GravatarMary Cheney dislikes the "L" Word:

Late in the book, [Cheney] describes hissing a furious expletive at the TV when Senator John Kerry referred to her as a "lesbian" in the third 2004 presidential debate (she prefers referring at arm's length to "my sexual orientation," as if it were an intransigent military position, perhaps, or a pesky shadow she just can't shake). She was angry, among other reasons, she writes, because "he had used the word 'lesbian,' instead of the more common and politically neutral term 'gay.' "

GravatarI was at a Rochester Red Wings baseball game last week and some pitcher (Jason Davis???) for the Buffalo Bisons was throwing 100 mile per hour fastballs.
Even if the public 'Jugs' gun wasn't calibrated he was throwing 6 or 7 mph faster than any other pitcher all night.

GravatarA hissy fit over the word lesbian? Gay is a neutral term? WTF?


GravatarShe was angry, among other reasons, she writes, because "he had used the word 'lesbian,' instead of the more common and politically neutral term 'gay.'"

"Lesbians" are always angry, form womyn's studies groups, buzzcut their hair, and french kiss their girlfriends in public.

"Gay women" become Secretary of State.

GravatarWhat happened to threadbot, anyway?


GravatarMy admittedly straight perspective is "gay" means male homosexuals, "lesbian" means female homosexuals. I think the acronym GLBT is a good clue that Cheney is as fucked as her father.

I remember when they used to talk about legalizing "lesbian marriage," which everyone was against. But when they changed it to "gay marriage," everyone was cool with it.

States Ban Hunting of Live Animals over the Internet
http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/ 20...overtheinternet
Louisiana has joined 21 other states in banning Internet hunting, the practice of using a mouse click to kill animals on a distant game farm.

The cyber-shooting idea was the brainchild of Texan John Lockwood, who started the web site Live-Shot.com.

The idea was this: Hunters sign up on the web site and pay some $1,500 or more. They schedule a session, then log on at their appointed time to watch a feeding station on the computer screen. The animal that was ordered—from wild hogs to antelope—is in the area, and when it approaches the food, the hunter moves on-screen crosshairs into place. A click of the mouse fires a rifle to kill the animal.

The armchair hunter's trophy animal would then be mounted and shipped for display.

Texas outlawed the practice last year.

Humane Society executive vice president Michael Markarian was pleased with the decision in Louisiana.


GravatarMy admittedly straight perspective is "gay" means male homosexuals, "lesbian" means female homosexuals. I think the acronym GLBT is a good clue that Cheney is as fucked as her father.

GLBTQ. I was kicked around the block once for forgetting Queer. I don't know what the distinction is because I'm a rank amateur when it comes to GLBTQ issues.

I guess I'm old fashioned: back in my day it was GLBT, and that's what our Bridge organization always talked about in its literature. And yes, as a matter of fact, I hung out with all the out queers, which is why future girlfriends thought I was queer. And vegetarian, for some reason.

Gravatarwingnut or parody update--

Yeaterday I asked if anyone knew if shelleytheconservative.cam was real or parody - nobody was sure. I read the Inconvenient Truth post again and decided it was parody- after several pages of freeper fuckwad rant the following paragraph appears near the end:

"What’s more, the details of Gore’s wacky theories aren’t as important as the motive behind them. Just think about it. How convenient would it be to have an invisible enemy, that no one can see and that can never be stopped in our lifetime? If that were the case, the liberals would be able to ensure that the country would permanently be afraid and on a war-footing. They’d be able to pass all kinds of crazy legislation because of the ‘emergency’ and anyone that criticized them would be labelled as “unpatriotic”? and a “traitor”?."

Very droll, not drool as I thought at first.

GravatarAs reported here on the news in Chicago, Bush comes to town on Thursday to get away from Washington. Mayor Daley, fine Democrat that he is, arranges a birthday dinner for Bush on Thursday. Much kissy-face talk between Bush and Daley. (Dis Patrick Fitzgerald guy is closin' in on da boat of 'em!) Bush gets a bunch of local CEOs to join him for breakfast on Friday, but they all scratch their heads and wonder out loud why they were invited in the first place. Bush has a painful-to-watch 1 hour press conference. Bush does fund-raiser at lunch time for Republican governor candidate, but is told it would be better if he just dropped off a bag of cash for the campaign and showed up late at night when no one would see him. Bush White House tell local Republicans to set up a downtown photo-op for Bush at a Loop manufacturing site on Friday afternoon. Locals inform White House the last manufacturer left the Loop at least a century ago. Thanks for the visit, Mr. President!

My sense is that people are complaining a lot less about the current higher gasoline prices than they did in the 1970s. I think the reason is back then fewer people were able or willing to buy gasoline with a credit card. No cash in your pocket = no gas in the tank.
Today the thinking might be 'I already carry $10,000 in credit card debt, what's another G! Filler up regular on credit'
The oil companies know with Bush and the Republicans in control they're immune to any congressional or government oversite and together with the creidt card companies continue redistributing the nation's wealth out of the pockets of the working/middle class.

It was a good time. Hubert is even better than he was 15 years ago-maybe he liked the venue better. Nice mellow crowd, outside by the beach. The local musicians who got to be his sidemen seemed to be thrilled to find themselves on stage with him.

GravatarThe Ascherson article is from the April 11, 2002 NYRB:

http://www.nybooks.com/articles/ ...rticle_id=15255

When Theodor Adorno said that it was barbaric to write poetry after Auschwitz, he unwittingly launched ten thousand essay questions. The remark still resounds, not only in Germany and not always in ways that Adorno would have wished it to be understood. But one of its legitimate implications, it seems to me, is that the expression 'European Civilization' should have become unusable after 1945.

GravatarIs there really a difference between the terms lesbian and gay? I've always thought they were interchangeable when speaking about gay women.

That's pretty much my trajectory, except I keep an open mind now, as opposed to being a True Believer. I think it was Betty and Barney Hill that started me wondering. Yeah, I read Keyhoe, Ruppelt, Adamski, Billy Meier, all that shit. In the late '80s, long into my skeptical phase, I went to a MUFON seminar in Houston, with John Lear, son of the inventor of the 8 track. Fascinating, but nothing to stir the old belief circuits. And you should see some of the books for sale in the lobby at one of those things. Capricorn One was a documentary? I swear, some people believe that stuff just to have something to believe in, and one crackpot idea aint enough, they gotta believe in all of it. Sheesh...

I agree, and I think it's related to the troll phenom. Some people earlier today were analyzing the trolls and concluding that they were disruptive because they resent our conversations. I think it's a little deeper than that - I think they wish they could be included in a group of like-minded people, but know they lack the skills, whether those are of the thinking or social, or both, kinds. So by disrupting the conversations of people like we here, they get some sort of validation of their personal power, and an illustration of our vulnerability to them. Pretty reinforcing for them, I guess.

A friend of mine has tried everything to get his neighbor to shut up his dogs including recording the barking and blasting it from huge speakers back at the guy's house.

i guess so, damn webmaster is on vacation. And i dedicated a whole bunch of songs for my Eschaton friends:

MOCO- military mile
(from Wigan near Manchester,their 2nd lp "twice bitten once shy". Sounds like Nick Cave mixed with the Whites Stripes)
PRIMAL SCREAM- when the bombs drop
(from new cd "riot city blues", more classic R&R à la "give up but don't give out")
HOPES OF THE STATES- bonfires
(from second lp "left". A very political album from these english men. Think heavier Elbow or Doves)
MASSIVE ATTACK - false flag
(another political b-side from M.A.)

My theme was "war and the 4th of July".


Gravataryeah, i was just amused by Clines Corners or Corner because you see signs for like 200 miles on the roads advertising it, and then when you get there there is a gas station and a gift shop selling all the typical new mexico tourist stuff, and i think a trailer--or at least thats the way it was.

A nicer way, is to throw them something to chew that will take awhile. They are chained, up and bored, and so they bark.

GravatarI saw Jarecki's "Why We Fight" on DVD this week, and I give it five out of five stars, for two reasons: 1) It's based almost entirely on fascinating archival film, and 2) Neocons Kristol, Adelman, Perle get their say too. I can disagree with the political/policy implications of a doc, yet still praise it. And I hope viewers will apply their own knowledge of history and reason while evaluating it.
[I've got DVD vols 1 and 4 of Capra's "Why We Fight" on the way from Netflix, for comparison.]
Here's one criticism: A central focus of this doc is Ike's farewell speech about the military-industrial-complex [MIC,] and a major implication of the doc is that the USA would fight fewer wars, but for the economic pressure of the MIC. There's too much of a tendency to paint Ike as some kind of pacifist or disarmer, without much reflection upon the facts that, under Ike's administration:
1) The hydrogen bomb was perfected.
2) Strategic Air Command was born.
3) Nuclear naval propulsion was perfected.
4) The SLBM (Polaris) was born.
5) Several ABM systems were developed, including Honest John, Nike, and Nike-X.
6) Soviet atomic spies were found, and some executed.
7) Other nuclear modalities (such as nuke artillery and nuke-rocket-propulsion,) were explored.
Eight) Many dozens of nuke fission-weapon tests were conducted: above-ground, below-ground, submarine, exo-atmospheric, etc.
Despite Ike's faux-pacifist farewell warning, the record of the 1950's shows that Ike's America [prudently!] aggressively pursued superior armaments at every scale, and at substantial cost.
Here's another criticism: Jarecki's chosen CIA-turncoat talks about "blowback," and a 1954-era document is produced which includes the term "blowback" with respect to the CIA's toppling of Iran's Mossadegh. The viewer is left with the implication that 9-11 was "blowback" from America's meddling. We're expected to believe that all attacks against America [Iranian hostage-taking, Beirut Marine-barracks bombing, Khobar Towers bombing, USS Cole attack, 9-11 attack, etc.] were generated by America's interference.
But we know, from overwhelming evidence, that the enemies of the USA hate freedom, licentiousness, and the export of "perverse" culture. How else to explain the motives of the recently-busted jihadis in Toronto? I've visited Toronto twice, and it's my favorite big city precisely because of its multicultural, supremely-open, anything-goes ethic. What we love, the jihadis hate!
So, please, when you watch the excellent "Why We Fight," do not leave behind your knowledge of history, and do not discount your common sense.

NYT: David Brooks on 'liberal inquisition' of Lieberman; Many Dems fear, 'despise' netroots

Two Sundays after taking on the founder of Daily Kos, David Brooks, a conservative columnist for The New York Times, lashes out at the netroots and many on the left for participating in a "liberal inquisition" of Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman, RAW STORY has found.

Brooks' latest column set for Sunday's Times also suggests that many Democrats silenty fear and "despise" the netroots movement.

To Brooks, Lieberman represents one of a few "heterodox politicians who distrust ideological purity, who rebel against movement groupthink, who believe in bipartisanship both as a matter of principle and as a practical necessity," offering former Mayor Giuliani and Senators McCain and Clinton as examples.

GravatarSo after travelling 10s or 100s of light-years across interstellar space 'ancient astronauts' need landing strips to reach the ground and come to a stop.

Let's say I'm skeptical. The Marines can do it with a V-22 Osprey.

GravatarWe want a Lab puppy.

Great, but energetic dogs, especially when puppies. Are you willing to play with it for a couple of years? This is about how long it takes labs to grow up.
Doug,


this is true. Ours was quite puppyish for several years. She even flunked puppy kindergarden.


GravatarI never took Eisenhower's Farewell Address as a statement of pacifism. I took it as a warning from a man who knew how out of control the military can get. As he said in a 1956 letter to Everett E. Hazlett:

"Some day there is going to be a man sitting in my present chair who has not been raised in the military services and who will have little understanding of where slashes in their estimates can be made with little or no damage. If that should happen while we still have the state of tension that now exists in the world, I shudder to think of what could happen in this country."

Then, there's the quotation from Newsweek, Nov. 11, 1963, about the atomic bombing of Japan:

"I was against it on two counts. First, the Japanese were ready to surrender, and it wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing. Second, I hated to see our country be the first to use such a weapon."

Not pacifism, but pragmatism and a deep sense of honor quite rare in our present public officials...

""In the 1930s, the Spanish Civil War served as a precursor to the global conflict that was World War II," Brooks writes. "And in a smaller fashion, the primary battle playing out on the smiling lawns of upscale Connecticut serves as a preview for the national conflict that will dominate American politics for the next two years."

"What's happening to Lieberman can only be described as a liberal inquisition," writes Brooks. "Whether you agree with him or not, he is transparently the most kind-hearted and well-intentioned of men. But over the past few years he has been subjected to a vituperation campaign that only experts in moral manias and mob psychology are really fit to explain."

Ya lost me with the sacrifice thing...


Gravatar"the entire economy of new mexico was based on getting people who were driving to california to stop and buy something.

Truckstop. It was."

That's an insulting and insenstive comment to make from a Native American's perspective.

It's all very silly.

you shoulda seen 'em before they invented landing strips! they'd just come in and keep bumping along the ground till they ran into a tree or a mountain or something.

Gravatar"Kufr" is clearly the worst kind of lgffer; the guy's very name is an example of their darling custom of proudly adopting suposedly persecuted status they hope will piss off Moosalums. He expects some kind of credit for, as he keeps reminding, his praising of the film. What is perhaps saddest and most salient is that in his comment we get to see into the real mind of a troll, not just the hysterical dalek shrieking intended to get a rise out of decent people. Here we have a film that presents a good case for several ideas, an object lesson in leftist commitment to the significance of truth and rational persuasion, and like the neoke dreckgolem quoted in the film our boy poor persecuted white man here hurls against it various unconnected facts. A perfect contrast to any sort of commitment to truth and persuasion. Did you know that people recall the 50s as sexually repressive, and yet during the fifties people actually had sex? There are lots of movies of people walking during that period -- and yet, many owned cars!

He tried to warn us... why didn'twe listen!
