I love all the handwringing and concern about Dem chairpersons. They would have to burn the capitol down to be more damaging to the institution and government than the GOP were.
The repukes will never gain control of Congress again. Maybe they will the presidency with some charasmatic dunce in my lifetime but never Congress again.
11/7 Changed Everything!
Deal with it, brownshirts...
This is why I'm looking forward to Pelosi's first 100 hours.
I expect her approval rating to rise above 40% quickly after that. Unlike W.'s.
but most of that was the post-9/11 era where they basically let Bush control everything.

Yeah, good thing that Dem-controlled Senate full of heroes like Kerry and Edwards and Clinton blocked that Iraq War Resolution.
Jeffraham, that curly is one fine looking tiger cat. 
As soon as Bush started regularly lying in SOTU addresses without a peep of complaint from congress, I knew the GOP had completely abdicated their constitutional role.
It will be nice to see the institution of congress yank back some of that which had been yielded by the rightists.

It is quite freaky to realize that since 1995, except for a few months in 2001, the Democrats haven't controlled either the House or Senate.
Yes, and that explains why everything that has happened since the 2000 election is all their fault -- and good for the Republicans.

My second favorite CD this year is the 60s cover album by Sweet and Susanna Hoffs.
Wow!!!!!
Before the Vietnamese War two Senators voted against the Tonking Gulf Resolution.
Senator Morse and Gruening refused to be stampeded by the LBJ administration.
They were right and everyone else was wrong. You would think that the Senate would have considered that before giving the depraved moron the power to make war in Iraq.
Very few ever pay attention to history. And so it's repeated ad nauseum.....
Seems to me, Democrats have been cleaning up after Repugs for most of my adult life.

Some Dude
Your concern has been noted.
I always base all my votes, even for local judges, on who is chair of the House Intelligence Committee.
I've already requested my absentee ballot for 2008 to vote straight Fascist party.
I thought about that too. More importantly, there has been no rationale oversite done iin 12 years either. The republicans went hog wild on Clinton making a mockery of this Congressional responsibility. Alternatively, the dems had nothing to investigate from the summer of 2001 to 9/11 because Bush hadn't had enough time in office to raise the millions of flags that later pointed to the most extreme corruption.
I imagine that such a regime would have begun in October 2001 with the corporate scandals giving the dem senate a reason to hold real investigation into Bush's Harkin shenanigans. But, alas, 9/11 changed everything and dems limited their corporate scandal investigation to companies rather than the republican criminal gang that paved the way for them.
Without 9/11 the corporate scandals (with Harkin and Enron) would have crippled an already shaky administration. Combine that with the recession and the general rule that the white house incumbant loses seats in the midterms and Bush almost certaintly would have lost the House in 2002. Instead, Bush leveraged the country's fear and good will into an 8 seat pickup.
Just in time for Veterans' Day:
ALS connected to military service during the Gulf War I:

And that was without the depleted uranium dust that coats all of Iraq in this war.
Your concern has been noted.

Though I always liked "That's nice, dear," too...
Here ya go, dith.
One thing that happened in the last six years that never happened before, at least in my lifetime, was a total abdication of the oversight role of Congress that every President before had to deal with.
I mean, LBJ came from the Senate, was a master of moving legislation about, yet faced uphill battles dealing with a Congress that was dominiated by his party.
Not to mention all the grief that Jimmy Carter had to put up with.
Then there's Clinton, who could not get things through in the two years his party was in control of Congress.
The notion of "divided government" that the talking head morons are pushing didn't used to be tied to party, but they seem to think that it always has been, when historically it hasn't been an issue of party.

Perhaps, but surely Pelosi can find a qualified Dem who *hasn't* been impeached in a bribery scandal to take over?
If Pelosi and Reid and the Democrats do as advertised (raise minimum wage, provide congressional oversight to Bushboy's follies, rescind tax cuts for Big Oil, etc.), the Goopers will be reduced to a regional party in the South, totally dependent on Evangelicals as their "base."
Maybe then, we can put the entire Gooper party in a bath tub and drown it.

O I agree. They didn't break it all at once; it took awhile, until they got CooCoo and the majority. Then it was Katie bar the gate (as my mom was so fond of saying.) They just picked it up on both hands and said: "here" and handed it to that fucking little shit and his fucking evil VP and his fucking evil advisor. And Grover Norquist, and Perle, and all the rest.
I hates them. I really really do.

Eh. That goes with the territory. They're politicians, and that's what politicians do.
Which is why you need good, experienced, politically savvy staff to get the actual work done while the politicians are posturing and preening.
One reason Clinton's early years were such a disaster is because there weren't any experienced executive staff around the White House. His staff didn't know how to play the game and they got pwned.
We can't afford for that to happen on the Hill.

I've gotten roped into volunteering to edit all this copy for a website and I don't want to do it. I already did all this copy for a book; I don't want to re-edit it for the website.

Yes, I'm a whiny leftist. Whine whine whine.
War profiteering is a crime.
Which is the basis of the Bush Crime Family. Bushes have been war profiteers going back at least to WWI, perhaps earlier (Rockefeller got his start during the Civil War).
Which is why you need good, experienced, politically savvy staff to get the actual work done while the politicians are posturing and preening.
One reason Clinton's early years were such a disaster is because there weren't any experienced executive staff around the White House. His staff didn't know how to play the game and they got pwned.

Exactly why I don't think the House needs to investigate very deeply before things get very uncomfortable for the Chimpster. Presumably the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy where the Carlyle Group, Halliburton, etc., are concerned will not hold much sway with the Democratic majority.
When I see Bunnatine Greenhouse explaining how Halliburton robbed us blind and Rumsfeld ordered the Pentagon to pay them anyway--and when someone from the Pentagon is put under oath to explain it--then I'll know that the Democrats are serious about protecting the troops. No more $50 six-packs and moldy food.

What they need tho, is political expertise, and that's what the Dems don't have in Washington anymore.

From personal experience, even "framed" artwork displaying posters you are selling aren't necessarily available for purchase.
Years ago I was in a shop that sold a variety of things. On the wall behind the cash register was a large, framed original John Lennon nude self portrait with Yoko. I really thought it would be for sale, considering the kind of shop it was because it had things like that for sale. So I asked.

I couldn't agree more.
There's a whole goddamn lot of information that's missing - parts of reports suppressed and never released, not to mention photographs that two federal courts have ordered the administration to release. There's just easy shit - bird nests on the ground - to keep the Democrats busy for most of the first session. And that's before they even have to start the colonoscopies on CooCoo, Cheney and Rice.

Saw her on Letterman and thought she was about as exciting as watching paint dry.
And speaking of paint drying, here are the top three Worst Albums of the Year.
1. That lute/madrigal Sting nonsense.
Earth to Der Stingel: you're not Julian Bream.
2. That Audra McDonald crap where she tries to invest a Sesame Street song with deep spiritual significance (and its not even the worst thing on the album).
3. That Rod Stewart classic rock covers excresence. Proof positive that all those beautiful folk and r8b covers he did back when he was good were the work of an idiot savant.
Apparently, I'm cranky today.
Chimpy is going to play the bi-partisan card for all it’s worth for the next 2 years.
Every time the Dems try and be tough, the Right will scream “oooh you are not being nice to dear leader, why are you so mean”
They will hope the Dems will back off for 2 years, and then maybe they can steal 2008.
The Dems need to go full steam ahead, and they need to keep reminding people that the Repigs did not do oversight, which is why they have to be tough. Make McCain defend his crap record every day.

Y'all should just mulch the leaves. Better for the soil...
billyb - I always rake them into the middle of a sheet, then fold up the corners, drag it around back, and dump it in either the "mulch pile" (I mow the leaves then add to the compost pile) or the alley. Much easier than bagging. If you must bag, mowing them up with a mulching mower with a bagger makes it a lot easier - also they take up a lot fewer lawn bags when they've been mulched.

No fucking shit. Who the fuck thought him covering "Fooled Around and Fell In Love" was a good idea?

I get waaaaaaay too many leaves to use for mulch. If i didn't rake, they'd cover every inch of my yard up to my hips. Literally. But the county picks them up from the curb and turns them into mulch that anyone in the county can get for free, so it's all good. And, I tell myself that it's as good as a trip to the gym.

dave--I'm also a fan of Van Dyke Parks. I bet he's the only rock'n'roll guy ever to write a song praising J Edgar Hoover (the chorus goes Rat-a-tat-tat Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat).
And I love his production for Bonnie Raitt's Wah She Go Do? from Takin' My Time. Have you ever tried to position a 45 RPM single on a 33 RPM spike without an adaptor? You can never center it quite right and it keeps speeding up and slowing down. That's what this song's loopy rhythm sounds like on purpose.
The Democrats aren't used to power. Can we trust them?
Solving the Great Depression, winning WWII, curing polio, passing the GI Bill and the interstate highway system, stepping foot on the Moon, providing electricity and phone service to rural US regions, protecting retirees from paupership, college degrees and home ownership to those who never imagined it possible, taking the festering civil rights issue in this country head on.
These were all accomplished by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I'm not convinced Democrats can handle federal power in an adult manner.
I do the same thing, Hectate. I mulch a few, but most of my yard is a veggie garden, and I understand too many leaves will overwhelm it. But even though I'm putting the leaves out on the curb ( along with all my green waste from the kitchen), I buy the processed compost back from the city, and the garden explodes with produce. It's a nice little circle of life.

it should be "you're spending billions of your tax dollars...to make drug dealers and actual terrorists richer. and law enforcement more corrupt. and prisons larger and more filled with nonviolent offenders. it's time for a change."
chicago dyke
That's the rational argument, but I'm not sure its ever gonna win against the "Eek, drugs! Bad! The Children!" emotional argument on the other side.
Don't know what will.
Plus, you've got probably the second most powerful industry in the country -- the prison industry -- lined up against you. They've got one very powerful vested interest in keeping those prisons full.
"you're spending billions of your tax dollars...to make drug dealers and actual terrorists richer. and law enforcement more corrupt. and prisons larger and more filled with nonviolent offenders. it's time for a change."
Yeah, and they could make a really good strong law enforcement argument with it. Tell people that if they remove the drug trade from the streets, most violent crime will drop dramatically. And there will be more resources to fight the violence that isn't a result of the drug trade.
There's a lot of crime that police cannot and will not pay any attention to besides to show up and fill out the form for your insurance company. A lot of that is because they just don't have the resources.
It's a win win. There is no downside.
I think it'd make more sense to handle marijuana like we handle beer -- license producers, distributors, & sellers, tax same, put an age limit on it, and let people enjoy it if they like it.

There is no downside.
The downside is to those who now make the beega of the fact that it's illegal.
I think it'd make more sense to handle marijuana like we handle beer -- license producers, distributors, & sellers, tax same, put an age limit on it, and let people enjoy it if they like it.

Shit, they've been known to totally ignore car jackers here. My friend was car jacked 7 or 8 years ago and the police were so bored with the whole thing I couldn't believe it. She was sitting there hysterical, blood pouring down her face from her head, and they were just standing around. Wouldn't even call in the description of the car and the jacker.
It's the knowledge that it has when they leave that's the real bummer
Yes. And I think America's ready for it; I really do. I don't know ANYONE who thinks pot should be criminalized anymore.

They'd figure out some sort of way from preventing us from growing our own. AMD will make billions from GM pot, but you and me will get arrested from growing it in our back yards.
If you don't have a garden, you can still save your organics you have left over like potato peelings, tea bags and coffee grinds. Just keep a small bucket under your sink to dump organics in, and every few days, dump it in a large pot on your pation, and every week or so, keep a large bag of top soil and spread a layer on top. Let the rain and worms do the rest. Makes the best soil for growing anything including vegetables. I have a plastic pot that's the largest they sell at Home Depot for that. I was going to go with a specialized setup for that but this is much cheaper and just as effective.

Good one from Wolcott:
The Democratic rout of the Republicans in the midterms has sent a number of rightwing bloggers reeling into the ropes. Trying to get their bearings, they're showing a bad case of the staggers as they try to answer the ringing noises in their heads. Some whose prognostications went awry are seeking consolation in the enfolding, forgiving arms of Faith. Others are playing the political equivalent to Fantasy Baseball, finding new spots on the roster for Santorum and George Allen (see K'Lo's Klubhouse over at NRO's Corner), with the nuttiest pipe dream proffered by Tammy Bruce, who proposes John Bolton as presidential material for 2008.
But no one's gyroscope has gone screwier than the already wobbly Pamela of Atlas Shrugs. For her, John Bolton, on whom she has a mad pash, is too good to be merely president, only the throne of Aztec Sun God would suffice, and the prospect of him being sent out to pasture, along with the other setbacks of the week, has spun her into a fugue state, capped by a post genocidally titled Death to Germany. So hoarse is Pamela's latest yowl (which she quickly, clumsily retitled Eurabia: Death [Will Come] to Germany) that even some loyal readers fear her transmission is overheating...

Yes, well, there shouldn't be a prison industry. But then, the entire justice system needs serious reform and that's going to have to wait. Again.
I do think it will be legalized eventually and I really didn't mean to say I thought it should be something they are concerned with right now. I don't. Forget that. Let's just stick to the big stuff: corruption and Iraq. Hell, there's more than enough there.
I really do think we're going to be ok, and that we've got time. I really do think the Democrats aren't going to relinquish power again for awhile. The sheer amount of bad shit the Repugs have pulled has completely stripped the party of trustworthiness. For real. There is a poll that says so very clearly.

S.F. assemblyman to propose law barring 49ers from using 'San Francisco' if they move.
Maybe it will be the Santa Clara 49ers after all.
A San Francisco assemblyman announced Friday that he plans to propose a state law banning the 49ers from using the city's name if the team relocates.
Assemblyman Mark Leno said it "feels a bit of a rip-off" for a team to relocate but continue to cash in on the San Francisco name.
"Our city's name has great cachet, it clearly has an economic value to it," Leno said.
John York, 49ers team owner, announced Thursday that the team has abandoned efforts to construct a new stadium in San Francisco and is focusing now on a 55-acre Santa Clara site.
The goal is to construct a state-of-the-art football stadium between the team's Santa Clara headquarters and the Great America theme park by 2012.
The team would continue to be called the San Francisco 49ers, York said.
Not so fast, Leno countered Friday.
San Francisco is internationally famous, one of the world's hottest tourist draws and "should have some control" over use of its name, he said.
Leno's proposal would allow a professional sports franchise located elsewhere to call itself "San Francisco" only if the mayor and the Board of Supervisors authorize use of the name.

From the department of aggressive spin ...
Although some glitz has come off Mr Rove, Republicans have been more eager to blame botched campaigns and individual ethics scandals. “Bob Sherwood’s seat [in Pennsylvania] would have been overwhelmingly ours, if his mistress hadn’t whined about being throttled,” said Mr Norquist. Any lessons from the campaign? “Yes. The lesson should be, don’t throttle mistresses.”
I guess it would at least be a start.

The US ambassador at the UN, John Bolton, described the text as unbalanced and politically motivated.
Ten of 15 Security Council members backed the resolution. Four abstained - Denmark, Japan, Slovakia and the UK."

speaking of cocksuckers, via america blog:
It seems that religious right leader Lou Shelon has some questions to answer, including: Who else among the religious right leaders knew Haggard was gay and did nothing about it?
From Jewish Week, via Talk2Action and dogemperor:
Sheldon disclosed that he and “a lot” of others knew about Haggard’s homosexuality “for awhile ... but we weren’t sure just how to deal with it.”
Months before a male prostitute publicly revealed Haggard’s secret relationship with him, and the reverend’s drug use as well, “Ted and I had a discussion,” explained Sheldon, who said Haggard gave him a telltale signal then: “He said homosexuality is genetic. I said, no it isn’t. But I just knew he was covering up. They need to say that.”
Boy, Lou Sheldon sure is up on his gay code. I didn't realize that people who think being gay is genetic - like, uh, scientists who have actually studied it - are per se all gay because they think it's genetic. What a fascinating man. And a hypocrite.
Crazy ass thought for the day: Just heard a caller on FOX suggest a Giuliani/Lynn Cheney ticket for 08. Cause she did such a good job with Blitzer. Looks like the election pushed some teetering folks completely around the bend.

there is a history of senate dems giving republicans a free pass. when back in the early 90s, the dems were "investigating" if vaccines were cause for gulf war syndrome, dems didn't bother to put anybody under oath. people like general swartzkoff and collin powell were free obfuscate. senator rockefeller, in particular, was noteworthy for failing to respond with tough follow up questions, despite obvious lies from swartzkoff.

I called my local fundie nemesis at Alliance Defense Fund. We both write locally opposing each other. We used to exchange little terse emails. The tone of his emails always suggest I'm "tempting him over to the dark side" of something like Haggard wrote, just by me exchanging comments with him with email. Anyway, I asked him about the election and was it about "values" and since that's not the spin this time, was it about "no values." After years of dealing with these people, I instinctively just say something and hang up in their face. Anways, I told him I planned to return to the pages of my local rags and maybe some gay demostrations. Let ADL spend more money here for nothing. They pay him and many others for just my efforts locally.

Now, Robert -- plum has a point.
No we can't alter human behaviour, but my comment was that it was up to us to make sure corruption doesn't become endemic. Identify it early and get it the fuck outta the party, so it doesn't tarnish the decent men and women trying to do their jobs.
That we can at least help do.

I've said it many times before, but:
I've never done drugs, I have never had the desire to do drugs. I don't understand what the attraction is.
That said, I think the so-called War on Drugs is bullshit.
Legalize the stuff, regulate it,tax it, put the proceeds to good use, put the drug dealers out of business and the crime and violence with decrease.

"Our bodies are meant to be a living sacrifice," write the Hesses. Or, as Mary Pride, in another of the movement's founding texts, The Way Home: Beyond Feminism, Back to Reality, puts it, "My body is not my own." This rebuttal of the feminist health text Our Bodies, Ourselves is deliberate. Quiverfull women are more than mothers. They're domestic warriors in the battle against what they see as forty years of destruction wrought by women's liberation: contraception, women's careers, abortion, divorce, homosexuality and child abuse, in that order.
Fuck off, whackjob.

Point of reference: here I am, a confirmed old heterosexual, albeit a timid and ineffectual one.
But I cannot countenance or fathom the unmitigated preposterous bullshit premise feeding the "debate" about whether gay persons may marry under the law.
The whole issue is pitched by the media as though each of us is a citizen-juror-- which, ipso facto, means an overwhelming majority of straights-- charged to ponder the freaky new question of gay marriage and render a verdict on whether "we" ought to "let" "them" have their marriage.
So the story is mostly just reported as "gay marriage-- the public won't have it". It's such a hot-button issue that politicians won't dare show leadership and address the "tyranny of the majority" embedded in the above-described social fantasy.
We seem stuck in the "separate but equal" rut at best; perhaps further progress is not possible until the younger generation, generally more tolerant of sexual identity, outnumber the permanent anti-gay constituencies, especially opposition based on religious belief.
They're domestic warriors in the battle against what they see as forty years of destruction wrought by women's liberation: contraception, women's careers, abortion, divorce, homosexuality and child abuse, in that order.

teasing, moi? mais non. jamais.
oh, aquatigre, that's just sick. from her link:
But Wolfson, Moore and thousands of mothers like them call themselves and their belief system "Quiverfull." They borrow their name from Psalm 127: "Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate." Quiverfull mothers think of their children as no mere movement but as an army they're building for God.
Quiverfull parents try to have upwards of six children. They home-school their families, attend fundamentalist churches and follow biblical guidelines of male headship--"Father knows best"--and female submissiveness. They refuse any attempt to regulate pregnancy. Quiverfull began with the publication of Rick and Jan Hess's 1989 book, A Full Quiver: Family Planning and the Lordship of Christ, which argues that God, as the "Great Physician" and sole "Birth Controller," opens and closes the womb on a case-by-case basis. Women's attempts to control their own bodies--the Lord's temple--are a seizure of divine power.
barf. i'm just glad studies show a lot of kids from big families turn out to be so different from their parents, as a response to the lack of attention they receive.

I remember investigating a very old graveyard in Nacogdoches, TX (oldest town in Texas) one autumn afternoon.
A family plot told the story of the family. The father outlived two wives (one of whom died in childbirth; the child was there, too) and all of his 7 or so children, including one that died in his 20's.
A sad tale, but not an uncommon one, for 100 or so years ago.
Word. And if they're so damn secure in their choice, they won't need to make everyone else do the same thing to make themselves feel as if they made the right choice.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
If its all about female submissiveness, didn't they by definition *not* make a choice? Wasn't their *choice* forced upon them by that dominant male in their lives?
So how can they talk about movements and activism when they're basically just doing what they're told?
Lately? Overseeing NASA studies, overseeing NIH grants, and overseeing the "reconstruction" of Iraq.
It says that directly:
"After arguing Scripture, the Hesses point to a number of more worldly effects that a Christian embrace of Quiverfull could bring. "When at the height of the Reagan Revolution," they write, "the conservative faction in Washington was enforced [sic] with squads of new conservative congressmen, legislators often found themselves handcuffed by lack of like-minded staff. There simply weren't enough conservatives trained to serve in Washington in the lower and middle capacities." But if just 8 million American Christian couples began supplying more "arrows for the war" by having six children or more, they propose, the Christian-right ranks could rise to 550 million within a century ("assuming Christ does not return before then"). They like to ponder the spiritual victory that such numbers could bring: both houses of Congress and the majority of state governor's mansions filled by Christians; universities that embrace creationism; sinful cities reclaimed for the faithful; and the swift blows dealt to companies that offend Christian sensibilities."

"They're domestic warriors in the battle against what they see as forty years of destruction wrought by women's liberation: contraception, women's careers, abortion, divorce"
Excuse ME for wanting a life of my own.
As for divorce, I suppose these idiots want people who have grown to hate one another to "stay together for the sake of the kids."
Like making children live in a warzone is SO beneficial to them!
So these quivermothers have 15 barely educated brats apiece. They can't all become preachers. How do you suppose the other 14 make a living?
When I was a kid there were some people up the street like this. When the kids finally got out of the house, they both predictably, had severe problems adjusting to normal life.
The repukes always knew they never had anything really to begin with that's why they so quickly fizzeled out and faded into oblivion.

There are so many like that around here where the mother and child died during childbirth. Also, you can see where many escaped the worst of the Civil War as refugees by movning here. They'll list place of birth in Georgia or South Carolina but died here. I think that's what that's about.
When I was a kid there were some people up the street like this. When the kids finally got out of the house, they both predictably, had severe problems adjusting to normal life.

I realise that the dems do not hold sway over foreign policy, but at some point, someone is going to have to have a sit down with the radical islamists. Because at the rate 43 is heading, we will lose this so called WOT. Already, we have no ally that is capable of creating a decisive victory over these people. We are going to have to find some kind of neutral ideology that they and us can come to an agreement to cease hostilities. Preferably before the entire world goes up in flames. Someone is going to have to begin by just raising the point. At some time, we all have to realise that bombs and bullets are not going to solve the problems that both sides percieve as threats. I just hope that this happens soon.

the fundies kids revolt will become an historical event

Long live the PKRAP!
All hail the glorious Preachers Kids Righteously Against Prudes!
You have nothing to lose but your control!
I think the Duggars' oldest girls should be hitting 15 or so now. Are they going to marry them off now?

Did they get their little pink boxes?
I remember seeing Blind Melon's "no rain" video (remember the Bee Girl, who went from place to place trying to find somewhere she fit in, until she came across a meadow filled with other kids in bee suits?) followed by Soul Asylum's "runaway train" video, with all the missing kid posters.
hold on. um, i thought blood was a key element to the, um, process of being something to blow. simels is filled with what? milk? wine? the frothy mix of...no, i won't go there.

i was just quoting him, look:
As I've said before -- if I had blood I'd be blushing.

I tried to be with men, really, for years. and look how that turned out: ruination, depression, despair. shit, my skin even stopped with those annoying pimple
I've been married for 25 years, and all that stuff happens to me. Maybe the problem is being with one man.

Oh, great, that's just what we need. thousands of socially repressed 18 to 20 year olds, moving to "cool" cities just so they can end up crack-whores, and homeless junkies.
I recently read where a lot of porn stars grew up in overly religious homes.
dating to the 1870s & 1880s, where the headstones record birthplaces of Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama - men who came west after the war, to start again - some are recorded as born slaves, died as cowboys....

They have the black rodeo circuit in town here this week. I think people left seeking new frontiers. There's not that old escape for ushere in the New World anymore like that.
Greetings kiddies! Back from the theatre and a film called Babel. Very thought provoking. I just thought there would be answers at the end. Very disappointing that.
"An American Family"
Excellent show. Cinema verite of the dysfuntional but loving American family dynamic. Well worth getting on DVD if that exists, probably not. More like a cappucino-staines but still viewable vhs in some obscure Salvation Army bargain bin by serendipity.
Many folks think that MTV's "Real World" was the forerunner of reality shows.
i just read in one of DC's weekly gay mags that the Mr. Gay American contest included one man who entered the contest just after succeeding in a court case...to preserve his rights to the video in which he is fisting a "real world" member from a few years back.
auggy, would that make a better gift than the bridle? 'cause i think i can get it.
...haloscum is about to get fisted, i'll tell you that...
And Tena, flory, et al-- I heartily agree on the issue of keeping the newly-empowered Democrats from quietly tiptoeing away from confronting the criminal underbelly of the present regime.
Yes, I am going to go berserk about this, possibly getting on everyone's nerves in the process and wearing out my welcome. I'm as passionate about "social justice" as Tena is about "We the People". I truly believe that the transition from the Compassionate State to the Hollow State which began with Reagan, and was not reversed by any succeeding administration, dumped the baby of "social justice" out with the bathwater of "oversized government".
I'll stop as soon as I feel those dried-spit bubbles forming at the corners of my mouth. In the meantime: one of the shucks underpinning the Corporatized Hollow State is that a business model is universal and the one and only approach to managing delivery of services. So things are pretty much organized according to cost/benefit precepts.
And from this perspective, social justice is a money pit. It's not one of those attractive win-win opportunities, such as politicians combining with businesses in some boondoggle. It's about seeking justice for high crimes and misdemeanors on behalf of all of the nameless, faceless citizens who were harmed by the cabal's excesses.
PS: See the “Common Dreams” article “What the Democrats Should Do Now” by Robert B. Reich. http://www.commondreams.org/view...s06/1109-
30.htm
In case you don’t have the time or interest to check it out (like Reich himself, it’s very short), it basically argues that Democrats should accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative now that they’re back in charge of the legislative branch—or the remaining stump of it.
Here’s the gist: “Some Democrats want to expose the malfeasance and nonfeasance of the Bush Administration – find out who really knew what and when with regard to weapons of mass destruction, Abu Graahb, Katrina, payoffs to Abramoff and all the other rot. That’s understandable, but it would be far better if Democrats used their new-found power to lay out a new agenda for America.
There’s no point digging up more dirt.”
This article gave me the whim-whams. It's standard fare from DLC and Clintonista Democrats, IMO.

You don't. Trust me, the older daughters are little mommies to the younger kids by the time they're eight.
i turned gay to celebrate pelosi becoming madam speaker.
jello
You can't. Because if you can turn gay, then its not genetic. And if you believe its not genetic then you're not gay. QED.
flory, keeper of the list
Such a simple concept.
Why don't people get it?
man I'm missing like every third letter. It's been a rough half-decade.
Hello everybody. I've been following the conversation for the last little while, don't have much to add, just saying hello. Happy first post-w-era weekend.
Greeting, rational people.
I see nothing wrong with a big family if its because you like kids and want a houseful,
I know that this is unpopular and will get me flamed, but the Earth can't support large families. There are too many people here. See, e.g., Gaia's Revenge by James Lovelock. I'd like us to find solutions that DON'T involve governmental control, but if that's going to happen, it's going to need to happen globally and quickly, say, in the next 20 years or so.
Molly,
check here for all the latest!
Run NTodd, they're on to ya!

damn you Barry,you made me cough!
Did they get their federally funded little pink boxes?
fixed yer typo.

Not going to happen.
It's conciliatory stuff until the shit hits the fan.
Trust me, the older daughters are little mommies to the younger kids by the time they're eight.
Amen. As the oldest daughter from a large, Catholic family, I have HUGE issues around this. HUGE. It's JUST NOT RIGHT. Those girls deserve childhoods.

Nah, those kids aren't going to start thinking critically at age 20 or 21 or whenever they realize the world doesn't work the way mommy & daddy taught them. They won't have the tools to do any critical thinking -- remember, homeschooled? No, they'll rebel by handing over control to some other authoritarian culture -- a cult, a gang, an abusive marriage, the neo-nazis. The healthier ones will be able to join the military and get some sort of an education, maybe even learn a trade -- but I'm guessing most of them won't have the tools to be able to think through what their parents indoctrinated them with. Jeez.
Shut up liberals.
auggysback
Hey, Auggy.
Great win by Sugar Tits Harris Tuesday night.
that's not a family, it's a cult
One reason Clinton's early years were such a disaster is because there weren't any experienced executive staff around the White House. His staff didn't know how to play the game and they got pwned.
flory
that's being generous. to this day, clinton insists on providing cover for his so called enemies. you know how many speeches he has given? where he rattles off a list of criminal conservapukes, then insists they are all good men who want nothing but the best for the country.
failure to play hardball is a clintonite acolyte trademark. especially visible during the early days of 9/11 and iraq war, when dems didn't even want to talk about holding bush accountable for his failures. you had to drag them kicking and screaming just to get them away from standing shoulder to shoulder with the bastard.
You don't. Trust me, the older daughters are little mommies to the younger kids by the time they're eight.
I actually recommend clicking on the link I provided to Molly; it's incredibly informative, even if it doesn't mean to be.
Amen. As the oldest daughter from a large, Catholic family, I have HUGE issues around this. HUGE. It's JUST NOT RIGHT. Those girls deserve childhoods.

And there are a surprising number of porn stars who say they are Christian, as well.
