A repeat?
I admit, it's that good.
Hell, I bought the album.
WATERBOARD THE GOP
Given the UN speech...
aaaah. I get it now.
The "US" guy totally reminds me of Crispin Glover.
I think you posted this once. I liked it.
The scandal-plagued Republican party.

YouTube sucks ass.
Haven't you done this one before?
No complaints, really, I like it.
Very Beatle-esque.
yeah, repeat. too many bands i try to plug don't have anything on youtube.
Kayla apparently pooped while the Dogz were on walkabout this evening. She's come home with lot of vim and vigor, and is aggressively attacking Mex. That means she had to have lightened her load.
Fuck this Admin up one side and down the other!
Hell, I bought the album. watertiger
And here I try to think of things you'd never have heard.
yeah, repeat. too many bands i try to plug don't have anything on youtube.
You should form a band.
It's so awesome that the Connecticut Pedophiles for Ntodd party is going to lose bad in november.
Assrocket is doing beauty pageant posts again:
Based on my review of the contestants--it's a tough job, but someone has to do it--I think it's going to be a Caribbean year. Let me say, though, that the quality of the photography varies so widely that it's a little hard to tell. By now, the pageant should have standardized photos of the contestants, but they don't. Consequently, it's hard to tell whether Miss Costa Rica, for example, is a formidable candidate or not.
yeah, repeat. too many bands i try to plug don't have anything on youtube.
Yes, but it's uncannily timely.
And here I try to think of things you'd never have heard.
And I appreciate it beyond belief.
*blows kiss*
And here I try to think of things you'd never have heard.
I think Phila already took care of that on the last thread...

Not according to my campaign manager. STOP SPREADING LIES, YOU ANTI-SEMITE!
God, Assrocket is nuts tonight, even by his standards
I read somewhere (I'd link if I could find it quickly) that waterboarding was the interrogation technique that broke every high-level detainee but one. (The one exception, according to that report, was an al Qaeda leader who was taken to see Khalid Sheik Mohammed in his cell, and required no further persuasion.) So whether our interrogators can continue to use this highly effective technique is, I think, a very big deal. Waterboarding is denounced by critics as a form of torture. In fact, though, it is harmless, and we reportedly waterboard our own military pilots to acquaint them with the sensation of drowning after they bail out of an airplane.
Oooh. That's a good song, but it's like, a year old.
Get hipper, Atrios.

And now for Getting Hit On The Head Lessons...
It will always irritate me, that by the time I was sensible to what was occurring in the world around me, the Andy Griffith Show had gone to color.

She doing that funny half growl/half yodel?

Just wait until I have to apply the medicine on her anus.
I'm very fond of this video for Nouvelle Vague's cover of Don't Go.
When does NTodd debate Waffles and will it be webcast?
I think Phila already took care of that on the last thread...
He sure did!
Hey, Zap,
I will give the Twins their proper respect. I sincerely hope the Tigers win the division so that they can open against Oakland - I want nothing to do with the damned Twins.
They are the best team playing right now.
that waterboarding was the interrogation technique that broke every high-level detainee but one. ... Waterboarding is denounced by critics as a form of torture. In fact, though, it is harmless...
Does this fool even read what he writes?
Yeah, it's a relaxing spa treatment
I'm not sure what this thread is about but I definitely agree with what Planck implied--the Andy Griffith Show in color was a sad turning point in TV.
Feral?
Kindly make it a double.
She doing that funny half growl/half yodel?
Yup. Combined with her bossy yapping.
Oh, but wait: she's now sitting calmly on the sofa while Mex gently licks her ear. It's very sweet...
Then again, I blog about dead musicians (and the childrens authors who loved them), and one who's heading down the same path.
Despite the fact that this article made an impression on the Virtually Normal Fifth Columnist, it's worth saving from the soiled sheets: Torture's Long Shadow By Vladimir Bukovsky.

Well, the good news is that this compromise would mean that we can only torture when the preznit says it's okay.
John "torture" McCain in 08:He can take it and dole it out!

It's only to train them in case they're ever captured by the Islamofascists, given the bloggers are on the frontlines of this global war and shit. Plus it's fun!
Isn't waterboarding in the Olympics? Hang on, let me Google.
(google, google).
Why, yes - it says here that the USA team grabbed the gold - they actually pulled it outta the guy's molar before they plunged him into the ice waters of Olympischer Wasserbrett Stadium.

Yeah, and he's sure to say that "cruel and unusual punishment" and "equal protection before the law" still apply, both abroad and within the U.S. penal system — he being a reborn candyass "el diablo" king, and all.
I'm very concerned.

I personally don't think either team has the kind of front-loaded pitching to get to the Series. Maybe the Yanks if Mussina and Johnson are in good form, but it's a big if.

Barry,
Hidey is da gorgeous.

I think it's outrageous that Bush wants to watertiger the detainees.
Did you ever notice that there were no married people in all of Mayberry? Everyone was single. Andy. Barney. Bea. Floyd. Gomer. Gooper. Clara (a widow). Helen. There wasn't a single married couple in that whole town except the drunk Otis (which may be why he was a drunk).

Another millstone for the war on terror:
War price on U.S. lives equal to 9/11
WASHINGTON - Now the death toll is 9/11 times two. U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now surpass those of the most devastating terrorist attack in America's history, the trigger for what came next.
The latest milestone for a country at war came Friday without commemoration. It came without the precision of knowing who was the 2,974th to die in conflict. The terrorist attacks killed 2,973 victims in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

WSJ -- How long does the stench of scandal stick to cash?
Apparently more than two years, at least according to Florida Senate candidate Katherine Harris’ camp, which is considering giving away the $6,000 she received from Ohio Congressman Bob Ney’s political action committee in 2002 and 2004.
Earlier this week, Ney pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges stemming from his involvement with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. He still hasn’t given up his congressional seat, much to the dismay of the Ohio Republican party and their hand-picked replacement for him, Joy Padgett.
Harris was on hand for President Bush’s fund-raising appearance in Orlando Thursday despite some suggestion earlier that she might not be invited. She got a shout-out from the president during his speech, but didn’t get to be part of the big photo-op. “Missing from the stage was U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris, who on Sept. 5 won the U.S. Senate nomination with less than 50% of the GOP primary vote; she was among the several hundred people who packed into the ballroom where the event was held,” the Orlando Sentinel reported.
It wasn’t all work for President Bush, who raised $2 million for Florida Republicans during the stop, according to the St. Petersburg Times. “…in between the two fundraisers, Bush…made an unannounced stop by the (Tampa Bay) Buccaneers’ new headquarters just as the team was wrapping up practice for the day. As Bush mingled - signing footballs, posing with running back Michael Pittman’s 19˝-inch biceps - nearby Karl Rove took a moment to work on his throwing arm, his Blackberry in hand.
It's so clear none of us wasted our youth.

C-SPAN Book TV Sunday at noon: Noam Chomsky - Hegemony or Survival Updated at 5:24 PM
On Sunday, September 24 at 12:00 pm ET
Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance
Noam Chomsky
Description: From the United Nations Correspondents Association in New York City, Noam Chomsky discusses the "Bush doctrine" and its implications. In particular, Professor Chomsky addresses the Bush administration's space policy and its overall efforts to expand U.S. influence and power. He also talks about the case of British whistleblower Katherine Gun, who leaked a memo stating that the NSA had been spying on UN Security Council members, and discusses the charges against the Cuban 5, who were convicted in the U.S. of espionage in 2001. On September 20, 2006, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, speaking in front of the U.N. General Assembly, praised Professor Chomsky's book, "Hegemony or Survival," and recommended that Americans read it.
Author Bio: Noam Chomsky, a professor of linguistics and philosophy at MIT, is the author of numerous books on U.S. foreign policy, including "American Power and the New Mandarins," "Political Economy of Human Rights" (two volumes, written with Edward Herman), "Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians," and "Pirates and Emperors, Old and New: International Terrorism in the Real World." His most recent books are "Failed States" and "Perilous Power."

Hey guys. I'm getting ready to go to bed, but I just want to know:
Is it true what I'm reading and hearing? Are the Dems already saying they won't stand in the way of the torture bill?
I heard Carl Levin on NPR and it wasn't inspiring, and I just read on georgia10's diary that the WaPo is reporting that "top Democrats in both houses indicated that they will not stand in the bill's path and risk being blamed for its demise."
Please please tell me this is not true.

Top Her. OK, that was a sitcom in the early 50's called Topper, starring Leo G. Carroll.
Watching The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, I was reminded of Peter Schneider's great book The Wall Jumper
Thoough techically a novel, all the details are based on fact. It's about a big organization, including a lot of Berlin Wall guards, who hated the wall and simply decided they'd act as if it didn't exist. They'd go back and forth whenever they wanted.
One of my favorite stories concerns a group of teens in West Berlin. Their clothes identified them as Easterners, attracting the attention of the police who asked them if they were defecting. They said no, they were expected home for dinner. They were just in West Berlin for the afternoon to see The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Schneider also wrote Scenes from the German Comedy, a non-fiction book about life after the wall came down, and how nobody got quite what they wanted or expected.

This is what pisses me off about the pr0n industry; there was a time when they actually tried to make movies, with plots and stories and sex, but it's regressed totally to what was once called a "stag reel". Nothing but sex with no context at all.
How many of you remember actual porn flicks with at least a pretense of a plot? Deep Throat at least pretended to have a plot. The Devil and Miss Jones tried to string a bunch of sex scenes into a story. Then there was Flesh Gordon, which was a skinflick takeoff on the old serial.
Something like The XXX Files has, as indicated, a good shot at doing some nice takeoff on the Scully/Mulder relationship. Not to mention sex scenes with aliens and Cigarette Smoking Man.

Phh--I forgot that great movie, which somehow became a fave of feminist academics. I never quite got the reason. They seemed to think Rampling's repetition compulsion restaging her degradation was an act of empowerment.
My opinion was that it's inherently comical to have a bunch of dispossessed Nazis bonding together at a cheap single room occupancy hotel

i watched that Warhol 2 parts doc on PBS this week and since then , i have The Velvets' "heroin" in my head. It's kinda weird to be doing my groceries and singing "Heroin, be the death of me.Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life. Because a mainer to my vein. Leads to a center in my head.And then I'm better off than dead.Because when the smack begins to flow.I really don't care anymore" I'm scaring the children

Anyone on the east coast receive weird phone calls for polling?
TPM Cafe has this:
Constituents in West Virginia, for instance, have been bombarded with calls from the group, but when they check their caller ID, the number, (571) 522-6400, comes up as from a company called Aetr, Inc.
Who Called Us, an online site that allows users nationwide to log instances of anonymous callers, says the number also sometimes comes up on Caller IDs as originating from "Braddock, VA," or from "ER PR."
I used to get subscription offers from Maxim-- a deeply stupid magazine-- or at least that's the side they tried to sell.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a universal health care bill Friday, saying it would create a "vast new bureaucracy."
The bill would have provided every California resident with health insurance through a program administered by a new entity, the California Health Insurance Agency.
The system would have been partially financed by the state's current spending on health care and partly by consumers and their employers in place of private insurance payments. A state commission would have made recommendations on premiums for patients and businesses.

I also liked how the Martians gad a two word vocabulary, ak and rak. Ak ak rak ak rak ak ak

Aw, Vicki that's a shame. I am wishing for a good soul to find it and call you tomorrow.
It's a shame that readers of the Post's print edition won't get to read Mr. Froomkin's analysis:
Questions the Press Should Ask
Members of the traditional press were paying scant attention to the issue of state-sanctioned torture until a rift appeared within the Republican party itself. That, in Washington, qualifies as high drama.
And now that the rift has been papered over, most reporters' tendencies will be to cover the issue mostly from the angle of its effectiveness as a political cudgel in the mid-term elections.
But the American public deserves to hear a full and open debate on this important moral issue. And if Congress won't host it, then it's up to the Fourth Estate to rise to the challenge.
Step one would be some actual reporting into the CIA interrogation program, including aggressive truth-squadding of the assertions coming from the White House. President Bush, for instance, yesterday called the program the "most potent tool we have in protecting America and foiling terrorist attacks."
Can he back that up? What little investigative reporting I've seen on the program thus far, by Ron Suskind among others, suggests that Bush's assertion is exaggerated or just plain wrong -- and that in fact the use of torture or near-torture has produced little or no valuable information. It's imperative that the media give the public a better sense of whether Bush is credible on this issue.
Here's a question reporters should be asking: If, as Suskind has alleged, the administration is aware that those harsh CIA interrogation tactics don't really work -- and no one is currently in CIA detention anyway -- then why is this such an important issue for the White House? One possible answer: That this has nothing to do with the future; that it's about giving them cover for their actions in the past.
Here's another question reporters should be asking: Have the senators been assured that Vice President Cheney won't get Bush to attach a "signing statement" to this bill, asserting his inherent powers, as he did the last time he signed torture legislation?
Finally, as the White House gears up to use detainee policy as a political issue, it is incumbent on the press to remind the public that there are not only two choices: Doing it Bush's way and letting terrorists go free. Even if the Democrats aren't coherent about other alternatives, the press should be.
Too late to start drinking? Are you fucking insane? I have four cats who are encouraging me to make sure that I can get to sleep later. And I have yet to finish the NYT crossword.
Bitte schoen, Plum P!
what? (i just know 2 languages, stupid me)
Well, I, as Yente, picked this totally cool actor dude for my daugher. I want him to be her "first" - if she wants it. He writes music, he's plays guitar and keyboards, he's an actor, a singer, all of that.
They are perfect.
Draco:
I'm a Tim Burton fan, but Mars Attacks
is a complete misfire. Yeah, the Martians are funny, and yeah, Lisa Marie is hot, but IMHO, it absolutely drips contempt for the poor trailer park crowd that is its satirical raison d'etre and -- more to the point -- for any subspecies of humanity that wasn't actually involved in the making of the movie.
In other words, it's a symphony of misanthropy -- it hates literally everybody and everything (except the annointed, i.e. friends of the filmmakers).
Fuck it.
Sow, you can hold me whenever...
oh man, watching the rerun of maher, and this woman from fox is friggin insane. the level of delusion among bush supporters is frightening
Are you a fan of Mars Attacks too? I feel lonely finding that movie hilarious.
I thought the Martians were hilarious, the way they looked and when they went "Ack ack!" I laughed my ass off at that. I thought the rest of the movie blew.
I like the Starship Troopers movie, it has the basic format of a WWII propaganda film but it is really a political movie masquerading as a mindless Hollywood action movie.
I'm a Tim Burton fan, but Mars Attacks is a complete misfire.
It reminded me of Seventh Seal, with a taste of Amarcord. Perhaps it tried to communicate too much. But I think only Kurosawa could have made it better.

Vicki -- my thoughts, such as they are, are with you.
He writes music, he's plays guitar and keyboards, he's an actor, a singer, all of that.
(Cue Heart...) He's got the magic hands, mama.
Mars Attacks was so uproariously funny that I have to avoid rerunning it. The critics have no sense of humor, they took it too seriously. Ed Wood was extremely well choreographed and filmed, and fortunately, it did get some underground adulation.
Much the same, the original Star Wars was the bomb, but the masses liked the action and effects, not the subtle parody.
People are hopelessly shallow.
I can't believe even one Vietnam hewned, ground, steel-flying officer would have approved of Shrub's "splendid little war" in Iraq.
I know General Powell was against the notion, but didn't have the nads to resign.
And I'm sure he will regret that lack of courage when it counted, for the rest of his life.
Because he was set up as the only legitimate identity this non-serving Assministration and PNAC coward convention had to back the invasion.
You go, Hugo:
September 22,2006 | CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launched yet another verbal attack against President Bush upon returning from a highly charged U.S. visit Friday, calling on the American leader to resign.
"He should renounce the presidency if he has any dignity. The president of the United States has failed completely," Chavez said at the inauguration of a natural gas project in northwestern Venezuela.
"If he has any dignity..."
Who knew Hugo was such a kidder?

In the push for Election 2006, we must emphasize the coherence of our Democratic platform. If we fail to frame the organic nature of our policies, we may betray the appearance of a loose coalition of disparate goals. Therefore, we agree upon these frames:
1) Federally-funded abortions for everyone, everywhere, anytime, for any reason.
2) Prosecution and punishment of the BushCo war-criminals.
3) Immediate redeployment of all US military assets to the state of Kansas.
4) Serving stem-cell salad at all breakfast buffets.
5) Outlawing severe weather in the Gulf of Mexico.
6) Appointing:
6a) Ray Nagin to head FEMA.
6b) Ned Lamont to SecDef.
6c) Feingold to State Dept.
7) Issuing sternly-worded warnings to Al Qaeda, followed by peace negotiations.
Victim-For-Life designations to all Katrina survivors, plus cash awards.
9) Mandating national $20/hr minimum-wage; outlawing positive profit margins.
Frame the Future! Frame Success! Frame Your Dreams!

Democratic ACTION Plan -FOAD, quickly as possible.
Much the same, the original Star Wars was the bomb, but the masses liked the action and effects, not the subtle parody.
I think the first, what, 30 minutes are some of the best cinema ever made, especially the droids wandering in the desert. After that...eh. I'm remembering the film as I first saw it at the age of 11. I was absolutely entranced during about the first half. The rest of it, blowing up the Death Star and all that wack video game shit, I didn't even know what the hell was going on.
So...I'm game. What's the subtle parody?
Re Starship Troopers--I like most anything from Verhoeven. He always takes genre and goes oves the top with it. I liked in Soldier of Orange when the siegers lobbed ton after ton of diseased meat into the fortress. The longer the meat-catapulting sequence went on, the funnier it became
I won't even comment on the scary vagina imagery for the great spider monster in Starship Troopers--Verhoeven was doubtless laughing up hos sleeve.
My favorite movie by him remains The Fourth Man. Kei and Yuri and I had a nice discussion on why the lovers had their breakup in the opening sequence. It's mysterious, yet crucial. The other lever only has a few lines. K & Y just loves that sequence
a room full of J Edgar Hoovers in drag would be damn nasty...

I saw a Fat Piggie today, exiting the mall in her big SUV, with her spoiled brood, cellphone glued to her ear, and I thought "Who do you think you are, you Piggie!? Why don't you care about all the people who suffer for your wasteful lifestyle? Why can't you live like me and my friends: walking, riding bikes, taking mass-transit; buying Fair Trade wild rice from Buzzflash; putting a brick in the toilet tank; recycling; promoting environmentally-friendly hemp-based products?"
That's what I thought. And I was right, and proud, to think it!
I want to thank my psychology professor for opening my eyes to the true nature of Amerikkkan hegemony. I will never again enjoy the poisoned fruits of capitalist plunder.

Buzz Bomb--I semi-liked the first Stars Wars when I was 17. I've said this before but I recognized it as a rewrite of Prince Valiant with cool space gizmos.

Not WWII actually, but Cold War.
It's an odd but telling fact that Heinlein took a break from writing his "hippy" novel Stranger in a Strange Land to write the utterly fascist Starship Troopers because the USSR detonated their first nuclear bomb...
Knowing that gives Stranger a whole new sinister level...

I don't think so. I do think that the movie is squarely within the tradition of space opera (not sci-fi per se), and does poke a little fun at that.
But the obvious relationships as you call them are, I think, simply a result of Lucas's phenomenal incompetence at portraying relationships at anything beyond an adolescent level.

Mmmmmmmm! Huevos Rancheros!
My first act of civil disobedience was staying in the Sunday matinee to see STar Wars a second time for free.
Same place I met Hillary.
The arts council took over the once run down place and does things like concerts and Rocky Horror replays with prop gift bags at the door.
A friend taught a comics drawing class there recently.
I'm trying to get local circuit musicians to start teaching there. Informal training, just something to help inspire them and their prospective students expand their music knowledge.
P&T--I don't quite buy you on Star Wars. Lucas himself said he thought he was making a kid's movie. He rather was. It's only later he laid out his grand 9 movie scheme, since scaled back to 6.
And I've been forced by my young nephew to watch one of the new series--damn Lucas is taling himself too seriously. His ex-wife thinks the same. She said something like "He's built an upside-down pyramid on top of a pea."
The Verhoeven movie with them lobbing the plague infested meat into the water was "Flesh and Blood." Pretty gross and pointless flick. The late, great Bruno Kirby had a supporting role in that, his New York accent fiiting so well with the middle ages...
"Soldier of Orange" started well, but was endless.
"Spetters" was interesting.
"Total Recall" was an admirable effort at producing one of what, twenty something years ago, was considered one of the 10 greatest movie scripts that will never get made (another of the legendary 10 that eventually got made was called "Miracle Mile," starring Anthony Edwards, but Steve De Jarnatt eventually got it made).
Verhoeven achieved true hackdom, of course, when he followed "Basic Instinct" with "Showgirls." I remember an interview with him, when "Showgirls" came out, where he said that the main reason he made it was because he likes looking at naked tits and asses (not that there's anything wrong with it).
...damn, my comp is lagging... wireless and it still sucks mothra balls.
Or rather, Star Wars III, depending on how you sequence it.
Pitchforks & Torches
See, that shit annoys me. I know Lucas has been trying for years to get us to call the 1977 Star Wars move "A New Hope." But that title is ass, everyone knows it, and it will always be Star Wars.
All his retroactive bullshit sucks. Including his "Special Editions."
Mr. Murder, sounds like a neat place. What city?

I'm sorry, but I love Showgirls. When I first saw it (on video), about ten minutes into the movie when Elizabeth Berkeley just up and VOMITS for no apparent reason, I thought, Oh man, we're in for a cinematic masterpiece here. I was not disappointed.

I remember an academic inspired conference on the topic "Violence in Cinema"
They got 5 big name directors, DePalma, Scorsese, Cameron Verhoeven, one I forget.
They went in alphabetical order, DePalma setting the tone, second
He said something like "Cinema has many options on the palette, violence being one of them. I never use violence indiscriminately, only when it suits the demands of the movie." Fine words from someone who not only showed Kirk Douglas' head exploing in The Fury, then showed it again in slo-mo
All the others echoed DePalma, praising his restraint
Then it came to Verhoeven, last. "I must be the only bad person here. I really like violence in movies."
Hahaha

Well, it appears everyone disagrees with me on Star Wars thanks to free speech. I wouldn't want to be a rightist when it comes to that.
However, Lucas is a dope, most of us concur on that. He makes movies for children and defaults with adults as his main audience. While not in the same league as Bugs Bunny for its adult-aimed dialogue, it gives me the impression of satirical humor.

You are tasked to do a lot during the day, as am I. Don't you get tired? I get so exhausted. Then I wake up around 1 AM.
I often think that the 8-5 workday is extremely arbitrary.

Word, that.
And not just arbitrary, but contra-indicated by what it does to people. Not to mention that we really have reached a point where a good bit of our production is unnecessary.
We really should have a 32-hour workweek, and much more vacation time, in this country, as some do in Europe.

I found it online, new, for 50 cents. Tarantino bought the rights from a cinema student and reshot the original project.
You might like it.
It reminds me not to mess with my sweet quiet wife.
I loved Kill Bill, parts 1 and 2. In fact, I think Tarantino is just hitting his stride. Watching those movies (or rather, movie split into 2 movies) caused me to reflect on what a damn shame it is that Tarantino's work ethic is so shitty. Apparently all he does is sit around and smoke pot and watch old movies. What with this busy schedule, he only gets around to making a movie of his own, oh, every seven or eight years. But then I thought, well, okay, maybe it's good that he does all that slacking and pot-smoking and movie-watching. Do that shit enough, and you end up making a kick-ass couple of flicks like the two Kill Bills, whereas if you crank out a movie a year, like Woody Allen, why, most of them suck.
cool, hey. I'll keep my eyes open for it... and I'll stop messing around with your sweet quiet wife.

I think I know what bugs me about Tarantino; watching the man himself. When I watch him and listen to him, it's hard for me to believe that he's the man who made the movie I just watched.
I loved Kill Bill, parts 1 and 2.
Big fat "meh."
My favorite isolated Tarantino sequence is in Kill Bill I, when Uma T first arrives in Tokyo. She's in a convoy of limos cruising from the airport, surround by a swarm of scootering spies loyal to arch-rival Lucy Liu, framed by the Tokyo skyline.
Utterly beautiful, all the moreso because it hints at drama and violence, but nothing happens
Most people don't even remeber the scene, the other stuff was so extreme
Random comment: "A History of Violence" is an absolutely brilliant film, in my opinion.
It's just well done. Well directed, well shot, well acted (without all the "pomo" self-consciousness of every QT movie...)
This Nations' conscience really took a body blow with this current Chief Executive, the "MBA" President.
It's no longer noble, in fact it's thought of now as kinda shitty, to be reduced to offering a damn hard day's service toward some goal.

From Kill Bill II, I love Carradine's monologue--obviously QT's--on Superman. All the other superheroes are humans impersonating superheroes.
But Superman really is Superman, he impersonates a human as Clark Kent. That's what he thinks of humans--weak, ineffectual, subserviant, less attractive to women than Superman

I got this off TP check this out what these American Nationalist Libertarians think. And you thought Leeden was nuts;
"Here’s our Solution to Islamo-Fascism.
Here is how America could solve her terrorism problem in 5 easy steps:
Stop sacrificing American soldiers to bring “freedom” to savages in Iraq. Pull our soldiers out of that hell hole, and let the savages have their civil war. ( Iraq is not and never was the main source of terrorism against America. Iran and Saudi Arabia are.)
Declare war on Iran.
Obliterate, from high altitude and long distance, all known Iranian military assets, all Iranian government buildings, all Iranian mosques and madrassahs, and the residences of all Iranian leaders, imams, clerics, and government officials. Hit these targets when they are most likely to be occupied (e.g., mosques during the day and residences at night). Do not send soldiers in on foot, except as necessary to identify targets or gather intelligence. We do not need to send soldiers in on foot to fight, and it would be immoral to do so. We have many big missiles, fast planes, and good bombs, and we should use these liberally while building bigger, faster, and better ones. (As to innocent non-Americans, such as Iranian children, who would be killed in such a campaign, they are not properly the concern of our government. Nor would their deaths be the fault of our government. Such deaths are always the fault of the force-initiating regime—and of those who in any way support or enable it—whose actions necessitate such retaliatory measures.)
Airdrop leaflets across the Middle East explaining: “From now on, this is how America will respond to any and all threats to her citizens or allies. We look forward to the time when you decide to civilize yourselves, stop taking religion seriously, renounce the initiation of physical force, recognize the principle of individual rights, establish rule of law, and join the free world. Until then, we will be watching you from way up in the sky—higher even than Allah, by means of technology He cannot fathom—and if we see anything that we so much as feel might conceivably pose even a remote threat either to America or to our allies, we will annihilate it and everything in its proximity without further warning.”
Notify the regime in Saudi Arabia that it got lucky and has the option of not being obliterated; that we are prepared instead to seize “its” oil fields and sell them to private industry, in part to pay for the campaign against Iran, and in part to return the fields to private industry where they belong; that it has 24 hours to turn the fields over to our agents; and that if it fails to comply or ignites the fields or does anything to thwart our program, its leaders, like those of Iran, will meet Allah sooner than later.

Osama Bin Laden Is Dead'
Updated: 10:11, Saturday September 23, 2006
Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has died of typhoid in Pakistan, according to reports in a regional French newspaper.
The paper quoted one of the country's secret service reports, saying that Saudi Arabia is convinced that Bin Laden died a month ago.
L'Est Republicain also said a copy of the report was shown to President Jacques Chirac and the French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin.
"According to a usually reliable source, the Saudi services are now convinced that Osama bin Laden is dead," the document said.
"The information gathered by the Saudis indicates that the head of al Qaeda was a victim while he was in Pakistan on August 23, 2006, of a very serious case of typhoid which led to a partial paralysis of his internal organs."
Time to get on back to our Moonbat roots:
For years, a network of fake citizens' groups and bogus scientific bodies has been claiming that science of global warming is inconclusive. They set back action on climate change by a decade. But who funded them? Exxon's involvement is well known, but not the strange role of Big Tobacco. In the first of three extracts from his new book, George Monbiot tells a bizarre and shocking new story.
Well, I think I will head back to bed for a bit. Pain medication is starting to kick in.
I cannot possibly explain how much fun this injury is. (but I will say, I do understand how people get addicted to the good drugs for pain. Last night I was in absolute misery, half a pill later and I feel decent. That temptation is damned near overwhelming. But I am doing my best not to take the easy way out.)
And I think that someone should do the necessary paperwork/research to have Republicanism added as a mental disorder.

Fucking no way! That'll give so many evil motherfuckers an easy "not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect" defense!
And Father Greeley speaks, The remembrance of the World Trade Center last week was an unbearably ugly event, a national disgrace, another blot on the integrity of the country. Under the deft direction of the administration and the supine cooperation of television, it was turned into an event for the Republican congressional campaign, whether the individual candidates wanted such help or not. The imagery was designed to stir up anger and the desire for revenge. What ought to have been a national liturgy of reconciliation and rededication became an exercise in opening old wounds and pouring salt on them. In its wake, those who disagree with President Bush -- even senators of his own party -- become allies of the terrorists.
Do he and his advisers have no shame at all?
Most obnoxious was the exploitation of the grief of the survivors. Anniversaries are always difficult for the bereaved. They should be permitted to suffer in privacy, supported by their faith and their families. Long ago, however, those behind the TV cameras lost all taste and sensibility. Grief, like sex, is no longer a private matter. The pain must be emblazoned across the television screen so a voyeuristic public can revel in it. Have TV journalists no shame at all?

People?! To the powers that be, they are tools to misuse and discard without a thought.
I'm waiting to see if people will add to their oh-so-grand "support the troops" magnets a "support the vets" magnet.
When the all-war-all-the-time blood lust wears thin, and the consequence of the meat grinder comes home, that's when we get to find the true national character.
Outside of the G.I. Bill, our history of dealing with vets has not been very good. The need to fix blame for disastrous military campaigns is almost as strong the blood lust that brought them on.
Blaming the planners and enablers is doctrinally unacceptable. That would mean asking oneself what one did or failed to do to prevent catastrophe. Introspection is not our strong these days.
Among the usual suspects of fifth columnists, liberals, and whatnot, there will be blame eventually placed on those who fought, especially when vets try to move into the political realm.

Reminds me of a day when I drove up into the Jemez and played in the snow on the mountainside, while ABQ was dry.
But more of a secluded spot in Arkansas, in the Ouachitas, where I had a camping spot right on the edge of a cliff... the vultures would fly along just at eye level... and this was just 5 minutes away from the path to the waterfall. By the time you got there, you were all sweaty, but that was okay, because you could stand under the waterfall...
And one night, when camping (and tripping), I was kept company by a baby armadillo who bounced around like a little armored bunny.

Pakistan About-Face
From: Juan Cole
The Pakistan military and what is left of its civilian bureaucracy has therefore acquiesced in President Bush's demands, even though Pakistan has declined to involve its own troops in fighting outside the country.
What accounts for the alacrity with which Musharraf has moved on this issue? First of all, he appears to have been bluntly threatened. Dawn quotes Pakistani officials as saying, that " 'Pakistan has the option to live in the 21st century or the Stone Age' is roughly how US officials are putting their case." It is astonishing that the US is talking like this behind the scenes, if true, though presumably the blunt language is coming from aides & lower-level bureaucrats
doesn't quite seem that the chimp got the message from Musharraf (resolution of the Kashmir issue)..
Musharraf clearly wants, and told Bush so, a resolution of the Kashmir issue under the good auspices of the US, though he was careful not to make anything a quid pro quo (people with one foot in the Stone Age are apparently anyway not in a position to present any quids).
I read the original French story (I am French) and the Saudis believe this story enough to have sent a note to the French and presumably the British, Americans etc.
They don't know where he is buried, but they are looking for his body. I believe that this was what Bush was referring to with his cryptic remarks about "Shall we tell them?" with Musharraf.
If we spread this story around now, that might diffuse the news when Bush does, and also might preclude any such display he had planned.

However, I fear we will enter a period like after 1975, where we see nothing, nothing, nothing. America will be triumphant again, because America is exceptional. Next thing you know, we've got another Ronald Reagan (I suppose saying, "It's late morning just before lunch in America"), playing the mythic hero role of restoring national pride while his underlings arrange the next disaster.

The French may have just spoiled our chance to stage a glorious "capture" of the supervillian who died in the stuggle against the valiant forces that Bush has been mustering all along in secret...or some some such fakery that far too many people in this administration get paid very well to concoct.

Now the death toll is 9/11 times two. U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now surpass those of the most devastating terrorist attack in America's history, the trigger for what came next.

More than one-third of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans seeking medical treatment from the Veterans Health Administration report symptoms of stress or other mental disorders — a tenfold increase in the last 18 months, according to an agency study.
The dramatic jump in cases — coming as more troops face multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan — has triggered concern among some veterans groups that the agency may not be able to meet the demand. They say veterans have had to deal with long waits for doctor appointments, staffing shortages and lack of equipment at medical centers run by the Veterans Affairs Department.

"'Pakistan has the option to live in the 21st century or the Stone Age' is roughly how US officials are putting their case."
Back in the day, we supposedly promised the Taliban, in negotiating a pipeline for Caspian oil, a "carpet of gold" or, if they did not play ball, a "carpet of bombs."
Well, they ultimately got a carpet of bombs, and we know what happened next.
'Egypt will pursue nuclear energy'
Aw geez, there goes the neighborhood...this democracy thingy just seems to spread nuclear ambitions..
meanwhile, with a memo sitting on his desk that Ossama Bin Laden is dead, Bush is posturing how he would send in troops to Pakistan without prior approval from Musharraf if he had a tip about where Bin Laden was.
And the Saudis are busy looking for the body...
Honestly, I wonder how Bush would have presented Ossama Bin Laden's death to everyone if this story hadn't leaked out.
here is the French story. Use babelfish.altavista.com to translate because I'm too lazy. not too much more information but they do stress that the Saudis are convinced.
Oussama Ben Laden serait mort
Les services secrets saoudiens auraient acquis la conviction que le fondateur d'Al-Qaďda est mort.
Si elle était prochainement confirmée, l'information tomberait ŕ pic pour le président américain Georges Bush fortement malmené par les sondages ŕ moins de deux mois des élections.
L'information que nous révélons aujourd'hui résulte d'une note de renseignement classifiée « confidentiel défense » émanant de la Direction générale des services extérieurs (DGSE). Les services secrets français l'ont transmise jeudi 21 septembre au Président de la république, au Premier ministre, au ministre de l'Intérieur et de la Défense. Nous vous en livrons le contenu in-extenso. :
« Selon une source habituellement fiable, les services saoudiens auraient désormais acquis la conviction qu'Oussama Ben Laden est mort. Les éléments recueillis par les saoudiens indiquent que le chef d'Al-Qaďda aurait été victime, alors qu'il se trouvait au Pakistan le 23 aoűt 2006, d'une trčs forte crise de typhoďde ayant entraîné une paralysie partielle de ses membres inférieurs. Son isolement géographique, provoqué par une fuite permanente, aurait rendu impossible toute assistance médicale. Le 4 septembre 2006, les services saoudiens de sécurité ont recueilli les premiers renseignements faisant état de son décčs. Ils attendraient, d'obtenir davantage de détails, et notamment le lieu exact de son inhumation, pour annoncer officiellement la nouvelle ».
Les informations recueillies par la DGSE sur la mort de Ben Laden ont été jugées suffisamment fiables pour qu'il soit décidé d'en informer les plus hautes autorités françaises. Une premičre note avait été rédigée et diffusée le 19 septembre dernier. Elle était intitulée : « Les services saoudiens cherchent ŕ confirmer la mort d'Oussama Ben Laden ».
Avant la divulgation de cette nouvelle, cela faisait plus de trois ans que les responsables américains du contre-terrorisme n'avaient pas reçu d'informations crédibles. Il faut remonter ŕ l'arrestation d'un des dirigeants d'Al-Qaďda, Walid Mohamed Ben Attash en avril 2003, pour trouver une trace de Ben Laden. Il avait alors été établi que ce dernier avait rencontré le chef spirituel du Jihad, trois mois auparavant, dans la province de Khost en Afghanistan. Ces derniers mois, les commandos américains, qui étaient en charge de la traque, concentraient leurs recherches ŕ la frontičre entre l'Afghanistan et le Pakistan, au nord des régions tribales. C'est ŕ dire dans la région non contrôlée par les autorités d'Islamabad et oů l'armée ne s'aventure jamais. Il faut dire que les militaires pakistanais ont enregistré d'énormes pertes en hommes lorsqu'ils avaient tenté d'occuper le terrain en 2004 et 2005.

Honestly, I wonder how Bush would have presented Ossama Bin Laden's death to everyone if this story hadn't leaked out.
mimi
Easy. Just put a tanned John Mark Karr in a beard and a turban and proclaim "We got him!"
mimi, never fear. That's why they haven't released the news yet. They'll come up with some cock and bull story about how w's initiative and bravery finally brought osama down. After all, who ya gonna believe, some frog newspaper or a brave Amurican prez?
well, ql, the news is released now.
let's release it all over the place so that Bush gets pre-empted.
and, just to show you that the story about the Saudis sending the file to the French is true, the Defense Minister in France has authorized a leak investigation: (click link)
PARIS (Reuters) - France's Defence Ministry said on Saturday a secret service report saying al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had died could not be confirmed but said it would launch an inquiry into the leak of secret documents.
"The information published this morning in the L'Est Republicain newspaper relating to the supposed death of Osama bin Laden cannot be confirmed," the Defence Ministry said in a statement.
"The Defence Minister has asked that an inquiry be carried out to determine the origin of the leak that can be punished by criminal charges."
Ack--I can't go to sleep. No offense, but back chacling out Eschaton is my best for now
Than again, we might just have further use for Saddam, now that he has slimmed up a bit: Put him on stilts in a mujahadeen outfit, and videotape him at a distance with a soft focus lens. Would the average American know the difference, or even care?
I ask again: Did the French just spoil Mr. Rove's alleged October Surprise?
[Of course, all this could be bullshit. Bin Laden's been reported dead before. Maybe we're in negotitian with Pakistan for Bin Laden--watch out, India--and this story is a chance to punk the French, a classic Rovian two-fer.]
May I ask any distinction between "not asleep" and "up early"?
Wow, I remember this thread from before I went to bed.
from cnn.com about Putin, Chirac and Merkel meeting:
French President Jacques Chirac met Russia's Vladimir Putin for dinner at the Elysee Palace on Friday and the two leaders traveled to Compiegne north of Paris early on Saturday for a three-way meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The talks, taking place near the spot where the armistice ending World War One was signed, will cover a range of international issues, including Iran and Lebanon.
The leaders, who will give a joint news conference at about 12:30 p.m. (1030 GMT), will be asked about a report that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan last month.
Thank the Lord that Osama is dead, because he, a religious fanatic, was clearly in cahoots with "secular progressives."
Thanks for the insight, Bill O'Reilly:
ThinkProgress has obtained an advance copy of Bill O’Reilly’s new book, Culture Warrior. In it, O’Reilly claims that Osama bin Laden supports American progressives. Some excerpts from Chapter 7:
Who do you think Osama Bin Laden supports in the American culture war: the traditionalists or the secular-progressives?
…[T]hink about what I am about to put forth: From his hideout somewhere in the Mulism world, Osama bin Laden and his cohorts have got to be cheering on the S-P [secular-progressive] movement…

It horrifies me to see our 'leaders' determining whether kicking some one to death is okay since it happened before we revised the Geneva Conventions and in another country where they didn't apply.

Cheney: The Fatal Touch
By Joan Didion
It was in some ways predictable that the central player in the system
of willed errors and reversals that is the Bush administration would
turn out to be its vice-president, Richard B. Cheney. Here was a man
with considerable practice in the reversal of his own errors. He was
never a star. No one ever called him a natural. He reached public life
with every reason to believe that he would continue to both court
failure and overcome it, take the lemons he seemed determined to pick
for himself and make the lemonade, then spill it, let someone else
clean up.
The son of two New Deal Democrats, his father a federal
civil servant with the Soil Conservation Service in Casper, Wyoming,
he more or less happened into a full scholarship to Yale: his high
school girlfriend and later wife, Lynne Vincent, introduced him to her
part-time employer, a Yale donor named Thomas Stroock who, he later
told Nicholas Lemann, 'called Yale and told 'em to take this guy.' The
beneficiary of the future Lynne Cheney's networking lasted three
semesters, took a year off before risking a fourth, and was asked to
leave.

He made foul, me half-awake, prided himself on this skill. He wanted me out of bed. He liked me less insomniac, so I wasn't in the bed
I did not happily exit the bed half-awake, 3/4s awake or otherwise no matter Robert's nagging. Or boss's insistence. I got out of bed when I felt like it, OK?
Bosses and Robert eventually rejected me. I miss Robert, not bosses.

I see her writing as quite the opposite. Henry James worked hard to render his vision in weighty, complex sentences. Didion, on the other hand, struggled to sublimate the chaos of her life and feelings into the simplest prose available to her... which wound up being not all that simple, but one can sense her efforts

mimi, as mentioned, it struck me as a disappointment for the cretins at the top. As to generally, unfortunately too many will look to our talking heads to decide what they think - and there, too a disappointment that we didn't bring him back 'dead or alive' - frontier justice, it's called - will probably lead to widespread rehashing of the failures of the cabal in the WH. Not a bad thing. the rightwingers will try to turn it into a triumph, that bin Laden was reduced to crawling from cave to cave and denied medical assistance.
As to me, after all the announcements that they had caught another high level al Quaeda operative, I see the military as being more under the gun than ever, overtaxed and incompetent as the civilian leadership. Must get our act back together, and hopefully this election will do that.

got a copy of New Moon I can access? I also have great grandkids. Well, actually, they're grandkids. The great is a quality, not a degree of removal in kinship.

Heh, indeed. I shall drink to your almost-tangibility.
I do wish I had a copy of New Moon to share, but I've got it only in hardcopy (I did all the lettering and the art, primarily collage), and have given hi-res color photocopies to friends... half of whom actually cried when the read it... and one of whom had the thing bound in leather! Quite an homage...
re: bin forgotten thought to be dead...

It is going to happen.
Undoubtably, Attaturk.
Morning, all.

Yeah.
Wow.
That really is exciting.
Dude.
rorschach, is there somewhere I can find a copy then?
OBL death can be best summarized by (yet another quote) from Nelson of the simpsons:
"ding dong the teacher's dead
we cut off her head
and then we took her body
and flushed it down the potty"
LOL
ok - no more quotes, time to think
Off for some breakfast, later.
: )

No, even I only have the original, and the few copies I gave out are all off with friends, almost all of whom I have lost contact with by now...
I could make a laser copy of it and send it to you in manuscript form, but that's rather pricey...

You misspelled "drink."
rorschach, when you do publish it, let me know, okay?
'Yes, that would be the "extra" special touch.
attaturk'
I expect some poor disposable soul will actually have to be tortured to prove their point, say, Armitage - so that he spews out an 'admission' that Rove was out of the loop.

If I ever do, I'll let you know...

Or, in British time, 1813...
Moe: ' “If we want to grow, we need an outdoor venue to put on these kinds of events.”'
nice touch, that - brings up the question 'but do we 'want to grow'? and why? '
Big dark storm approaching here, must get off. Lovely morning, all.
thanks
when times are as depressing at these I remain grateful that cats such as mine provide such mirth and merriment.

Getting off would make it a lovely morning, it is true...
Morning. How is everyone doing here in the United States of Torture this crisp fall day?

Thanks, Ruth! Looks like it might rain on tonight's show, hee-hee. Also, the local daily caught the province covering up a $140,000 gift to the Stones.
on a totally unrelated note, my maternal grandmother celebrates her 87th birthday today.
so my family will be off later this day for afternoon tea followed by a meal at a local pub.
weather currently remains barmy, it is a sunny 18°C 64°F)
That was great. How did they get Josh Goldberg to play America?
I like music. Laura used to be a teacher. That's a fine song.
But the actors were too old for their parts.
