I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
w - Worst Ever
go ned.
really.
(btw, is this poll being sourced to anywhere other than some kos diarist I've never of)
I assume that someone else in left blogdom has a premium rasmussed account.
Email someone at MyDD -- they can confirm the diary, I'm sure.
Newly planted in the state of CT, he's got my vote, and of course a sticker on my car!!!!!!
i had a feelin
a feelin deep inside
oh yeah
Atrios doesn't believe it because Lieberman or Lamont should be further ahead?
MyDD has it too.
Doing a phone bank for TX's 4th District dream candidate today, lots of talk about Lieberman being past history, and so undignified about it. Also lots of called people so glad at having a chance to have real representation in Congress. Oh, it's nice out here, time's are a'changing.
Taegan Goddard is also being reference around regarding the poll.

Yours days are numbered, Patches- it's my district, son!

D'oh, missed that, as it was down the page.
I assume then the kos diary is correct. After all the public release date is tomorrow, IIRC.
Atrios doesn't believe it because Lieberman or Lamont should be further ahead?
ShortRide. Mentum. should be further ahead.
And my people in CT tell me that Lieberman is in full flop-sweat campaign mode...
i think if Lamont wins the primary I expect joe's numbers to head south pretty quickly, but I'd be surprised if they already head south.
Republicans like joe, and they only currently have a joke candidate themselves, so..
Jay C, I am ONE of your people in CT and telling you the same thing!
Huzzah missy's brother!
Does that mean I have minions?
SHAZBOT!
I hate it when I mess up a tag. (Flogs self brutally in manner of albino in the Da Vinci Code, only in a more manly fashion & in a better prose style.)
Wheeeeeeeee!
Schlessinger is such damaged goods, that the good GOPukes of Connecticut will have no trouble voting for Joe, and compelling him to Caucus with should they be able to steal the election for him Pukes...
heartbreaking, really: Lede graf, Page 1 Election analysis, Nov *, 2006, Hartfor Courant: Lamont actually defeated Lieberman in the primary, only to lose by a razor-thin 4% margin in the general election when late votes from certain western CT districts provided JoMentum with the margin he needed...
it is really funny that JOMOs reality today is BOY I MIGHT HAVE TO FIGHT for my entitlement...whats the male equivalent for cunt?shmuck? or putitz
There is a continuum of Joementum.
The new Rasmussen poll is out today, showing Lamont ahead of Lieberman 51-41 in the primary and tied 40-40 in a three way.
I don't know about you guys, but the last person I want in a three way is Lieberman.
Oh, that was via Jane.
I don't know about you guys, but the last person I want in a three way is Lieberman.

No.

Sorry, but those are the rules.
(Looks smugly at Jay C through monocle)
Does that mean I have minions?
Jay C.
aren't we companions in our hatred of UNC?
Atrios, I dunno. Joe's cravenness genie won't go back in the bottle, and I suspect some CT Demos were shocked at his my way or the highway attitude -- but then, respondents could be fibbing, too.

Heh-indeedy.
Although sports rivalry is one situation that lends itself to a "continuum" quite nicely. I suggest Dershowitz begin work immediately, with Duke at one end of the spectrum.
I like that the human body has sweat glands, but not that they work when i'm sitting still.
On that Dershowitz thing, this is what I posted over at Drum's place:
I've heard this sort of "reasoning" before. Anyone else recall the excuses for the disaster that was the Gulf Coast after Katrina?
Remember all the really bright commentators telling us that those who didn't leave in advance of the storm got pretty much what they deserved?
I also heard that the problem wasn't the Feds shitty response, but "black culture." I'm sure I'll soon hear Dershowitz proclaiming the problem is not Israel's bombing the shit out of a neighboring country without even the slightest shred of international support (except from the Neo-Cons, of course). No, the problem will be Lebanon's culture of violence, or something similar.
I despise Republicans.
Republicans like joe, and they only currently have a joke candidate themselves, so..

And Schlesinger will be well rewarded by the White House for 'taking the dive'.

I am telling you that a lot of middle road Democrats who would have voted for Leaverman, are now shocked by his thinking that its his throne no matter what. I think the real turning point was his attitude during the debate even if he did win.
...ah, Glenn Greenwald writes in to say Political Wire has it.
Are you sure it wasn't his Brazilian housemate who can't possibly write grammatical English beause he's a furriner who only blogs about soccer?
Atrios doesn't read nearly enough Ace of Spades or he'd understand these complex things more fully.
At the end, it wasn't even close: NV's the Caucus state and SC's the primary state. Here's the vote breakdown: it's worth noting that Harold Ickes and Donna Brazile both were pro-AL and AL still lost. Whodathunkthat...

Was reading the Alan Dershowitz thread over at Washington Monthly and came across this comment, which bears repeating:
"Despite the fact that the Fundies believe this will bring on the Rapture, I think it is more logical that God will decide we are a failed experiment and bring on the asteroid."
I'm stealing it.
God, I'm useless.

missy's brother:
that was certainly the feeling I got watching the debate, chuztpah curdled over into hubris, and Joe only won on neocon style, really. I'm still loving hearing Ned say "universal health care" out loud and without shame.
my own two cents:
I think this november there's going to be a large "throw the bums out" vote & it will be dangerous to a lot of incumbents. For example - I think Maria Cantwell could be in trouble, too.
Anyways, I think Lieberman could have a hard time in November, because of the anti-incumbent sentiment.
I think the real turning point was his attitude during the debate even if he did win.
Sometimes it takes a few days to realize just how arrogant HoJo acted. Especially after you kick it around with friends and coworkers.
It's somewhat what happened in TX when Chimp debated Ann Richards, the sitting governor running for reelection. She was sitting on a twenty point lead (IIRC) less than a couple months out from the election.
She came across much like HoJo did in his debate with Lamont. And the rest is history.
Sorry, but I still hold a major grudge against Ann Richards for that. If not for her arrogance in the debate, Chimp would be sitting on a bar stool in Midland right now.
Lieberman should promise to go to Iraq if he wins the primary.
"Despite the fact that the Fundies believe this will bring on the Rapture, I think it is more logical that God will decide we are a failed experiment and bring on the asteroid."

Not on behalf of the electorate. Just requires a steady source of $$$$ and leverage within state politics to ensure the power of incumbency.
Joe will hand that seat to the Republicans if he runs as an independant. He will split the democrat vote. If the Democrat leadership doesn't come out hard for Lamont after he wins the nomination then they deserve to serve two more years in the minority!

Philadelphia may evict Boy Scouts council
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/
20060...scouts_eviction
PHILADELPHIA - The city said it will evict a Boy Scout council from its publicly owned headquarters or make the group pay a fair rent price unless it changes its policy on gays.
The Boy Scouts' Cradle of Liberty Council, the country's third-largest, has been battling with the city for more than three years over the policy, which like the national Scouts organization forbids gays from being leaders.
City Solicitor Romulo L. Diaz Jr. wrote a letter to William T. Dwyer III, president of the Cradle of Liberty Council, stating that the council's "discriminatory policies" violate city policy and law, and that city officials have not been assured the group will not discriminate.
Unless the city gets a "fair-market rent agreement," the council will be evicted, the letter says.
The group has made its headquarters on a half-acre owned by the city in the upscale Philadelphia Art Museum area since 1928, when the city council voted to allow the Scouts to use the property rent-free "in perpetuity." The Scouts pay for building upkeep.
Council spokesman Jeff Jubelirer questioned the timing of the city's move.
"With an epidemic of gun violence taking the lives of Philadelphia's children every day, it is ironic the administration chose this time to destroy programming that services 40,000 children in the city," Jubelirer said.
Stacey Sobel, executive director of Philadelphia's Center for Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights, said she's pleased the city is taking action.
"If they are going to discriminate, the taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing it," Sobel said.

ShortRide. Mentum. *is* trying to hold his senate seat hostage, but that might not work if the electorate is motivated enough to tell leadership such as the Clenis to fuck off.
BTW, there's infighting dem gossip aplenty at hotline blog, which is second only to the note, maybe, in it's love of a democratic ratfight.
Joe will hand that seat to the Republicans if he runs as an independant.
You did read the poll didn't you? The republican is running at 13%. I think whoever wins the primary wins the senate.

What a strange, strange "controversy" for these people.
"Ekkk! We're upset your significant other was defending you with a pseudonym! And we're going to obsess about it for days!"
Joe will hand that seat to the Republicans if he runs as an independant.
I'm not entirely convinced of that.
H. W. was 'born with a silver FOOT in his mouth,' she said, at the '88 convention. Might've done wonders if we'd had a decent candidate.
Joe will hand that seat to the Republicans if he runs as an independant.
No he won't.

While the current polls show that Lieberman may win if he ran as an independent, I suspect that once he reached the point where he actually committed himself to such a run, his support would evaporate. It would then become absolutely clear that his only loyalty is to himself and George Bush.

Richard Llewellyn surely enjoyed a good dick joke.
IMHO, the primary is game, set, match. If Lieberman loses, a lot of his support will dry up, and the establishment Democrats like Schumer are going to have to re-think whether they want to piss off the activist base of the party by sticking with Lieberman in a 3-way.
I'm holding to my original prediction; Lieberman bails out after the primary and takes a very lucrative position as a lobbyist for Connecticut's defense industry.

It is never too late to say this.
If you are a dark-haired Greek short of stature with a last name that suggests "shit" and a wife in the tank, then you have an insurmountable handicap.
The duck said it better than me.
That wasn't arrogance, it was Gingrich propaganda that was distributed with images of rats.
If Gingrich was involved, arrogance cannot be far behind. That fool actually came up with reading lists for republican members when he was Speaker. What an egomaniac.
Am I too late to say Alan Dershowitz is a complete idiot?
Certainly not. I'll say it with you: Dershowitz is a complete idiot.
establishment Democrats like Schumer are going to have to re-think whether they want to piss off the activist base of the party by sticking with Lieberman in a 3-way.

I'm looking forward to seeing the establishment Democrats get confused and dismayed after the august primary.
My prediction: Joe runs as an independent because of his hubris & he believes he owns that seat.
The duck said it better than me.
She ain't a duck. She's a mollusk.
The Lieberman mafia will assure a 3-way race to guarantee a slim margin of victory, which they will manipulate to give Joe the edge.
She ain't a duck. She's a mollusk.
I'll take your word for it.
Am I too late to say Alan Dershowitz is a complete idiot?

Sadly, no. But you are a bit behind if you wish to label him as a fascist.
I'm holding to my original prediction; Lieberman bails out after the primary and takes a very lucrative position as a lobbyist for Connecticut's defense industry.
islander
You are not far off buddy! There are quite a few Democrat Town Committees right now calling for him to bail out after the primary. It seems they are all beginning to jump on that wagon. Also BIG rumors here regarding some prominent Democrats talking to Joe about the same thing as they are worried about him influencing the Houses races.

Exactly! It's as if no one with bombs and jet fighters has to have any shred of maturity (or morality for that matter), but you poor bastards who actually LIVE in the area, YOU have to be smart and understand in advance who and what they will bomb (like the convent) so you can escape unscathed. Otherwise, you basically got what you deserved.
This is such an incredibly inhumane point of view.

Klaus von Dershowitz?
I just looked up the definition of terrorism according to the US Defense Department. "Terrorism is
defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of -- or threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives."
Isn't this precisely what the stated policy of the Israeli government (with US assistance and support)is?
Intentionally targeting civilians in an effort to bring about political change in Lebanon is state sponsored terrorism pure and simple.

Oh yeah, that too. Come to think of it he was a fucking idiot.
Look, dumbass. You know the ACLU crack is coming, so you
a) turn to your asshole opponent and go about explaining slowwwwly what the ACLU's mission is, and how its principles of defending free speech often lead it to advocate positions that not even you can fully agree with;
b) be ready with examples where you, as governor, very publicly fought against them when they did go 'too far'; and
c) because the ACLU nevertheless has the courage to go out on a limb, come what may, in defending our right to free speech, that yes, you are proud to carry an ACLU card in your wallet.
Thus you would a) demonstrate how simplistic and demagogic your opponent was being, b) get up in his face with proof you're no kneejerk liberal lapdog, and still c) show a couple of hundred million Americans watching that you HAVE A FUCKING SPINE.
Although you might've given that fight away when you failed to react to the Kitty-rape question by telling the guy, 'shove that question right up your ass.'

It doesn't make any sense.
You're the second person (Moonbee was the first) to say that today (that I've seen).
I hate the whole freaking mess. I loathe Bushco, and I'm way past disappointment when it comes to Israel's behavior.

As difficult as it is to imagine Jews who escaped the ghettos often returned on their own.
Where could they go, what could they do, how could they live in the forests. Maybe the youngest and robust could but most couldn't.

As Dershowitz would say, there's a spectrum.
Some can be genuinely good in the old-style local politics way (like Capuano in this case), while others still come across as empty suits (my impression after meeting Patrick Kennedy) or worse. I don't think I'd be able to share a room with Delay, for example.

They'll parrot, "Israel has the right to defend itself" and try to change the subject. I am afraid, as usual, that most Americans do not understand that the potential for events to really run away from us this time. Bush's disasterous policies and reckless rhetoric may force a more direct involvement such as an attack on Syria, Iran or both. Since we are in no position to fight such a war conventionally, and Americans have been dismissively saying, "We should wipe 'em all off the map!" for years now, this one has the potential to go nuclear. I have long thought that the US would never nuke people who look like us (honkies) but would not be as squeemish about hitting "the others". If we hit Iran with a "bunker buster" tactical nuclear missile the radiation cloud (according to the Union of Concerned Scientists) would kill many in India and Pakistan (both with nukes). This is scary stuff to say the least and we are marching down that road right now.
Tom--I'm forced to agree. No one is paying attention to what is going on, but then again, all the reporting about the "humanitarian crisis" and Kofi Annan on Larry King Live might shift the direction of understanding, eventually.
Lord knows it's hard to justify this on the basis of three kidnapped soldiers.
Tom | Homepage | 07.22.06 - 7:24 pm
Tom,
I agree with a lot of your post, but I think there's another element to consider. If I figured out that this war could be contained if Syria and Iran remained on the sidelines (gritting their teeth and muttering imprecations the whole time), surely the other governments in the area have also.
Folks tittered at the Arab League meeting last weekend, but I think those folks made it a point to calm Syria down at least. Iran, who knows?
Just saw the Chimp on CNN saying imagine how the US would react if one of our soldiers were taken by a terrorist group.
As opposed I guess to killing 2600+ and wounding 20,000. Killing's one thing but kidnapping, how dare they.

The Ugly Truth About the President
Cenk Uygur, HuffingtonPost.com
The transcript of the President's latest mishap with a microphone reveals the undeniable fact that Bush is an imbecile.

peace out. Remember, Vote Groin, not Blue.
off to Gummo's.
4:21 and it's still hotter in L.A. than GWBush's ass after Condi spanks it.
From the 3-way race link provided in the post:
We see that Lamont has Halibuton stock too. Isn't he part of the problem then, benefitting from death and destruction? Yes, I know what blind trusts are.
I know many people who only buy green stocks because they choose to take a stand on their moral principles.
The way I see it, this is hypocrisy.

Then you can understand when I first moved up here that I had to put my hearing on fast motion. I lived in the Boston area and couldn't understand anyone because of the speed of their speech and not pronouncing R's. A guy from India was my interrupter with coworkers. All foreigners up here love me as they say that I talk so slow that they can understand me. I type slow too.

That's one thing that I picked up as a kid- no accent, but we all have my mom's ratta-tat-tat delivery. We all sound like frigging Denis Leary. So when we actually lived in the South, there was always a lot of rude foot-tapping waiting for people to finish.
Of course, none of this prepared me for Ireland.

Respectfully, in combat, soldiers are not "kidnapped". They are taken prisoner, or become POWs, but not kidnapped. The use of that word is framing from the administration to make the "bad guys" seem more bad and less human than us, the "good guys."

Bushboy has a mediocre mind that is severely compromised by a belief system that has little or nothing to do with reality.
In addition, he's an egotistical s.o.b., which puts the finishing touch on any possibility of this depraved moron making any decisions that make any sense.
Hence the invasion of Iraq, the gutting of the federal budget, the ignoring of Katrina and the neverending posturing and pontificating. Sounds and fury emanating from Bushboy that signify absolutely nothing!

Probably. I suppose one could argue that in what is deemed "legitimate" combat, that POW is always the correct term, but that when there is non-declared combat of some sort, that insurgents could "kidnap" other combatants. Or civilians, who are not taking part, thus are not combatants.
So I guess the whole thing is a bit murky.
But that doesn't change the administrations, and the media's acceptance, of the word 'kidnapping."
I mean, US soldiers in Iraq are not Elizabeth Smart, fer crissakes.

No, these innocent soldiers were engaged in latrine duty when they were kidnapped.....
I saw the movie "Munich" on video last night and the movie, "Through a scanner darkly," tonight.
I thought Munich was worthwhile as it showed the madness, the cruelty and the futility of all the venegeance wreaked on Israel and Palestine on each other. The futility is demonstrated by the fact that 24 years later, the killings continue with no end in sight.
"Scanner," was more stylish than substantive.
It's against the geneva conventions to kidnap civilian soldiers engaged in non-combat duties.
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israel will pursue its war on Hizbollah with more military incursions into south Lebanon, but will not unleash a full-scale invasion for the moment, an Israeli army spokesman said on Saturday.

This July 20 Quinnipiac University Connecticut Poll maches the primary numbers pretty close:
U.S. Senate candidate Ned Lamont has surged to a razor-thin 51 - 47 percent lead over incumbent Sen. Joseph Lieberman among likely Democratic primary voters
But in the general not so good:
In possible general election matchups:
* Lieberman defeats Republican challenger Alan Schlesinger 68 - 15 percent;
* Lamont beats Schlesinger 45 - 22 percent, with 24 percent undecided;
* Running as an independent, Lieberman gets 51 percent, to 27 percent for Lamont and 9 percent for Schlesinger.

I study genocide and one of the odder criticisms of Samantha Power's book The Problem from Hell was that it didn't cover all the genocides that the US may or may not have done something about. And if she wasn't going to write about all of them, she should write about any of them.
It was this whiny review which had nothing to do about the content of the book, and I just wanted to write the guy and tell him, 'you care so much about East Timor, write your own book'
I'm a very empathetic person, but can't care about everything. Not internationally, not domestically. But there are plenty of other people out who do care about the things that I don't care about.

Delurking, even worse than the high temps here in the Sierras is the state of the air quality. I live on western slope; due to the high rate of growth in the San Joaquin Valley all the air pollution spreads eastward and builds up at the Sierra Mountains. We've been at high alert for bad air quality for the past five days(and I moved here from SoCal to get away from the polluted air). We've all had to limit our outside exposure to the pollution here in what we call God's country. So wrong.

I believe what the individual is referring to are such people as aid workers, medical and charity, whose presence is as a result of a war. Generally these individuals are given 'assimilated rank' in order to avoid the problem - thus, American Red Cross aid workers, while civilians, will hold 'assimilated rank' and under Geneva must be treated with the deference due that rank if captured or otherwise compromised.
Course that don't count during a period of undeclared war where it's all so chummy that we don't need to do silly things like decide who is what or what can be done or not.

Well, Presbyterians anyway. Yes, the Presbyterians proselytised most of Lebanon, starting back in the early 1800s. Thus the American University is (or was) a Presbyterian institution and the kirk maintains a very large presence.
It's okay that people like Condi and Rumsfield and the rest are unaware of this. But most midwesterners who attended mainstream churches thru the '80s or so should certainly have remembered putting pennies in the Mission box....

To the Baptists and the the Pentecostals, -I- am too brown to be truly Christian. Hell, that's probably why the proselytising business has fallen off so sharply - with the exception of the Assembly of God people and the Mormons thru out Mexico and Latin America of course. I mean, there's no benefit to turning Christian if you still get bombed - check with the Japanese and the Chinese sometimes.... Not to mention the Koreans. Those pennies in the Mission box - well, those people couldn't possibly become actual -Christians-. Like all those RC's and nuns and stuff in Africa - or those crazy Pisskies - they're just playing.

Dodd tests presidential waters in Florida
Dodd said people are "nauseated" by the country's polarization under President Bush.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was scheduled to speak Saturday night and retired Gen. Wesley Clark on Sunday morning. Both also are considering presidential runs.
Was Dodd impressive enough to be considered for president?
"Oh God, yes!" said Casey O'Harra, 65, who chairs the Lake County Democrats. "I would definitely be able to support him as president."
Jacqulyn Mack, 36, of Sarasota said she likes New York Sen. Hillary Clinton but questions whether she can win the presidency and would love to see a run by former Vice President Al Gore, who lost the presidency in 2000 after Florida's five-week recount gave Bush a 537-vote win.
But she can see herself supporting Dodd because he is electable. "I've got my options wide open," she said. "I want somebody that's going to win. Senator Dodd's history and his experience and his background give him a great deal of appeal to people across the political spectrum."
"I haven't thought about Dodd that much," said Pat Hogan, the Highlands County Democratic chair. "I probably will. It was a great speech."
Remember Tracy Chapman's debut album?

Or why small tragedies close to home are more tragic than big ones far away. Or why equal for all isn't. Or so on and so on.

"Bush couldn't lead his way out of a shopping bag."
Bush isn't a leader; he's a boss.
A leader takes the initiative, develops plans, directs others in said plans, studies the subject, solicits opinions, takes the responsibility, does the work.
a boss waits areound until the subordinates do everything and then present him with a completed plan, then simply nods yes or no. If yes, off the subordianates go to carry out the plan; if 'no', off they go to do a rewrite. the boss role is completely passive, and is limited to JUST the 'royal nod'.
Bush said it himself - he's the "Decider". the subordinates do all the thinking and working, then the idiot-king 'deciders' to approve or not.

Yesterday's 118F in Phoenix:
"Temperature reaches 118 degrees, highest in over a decade
Michael Clancy
The Arizona Republic
Jul. 22, 2006 12:00 PM
The mercury soared to 118 degrees Friday, making it the hottest day of the year, the hottest since July 1995 and one of the 11 hottest days since 1895, when temperature records first were kept in Phoenix.
The record heat, expected to continue today, sent crews from churches, government agencies and social service organizations into the streets in search of homeless people and others suffering outdoors.
The Phoenix area reached 118 at 4:07 p.m. Temperatures topped the 79-year-old record of 112 for the day by 1 p.m.
It was the hottest day since July 28, 1995, which at 121 degrees was one of only three days in Valley history to top 120.
The Valley came close Friday, and some locations, including Luke Air Force Base, hit 120 degrees.
However, a late-afternoon thunderstorm that moved across the north Valley dropped temperatures at Deer Valley Airport by 32 degrees within an hour, to 84 from 116."
And I've got the barbecue going to roast some corn. Yes. I know.
Takes me extra time to mow to make sure I don't go over any of them.
Ah, shit, I hadn't thought of that. Backyard's no problem, big yard, but half is cement & pool, other half is steep hillside.

i had a LOT of loud chirping sounds in the chimney a couple of years ago. Thought birds were nesting on it. Turned out to be raccoons nesting IN it. Baby racoons make some surprisingly birdlike cheeps and chirps, apparently.
But at least around here, the frogs are pretty good at dodging mowers, weedeaters, all that. So are snakes, voles, moles, beaver, whitetail, rabbits - just about everything from the animal kingdom save skunks. they figure you WILL avoid them. (So far, they are absolutely right)
-
These are much smaller approximately 3/4". They won't hop away like the rest but try to bury themselves in the grass. I mow shorter than I probably should so I have to pick them up and place them somewhere else.

Thought of those tiny things as baby frogs.

from the Wolcott piece:
Compare Iraq with Vietnam, and the sense of resignation and futility is apparent. I will never forgive Joe Lieberman for undercutting John Murtha and muffling the urgency of Murtha's warnings about how rapidly Iraq was unraveling by issuing one of his classic mushmouthed pieties. He immediately gave the White House and the War Party bipartisan cover, helping ensure the policies that weren't working would continue not working as the death-toll tabulator rose and rose.
A local soldier (20) was killed in Iraq the other day. When I opened the newspaper saw his picture on the front page - I thought about Jack Murtha and how the Republicans in the congress questioned his patriotism and courage when he first proposed the deployment. He kept saying we need to get our troops out of harms way - and that Iraq was now fighting a civil war.
Yes, Joe Lieberman undercut Murtha - and his last bit of pontificating before he voted against the Kerry and the Levin amendments should have been the last straw with the dems on the Hill.
Yet, they still support him. He doesn't deserve the support of progressives. Progressives should be supporting Lamont!!

We are burning the planet up.
The forests here have not torched off yet...
There is smoke in the air, so I'm downwind from some sort of forest fire.
If this heat continues, I expect to see some in the local mountains.
Hey Buzz, where are you? Grass Valley here, triple digits forecasted for the next week--gak. We've broken records today and should continue here. Between gas prices and my Pg&E bill I'm sinking fast.
from the number of toads and frogs in my yard, I think it's a sign that I am doing well.
We have the greatest little brown frogs this year, for the first time. They come out at night, hop all around the pool, climb the walls and windows, cuter than snot!
SteveAudio
Cool!
Plantsman, my experiences from planting in the fall in Massachusetts is that it kills more plants than spring plantings, especially if there is a wet winter. The bushes and trees do well, though.
Today I declared my efforts at maintaining plants, other than the grapevine, a handful of gerania, the trees and the plumbago, officially moot. Normally I declare King's X in August - we're a good three to four weeks early in the battle. I'm pretty sure I can keep what's still definitely alive, alive, but anything that was fading has had it. Got the new lawn established just in time - but it's bermuda and tough as nails. The two moved rosebushes may or may not make it - they're still rising sap, but leafless for the moment - they just didn't have time to settle in before the heat and I do not know how they'll go. The Meyer lemon, while not blossoming of course, we got planted and settled in time - of course it's five or six years old going in. The only other things that're hanging on are French lavender, French tarragon, rosemary and portulaca. The French are damned tough...
forgot to close tags - sorry for that.

tommorrow's Rich:
That the administration's stem-cell policy is a political fiasco for its proponents is evident from a single fact: Bill Frist, the most craven politician in Washington, ditched the president. In past pandering to his party's far-right fringe, Frist, who calls himself a doctor, misdiagnosed the comatose Terri Schiavo's condition after watching her on videotape and, in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, refused to dispute an abstinence program's canard that tears and sweat could transmit AIDS. If Frist is belatedly standing up for stem-cell research, you can bet he's read some eye-popping polls. His ignorance about HIV notwithstanding, he also knows that the facts about stem cells are not on Bush's side.
....
Tacticians in both political parties have long theorized that if a conservative Supreme Court actually struck down Roe v. Wade, it would set Republicans back at the polls for years. Bush's canonization of clumps of frozen cells over potential cancer cures may jump-start that backlash. We'll see this fall. Already one Republican senatorial candidate, Michael Steele of Maryland, has stepped in Bush's moral morass by egregiously comparing stem-cell research to Nazi experiments on Jews during the Holocaust.

The New Mexico State Fair
Actually, missy's brother, i'm currently living outside Danville. and i have been to Glascow a couple of times for the Highland Games. Love those.
Bagpipes echo nicely off the ridges here. Neighbors have learned not to play their music at non-neighborly levels from firsthand experencing that fact.

As many of you know, I am one of the quiet Christians around here.
I would just like to say that I find no reason to search my heart for forgiveness for that ... that dim bulb. Nor do I feel compelled to mutter Kyrie Eleison on his behalf.
NASA is now being directed to stop looking at Earth and concentrate on the Moon and Mars. All those data about global warming must be stopped.
They might discover the wrong reality.

I remember hanging with Van Halen's road crew in '82 or so, they all played golf. A beer each hole, and lines in the clubhouse before and after was the norm, I was told.
the first time I mowed out here I thought all those hopping things were grasshoppers, hate to think how many little frogs I scrambled.
Don't worry. I have this continuity of civiliananity thing I can tell you about. Those frogs asked for it.

I went to the Highland Games there about five years ago. I had an excellent time and ran across a few classmates from high school that I hadn't seen in years. Danville - so you are close to old Eastern KY University. Partied there a few times.
A beer each hole, and lines in the clubhouse before and after was the norm, I was told.

Why did haloscan truncate that from my previous response? Damn computer bastard. It's somehow Atrios' fault.
We had a bona fide cold front through today. It got up to 104 until about 11:00am, then the thunder started, and the temps dropped to 83 within an hour.
Made for one nice day here.
It's too bad david lee roth is such a loser.
"A beer each hole, and lines in the clubhouse before and after was the norm, I was told."
Back in the day, the University of Florida had a campus golf course. the first three holes were in a straight line - and the third hole green was across the street from a Publix grocery, which had Busch beer @ $6.50/case. The standard was that the worst score at hole #3 had to run across the 4 lanes of traffic and buy beer for all.
i knew some guys who could run Tiger Woods hard for the first three holes. They were shit from #4 on, and rarely played past 9.

I don't think it normally does but since EschII seems to be still born at this moment, some people are considering going there as a way to have an ESCH-SW-ABQ. I don't know if I'll make it myself. If I'm finally planted in Tucson by Sept., I think I may fire up one of the vehicles and cruise there myself.

And cattle pastures!
I suppose it's possible that even that wily old fraud Arlen Specter, supposedly a crusader for stem-cell research, will belch forth unusually pungent disappointment and express even graver reservations than usual on his Master's position on the issue.
His caustic utterances always serve to suggest that regrettably, shafts of the sunlight of principle have illuminated a noticable gap between his wiser view and his benighted bosses'.
It never amounts to anything when push comes to shove, and it doesn't convince me that Arlen really does have a pulse. But it's as predictable as dumpsters stinking to high heaven during an ultra-steamy heatwave.
Fresh thread, kids.

Heard a bit on NPR.
Warm Temps bring out the Bull Frogs.
The Froggers are loving it.
Cool thing, tho was that the guy they interviewed like to hand catch, not gig or shoot, so he could let them go if he did not have a frog dinner planned.

Diane, which dim bulb you referin' to?
my garden goal this year was to establish the aspargus & strawberries. Tomatoes have gone wild, can't get chili peppers to sprout, have replanted 4 times they refuse to grow. Been freezing yellow squash for a week. Corn is strangest I've ever seen. Had several corn plants that were 3 ears straight out of the ground, no stalk. The rest of the corn is stunted.
Also planted elderberry, witchhazel, hazelnut, & blueberry, & wild plum. Hope to get that herd of turkey to visit the front yard.
"Danville - so you are close to old Eastern KY University. Partied there a few times."
It's 40 or 50 mi. from Danville to Richmond (home of EKU), but i commute it regularly to work @ Patty A. Clay hospital there. Richmond does still have one of the largest ratios of liquor stores to native population in the country, so they can't have changed all that much from what you remember.

And cattle pastures!
Proper pasturage, when the cattle are rotated between marginal fields, is not a waste of land. It's a good use for fields that are:
too rocky to plow,
too dry to irrigate,
too hard to farm.
The cattle can digest and turn into food things that are inedible to humans.
Oh agave, I do know the hotel with the train:the Northern Queen. It ran behind where I worked. We would wave to the touristas when they chuffed by on the the narrow guage railway.
I lamented the clearing of the area for the railway because it tore up the fox and quail habitat. I used to watch the new fox litters and quail hatchings in the evenings through my office window. I treasure those scenes.
It's too bad david lee roth is such a loser.

Takes one to know one, jack.
GWPDA, there is an age-old phrase i abbreviate "NOKD" - "NOT OUR KIND, DEAR". It is trotted out to explain why the church charity fundraiser will go to a middle-class insured family who had a house fire and not to the unmarried mom in the projects. Or why small tragedies close to home are more tragic than big ones far away. Or why equal for all isn't. Or so on and so on.
Lebanese, Christian or not, to the many of the US - DEFINITLY to the hard-core GOP 35% - are NOKD. And so "like that - *poof!* - they're gone".
Cynicus
The finest argument I've seen yet for taxes over charity.

Al Czezwick
Country clubs, yes.
But lay off cemeteries.
In Simon Jenkins's book "Christianity: The New Millennium" he describes trying to talk to an evangelical about the Lebanese Christians and is told, "There are no Christians in Lebanon!"
Actually most of the Christians are Maronites -- an Eastern Rite of the RC Church which probably oringiated as "Monothelites" (check it on Wiki! if you are interested -- not to be confused with "Monophysites"!)
Of course to a "good" evangelical, RCs are not Christians...
