I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Hi all!
who the what now?
And have you seen Simels, M31?
What is it with these wankers supporting Lieberman? He lost. He isn't a Democrat any more. Let him go off to collect his Fox News and lobbying fees and leave us alone.
Bigger wanker.
Simels? He's posted recently, but I can't recall if today.
Meh. And here I liked his explanation that "Santorum is Latin for asshole."
the never-been class of 2000!
Bob Kerrey is certainly a puzzlement.
Bob Kerrey, he's a maverick!
Bet he's not as well-read as Bush, neither!
meanwhile...
GOP big spenders have lunch with Bush
CRAWFORD, Texas - The Republican Party's big spenders were rewarded with a barbecue lunch with President Bush on Friday at a $750,000 fundraiser at a ranch neighboring the president's Texas home.
The fundraiser was closed to the public and the press, but the Republican National Committee reported that the attendees included 350 people who have each raised at least $15,000 for the party this cycle.
The lunch was at Stan and Kathy Hickey's Broken Spoke Ranch, a 478-acre spread next to the president's home where Bush is spending 10 days on vacation from the White House. Bush addressed to group after an introduction by RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman.
1st of many. Good on ya, Bob
Well, fuck me.
I just wanted to collectively thank all y'all, in the thread below, and then... sheets!
$5000+ is what y'all have contributed in the past year. I'm amazed and humbled, and, I thank you.
.
I was surprised that Kerrey is being such a fucking moron. I mean, what the fuck. He's president of the New School, the place where Jean Rohe ripped McCain a new one.
Bob Kerrey is a disgrace to democrats.
I've led the Senate on issues like national security the creation of the 9/11 commission; efforts to stop global warming; protect social security and find cures for diseases like cancer and diabetes.
Jebuz, I guess he created the internets, too. Landed on the moon. Discovered penicillin.
Sorry, Joe. You don't make the rules. There's only one round and you LOST it, motherfucker.
Get over it.
Kerrey, you're on my list. Lamont should go get that chick who embarassed you and McCain so badly that you had a rash for weeks.
They just don't get it:

Okay, I'm going off topic:
PERSEIDS (maximum August 12, 23h UT [4pm PDT; 7pm EDT])
Moon: Waning Gibbous (major interference)
Best viewing window: Saturday evening, August 12, from the end of evening twilight through Sunday morning, August 13.
Recommended for: Anyone interested in meteors; just remember that the Moon will detract from the show.
The Perseids are probably the most-watched annual meteor shower. The shower has a very long duration, from about July 15 through August 25. The shower is most interesting around its peak on August 12 or 13. This year, the waning gibbous Moon will be a big nuisance, riding high in the sky during the morning hours when the Perseid radiant is high. In addition, the shower's normal peak will occur during daylight for North American observers. The radiant is above the horizon the entire night for observers north of latitude 32N, but it is fairly low at the end of evening twilight. Evening Perseid rates are low, then, but there are usually enough meteors to be interesting. The Moon is also low in the evening this year, and hopefully rates will not have fallen too far from their peak. East Coast observers will be favored this year. Serious observers will watch all night long, and deal with the Moon as best they can. Face the darkest part of your local sky, and if the Moon is in your field of view try to block it with some sort of obstruction.
Rates for most observers will probably top out at around 15-30 Perseids per hour, with a few sporadic and minor shower meteors added to the mix. Die-hard observers may be watching on adjacent nights; unfortunately, there are no Moon-free periods this year.
Perseids are fast meteors and tend to be fairly bright on average. An occasional fireball is seen, but these seem to depend on the luck of the draw.

Kerrey and Lieberman have the same view of social security.
At least lieberman isn't guilty of mass murder...well, not hands on mass murder. Not surprising for a war criminal to support a bloodthirsty little war porn lover like lieberman.
We all remember how kerrey spent eight years trying to submarine clinton, purely out of spite for losing to him in the 92 primaries. We may all cringe at the thought of ben nelson, but kerrey was worse...a vindictive, grandstanding prick, but a media fave (how else do you explain his getting a pass after details surfaced on his cowardly massacre of innocent vietnamese).
Don't forget, kerrey kept sticking the shiv in clinton's back for eight years, right up to the russian tea room episode.
How many people even remember who the hell Bob Kerrey is at this point?
I seem to remember that Linda Ronstadt chewed off part of his leg.

I'm a little slow, I admit, but I just figured out that all of this by Mr. Lieberman is not about 2006, but 2008: he really must believe that he can parlay a win as an independent into a Democratic nomination for president.
Apparently he has convinced Mr. Kerrey of that as well.
How sad is that?

I'll give you a short attention span, from Billmon:
The bad news:
Some 30 percent of Americans cannot say in what year the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington took place, according to a poll published in the Washington Post newspaper.
The good news:
While the country is preparing to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 lives and shocked the world, 95 percent of Americans questioned in the poll were able to remember the month and the day of the attacks. (emphasis added)

However Team Connecticut for Lieberman won't allow these results to stand. We're going to come back strong in the next quarter."

So now it is onto the made up allegations, dipshit? Or do you have substantiated evidence that Lamont owns stock in Halliburton?
Well, I must retire for the evening.
Let the namestealer talk to itself all it wants.
Expound means to do more than repeat un-sourced blind statements. Flesh it out, develop it into a explanatory thesis. Surely you're not calling Lamont a hypocrite after admitting that you are just engaging in schadenfreude?

Obtuse??...much??
Ummm...BTW...when did I admit I was engaging in schadenfraude?
the reason i asked about "proletariat" was because thom hartmann said he passed away. he was member of his chat room. cited his blog but i didn't catch the name. wondered if it was one i used to read.

Well, I stated that you hated Kerrey and you admitted as much and said that made it sweeter.
We got yer security *hangin*
- While the British terror suspects were hatching their plot, the Bush administration was quietly seeking permission to divert $6 million that was supposed to be spent this year developing new homeland explosives detection technology.
Congressional leaders rejected the idea, the latest in a series of steps by the
Homeland Security Department that has left lawmakers and some of the department's own experts questioning the commitment to create better anti-terror technologies.
Homeland Security's research arm, called the Sciences & Technology Directorate, is a "rudderless ship without a clear way to get back on course," Republican and Democratic senators on the Appropriations Committee declared recently.
"The committee is extremely disappointed with the manner in which S&T is being managed within the Department of Homeland Security," the panel wrote June 29 in a bipartisan report accompanying the agency's 2007 budget. Read the rest here

Sure I do...and look, Lamont lied about that, too.
Here's the link, followed by an excerpt. Need anything else, Snow, Slimiest?
http://www.boston.com/news/local...x_returns_show/
"Lieberman's campaign continued to accuse Lamont of misleading the media about whether he holds between $15,000 and $50,000 direct stock in Halliburton, the Texas-based oil services conglomerate once led by Vice President Dick Cheney.
"Ned Lamont's willingness to mislead the public about the fact that he owns tens of thousands of dollars in Halliburton stock is troubling," Steinfels said.
Lamont said earlier this month that the stock was part of a mutual fund, but his campaign later corrected the statement and said it was part of a managed stock account."
No, not more Curly!?!

He's such a purty kitty!
the lamont camp argued his stock was picked by the company managing his portfolio, not lamont himself.

By backing Lieberman, Kerrey gets to go on all the chat shows and show his mug. That's called a comeback, in showbiz terms.

Zap -- what a dick. Since WGG isn't around I'll call him a shitwhistle for good measure.
(Are you OK?)
But you hate Lieberman, too. So you don't really care about who supports him. You are just enjoying what others tell you is the end of the Democratic Party. So, I believe I am using the word correctly so I shall decline your invitation to look it up.

Bob "Will Never Be President" Kerrey?
Who cares?
Vicki, the moving van is arriving tomorrow morning so I'll be slaving away for awhile. I don't think the moving contract includes unpacking though it did include the packing that I didn't want to do my self. I found a huge collection of black widow spiders in one of the storage sheds I'm planning on using for the boxes that overflow what space I have here, so I'm fumigating the sheds right now. My yard is pretty nice. Some of the plants that really are not adapted so well to the desert have died due to lack of care, but that's all right. I'm planning on just doing desert landscaping except for a couple of citrus trees anyway. Those are all right, they were on an automatic drip system. I like the Ocatillo (sp?) bushes, I've got growing in my front yard. The heat has been bad here, but it also was so in Montana. At least I don't have to breath the terpine smoke from the forest fires. My lungs are already happier. I'm far enough out in the desert to have cooler weather in the evenings. It's already cooled off to the 70s by now.
British security officials to US -- Shut the fuck up.
They also delayed telling the US the details as long as possible because of this Administration's track record of prematurely blowing terrorist investigations for political gain.
And they are so desperate that they are trying to get credit for prevention of a potential terrorist attack by the very tactics (diligent law enforcement) that they sneer at.
Sorry. Carry on.

Bob "Will Never Be President" Kerrey?

He wants a cabinet position in the Lieberman White House. Sad, really.

It's family stuff right now. I love her to bits; but you can only see each other 18 hours a day so often.
Bob Kerry admitted to committing some[war crimes] a few years back.
Indeed he did. I don't get his wishy-washy stance on the Bu$h admin's complete FUBAR in all things military. He ought to know better.
Kerrey belongs in a jail cell -not on the campaign trail. Every time that motherfucking child killer appears in public, someone should shout:
"THAN PHONG!"
Hey Doug, sounds good!
Arizona is a lovely state...I love the west and the Rockies, though, so I'm probably not terribly objective.
I hope the moving transition goes nicely. Glad you're killing the black widows...
Right now, it is 59 degrees here. I dare say we've had one of the most beautiful nights of the year. The 100+ weather was horrifying - Michigan, because of the microcosm with the lakes, is very humid in the Summer.
Though, Em gets credit (and a "bingo") for this.

I was born at night, but it was not tonight.
Another odd thing I had to do was some work on the filtration system for the pool in the back yard. The pump seals were blown out an they didn't move much water. I finally decided to just replace the pump, since it showed quite a bit of wear otherwise. The rest of the filtration system looked OK once I back flushed it for awhile.
My yard is full of bunny rabbits, but no jack rabbits. Kody (my labrador) is overjoyed at this. She has something to chase everytime she goes outside.
The rain storms are still dumping an unusual amount of water for the summer monsoon rains. This isn't a problem except that I dont' have any trimming equipment here right now so things are getting a bit overgrown. Oh well that stuff is on the moving truck and I'll have that tomorrow.
Nim, hamhock of liberty, can you please take my advice and make to Farmers' Market tomorrow? It will be well-worthy you time as nearly everything is reaching its peak. I am even guess that there will be some Ida Red apples.

It's easier to take a mold of the desired part with plaster of paris.
There should not be any hair, otherwise it will be removed when the plaster mold is removed. The other consideration is that plaster of paris is a bit restrictive, so that a mold should only be made of one side of the chest at a time, to prevent aphixiation.

You know, Mom did the best she could, but after all, it was fleet week and she had to pay the light bill. My nickname is Kearsarge.
That's because the US crowed about some guy captured in Pakistan and tipped off the July 7th bombers last year.
they revealed that info in the run up to the 2004 US elections. Doing so allowed some of the plotters to escape who later were involved with the 7/7 bombings in London.
So if the Bush people weren't such fucking scumbags the Tube bombings might have been prevented. Fighting terrorism my ass.

-11 Deja Vu
by
Larry C Johnson
Let's at least give George W. Bush credit for being consistent. Prior to 9-11 he was warned on multiple occasions that Al Qaeda was ready to strike inside the United States. His response--do nothing. Now we are informed that Bush knew about the terrorist threat of liquid explosives since at least last Friday, 4 August 2006. According to Yahoo News:
Snow said Bush first learned in detail about the plot on Friday, and received two detailed briefings on it on Saturday and Sunday, as well as had two conversations about it with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
What did George do? NOTHING. No effort, whatsoever, to raise the terrorist threat level. No effort to boost aviation security procedures. I traveled on British Air from Tanzania to London on Tuesday, August 8th. I traveled from London to Brussels on British Air on Tuesday, August 8th. I carried bottles of liquid on both flights. Blair and Bush knew about this since last Friday and did nothing? That's right.
Bush, like a 12 year old boy on summer vacation, waited and rode his bike around his Texas ranch. No effort to task TSA to come up with tools to detect liquid explosives. No new inspection procedures. Just enjoy his vacation. That, boys and girls, is how the first 9-11 happened. And Gorgeous George wants credit for keeping us safe at home? Not this time. Never again!

How can they give the confiscated airport items to the homeless if they don't know if they're explosives or not?
by John in DC - 8/12/2006 12:04:00 AM
I'm talking about the new things they're confiscating at the airport. They say the products are unopened, but they're giving them to the homeless in Phoenix. Okay, then how do you know they're not explosives that you're handing to the homeless, since you haven't opened them? Apparently, the airport people, in Phoenix at least, know quite well that the stuff they took off of the passengers in line were not explosives. So why did they take it in the first place?
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport planned to give 11 boxes of surrendered items to the city's human services department, which will give the unopened bottles of shampoo, toothpaste and other items to homeless shelters, airport spokeswoman Lexie Van Haren said.

LIEBERMAN TOLD ABOUT PLOT LAST THURS.
Joe and the GOP have been playing political games with this for days. This is a classic case of partisan misuse of intelligence. They should all have their security clearances pulled.
" (A) senior White House official said that the British government had not launched its raid until well after Mr Cheney held a highly unusual conference call with reporters to attack the Democrats as weak against terrorism.
An aide to Senator Lieberman, who would have been one of the first Democrats to hear of the plot because he is the top Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said the lawmaker first heard of it on Thursday.

In fact the UK did not inform us because they did not trust the people who are actually in control of national security: the Conservative Republicans of the George W. Bush Administration.

But he said in a statement Thursday that he was backing Ned Lamont, the man who defeated Lieberman in this week's Democratic primary.

Rule #1 for interrupting criminal/terrorist conspiracy rings: If your investigation is fortunate enough to identify members of said criminal terrorist/conspiracy, and you need to make arrests because (a), you have enough evidence to convict, and (b) waiting any longer would place the public at risk, KEEP ANY ARRESTS OF SUSPECTS SILENT:
DO NOT:
Notify or speak with the media or speak to reporters.
DO: Make any necessary arrests as quietly as possible, file sealed indictments, and make certain your terrorist suspect is isolated and prevented from sending any word or signal to others still at large.
Now then, regarding the alleged plot to blow up 9 airliners using liquid explosives, what did you just see, and when.

good night you freedom fighters and lovers of the truth.......
I heart Wes Clark! He's really come a long way since his run in '04. Even after Kerry got the nomination, Clark so improved on the stump. I thought his speech at the convention was hands down the most powerful (and that includes Obama's). And I'll never forget his defense of Kerry on Hannity/Colmes that nearly caused Hannity to have a stroke. It was hilarious, especially because Clark was so calm and just sat there and smiled while Hannity's face turned the color of cherry tomatoes...
It's great that he's remaining politically engaged. No matter what he decides to do for '08, he's a great weapon for the Dems.

Grass in the WSS: well, that was a very long time ago, and we have an enormous portion of lifetime besides service to the Nazi state-religion to judge him by. Pope Ratzo has always been a force for reaction and barbarism, associated with the ultra-conservative wing of the Catholic Church. Grass inarguably has devoted his adult life to preventing Nazism and things approaching it. To judge Nazis ask, what would we think of these people if the Nazi part were totally subtracted? Grass comes out smelling like a rose, Ratzo is still a fucking creep, and not just for resembling the Emporer in Star Wars.

It's not difficult for intel assets to create a "cell" of stooges who are then "busted" for plotting terrorist acts. The media eats that stuff up. And the political operatives bask in knowing that their fear tactics continue to work magic time after time after time.
Suddenly, anyone with bottled liquids and a camera are capable of carrying out a terror attack. On a plane. On a bus. On a subway. At the ballpark. On a beach. In a restaurant or movie theater. Anywhere. The world as we know it has just reached an end.
Of course, this risk has always existed. Long before 9/11 and afterward. It's really nothing new. Unless you're those selling fear to the masses.

Who wants to lay odds on the Brits deciding to "roll up" the plotters when they did because they got all the usual "tells" from the administration - Cheney and others suggesting that anytime a Bush warmongering enabler loses (Lieberman), it "emboldens" the terrorists? Having watched the Bushies blow it in other cases, for their own political gain (screw the public safety), they knew they had to move before BushCo blew it.

I have been on again off again on the impeachment factor. However, I have settled on Impeachment as a priority item after November. Sorry, things will be messy, but I really think we have a volatile lot in the Whitehouse. So basically, I agree.
My wishlist also includes placing competent civilians and military in place and removing the boot lickers and "true believers". If you want to lose the neo-cons at the same time, more the better. And a real gas would be arranging a real task force with real authority to hunt down Bin Laden and crew and bring that to a conclusion.
Fuck these motherfuckers:
Three men charged in the brutal attacks on six men leaving gay pride celebrations in San Diego earlier this month will appear in court September 12 for a preliminary hearing.
The trio appeared in court briefly to have the date set.
Prosecutors are attempting to have a 15-year-old teen also charged in connection with the attacks, tried as an adult. An August 23 court date has been set in his case.
James Allen Carroll, 24, is charged with two counts of attempted murder, six counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of conspiracy to commit robbery and hate crime allegations.
Lyonn Taz Tatum, 18, is charged with six counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of conspiracy to commit robbery and hate crime allegations.
Kenneth James Lincoln, 23, is charged with three counts of being an accessory after the fact.
The 15-year-old, who cannot be named, is charged in Juvenile Court with six counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of conspiracy to commit robbery and hate crime allegations.
Police allege all four are members of a "wannabe" street gang called the "Low Lifes."

We've been hit by terror since 9-11.
1- Airliner 'crash' just after 9-11, off the northeast coast.
2- Highway snipers in DC, Ohio, new ones this week.
3- Niagara power facility hit from Canada side, most likely an AQ strike. Afterwards we pulsed Canada and did a series of stings and busts.
4- Anthrax Mailings. Matched the timeline of a lobbyist visits to DC who worked bioweapons for contractors and killed self after his business partner's failed murder.
5-Church arson fire bombings in the south along the Bama-Mississippi border.
6- Shooting people at Katrina done by KBR contractors in NOLA.
7- A series of train fires/derails sabotage on the Bama-Miss region.
8- Series of refinery fires in Texas, most likely insurance scam arson work.

They don't check them. That/s the problem. They are supposed to be able to bring them on as carry-on. If I was on a flight with them, I would be tempted to ask and pay for a concert at 37,000 feet.

Privacy advocates and search industry watchers have long warned that the vast and valuable stores of data collected by search engine companies could be vulnerable to thieves, rogue employees, mishaps or even government subpoenas.
Four [4 search engines mind you] major search companies were served with government subpoenas for their search data last year, and now once again, privacy advocates can say, “We told you so.”
AOL’s misstep last week in briefly posting some 19 million Internet search queries made by more than 600,000 of its unwitting customers has reminded many Americans that their private searches — for solutions to debt or bunions or loneliness — are not entirely their own.

the rightards give up on israel via billmon.
For decades, Israel has enjoyed an extremely close relationship with the United States. These ties have grown even stronger during George W. Bush's presidency. Israeli leaders should not, however, take American support for granted.
kill or die?
By contrast, Israel's inability to defeat Hezbollah, at least at the tactical and operational level, makes it look less like a valuable ally and more like a liability.
The 'terrorism' hoax continues. The gov't is afraid after LIEberman lost. How much more can the gov't take away? They steal our 1st Amendment by detaining protestors in cages and pressuring Amazon to drop the book "America Deceived". They violate the 4th Amendment by illegal wire-taps and reckless search and seizures. The 'terrorism' card will be played and played until the elections. If it doesn't work and the polls do not show improvement, expect another 9/11 (with nukes) carried out by our gov't.
Be defiant, support indy media.

While we're talking about Israeli crimes, let's talk about ethnic cleansing in Sudan. Depending on who you believe, 200,000 to 650,000 black Africans -- men, women, and children -- have been slaughtered over the past two year by Arab Muslims for no other reasons than their skin color, their religious beliefs, and the fact that they are occupying land that the Arabs want.

What. A. Dickhead. Lets break this down , Liebie. Why are we "vulnerable"? Hmmm?
That's right, we are vulnerable becuase we are in Iraq, because you sent us there for reasons which, were and, remain patent bullshit.
So, you want us to remain there, for as long as you think it necesary, to remove a "vulnerability" which only exists because we are there, whichwil never diminish so long as we remain there?
How about this, tough-guy: Anybody who thinks we "need" to be there for the safety of our country, prove it. Put your money where your mouth is.
How, you say? Simple: You, Bush, and all the other brave steadfast souls who fear for America's "vunlnerability", get over to Iraq and stay there, until you figure we are no longer "vulnerable". You fucking maggot shitstain.

You're right, that's not credible.
I was watching the CNN and MSNBC channels a lot at the time, a caller for one of the news networks said they heard "a loud explosion" and the network showed smoke from facility.
Right afterward Canada had some sting operations go through. The IC probably got its act together after such prompting.
What i saw and heard in live time was never really followed, my lying eyes and ears later heard that a tree in ohio caused the multistate blackout.
Ohio's good about putting one over on the country like that I guess. The original story was that lightening caused it fromt he Canada side, yet NORAD showed none in the region on the radar for the day and date, i compared it on the local broadcasts of my news weather...
The Fair and balanced Eschaton links a Palast story for some British folks who did an enron-type scheme for the nine mile point facility. COnsidering the Energy Task Force and ties to the Downing Minutes I'll consider it a conspiratorial effort of fraud.
Could have been worse but the initial accounts didn't match the narrative later developed.
Why did the lighteneing report not match NORAD views?
Would the material be black smoke along the lines of incendiaries or ignited materials for homemade bombs?
john bolton, and all true christians, deplore the senselessness of the genocide in Darfur. so too the Pope, Bono, and an army of guilty liberal jewish teens in the United States. Nick Kristoff too.

smart thinking. we could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble by putting the germans in charge of ending the senseless slaughter of jews in europe also.
Larry C. Ford was the Anthrax mailer. He worked in South Africa, was reportedly an intel asset at a time. He bragged of doing biowarfare experiments on apartheid interns.
He was in DC when the Anthrax mailings occurred, he did paid lobby work there.
He had a contact at the MD lab most likely thought to be the source of the spores used, probably switched strains.
He shot self shortly afterwards, he had a half dozen patents for bio items. It's suspected he tried to kill a patent holder coworker to improve his share. The guy was shot in the face from behind while going to their work.
The man died of self inflicted wounds after a police interview.
His house was a collection of bioweapons, toxins, exposures. He buried items in a backyard pool, he worked at UCLA wand is suspected of using women in the Gynecology school as guinea pigs. Also it's thought he may have tried the same as insurance fraud on signifigant others, former coworkers or dates of female persuasion.
He wanted to create a pigment based toxin for use against non caucasians. Hewas at a time placed in/near troops in Desert Storm One as well for testing countertoxins or to test sample controls on our troops.
My old drive had more info on him...
he was not a pretty character and did the world a favor leaving except for possible testimony towards any of his other actions or associates. He even kept biotoxins in the food refridgerator at work to try and test occasional exposures on coworkers.
Time for some constructive criticism:

Did anyone thank dith for Ned Lamont's win? WHat about Scwha or Petzold?
Payroll goons, all of them.
I believe that the verdict was overload cascade, courtesy of an under maintained and unmodernized Ohio grid. The terrorism thing was a no-go from the get-go.
One thing is for certain, it is impossible that there was a hit at Beck. The first problem was 12:15 in Ohio. The first effects were felt in Michigan at 4. Ontario takes the hit just after that. Meanwhile the Beck station protection systems actualy kept a portion of the Peninsula online througout the blackout, and the other parts closest to Beck only lost power for a couple of hours.
It may have been the only time in history where people actually wished that they were in Dunnville.

I doubt they could stop it. None of them has ever done anything right, unless you call murder right. Again; why don't the people who are doing it stop it? They think it's wrong when someone kills them for no apparent good reason, so why don't they see that they are killing Africans for no good reason and KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF without having to have it pointed out to them? No one's defending Israelis or the US or anyone else -- I just want to know where the righteousness is in killing hundreds of thousands of people because they happen to be black, and because they're taking up space?
Why is that supposed to be right, and why should the people who claim to have given birth to civilization have to have it pointed out to them that it ISN'T right?
I would prefer you not mention the fact that the Sky Gods are fighting and throwing things all over everything right now. It's very loud, very bright, very wet and I. Do. Not. Like. It.

If you think that killing people just because they're black is defensible, then it doesn't matter whether you're drunk or not, because you're just plain evil. If you are, then if the world is lucky you'll drink yourself to death before you get to cause any real harm, assuming you haven't already.
how many displaced Sudanese by fed by the cost of one cluster bomb? or are Lebanese children more worthy of death, on a per/person cost/benefit ratio, than Sudanese children, or Iraqi children.
lyle raise a good point, one we should all be concerned about. where might American munitions best kill innocent infants, on a cost per death basis. my bet is Lebanon is where the real profits, so to speak, are to be had. at least in this fiscal quarter.

Just something I've noticed over the years.
He had a contact at the MD lab most likely thought to be the source of the spores used, probably switched strains.
- The anthrax used in the attacks had not been seperated from USAMRIID for more than 3 years. That does not mean that they came from there. Only four labs (plus USAMRIID) have actually been sequenced. The Porton Down/Kleim strain was an identical match to USAMRIID.
-"The strains were switched" doesn't fly. That Porton Down strain matched the USAMRIID strain exactly. It's been on ice as a reference strain for years, it's supposed to match exactly.
- Ford was working with the S Africans. Those were more than 3 years from the reference strain.
-You assert that he had some connection that had access to the reference strain at USAMRIID. Got any names or evidence for that?

No, you're going to have to continue to get teenaged boys to do that for you, as always.
Whatever credibility you ever had with me, you lost it forever tonight.
and your "megaphone " pals too, I hope. but it is great, grand, and glorious that Eschaton has stepped up in the world, with a better, more educated brand of trolls. Darfur, its the new BIOFUELS.
nice try, shill. and the

Visible, invisible,
a fluctuating charm
an amber-tinted amethyst
inhabits it, your arm
approaches and it opens
and it closes; you had meant
to catch it and it quivers;
you abandon your intent.
now there's two of them.

Why?
The seagulls by their looks suggest
that Emma is their name;
they wear a white and fluffy vest
and are the hunter's game.
I never shoot a seagull dead;
their life I do not take.
I like to feed them gingerbread
and bits of raisin cake.
O human, you will never fly
the way the seagulls do;
but if your name is Emma, why,
be glad they look like you.
We blame it on the meth, he wasn't like this when he was little. But then, there WAS that incident with the goat.

If that was indeed where I heard it, it wouldn't change the truth of the statement at all.
The panther is just like a leopard

Should you behold a panther crouch

Better yet, if called by a panther
don't anther.
I'm sorry you don't feel well. Did you really sit on scissors?
I was always having accidents around my mother's sewing equitpment as a kid. My sister and I would try to sew & drop needles into the carpet. Then we'd step on the needles which lodged in that awful 70s era shag.

Upon this fully apprehended planet--

Alas, alas--
Ran an animal unzoological,
Without a fate, without a fact,
Its private history intact
Against the travesty
Of an anatomy.
Not visible not invisible,
Removed by dayless night,
Did it ever fly its ground
Out of fancy into light,
Into space to replace
Its unwritable decease?
Ah, the minutes twinkle in and out

CLOUD-PUFFBALL, torn tufts, tossed pillows ' flaunt forth, then chevy on an air-
built thoroughfare: heaven-roysterers, in gay-gangs ' they throng; they glitter in marches.
Down roughcast, down dazzling whitewash, ' wherever an elm arches,
Shivelights and shadowtackle in long ' lashes lace, lance, and pair.
Delightfully the bright wind boisterous ' ropes, wrestles, beats earth bare 5
Of yestertempest’s creases; in pool and rut peel parches
Squandering ooze to squeezed ' dough, crust, dust; stanches, starches
Squadroned masks and manmarks ' treadmire toil there
Footfretted in it. Million-fuelèd, ' nature’s bonfire burns on.
I won't inflict the lanugage poetry on you all, since it looks like the infestation is fading -- but I love this title of Bruce Andrews's I Don't Have Any Paper So Shut Up (or, Social Romanticism)

Hay grave, my toes need cutting so file away in sound curve or
Garbage grave, way above my head, blood will soon trickle in my ear -
no choise but the grave, so cat & sheep are daisey turned.
Train will tug my grave, my breath hueing gentil vapor between weel & track.

So my toe can curl & become a snail & go curiousely on its way.

Ah, good...
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows.
Why he left his home in the South to roam 'round the Pole, God only knows.
He was always cold, but the land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell;
Though he'd often say in his homely way that he'd "sooner live in hell".
On a Christmas Day we were mushing our way over the Dawson trail.
Talk of your cold! through the parka's fold it stabbed like a driven nail.
If our eyes we'd close, then the lashes froze till sometimes we couldn't see;
It wasn't much fun, but the only one to whimper was Sam McGee.
And that very night, as we lay packed tight in our robes beneath the snow,
And the dogs were fed, and the stars o'erhead were dancing heel and toe,
He turned to me, and "Cap," says he, "I'll cash in this trip, I guess;
And if I do, I'm asking that you won't refuse my last request."
Well, he seemed so low that I couldn't say no; then he says with a sort of moan:
"It's the cursed cold, and it's got right hold till I'm chilled clean through to the bone.
Yet 'tain't being dead -- it's my awful dread of the icy grave that pains;
So I want you to swear that, foul or fair, you'll cremate my last remains."
A pal's last need is a thing to heed, so I swore I would not fail;
And we started on at the streak of dawn; but God! he looked ghastly pale.
He crouched on the sleigh, and he raved all day of his home in Tennessee;
And before nightfall a corpse was all that was left of Sam McGee.
Isn't my heart holy, more full of life's beauty,
since I fell in love? Why did you like me more
when I was prouder and wilder, more full
of words, yet emptier?
Well, the crowd likes whatever sells in the
marketplace; and no one but a slave
appreciates violent men. Only those who
are themselves godlike believe in the gods.
There wasn't a breath in that land of death, and I hurried, horror-driven,
With a corpse half hid that I couldn't get rid, because of a promise given;
It was lashed to the sleigh, and it seemed to say:
"You may tax your brawn and brains,
But you promised true, and it's up to you to cremate those last remains."
Now a promise made is a debt unpaid, and the trail has its own stern code.
In the days to come, though my lips were dumb, in my heart how I cursed that load.
In the long, long night, by the lone firelight, while the huskies, round in a ring,
Howled out their woes to the homeless snows -- O God! how I loathed the thing.
That rocks! Who is it?
geoduck | 08.12.06 - 3:26 am | #
Jack Spicer.
And every day that quiet clay seemed to heavy and heavier grow;
And on I went, though the dogs were spent and the grub was getting low;
The trail was bad, and I felt half mad, but I swore I would not give in;
And I'd often sing to the hateful thing, and it hearkened with a grin.
Till I came to the marge of Lake Lebarge, and a derelict there lay;
It was jammed in the ice, but I saw in a trice it was called the "Alice May".
And I looked at it, and I thought a bit, and I looked at my frozen chum;
Then "Here," said I, with a sudden cry, "is my cre-ma-tor-eum."
Some planks I tore from the cabin floor, and I lit the boiler fire;
Some coal I found that was lying around, and I heaped the fuel higher;
The flames just soared, and the furnace roared -- such a blaze you seldom see;
And I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal, and I stuffed in Sam McGee.
Then I made a hike, for I didn't like to hear him sizzle so;
And the heavens scowled, and the huskies howled, and the wind began to blow.
It was icy cold, but the hot sweat rolled down my cheeks, and I don't know why;
And the greasy smoke in an inky cloak went streaking down the sky.
do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear;
But the stars came out and they danced about ere again I ventured near;
I was sick with dread, but I bravely said: "I'll just take a peep inside.
I guess he's cooked, and it's time I looked"; . . . then the door I opened wide.
And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: "Please close that door.
It's fine in here, but I greatly fear you'll let in the cold and storm --
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it's the first time I've been warm."
We'd been flying all day long at a hundred fucking feet;
The weather fucking awful, fucking rain and fucking sleet;
The compass it was swinging fucking south and fucking north;
But we made a fucking landfall in the Firth of Fucking Forth.
Ain't the Air Force fucking awful?
Ain't the Air Force fucking awful?

Is this also Spicer?
I like the marketplace line and the "no one but a slave appreciates violent men." I wonder if I agree about the "godlike believe in the gods part."
Certainly a slave would be most wary of a violent man, because a slave would appreciate the use of violence in maintaining slavery.
Is this also Spicer?
Holderlin, actually. "Human Applause."
I can't quite find the right thing to fit the mood -- but I do like this Susan Howe:
Emily Dickinson once wrote to Thomas Wentworth Higginson; "Candor--my Preceptor--is the only wile." This is the right way to put it.
Friday nights always did get a little odd in here.
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears,
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright,
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine -
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
O rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
Every Emily Dickinson poem can be sung to the tune of "Yellow Rose of Texas."
In California During the Gulf War
Among the blight-killed eucalypts, among
trees and bushes rusted by Christmas frosts,
the yards and hillsides exhausted by five years of drought,
certain airy white blossoms punctually
reappeared, and dense clusters of pale pink, dark pink--
a delicate abundance. They seemed
like guests arriving joyfully on the accustomed
festival day, unaware of the year's events, not perceiving
the sackcloth others were wearing.
To some of us, the dejected landscape consorted well
with our shame and bitterness. Skies ever-blue,
daily sunshine, disgusted us like smile-buttons.
Yet the blossoms, clinging to thin branches
more lightly than birds alert for flight,
lifted the sunken heart
even against its will.
But not
as symbols of hope: they were flimsy
as our resistance to the crimes committed
--again, again--in our name; and yes, they return,
year after year, and yes, they briefly shone with serene joy
over against the dark glare
of evil days. They are, and their presence
is quietness ineffable--and the bombings are, were,
no doubt will be; that quiet, that huge cacophany
simultaneous. No promise was being accorded, the blossoms
were not doves, there was no rainbow. And when it was claimed
the war had ended, it had not ended.

Now Tomlinson gave up the ghost at his house in Berkeley Square,
And a Spirit came to his bedside and gripped him by the hair—
A Spirit gripped him by the hair and carried him far away,
Till he heard as the roar of a rain-fed ford the roar of the Milky Way:
Till he heard the roar of the Milky Way die down and drone and cease,
And they came to the Gate within the Wall where Peter holds the keys.
"Stand up, stand up now, Tomlinson, and answer loud and high
"The good that ye did for the sake of men or ever ye came to die—
"The good that ye did for the sake of men on the little Earth so lone!"
And the naked soul of Tomlinson grew white as the rain-washed bone.
"O I have a friend on Earth," he said, "that was my priest and guide,
"And well would he answer all for me if he were at my side."
—"For that ye strove in neighbour-love it shall be written fair,
"But now ye wait at Heaven's Gate and not in Berkeley Square:
"Though we called your friend from his bed this night, he could not speak for you,
"For the race is run by one and one and never by two and two."
Cool.
I's just curious, not critical.
I can't quite find the right thing to fit the mood -- but I do like this Susan Howe:
Pleased to hear that. I like her a lot (though I like Fanny Howe even better).
"See," drummed the taut masks, "how the dead ascend:
In the groin's endless coil a man is tangled."
Then Tomlinson looked up and down, and little gain was there,
For the naked stars grinned overhead, and he saw that his soul was bare.
The Wind that blows between the Worlds, it cut him like a knife,
And Tomlinson took up the tale and spoke of his good in life.
"O this I have read in a book," he said, "and that was told to me,
"And this I have thought that another man thought of a Prince in Muscovy."
The good souls flocked like homing doves and bade him clear the path,
And Peter twirled the jangling Keys in weariness and wrath.
"Ye have read, ye have heard, ye have thought," he said, "and the tale is yet to run:
"By the worth of the body that once ye had, give answer—what ha' ye done?"
Then Tomlinson looked back and forth, and little good it bore,
For the darkness stayed at his shoulder-blade and Heaven's Gate before:—
"O this I have felt, and this I have guessed, and this I heard men say,
"And this they wrote that another man wrote of a carl in Norroway."
"Ye have read, ye have felt, ye have guessed, good lack! Ye have hampered Heaven's Gate;
"There's little room between the stars in idleness to prate!
"For none may reach by hired speech of neighbour, priest, and kin
"Through borrowed deed to God's good meed that lies so fair within;
"Get hence, get hence to the Lord of Wrong, for thy doom has yet to run,
"And . . . the faith that ye share with Berkeley Square uphold you, Tomlinson!"

"Ye have read, ye have felt, ye have guessed, good lack! Ye have hampered Heaven's Gate;
"There's little room between the stars in idleness to prate!
"For none may reach by hired speech of neighbour, priest, and kin
"Through borrowed deed to God's good meed that lies so fair within;
"Get hence, get hence to the Lord of Wrong, for thy doom has yet to run,
"And . . . the faith that ye share with Berkeley Square uphold you, Tomlinson!"
The Spirit gripped him by the hair, and sun by sun they fell
Till they came to the belt of Naughty Stars that rim the mouth of Hell.
The first are red with pride and wrath, the next are white with pain,
But the third are black with clinkered sin that cannot burn again.
They may hold their path, they may leave their path, with never a soul to mark:
They may burn or freeze, but they must not cease in the Scorn of the Outer Dark.
The Wind that blows between the Worlds, it nipped him to the bone,
And he yearned to the flare of Hell-gate there as the light of his own hearth-stone.
The Devil he sat behind the bars, where the desperate legions drew,
But he caught the hasting Tomlinson and would not let him through.
"Wot ye the price of good pit-coal that I must pay?" said he,
"That ye rank yoursel' so fit for Hell and ask no leave of me?
"I am all o'er-sib to Adam's breed that ye should give me scorn,
"For I strove with God for your First Father the day that he was born.
"Sit down, sit down upon the slag, and answer loud and high
"The harm that ye did to the Sons of Men or ever you came to die."

Yeah, Death of a Ball-Turret Gunner springs immediately to mind.
Nothing has moved in this town.
Nothing at all. Only the soundless dark
And the wonder of night that came like wind
Unseen have wandered down these final streets.
Only the silent have come upon this mark.
There is no town so quiet on any earth,
Nor any house so dark upon the mind.
Only the night is here, and the dead
Under the hard blind eyes of hill and tree.
Here lives sleep. Here the dead are free.
The spider puzzles his legs and rests his web
On aftergrass. No winds stir here to break
The quiet design, nothing protests the weaving
Of taut threads in a ladder of silk:
He is clever, he is fastidious, and intricate;
He is skilled with his cords of hate.
Who can escape through the grass: The crane-fly
Quivers its body in paralytic sleep;
The giant moths shed their golden dust
From fettered wings, and the spider speeds his lust.
Who reads the language of direction? Where may we pass
Through the immense pattern sheer as glass?
What's happening unfortunately has a timeless quality that I thought the foregoing Dylan Thomas captured, though YMMV. Goodnight to anyone.

Last night I ran a fox over.
A sudden brilliant flash of gold,

And then the fatal thump.
I asked the fox to forgive me.
He spat as he died,
I asked God to forgive me.
I don't believe He will.

I'm just rather perplexed about the hostility comment. As I mentioned before, I was just curious as to why people were only posting poetry, and then I became critical, but not hostile, at the lack of conversation.
Hell, I even mentioned a poem my own self, so I don't see how I was hostile to the thread.

The book was tedious, it's true.
Peeperkorn was incoherent too.

Ricky Clousing, a Sergeant in the U.S. Army, and a veteran of the Iraq War who has been AWOL for a year announced today at the Veterans for Peace convention in Seattle that he will turn himself in later today at the gates of Fort Lewis and face whatever punishment the military chooses to impose.
Clousing said he did not apply for conscientious objector status because he is not certain he would oppose every possible war, such as one fought in self-defense.
I think Lieberman is going to throw one or two campaign stunts out, watch the polls to see if his numbers are competitive and either proceed or drop out based on that.

Does anyone have any info on the peroxide-based explosives to be supposedly used in the "al-Qaeda-type" bomber plot? From what I can discern from a brief study, to make an explosive from liquid one would have to mix ingredients, chill them, precipitate them out and dry them. Think this behavior on a plane might be suspicious? It would also take about ten hours. How slow do them planes fly?

Does anyone have any info on the peroxide-based explosives to be supposedly used in the "al-Qaeda-type" bomber plot?
Considering the sheer instability of most chemical materia for bombmaking, and the fact that many of them are actually easier to detect as the component chems than as the completed explosive (i.e., nitroglycerine may be unstable, but white fuming nitric acid, well, throws off easily scented pungent fumes), doubt you are going to find anything practical online or from friendly advice.
Remember, this London turrst plot was thoroughly infiltrated and monitored for over a year. They may not have advanced to the stage of having a bomb mixture. Or they may have thought they had one and didn't. Or they may have been relying on one of the group getting the explosive from some unnamed source -a nd that group member being the security services plant running a sting.
All-in-all, all this malarkey about binary or multistage explosive making from easily-available components is P.R. on TSA's part. Confiscating passenger liquids is easy and cheap, and does not lead to tough questions like "Why are you chasing the failed attempts like shoe bombs and liquids, and not installing chem sniffers at the x-ray gates?"

Anthrax cows:
Anthrax kills hundreds of animals
Outbreak reported at 123 farms in Saskatchewan, 17 in Manitoba
By TIM COOK
REGINA — An outbreak of anthrax has killed hundreds of farm animals in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and has ranchers in affected areas scrambling to make sure their livestock are protected from the naturally occurring but deadly bacterial disease.
As of this week, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency had reported anthrax had been found on 17 farms in Manitoba and 118 animals had died.
Hardest hit, however, was Saskatchewan and a large area to the east of Saskatoon, where 615 animals have died on 123 different farms since the outbreak was first noticed a month ago.
It’s the largest recorded anthrax outbreak on the Prairies, said Dr. Sandra Stephens, a veterinarian with the agency.
"This would be the largest number and involve the largest area that we would have recorded history for — back to the 1950s," she said.

Well, that would explain sending them to the US. Canada still has a working (= 'public interest protecting) government food protection system.

Not necessarily 'incompetence', per se (though a very high percentage), but the return of the sort of political spoils system for gubmint jobs that the civil service system was supposed to prevent - appointees chosen for GOP party affilitaion and party reliability, not ability to do the job.

As I said above, how many times and how many ways can we keep on saying the same things.
Vaporize Israel, 80% of you quietly agree.
I would support outlawing homsexuality.
There should also be laws against speech and political activity that encourages the enemy to attack us by showing weakness. We are at war against Islam. Shut up, Ned Lamont.
I would support outlawing homsexuality.

Bend over.
Let the free market decide.
I would support outlawing homsexuality.

Who will rid us of this tiresome beast?
Stop the obvious left wing media bias.
Perhaps the faculty of the New School should Lawrence Summers Bob Kerrey.
I transport underage barnyard animals across state lines for "research".
Kill the disloyal
How slow do them planes fly?
I think this is a question for Barry from AK.
Yup, sometimes our trolls really do serve a purpose. Kind of get the conversations going.
It really is scary how the ranks of the civil service have been over run with incompetents. And since many of these positions are protected, these guys and gals will be with us
A genuine civil service is one of the gifts the first wave of progressivism gave us. I've always been a big fan. It really enabled folks from all over the country -- not just those with connections -- to compete for government positions. But you did have to compete -- meet the qualifications of a position and score well on the test.
Not perfect by any means, but a genuine attempt at an egalitarian hiring system that culled the best candidates from those who applied.

Good morning, dearest moonbats.
ql, the trolls just get me shaking my head, wondering how they manage to breathe without adult supervision.
So I was talking to a friend in DC the other day, no conservative he, and he lamented the loss of Lieberman. "He's like the last of the guys who isn't in the extreme." I didn't bother point out exactly how centrist the Senate Democrats are, with just a few exceptions and how extremists are mostly on the right.
It's like a point of fact inside the Beltway, never to be rebutted, that Lieberman was a nice guy and a centrist and how that's somehow a positive for the Democratic Party.
This guy's coming to London in a week, so we may discuss it over a few pints.
Purge Jews from the government
Perhaps the faculty of the New School should Lawrence Summers Bob Kerrey.

Perhaps we should invent "Public Excommunication" for self-proclaimed Democrats that do not represent the views of the national base.
One of the things demonstrated by the Connecticut Primary was the disconnect between what elected Democratic representatives favor and the actual positions of those they "represent".
afternoon moonbats
I actually think most civil servants are more compentent than most political appointees, in most cases. Michael Brown: Political appointee. GS12 at FEMA: civil servant.
Fuck the Pope! How many divisions does he have?
Did W kiss Kerrey, too?
I've seen Kerrey on several occassions around town. Hope I see him again so I can tell him to get his head out of his ass.
Muslim reaction: 'This is sad. I'm afraid for the community. I do hope they're innocent. I do hope'
Asif Khan paid little attention to the two police officers guarding the entrance to the Totteridge Road mosque as its 150-strong congregation made its way to Friday prayers.
The mosque, in a dingy office block overlooking High Wycombe's railway station, was visited regularly by four of the six men arrested by anti-terrorism officers in this affluent Buckinghamshire town in the early hours of Wednesday.
Such was the fear of a backlash yesterday on Islam's day of prayer that one man deliberately left his sons - aged eight and 10 - at home. A police statement handed out to worshippers explained that the uniformed constables outside were not there in search of evidence but to dissuade what one officer described as "white lager louts" intent on fanning racist sentiment.
I've been working on a long blog post from my trip to Skye, and I lost about 200 words of it today. Dammit.
So I was talking to a friend in DC the other day, no conservative he, and he lamented the loss of Lieberman. "He's like the last of the guys who isn't in the extreme."
One has to laugh at the thought that Joementum is not extreme. Lie-by, a Democrat, has voted virtually straight party line with the repukes over the past 6 years for some of the most extreme legislation we've seen.
But, since he talks like Droopy Dog, he's not. Extreme, that is.
Blair ponders return as Muslims hit out
Tony Blair has been warned by leading British Muslims that the Iraq war and the UK's failure to use its influence to end Israeli attacks on civilians are fuelling extremism at home. Their views are set out in a letter as a full-page advertisement in newspapers.
The letter warns: "The debacle of Iraq and now the failure to do more to secure an immediate end to the attacks on civilians in the Middle East not only increases the risk to ordinary people in that region, it is also ammunition to extremists who threaten us all."
It was signed by three of the four Muslim MPs - Sadiq Khan, Shahid Malik and Mohammed Sarwar - as well as three of the four Muslim members of the House of Lords - Lord Patel of Blackburn, Lord Ahmed of Rotherham and Baroness Uddin. It was also backed by 38 Muslim groups, including the Muslim Council of Britain, the Muslim Association of Britain, the British Muslim Forum and the British Muslim Forum.
I've stopped giving to NARAL because they supported Joe and Lincoln.
People kind of have a knee jerk response to Joe. Somehow because he is older and has been around a long time, he became to be thought of as a statesman. 45% turnout in CT. That's fecking amazing. It's why I think we really do have a good chance in November. Once the middle gets engaged things start to change. I love the sobriquet of "irate moderates."
Perhaps we should invent "Public Excommunication" for self-proclaimed Democrats that do not represent the views of the national base.
We might as well, since even when we turn up at the polls, ink our fingers purple at vote nicely for the candidate of our choice, it's called a "purge."
Send money and guns to Hezbollah.
US forces arrest 60 in Baghdad
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. troops rounded up 60 suspected militants overnight in a security clampdown to stem violence in the capital and killed 26 insurgents in a rebel Sunni stronghold west of Baghdad.
The sweep through the southern Baghdad district of Arab Jabour targeted a suspected bomb-making cell linked to attacks across the city of seven million.
"The group has been reported to be planning and conducting training for future attacks, like the attack in Mahmudiya July 17 that killed 42," the U.S. military said in a statement.
Isn't it nice to see Lisa Myers reporting news? As a woman I can't abide watching the Barbie heads on cable tv. And the networks? Don't get me started . . .
catch you all laters
am off to Seend fête then going round to my Gran's a little later.
ciao
Morning bats!
File this under "not news".
ql, I was just thinking about you last night. SP is rolling over (both ways), holding his head up, and trying to figure out how to skootch across the floor. He spends a lot of time on his quilt.
Bob Kerrey is a loser. And always has been. Nobody cares what he does.
Hi, Ted.
Go fuck yourself.
so does this mean that whatever happens in 2006 that Lieberman/Kerrey will be running as "independent" Pres. and Vice Pres????
