Cool!
Bush presidency: FIERY WRECK!
I like that "And so do we!" thing he does. Did Lamont invent that?
but...but...but I though Joe was Bush's Favorite Democrat™!
I like the context!
Any way to expand it to other Hatfield-McCoy like groups?
Turncoat. How appropriate. And funny.
I like his ads.
The fact that the ad works proves that the anti-Semitic internets are conspiring against Lieberman.
not sure i like it so much. i would be more specific about things Joe does that are bad.
C'est excellent.
Nice, but no boobs.
EXCELLENT!!!Love his ads.
You should check out the radio ads, too.
It would have been funnier if the two fans were sitting on Lieberman--in a "sitting on Lieberman" kind of way.
Go Ned!

Hmmmm. Much better than the Granholm/DeVos being slammed at Michigeese and Michiganders day in and day out.
I like that "And so do we!" thing he does. Did Lamont invent that?
He may have stolen it from the Shake-N-Bake people, but the truth is lost to history.
Nice, but no boobs.
The next ad will feature Lieberman.
An ad that truly unites people of all stripes.
How much did he pay res for the "blah, blah, blah?"
She does have that copyrighted, doesn't she?
I bet Joe wishes he and Bush had followed the "no flirting!" rule...
Hello, I'm Dick Devos, and this is me trying to smile.

Legislation supporting Bush would subject members of Congress to war crimes prosecution.

Jordan Paust, Professor of Law at the University of Houston warns Congress that to write legislation that tampers with due process rights of prisoners would subject members of Congress itself to a violation of the Hague Convention, which is itself a war crime.
Another provision of treaty-based laws of war that also reflects customary international law is quite relevant in this regard. It is set forth in Article 23(h) of the Annex to the 1907 Hague Convention No. IV Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land, which reads: "it is especially forbidden ... [t]o declare abolished, suspended, or inadmissible in a court of law the rights ... of the nationals of the hostile party." Similarly, as part of the law of war, a violation of the Hague Convention is a war crime.
Members of Congress are thus on notice that minimum due process guarantees under customary international law must not be denied when Congress attempts to articulate what forms of procedure a military commission should adopt. If members participate in a plan to do so or are complicit in the deprivation of minimum due process guarantees under customary international law incorporated by reference in common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions or any other rights or protections under common Article 3 (e.g., concerning the right to humane treatment even at the hands of CIA interrogators), they would be participating in the denial of rights, protections, and duties under Geneva law. Such denials are war crimes.
Its hot here. I may have to turn on the A/C.
Impressive...!

Man, that is so annoying when they thank Allah after a touchdown...
Excellent ad! I think the "turncoat" meme is likely to be very potent against Lieberman -- everybody in CT (and NYC metro) instantly understands how it connects to Joe. It sort of crystallizes what many people know or suspect about Joe even if they haven't heard it articulated that bluntly yet.
One thing I love about Ned (aside from being right on all the most important issues of the day) is that he knows how to throw a punch.
Also, Joe's been whining about Ned's campaign being "negative" for so long (even when it clearly wasn't) that it's hard to see how he's going to differentiate his whining (you know it's coming) this time around.
Go Ned!

Three letters explain how former Clinton attack dog Lanny Davis scored an Air Force One ride to Washington after President Bush's recent Yale University commencement speech: DKE (Delta Kappa Epsilon), the fraternity Davis and Bush joined as Yale undergrads. The duo chatted for a long time on the ride home, mostly about the old days, like the time Bush hazed DKE recruit Davis. The lawyer tells us that he faced the normal five-hour hazing, ending with him standing beside a DKE brand shoved in a vat of hot coals. At this point, Bush and the others blindfolded Davis and asked him to lift his shirt. He did. Then Davis felt it: the hot sizzle of skin. But it was only a cigarette. "They really psyched me out," he says.

Two polls in the last two weeks have it within the margin of error, and I doubt all the Rebubs who now tell posters they're voting for JoMo (Shlessinger is consistently under ten per cent) will turn out for Lieberman. That said, complacency is still a bad thing

Latest poll is virtually a dead heat.

The more Republicans who fluff up his numbers today, the more they sink him in November like 99 Lead Balloons when it becomes clear who his real supporters are.

Hi all. I asked last night--has anyone heard from Incog? He's being more mysterious than usual, not responding, I hope he's not mad at me
I think the crowd behind Lamont needs to get bigger and bigger with each new spot until it's an overhead long shot of a huge crowd in a field...so many supporters behind him you can't even count them all!

There was a feature in Sterio Review where the theme was Ten Artists I Hate. Lester Bangs described Bowie as "singing like an electric eel in a microwave." Simels said something similar. There was anti-Bowie sentiment at the time, mid 70s.

Largest known dwarf planet named Eris
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060...sc/
dwarf_planet
LOS ANGELES - A distant, icy rock whose discovery shook up the solar system and led to Pluto's planetary demise has been given a name: Eris.
The christening of Eris, named after the Greek goddess of chaos and strife, was announced by the International Astronomical Union on Wednesday. Weeks earlier, the professional astronomers' group stripped Pluto of its planethood under new controversial guidelines.
Since its discovery last year, Eris, which had been known as 2003 UB313, ignited a debate about what constitutes a planet.
Astronomers were split over how to classify the object because there was no universal definition. Some argued it should be welcomed as the 10th planet since it was larger than Pluto, but others felt Pluto was not a full-fledged planet.
After much bickering, astronomers last month voted to shrink the solar system to eight planets, downgrading Pluto to a "dwarf planet," a category that also includes Eris and the asteroid Ceres.
Eris' discoverer, Michael Brown of the California Institute of Technology, said the name was an obvious choice, calling it "too perfect to resist."
In mythology, Eris caused a quarrel among goddesses that sparked the Trojan War. In real life, Eris forced scientists to define a planet that eventually led to Pluto getting the boot. Soon after Pluto's dismissal from the planet club, hundreds of scientists circulated a petition protesting the decision.
Eris' moon also received a formal name: Dysnomia, the daughter of Eris known as the spirit of lawlessness.

There'a a rooster who has made our neighborhood his home. For the last two months. For the last four nights, he has slept in the front window cove of my friend's house - I'm assuming because he's being chased by predators and his feathers are the color of the bricks on her house.
It's pretty cool. The guys are trying to get a net from the zoo to capture him and then give him to their farm animals exhibition, where he will be cared for. It's hard for the neighbors to care for him as Winter approaches, and it's going to be cold next week.

I had the opportunity this afternoon to be part of a relatively small group who heard President Bush talk, extemporaneously, for around forty minutes. It was an absolutely riveting experience. It was the best I've ever seen him. Not only that; it may have been the best I've ever seen any politician.

Lamont: seniors are convinced that Joe saved Connecticut, they're the focal point right now. Republicans will just do what they're told, which will be vote for Lying Joe; Dems are much more independent. The campaign is still in the voter ID phase, narrowing ranges and identifying targets for live canvassing, which actually started today. ned, unlike Joe, or W, learns as he goes. It's very interesting to watch the strategy assume shape and meaning from day to day from my position in a folding chair at a card table behind a phone at the HQ in New London. We are finishing up the info-gathering and already in change-the-minds mode, as you can see form this latest ad, a very civilized take on a Republican, even Rovian technique. Take the candidates strength, in Joe's case "independence", frame it properly (turncoat) and couch it in everyday Americanese, Northeast dialect (Red Sox-Yankees). I don't hear anybody calling Lamont stupid, and I'm also unfamiliar with anybody calling Joe smart. We're going to win, going away.

I went back and read the Washington Post story of how the administration handled Iraq, the Aftermath.
The decision to send the loyal and the willing instead of the best and the brightest is now regarded by many people involved in the 3 1/2 -year effort to stabilize and rebuild Iraq as one of the Bush administration's gravest errors. Many of those selected because of their political fidelity spent their time trying to impose a conservative agenda on the postwar occupation that sidetracked more important reconstruction efforts and squandered goodwill among the Iraqi people, according to many people who participated in the reconstruction effort.
I would say there are tens of thousands of who died as a direct result these actions. No wonder they continue to live in fantasy land, if they ever faced up to the realty of their actions they'd have spend the rest of their lives trying to atone. Or commit suicide.

I fucking hate "The African Queen." Bogart is uninteresting and Katherine Hepburn is stiff and without any appeal whatsoever. She was born old. She was great in the film version of O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night" because she played a crazy hateful vain old bitch, and very well too. But I've never seen anything like character or talent in her. Or Bogie either for that matter. Sorry to be so contrary, but I'm sick to death of women and their issues, politics generally, and the "culture" that's being shoved down our throats. Fuck it all.

Alcohol use helps boost income: study
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/
2006...ol_060914140645
WASHINGTON (AFP) - People who consume alcohol earn significantly more at their jobs than non-drinkers, according to a US study that highlighted "social capital" gained from drinking.
The study published in the Journal of Labor Research Thursday concluded that drinkers earn 10 to 14 percent more than teetotalers, and that men who drink socially bring home an additional seven percent in pay.
"Social drinking builds social capital," said Edward Stringham, an economics professor at San Jose State University and co-author of the study with fellow researcher Bethany Peters.
"Social drinkers are out networking, building relationships, and adding contacts to their BlackBerries that result in bigger paychecks."
The authors acknowledged their study, funded by the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank, contradicted research released in 2000 by the Harvard School of Public Health.

Viceroy Bremmer even included a law that Iraqi farmers could not plant seeds from their own fields to make a better market for the ADMs of the world.
the really interesting proviso is the one that guarantees all in perpetuity. Even if the Iraqi people want to increase the corporate tax rate, or change the copyright law, even if they caucus and write a whole new constitution and form a new government - the Coalition Provisional Authority rules still are the law of Iraq. Word without end, amen.

Ex-FBI Agent: Harsh Interrogation Doesn't Work
ABC News Consultant Jack Cloonan Says Aggressive Interrogation Isn't Always the Most Effective Method
Sept. 16, 2006 -- - Amid a debate between President Bush and bipartisan members of Congress over how harshly to question terror detainees, a former FBI agent said some of the most aggressive interrogation techniques in dispute are rarely effective anyway.
"Generally speaking, those don't work," said Jack Cloonan, a former FBI agent and an ABC News consultant.

The reason the Occupation of Iraq has Failed and is Rampantly Corrupt:
But before they could go to Baghdad, they had to get past Jim O'Beirne's office in the Pentagon.
To pass muster with O'Beirne, a political appointee who screens prospective political appointees for Defense Department posts, applicants didn't need to be experts in the Middle East or in post-conflict reconstruction. What they needed to be was a member of the Republican Party.
They only hired Republicans.
Sometimes I get the feeling that conservatives are "chasing the dragon" on this fear-high they seem to be addicted to.
Bush's recent blahing about "complacency", his jittery shouting about how he wants to inflict more torture, the need to double-up on scary words: "Nazi" alone isn't getting their boners up - it's gotta be "Islamo-nazis" and "baatho-fascio-terror-islamist-oids-from-the-

Speaking of turncoats, did you ever get Markos to delete your fucking account?
No independent voter is going to relate to the ad, as loyalty to the Democrat Party is not a concern of theirs.
But Liebermans loyalty to nothing other than getting re-elected should be their concern.

...has anybody ever read the original play Casablanca is based on --Everybody Comes to Ricks?
Is it even actually published somewhere?
It was published, but never produced. I've got a book called "Casablanca - Behind the Scenes" - that covers the play pretty well. It pretty much follows the same storyline, except the Ingrid Bergman character is named "Lois" and Renault (named Rinaldo here) knows about the plan to sell the letters of transit to Laszlo and convinces Rick "Lois" is leading him on. Also, at the end, Rick surrenders to Rinaldo and the German instead of getting away.
The book also covers all the transmutations the shooting script went through. It's by a guy named Harlan Lebo, and my lovely wife got it for me cheap at a second-hand bookstore.

My family does worry
We have homes, and are safe and warm and dry, and we have plenty of food, and we have clothes, and all of the things we really need, and lots of things we don't. We worry, though about the others, the ones who don't have those things. We help when we can, and I don't mean by paying taxes, that's just automatic, and isn't voluntary.
No, we try to help people who we know need help, and we try to help people we don't know, and will never meet, but we know that they need help anyway. We get sad, because no matter how much we care, and how much we give, it's not enough. We are happy that what we do helps somebody, a little, for at least a little while, but we want our society to be one where nobody ever has to depend on our good will and charity. We will still help, but we would like for what we do to be extra, not just scraping by, for the people who need it.
Babies are born, and can't support themselves, and people get old, and sick, and frail, or have accidents, and Lord knows there are floods and hurricanes and fires, and car wrecks, and all kinds of things that can wipe out our savings in a flash. So maybe we should all just be willing to help a little bit more, and do it graciously, without making people feels ashamed for needing the help.
I am retired, and sometimes, when I first wake up, it takes an hour or more for the pain in my back and neck to settle down enough for me to function. I am grateful that I don't have to drag myself to work anyway. I realize, though, that there are people who hurt just as much as me, and maybe more, but they still have to somehow find the strength to get to a minimum wage job, and even though they work hard, they are still poor.
To work, while in pain, and still be in poverty is a shame and a disgrace in this country. Too many people have to, though. Too many have to work long hours, for Little pay, and when their kids get into a little trouble, they are denounced as being uncaring, bad parents. If we in this country can care about such trivia as who wins the next round on one of the new shows, or whether the latest missing blond has been found, then surely we can summon the energy to care about our brothers and sisters, and be open handed and generous to those who need it.
One of the most important things we can do, as well, is to vote for Democrats, for progressive Democrats, who can level the playing field more, and get us out of this immoral war, and begin to rebuild and heal our own country. They money we sign away to Halliburton could be much better spent on getting America back to health, and then helping the rest of the world, instead of attacking it.

'Oreo' Rises Again: Cardin Staffer Sacked In Blog Flap
Saturday, September 16, 2006
WBAL Radio as reported by Leonard Roberts and Robert Lang
A blog has apparently led to the firing of a staffer in the Ben Cardin for Senate campaign.
According to the Washington Times Insider Politics blog, a person labeling herself the 'Persuasionatrix' wrote that she was on the staff of a high profile, contested Senate campaign and was based in Baltimore.
Persuasionatrix wrote that staffers should pose holding Oreo brand cookies under the caption 'devouring the competition.'
Cardin, the ten-term white Congressman from the Baltimore area, is the Democratic candidate facing black Lieutenant Governor and Republican candidate Michael Steele. . . .
The Cardin staffer also allegedly posted statements on her blog about not being able to fire a subordinate whose performance was inadequate because the junior worker was black.
We've got to get on top of this meme before it sticks.

As more and more of O'Beirne's hires arrived in the Green Zone, the CPA's headquarters in Saddam Hussein's marble-walled former Republican Palace felt like a campaign war room. Bumper stickers and mouse pads praising President Bush were standard desk decorations. Other than military uniforms and "Operation Iraqi Freedom" garb, "Bush-Cheney 2004" T-shirts were among the most common pieces of clothing.
"I'm not here for the Iraqis," one worker noted to a reporter over lunch. "I'm here for George Bush."

Feminism was all very well and good when white male upper-class philosophers tried to imagine the various failures that would result from a female-dominated fantasy world, or speculated at the edges of reason on regarding women as their equal, but really since being viciously taken over by women it became entirely too personal. Women should trust an objective outsider and the market to solve their problems, just like various third world victims of the World Bank.

aveman, a 60-year-old social worker, was largely unknown among international health experts, but he had connections. He had been the community health director for the former Republican governor of Michigan, John Engler, who recommended him to Paul D. Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense.
Haveman was well-traveled, but most of his overseas trips were in his capacity as a director of International Aid, a faith-based relief organization that provided health care while promoting Christianity in the developing world. Before his stint in government, Haveman ran a large Christian adoption agency in Michigan that urged pregnant women not to have abortions.
Haveman replaced Frederick M. Burkle Jr., a physician with a master's degree in public health and postgraduate degrees from Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and the University of California at Berkeley. Burkle taught at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, where he specialized in disaster-response issues, and he was a deputy assistant administrator at the U.S. Agency for International Development, which sent him to Baghdad immediately after the war.
He had worked in Kosovo and Somalia and in northern Iraq after the Persian Gulf War. A USAID colleague called him the "single most talented and experienced post-conflict health specialist working for the United States government."
But a week after Baghdad's liberation, Burkle was informed he was being replaced. A senior official at USAID sent Burkle an e-mail saying the White House wanted a "loyalist" in the job. Burkle had a wall of degrees, but he didn't have a picture with the president.

He urged the Health Ministry to mount an anti-smoking campaign, and he assigned an American from the CPA team -- who turned out to be a closet smoker himself -- to lead the public education effort. Several members of Haveman's staff noted wryly that Iraqis faced far greater dangers in their daily lives than tobacco. The CPA's limited resources, they argued, would be better used raising awareness about how to prevent childhood diarrhea and other fatal maladies.
Haveman didn't like the idea that medical care in Iraq was free. He figured Iraqis should pay a small fee every time they saw a doctor. He also decided to allocate almost all of the Health Ministry's $793 million share of U.S. reconstruction funds to renovating maternity hospitals and building new community medical clinics. His intention, he said, was "to shift the mind-set of the Iraqis that you don't get health care unless you go to a hospital."

The thing that gets me about Applebee's is, any town that is large enough to have one (and I think they want 50,000 or so to make it worth their while) has to have at least a couple of locally owned restaurants where you can get the same greasy, non-threatening white boy food as Applebee's, only freshly prepared.
If I want a frozen entree, I can go to the store and get a Stouffer's (probably the same brand Applebee's is serving) for a lot less... less than tofu, even!

When the president speaks to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, he plans to carry a strong message, "based upon hope, and my belief that the civilized world must stand with moderate, reformist-minded people and help them realize their dreams.
"I believe that's the call of the 21st century," Bush told reporters Friday.

the amazing thing is bernie was on the tube last week as some sort of expert on whatever...the chutzpah is infinite:
"Kerik authorized the formation of a hundred-man Iraqi police paramilitary unit to pursue criminal syndicates that had formed since the war, and he often joined the group on nighttime raids, departing the Green Zone at midnight and returning at dawn, in time to attend Bremer's senior staff meeting, where he would crack a few jokes, describe the night's adventures and read off the latest crime statistics prepared by an aide. The unit did bust a few kidnapping gangs and car-theft rings, generating a stream of positive news stories that Kerik basked in and Bremer applauded. But the all-nighters meant Kerik wasn't around to supervise the Interior Ministry during the day. He was sleeping."
Another good band name might be "Monica's Thong"

Interesting point -- I have a priest friend in San Jaoquin (actually in Bakersfield) who teaches at the university & used to assist in this guy's parish (although he himself is canonicallly resident in Los Angeles) -- he is so disgusted with the church there that he doesn't attend services anywhere any more -- he is eager for the Bishop to lead the diocese out of The Episcopal Church so he can begin a mission to the real Episcopalians (which I think may be happening sooner than some people think)

That door has always been screwy so I leave another window that's easier to climb into unlocked.

September
The goldenrod is yellow, The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes Are curing in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges haunt their harvest, In every meadow's nook;
And asters by the brookside Make asters in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning The grapes' sweet odore rise;
At noon the roads all flutter With yellow butterflies.
By all those lovely tokens September days are here,
With summer's best of weather, And autumn's best of cheer.

And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

I really need to learn the joy of baking. I got cooking down pretty good, but never bake.
Well, with a stove, that is.

And even though I am no great fan of the religious right (see Schiavo, Terry) at least one knows where they (ostensibly) stand: hate the sin, love the sinner. Whereas many progressives, it seems to me, have inverted that bromide entirely. Which is to say, judging by my recent experiences in dealing with these paragons to tolerance and “diversity”, it is clear that many on the political left will pretend to love the “sin” (they believe doing so marks them as compassionate and nuanced and provides them the moral high-ground from which to justify their every attempt to deploy an ends-justifies-the-means form of social advocacy), even while they secretly hate the sinner. Which is evident every time an individual for whose “kind” they ostentatiously agitate—be it an individual homosexual or black or Hispanic—presumes to stray from the ideological plantation they have so carefully landscaped, and over which they have appointed themselves masters.
NTodd, the doctors can't find anything wrong but it's real for him.
I get that. Mom experienced chronic pain my entire life, and Stef did our entire marriage (not counting the pain I caused). Thankfully Mom's last months were actually quite good because she'd found a good pain manager.
Draco needs to see a doctor again. Giving up and commenting on a blog doesn't buy him anything.
Once upon a time, I wrote a long Christmas-themed piece to The Night Before Christmas format. It was called Christmas in the Hood and it was all about a cracker cop raiding someone and Rodney Kinging him on Christmas Eve. Instead of reindeer, he brought K-9s and they were named Gingrich, Limbaugh, etc. It was highly un-pc but funny as hell. I can't even remember how it went now, just the storyline. And I did give it a happy ending...the girlfriend had a hogleg J stashed in her hairdo, so after the cracker cop left, they were still able to have a festive holiday.

Shaw,
Agreed. Let's you and I beat up dayphne.
Spinach from a large California-based farming operation has been tentatively linked to a widening bacterial outbreak that so far has caused one death and sickened 93 people in 20 states, health officials said Friday.
One day after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended against eating any fresh, bagged spinach because of the E. coli outbreak, Natural Selection Foods of San Juan Bautista, Calif., issued a voluntary recall of all its packaged products containing the fresh greens. The company, which bills itself as the largest grower and shipper of organic produce in North America, also operates under the name Earthbound Farm.
I've been buying locally-grown spinach, but I have bought that brand.
Organic is better, unless it kills you or makes you sick.
And then it's not better.
I'm not really sure, but from watching my wife, I think you use the oven thingie when you bakes stuff.
'S true, but baking requires a finer hand than roasting.
Only two more years to the next Democratic electoral loss.
Good grief.

Scarce just put up a very good YouTube clip of Markos from last night’s NOW special on "Blog the Vote."

At the very end of the clip there are several shots of the FDL caucus at Yearly Kos, and many of our favorites can be seen. See how many you can spot.

Measuring the Collapse of Traditional States

The latest World Bank study on failed and failing states (now called "fragile states") shows just how rapidly the global situation is deteriorating. As reported in the Washington Post by Karen DeYoung, the number of states that could provide logistical bases and ungoverned spaces for terrorists, transnational criminal organizations and other armed non-state groups has jumped from 17 in 2003 to 26 this year.

Yep, I can't wait for these nutcases to be thrown out of office. I voted in WA states primary yesterday even though all but one Democrat ran unopposed. The Supreme Court justices and one appellate judge were the ones I really voted for. There was a bunch of Republican sponsored judges that were really nutty running that I could not see being appointed.

Sadly, I doubt they need any more practice.

Tearful Clinton Escorts Richards' Casket
Sep 16, 6:50 PM (ET)
By APRIL CASTRO
(AP) Former President Bill Clinton, left, speaks during a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda for former...
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Former President Clinton tearfully escorted a flag-draped casket Saturday carrying former Gov. Ann Richards into the state Capitol, where she will spend the next two days lying in state before her funeral and burial.
Clinton delivered poignant and at times funny recollections of the woman he called "spontaneous, unedited, earthy, hilarious."
He told about 50 of her close friends and family about a lunch he once shared in New York with Richards and a group that included comedians Billy Crystal and Robin Williams.
"I thought to myself, I bet this is the only time in their entire lives that Billy Crystal and Robin Williams are the second and third funniest people at the table," he said, drawing chuckles from misty-eyed family members.

I think the only order currently in the South is the Southern Proivince of the Community of St. Mary in Tennessee -- there used to be some Augustinian friars in Picayune, Mississippi, but they joined the Orthodox Church in America after General Convention approved the ordination of women.

Ok, here's a trivia question for you. No using Google.
What's a spermologer?
Hellkitty, there are some excellent bits of wisdom couched in fiction. One of the novels I have always enjoyed is HENDERSON the RAIN KING by Saul Bellow. Henderson - the hero- is discussing with the wise man he has found in Africa his desire to go to medical school, but he is too old. The witch doctor, in a monumental feat of logic replies, "Yes, it is true. It will take four years and you will be 33 when you are done. But how old will you be in four years if you do not go?"
(or something like that. Wise words though)

I have actually had that conversation with my own wise man/mentor at my University. It was suggested by another professor that I skip the MA and go straight to a PhD. program. Mentor suggested I take a close look at what I would have on the other end, and what my ultimate goal is. Although I am fascinated by medical ethics and the issue of physician assisted suicide (my Capstone project)I am not sure that I can make the 7year committment to a program (husband is 71). I should take my research and write a book as I have some very interesting ideas about national health care that are worth writing about.
BTW, I see the tedious moron impersonating Altmouse and Mrs. Ernest T. Bass have both decided that the "tits" kerfuffle is now "tiresome."
Did they come to that conclusion before or after someone reminded them of that picture of Atlas Jugs shoving her mammaries into Ernie's face?

Jordan Paust, Professor of Law at the University of Houston warns Congress that to write legislation that tampers with due process rights of prisoners would subject members of Congress itself to a violation of the Hague Convention, which is itself a war crime.
And the "law and order" right wing, who publicly freak out every time the Constitution is rigidly applied, screaming that some hoodlum got off on a technicality, and because of it, we're all going to die, are now scrambling to scribble in as many technicalities as they possibly can into the margins of that document.

When Fr William & I saw Stripes ages ago we were rolling on the floor laughing at this exchange:
Russell Ziskey: You could join a monastery.
John Winger: Did you ever see a monk get wildly fucked by some teenage girls?
Russell Ziskey: Never.
John Winger: So much for the monastery.
Next question:
Name Don Quixote's horse.

And as for expensive antibiotics, I recommend Chartreuse over Benedictine (for internal use only)
& Good night!
Whom did Bucephalos belong to?
I saw "Man of La Mancha' on Broadway as a child, and it made a deep impression.
that's easy, Alexander the Great
Rocinante
Man, you dudes are all over the Quixote.
See you upstairs.

Ok, maybe so. Who owned the horse Toes, and why was he given that name?
"really, how could you not want to have them all assembled in one place, and have them hit a fucking reef, and have them all die slow miserable deaths from drowning and being eaten by sharks?"
Hey, I thought they were the sharks.
I think it's beginning to dawn in the tiny minds of our Neaderthal Congresscritters that any messing with or "reinterpretation" of existing treaties can and will be labeled a war crime, in and of itself.

Sorry, ABC=dead to me.
as a red sox fan I must say that this video sucks. But, it makes a good point, that even us Red Sox fans and ugh.. Yankee fans, can agree on one thing, Joe must go.
But, If I were the red sox fan i would slug the yankee fan. lol
If there is a God and there's life one would hope that he/she/it would lay some enlightenment on people.
HoneyBearKelly
The difficulty with that is, the only person who can lay some enlightenment on you, is you. Why would you cherish the deluded expectation that it comes from anywhere or anyone outside yourself? God/life are one and the same.
Kos was on a David Brancaccio Now segment about liberal bloggers but there was no mention of Atrios. Doesn't he move in PBS circles?

Atrios was a guest on AAR's Majority Report for a long segment last night...
I'd like to help - Draco is a favorite of mine.
Vicki, I intend to send Daimoku to Draco--Nam myoho renge kyo. You can too, should you feel so inclined. I just chant it, out loud, over and over, while focusing my mind on Draco's healing. I generally heal myself as well in the process, because the Dharma is called excellent medicine.

Hey! Europe is meeting with Iran and without us! WE'RE the super-de-duper super power on earth. How dare they meet and decide stuff without the Decidererer there to grope some chancellor!

And in Cuba, no less! And Hugo Chavez is there, too. This is way cool.
elroon, dare we suggest that our Deciderrrer is sinking into irrrelevencee?
Just what I predicted when he called the U.N. 'irrelevant.'
This ad is weak. Here's why: Everybody already knows that Lieberman claims to be a Democrat but is running as an indepedent. That's not advancing Lamont's cause. That's spending a lot money just to tread water.
Even so, I'm beginning to think he has a better chance of winning than I originally figured. Jimmy Carter, a conservative Democrat whose honesty is not in doubt, came right out and said that Joe Lieberman is no longer fit for the job. That stuff's going to impress exactly the voters we need to win. Like the ones Lamont undoubtedly alienated by consorting with Al Sharpton, whom you young 'uns may not realize has an incredibly shady and offensive past.
The question is: Is the Lamont campaign going to ballyhoo it, or ignore it.
Oh, shit. They're liberals. The way usually figure it, if an argument or strategy is good enough to make them happy then it must be golden.
Ah, the great Bosox/Yankees divide. Very Connecticut, that ad.
Y'know, these threads always prove that some people who are very knowledgeable about politics and policy do not understand the first damn thing about political communication, especially when you're communicating with people who just aren't into politics as much as you are.
In other words, this is a good ad because the barely-politically-aware will understand it. Plus it smacks down Lieberman without that scary music / voice combo found in so many negative ads.
But it's stuff they already understand and what we need are the voters WHO THINK THEY'VE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS FOR LIEBERMAN AND NEED A NEW REASON TO VOTE FOR LAMONT.
I don't know if anybody's still paying attention to this thread but, for someone whe's leaning towards Lieberman, name one thing in this ad that's going to change their mind that they haven't heard alrleady.
Why is it that, after decades of watching our political status steadily degrade, so many liberals still have no concept of the importance of getting people who don't think like we do to vote Democratic anyhow and that that obviously means using ads that appeal to them and not us?
And, BTW, baseball is a minority interests even in CT. Most people really dont' care.
This Lamont ad is silly. It's so partisan! He is obviously jealous of Joe Lieberman. Look, a ball of twine!
atrios, where are you?
your absence suspiciously coincides with digby's.
conspiracy?
