I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Frist. Ugh.
Don't know if it's all that big an "honor" to be frist on a post about another 47 slaughtered in Iraq.
Is my omelette done yet, gotdamnit?!
.
Damn, that must be a record - reading the post, then still being frist and second.
But Chimpy said yesterday there was a trench, or a berm if you will
And so they've got a plan now, they've adapted. The enemy moves; we'll help the Iraqis move. So they're building a berm around the city to make it harder for people to come in with explosive devices, for example. They're working different neighborhoods inside of Baghdad to collect guns and bring people to detention. They've got a "clear, build and hold" strategy.
They've got a "clear, build and hold" strategy
It worked so well in Fallujah
thank you atrios.
Oh, believe me, Atrios. This Jessica person's breasts are more important than Iraq.
Ask Ann Althouse.
Can we call it a civil war yet?
I think that the 101st Keyboardists should go to Baghdad and help dig that moat.
Way late to the party, but what's with Ann Althouse's twisted booby fixation?
I really think we better have the Pope give these people a good talking to!
so which corner is this we have turned?
No fuckin' fair, dude.
The NYT caves in to Pony Blow.
They're working different neighborhoods inside of Baghdad to collect guns and bring people to detention. They've got a "clear, build and hold" strategy.
Ya knowah,
If that ain't working in Minneapolis (which has had a huge uptick in violence in the past year), I'm guessing that it won't work in Baghdad.
Just a hunch.
We're WINNING, damn it! If the goddamn LIBBURUL MEDIA would stop reporting fripperies like this and tell us how we're succeeding, we could wrap things up in Iraq in a week or two.
so which corner is this we have turned?
MC Escher's.
It's not a civil war. It's worse than a civil war.
Hell is a better descriptor.
If we can't stop this crap why do we have people there?
Can we call it a civil war yet?
Works for me.
I think "a huge fucking disaster" is also an apt description.
It's been over three years. By now almost all the schools in Iraq should have a fresh coat of paint. What else is there for us to do?
And so they've got a plan now, they've adapted. The enemy moves; we'll help the Iraqis move. So they're building a berm ... They're working.... They've got a plan ....
Follow the pronouns: They're building a berm, we're just helpin'
I guess this is what he meant by the Iraqis standind up as we stand down
They're working different neighborhoods inside of Baghdad to collect guns and bring people to detention
Does the NRA know about this?
Time to declare victory and get out.
If that ain't working in Minneapolis (which has had a huge uptick in violence in the past year), I'm guessing that it won't work in Baghdad.

The real goal: permanent bases. Mission accomplished.
Who cares about the rest of it? Let the Iraqis slaughter each other to their heart's content. It's not our problem. We've got our bases and our massive Imperial outpost, er, embassy.
Anyhoo, does Althouse know about Atlass Juggs?
Minneapolis is getting violent?
I did not know that.
Yeah, thank your federal govmint for that. Has been for a good decade, or so.
Cutting off LGA has been a disaster for this state.

No. It's still a spiral. Tom Friedman and Donald Rumsfeld will inform you if and when it becomes a civil war.

And those bases have car dealerships and burger kings!!
We are so cool.
Not. 
Notice that the liberal media fails to report that those are state-of-the-art checkpoints, and that the proposed ditch that the US forces are not-building will have all of the latest amenities; they are far, far more advanced than any checkpoints and ditches Iraqi citizens have ever used, or even imagined existed, before the Unitard™ decided to rescue them!
This is exactly the kind of technological advancement that Tom Friedman predicted!
Compare those to Saddam's nasty checkpoints and ditches, and then you ought to appreciate the unfairly-discredited truism that you can't make a Freedom Omelet without breaking a few hundred thousand Freedom Eggs!
Respect for the You Ess of A is rising exponentially in the Arab ditch.
I probably shouldn't blog whilst engaging in escapism. Reading the news fucks up my enjoyment of Star Wars (BTW, the Death Star just blew up--ONE explosion).

I think that by now it's widely accepted that the Death Star was stabbed in the back.
Buzz Bomb - I've often thought that the best response to "schools are being painted!" is, yes, at a cost of $10 billion per. If this president had told you in 2002 that he had a great plan to repaint the schools in Iraq at a cost of $10 billion each and a few American lives, would you have thought it was a good idea?

Yes, it's clear that no stub fighters could destroy such a powerful symbol of the Empire's benevolence and military might, so somebody in the Empire must've been in on the conspiracy to generate sympathy in the galaxy so Palpatine and Vader could, uh...forget it.

The "Hey, we're paintin' schools!" people use that as a way of pointing out what selfless, decent people we are. We didn't invade Iraq for our own selfish purposes, or for oil, or because Bush is a warmongering nutcase, or even for unfortunate but necessary geopolitical reasons, but because Americans are A Good And Noble People who want to help the less fortunate of the world and spread Democracy.

Still, the Affair of Jessica's Chest is small (no pun intended) compared to Ann Althouse's failure to understand the separation of powers in the constitution. My jaw dropped when I read that from her. She's a law professor who doesn't understand the foundations of the law of this land.

I think all bloggers should put up photos of their breasts.
This whole thing is so childish.
Actually, I'm all for exposed female breasts, from a sort of gender equality, sensible standpoint. A nipple is a nipple. Why should women be forced to hide theirs because there's extra fat behind them, while men can proudly strut about with their nipples exposed?
And come to think of it, since I live in a white-trashy town where a number of men go around shirtless even in moderate (~70º) temperatures, I'd like to see a little less exposed male breastage around here, thank you...

Via Wolcott, Helena Cobban at Just World News:
Kissinger and Friedman-- unhinged?
... I've been wondering what it has been about the events of the past few weeks that have driven these two guys toward the brink of insanity. I think it is this. I think that both of them-- Freidman and Kissinger-- have operated for so long on the basis of the never-spoken assumption of Israel's ability to dominate the strategic environment of the entire Near East that what Hizbullah was able to do to the IDF in Jebel Amel (south Lebanon) in the past two months has shaken their worldview(s) to their very foundations.
I mean, if you're a Tom Friedman, and you write a lot about the Middle East and care about it a lot, and are a liberal kind of a pro-Israeli, you can be "liberal" so long as Israel's domination of the whole Middle East (and the pro-Israeli narrative's domination of the US public discourse) both remain unchallenged. But when a ragtag bunch of Shiite militiamen in south Lebanon are capable of bloodying the nose of the great, heroic Israeli military-- why, then the rubber of the Friedmanesque "liberalism" smashes hard against the road of his pro-Israelism... and its the liberalism that gets stripped off, isn't it? (As well as a lot of Tom's attentiveness to veracity.)
And if you're Henry Kissinger, and you make gazillions of bucks from "consulting" with a whole range of governments in the Middle East-- Israel, Arab government, Turkey, various Central Asian petrocracies-- well, you can carry on servicing all those clients with equanimity so long as the assumption of the domination of the enture region by the US-Israeli alliance is never brought into question at all. But when it is? ... Well, that just has to be deeply shocking for the old guy; and so now you see Kissinger retreating into a tight little "Euro-heritage power" lager. (a.k.a. NATO, come to think of it.) ...
that sounds more like a draw
Maybe. But I've never that big of a fan of the DKs, and I was at an age where just scoring a date with a really cute girl did wonders for my self-esteem.

Saw the Pixies a few years ago on their reunion tour. I had waited the latter half of my life for that moment, and they didn't let me down.
But, of course, they're done...again. I guess seeing Frank Black doing half-assed covers will have to suffice for now.
So where's the cock and bull(dog) pictures?
I've yet to shoot the bulldog, but I will. I'm going back to my friend's in the next hour or so to shoot some pics of the rooster on his perch (he settles there in the evening).
The bulldog is cute as hell, though.
Mrs. Wormer does a hilarious bit as this drunken old tart falling off a barstool at some dive bar.
According to IMDB, Verna Bloom was on "The West Wing" a couple of years back.
Played a character named "Molly Lapham"...
Okay then, I'll be patient.
I've yet to shoot the bulldog, but I will.
DON'T SHOOT OLD YELLER!
The reprints that DC has done up to now are b&w, if you can believe it.
Didn't stop me from buying them, of course.
Me, neither!
Frankly, I'm a little nervous about them doing a color reprint... I don't really like the current way comics are colored, and would hate to see that sort of coloring applied to these. The trade paperback version of Steranko's "Nick Fury" stories is a case in point.
Flat primaries, or nothing!!!
Waddaya wanna bet Haliburton bills us for importing dirt to dig the trench?
DON'T SHOOT OLD YELLER!
SHANE! COME BACK, SHANE!!!
So where's the cock and bull(dog) pictures?

With so much discussion of perky breasts, it's only fair that there be a penis story for the ladies... and Jeff Goldstein.
MCKEESPORT, Pa. --A woman pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in connection with a bizarre incident in February that resulted in a fake penis being microwaved at a convenience store.

dave™©,
I'm sure that I've mentioned my friend, Ryan Kelly to you. He does a lot of that stuff, and now he's got a blog with his DC (and various other) stuff on it.
Saw the Pixies a few years ago on their reunion tour. I had waited the latter half of my life for that moment, and they didn't let me down.
I felt much the same way about seeing Bauhaus on their reunion tour.
One band I wish had done a reunion tour (and now, sadly, never will): the Clash.
Jebus, Todd, those kiddens are cute.
As are the Dogz and Sam.
OT - kittens update. Cheerier than death in Iraq, though not so arousing as tits.
I like kittens.

re/ reunion tours- I saw the Buzzcocks this summer in a small(ish) club.
Sounded great-looked their age. And happy.
Hey Zap
I'm trying to OD y'all on Curly, today... just gonna keep on keepin' on.

So I was looking for a recent picture of Verna "Mrs. Wormer" Bloom...
Turns out she's really Altmouse!
This won't be happening once the freedom trench is finished.

Paul,
I sooooooo wanted to go to that show at the Triple Rock. But, it was in the midst of my unemployment.
How was it??
Hey, she has BOOBS!
And the way she's sticking them out there for the whole world to see... shocking! SHOCKING!!!

George Allen has proposed to change the name of tater tots in the Senate dining hall to just that and he's also proposing multi racial salads.
So, this war has already lasted longer than WWI, or almost, right? and we're just getting to trenches, that they started with.
Things are going swimmingly in Iraq

You're ignoring the 'mine shaft gap'!

Checkpoints around Baghdad? Is that so the US troops can take better aim at Italian journalists?
teh Trench Connection?

Way longer than US involvement. We entered late.
BTW, trench warfare was employed during our Civil War...

Zap--it was pretty dang good. Sold out which at 3 Rock is packed. Older crowd (cough) but very good vibe.
They played everything off Singles Going Steady plus maybe 5 songs off the new album.
I've been been enjoying your blog lately. Glad you came back!

I believe this has lasted longer, cost more and a far larger tonnage of weapons have been dropped than WWII. Oh yeah and we found the wmds in germany.

Orianna Fallaci died today.
A coincidence? I think not!!!!

They rocked this small town too. I still have the poster.
One of my ex's is still pissed that some car company used "What Do I Get?" in a commercial.
It's sort of a song about being gay; so I don't know how that'll move cars.
Orianna Fallaci died today.
Uh, not today, Screwtop Boy.
Sorry to go completely off-topic, and in a drive-by, but when I read about Althouse and The Photograph of the Adult Woman (Not In A Burqa), all I can think is:
"And journalists are worried about blogging replacing them?"
At least journalists manage to confine that kind of gossip to bars and campaign busses and books nobody every reads.
I mean: Wow. Just how stupid and petty can it get?
It's hard capturing that damned bulldog pup on camera. He waddles like crazy and won't stay still.
He is cute, though.
"They rocked this small town too. I still have the poster."
Poster? Nice--but have you ever listened to a more annoying opening act?
What the Democrats should be saying...
Dear Bush administration,
Shit, or get off the pot.
If this really is WW III, make the fucking commitment required to win it. FDR wasn't content to go into WW II with "the army you have". Under his administration, military forces were built up with a draft to satisfy the need. If Iraq is so fucking important, why aren't you doing the same?
It's sort of a song about being gay; so I don't know how that'll move cars.
Zap Rowsdower, Soonly Wed
Yeah, it bummed me out for a little while when I saw Take A Walk On The Wild Side used in a scooter commercial. But then I thought the same thing.
Did Michigan win today? God, I'm bad. I don't watch...I don't even care these days.
So shoot me.
Paul,
I'm gonna be in the old 'hood tomorrow; watching the Viqueens w/ me Dad. They moved over by that graveyard off of Lyndale. I guess that's Windom...
WWI: Sept 1914- November 1918?
Iraq, March 2003-(Sept. '06)>>?
I think we'll pass that mark
Poster? Nice--but have you ever listened to a more annoying opening act?
Paul, no not that one
Openers here (at Emo's) were The Applicators and East Side Suicides. I've heard much worse.

Dozens of corpses found as US pledges more troops for Baghdad
Yeah, we're sending 3 more guys.
Once the freedom trench is completed there will be the celebration. Shrub will call it Kristallnacht.
Others will define it thus:
Dr. Walter H. Pehle, a historian specializing in modern Germany (United States), has argued that the direct translation should be unacceptable because its original intent was cynically propagandizing the violence into something metaphorically holding "sparkle and gleam" for Germany (United States). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kri...i/

Robert Greenwald on CNBC
Robert Greenwald, who can be seen in the above YouTube of his interview on CNBC’s Power Lunch, has a fantastic documentary coming out on war profiteering: Iraq for Sale - The War Profiteers. Readers in the DC area will be interested to know that a press conference will be held for the film on Monday, September 18th, hosted with Sen. Byron Dorgan in the Dirkson Office Building at 11:00 am ET. This is an issue that deserves a whole lot more sunshine and needs much, much more accountability. (If you would like to attend a screening — or host one yourself — you can find information here onhow to do just that.)

In the context of the lecture, the Pope may well have been right.
But he's not a Cardinal lecturing on theology any more. He's the Pope.
I think he just figured that out.

Yes we were all shocked at how the most powerful military in the world was used with such little effect. Saddam was right we would be fighting his war in the end and that we would lose when we did.

A friend of mine used to maintain that the Buzzcocks were the best band to listen to when getting over a breakup. Exhibit A being the above song, and most of the rest of "Singles Going Steady".
It only goes to show. If a Republican want to get elected he's gotta act like a Democrat.
Gov. to Sign Hang-Up-and-Drive Bill
Legislation banning the use of hand-held cellphones while driving goes into effect in 2008.
By Nancy Vogel, Times Staff Writer
September 15, 2006
SACRAMENTO — California will become the fourth state in the country to ban motorists from holding cellphones while driving under legislation Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he will sign into law today.
The governor's office said Thursday that the signing will take place in Oakland, ending a five-year campaign by Sen. Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto) to outlaw one of the most common distractions of California drivers.

up next a commercial for a toyota using "fuck me deaD" by the forgotten rebels
or "Argh fuck kill" by dayglo abortions
well there was a commercial I saw with "why can't i touch it"
Makes me glad I don't watch teevee.
I'd like to see a car commercial that was set to "DOA". Or maybe "The Last Kiss"...
Or maybe a beer commercial that used "Too Drunk to Fuck" or "Bottled Violence"...
