Okay, it's cheesy schmaltz, but damn...I loves me some Olivia Newton-John. And she's STILL lovely.

People were happy back in the 80's. And Olivia was one of my top three crushes, along with Terri Garr and Chris Everett.
Oh. My. God.
Okay, when I was in 8th Grade and living in Southern California in 1980, my Dad opened up a side business:
A ROLLER RINK.
I was reeeeeeeeaaalllly trying to erase that from my memory. Even funnier, the 2 co-owners of the Rink were two of the main dancers/skaters in Xanadu.
Thanks for traumatizing me!
Oh...the memories...I used to wear ribbons in my hair like Olivia did in the movie. Good god. You know, the ELO music from the soundtrack was really quite good!

And if i dont finish IRAQ FOR SALE; THE WAR PROFITEERS, because of xanadu, we know who to blame! i have locked the doors, barred the kids, and am diving into the land of the far far past... oy vey... robert
Atrios, be my boyfriend (my girlfriend wont mind!)
Xanadu is awesome! One of my favorite movies when I was a kid and Olivia is gorgeous.
I must admit, I too was a Xanadu fan. Particularly the ELO soundtrack offerings.
What!? You have something against Gene Kelly? !?
I sure you were in the first grade before, but that still doesn't make you a child. Or does it? Save your boo hoos cry baby.
