GravatarIt's hard to believe the trolls would have the balls to show up here after the "thumping" they took on Nov. 7th.


GravatarThanks, Hecate.


Gravatarahhhhh. fresh thread.


GravatarJanice Karpinski interview translated:
Q: Why do you think things got worse with the arrival of the civilian contractor interrogators?

A: These interrogators had previous experience in Afghanistan and/or Guantanamo, and they were sent by Miller to participate in the interrogations. They didn’t care about the law; they worked in a lawless environment.

Q: Why do you think the orders to practice torture came from all the way up?

A: Because I saw a memorandum signed by Donald Rumsfeld concerning the use of these interrogation methods. The handwritten signature was over his printed name, and in the same handwriting, in the margin, it said: “Make sure that this is carried out.” The methods consisted of forcing the prisoners to remain standing for a long time, disturbing their sleep and their eating patterns, play music as loud as possible, make them feel uncomfortable in their surroundings… Rumsfeld authorized those specific techniques.

Q: Why do you want to testify against Rumsfeld in this trial?

A: I don’t have anything against Rumsfeld. The thing is, I believe that the people who should have shouldered the responsibility for what has happened, haven’t done so. It’s bad to accuse others of something, but to accuse somebody else while knowing he has no blame, while you’re getting away from that responsibility… That, for me, is a sign of cowardice, and that is what I think Sanchez, Rumsfeld and all the others are: cowards. I’m going to keep telling what I know, because the whole world, not just the Americans, has to know what happened, so that it won’t happen again.

Q: Have you received any pressure to not testify?

A: I received an e-mail from someone in the Justice Department, who vividly advised me not to testify, because some might consider it anti-American, and because I wasn’t helping Rumsfeld. I answered that nobody is going to silence me, because I’m protected by the Constitution, and besides, it’s not like Rumsfeld or Sanchez or Miller have done anything to help me.

GravatarI recieved my degree from the original land-grant university.


GravatarMark Danner in Salon:

It is unlikely that the Pentagon's vision of a rapid departure ever could have worked, Bremer or no Bremer. What is striking, however, is the way that the most momentous of decisions were taken in the most shockingly haphazard ways, with the power in the hands of a few Pentagon civilians who knew little of Iraq or the region, the expertise of the rest of the government almost wholly excluded, and the President and his highest officials looking on. In the event, the Bush administration seems to have worked hard to turn Kennan's problem of knowing the facts on its head: the systemic failures in Iraq resulted in large part from an almost willful determination to cut off those in the government who knew anything from those who made the decisions.

It could have been thinner, though. I didn't have milk -- just a small can of unsweetened condensed. Used all of it. Didn't fry enough meat to get enough grease for the amount of pancake mix I used, either.

GravatarQuentin, that sounds almost as bad as one of those KFC bowls.


GravatarMole

14 Pasilla/Ancho chilies: 1,8 lb turkey, cut into serving pieces: 2 oz Corn or vegetable oil: 2 onions, chopped : 4 cloves garlic,chopped : 1/2 tsp Anise : 2 tbsp sesame seeds:
2 tbsp chopped coriander sprigs : 1 stale tortilla or a slice of white toasted bread, cut up: 1 lb tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped: 1 cup flaked, blanched almonds : 1/2 cup seedless raisins: 1/2 tsp ground cloves : 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon: 1/2 tsp ground coriander seeds: 1/2 tsp black peppercorns, ground 1 1/2 oz Mexican chocolate: Salt, to taste
Toast the chilies in a dry frying pan, tear off the stems and shake out the seeds. Tear them into pieces and pit into a bowl with hot water to cover and soak for 30 minutes. Put the turkey pieces into a large, heavy pan, cover with cold, salted water and simmer, covered for 1 hour. Drain, reserving the stock. Pat the turkey pieces dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and saute the turkey pieces, a few at a time, until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer to a large flame proof casserole, reserving the oil. In a food processor combine the onions, garlic, half of the sesame seeds, the fresh coriander, the tortilla or toast, the tomatoes, the almonds, raisins, cloves, cinnamon, coriander seeds and peppercorns and chillies and process to a coarse puree. If necessary do this in batches. Heat oil remaining in the frying pan, adding 1 tablespoon if necessary and cook the puree, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the reserved turkey broth, the chocolate broken into pieces, and salt if necessary. Cook, stirring, over very low heat until the chocolate has melted. The sauce should be quite thick. Pour the sauce over the turkey pieces in the casserole and cook over the lowest possible heat for 30 minutes. Just before serving sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds. Serve with tamales or with hot tortillas, and guacamole.
(Using Hershey's chocolate bars with almonds works very well. Serving over rice works very nicely too. Also, with leftover turkey, just make the mole and add the cooked turkey later.)

GravatarJeff changed the oil in the scooter, today. It was easy, and messy, and fun!

Jeff had to use the thinkbone, 'cause after the old oil was drained, he realized two things: 1.) The oil fill was perched at an odd angle, centimeters from the glowing hot exhaust manifold; 2.) no available funnel.

Playwright-lyricist (and occasional performer) Betty Comden has died at the age of 89. Working together with her partner, the late Adolph Green, she gave us a stunning array of stage musicals and motion pictures. The list includes On the Town, Wonderful Town, Peter Pan, Bells Are Ringing, Applause, Do-Re-Mi, Subways Are For Sleeping, The Will Rogers Follies, On the Twentieth Century, Good News, The Band Wagon and Singin' in the Rain.

GravatarMy sister was kind enough to send me home with the drumstick & thigh I didn't eat on Thanksgiving.

So I am going to buy a tub of Bob Evans mashed potatoes, which look and taste reasonably homemade, and I already got a quart of tasty turkey gravy at the local Colonial Market.

GravatarMICHAEL WARE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (last night): Well, firstly, let me say, perhaps it's easier to deny that this is a civil war, when essentially you live in the most heavily fortified place in the country within the Green Zone, which is true of both the prime minister, the national security adviser for Iraq and, of course, the top U.S. military commanders. However, for the people living on the streets, for Iraqis in their homes, if this is not civil war, or a form of it, then they do not want to see what one really looks like.

This is what we're talking about. We're talking about Sunni neighborhoods shelling Shia neighborhoods, and Shia neighborhoods shelling back.

We're having Sunni communities dig fighting positions to protect their streets. We're seeing Sunni extremists plunging car bombs into heavily-populated Shia marketplaces. We're seeing institutionalized Shia death squads in legitimate police and national police commando uniforms going in, systematically, to Sunni homes in the middle of the night and dragging them out, never to be seen again.

I mean, if this is not civil war, where there is, on average, 40 to 50 tortured, mutilated, executed bodies showing up on the capital streets each morning, where we have thousands of unaccounted for dead bodies mounting up every month, and where the list of those who have simply disappeared for the sake of the fact that they have the wrong name, a name that is either Sunni or Shia, so much so that we have people getting dual identity cards, where parents cannot send their children to school, because they have to cross a sectarian line, then, goodness, me, I don't want to see what a civil war looks like either if this isn't one.

GravatarDavid Sirota:
Oh Bobby, Where Art Thou?

I just returned from seeing the new movie “Bobby” about RFK. It was a very rich, textured movie, and one that left me with an incredibly empty feeling. I wasn’t around back then, but from what I can tell as an amateur student of history and political junkie is that, at least at the end of his life, RFK managed to inspire people; to make them feel like the day-to-day issues they faced were finally being confronted by the political Establishment; and to let them know that politics could be an arena where citizens - regular citizens - could be part of something larger than themselves. He did this by using the celebrity power that came with his family name to shine a bright light on the taboos the Establishment back then and now would rather sweep under the rug: war and economic inequality.

those were Sirota's words. I, too, saw "Bobby" last night and was moved to tears by his words (his speeches are shown throughout the movie) and the news footage too).

RFK and MLK were my idols - no question!! they inspired me - they had a profound influence on my life and continue to when you think about it.

But I had the same question coming out of the theatre that Sirota asks - Where is the next Bobby Kennedy?

Choose Page Attributes from the Setting pop-up menu.
Choose Any Printer from the Format For pop-up menu. This ensures that your document can print on any printer that supports the paper size you select.

Not the Senate, almost certainly. I don't know of anyone right now who has that kind of charisma and power. Certainly no one who is that young. Maybe it will be a woman, when it happens again.

Weighed against their own votes to impeach and convict him, and against their promises to clean up the corrupt Congress, those claims will count for nothing.

Gravatarsan fran,

how much do part-time tutors make?


GravatarI got the christ part for sure: some people believe it's this guy Jesus' birthday. The 'mas' I guessed might come from 'mass' which is what the church service is called, but I wasn't sure.

Sure it is. Attached to all of the old high feast days. Xmas being the only one to be widely remembered. Hallowmas, or All Saints' Day, possibly being another if you consider Hallowe'en.


Gravatar2. It makes liberals feel good, even if it doesn't make a difference.

conservatives thrive on being mean-spirited and greedy. stingy is only a start. conservatives only give to charity if there's a fat write-off, and if their names are published. conservatives are well behind on the evolutionary road.

Yes.

Gravatari'm not a fan, but really: is there a difference between eating the intestinal skin, brains, thighs, heart or rump of an animal? you're eating flesh, after all. what kind you like best is up to you. i love roe, for example, and i love mignon. i also love gravy, which i make from scratch from boiled innards. and then there are eggs. as i recently heard in a movie: "shot straight from a chicken's ass!" except, they're not...it's "worse."

if you eat animal protein, you eat flesh. blood. guts. parts. whatever. if you don't, you don't. as my mother says: we're omnivores. we've got teeth to rip flesh apart, and teeth to grind down plant fiber. we're meant to be flexible, in our eating habits, the better to survive. obviously, it's helped. what any person chooses in a modern (you don't hunt/grow/kill/process your own food) age chooses is completely arbitrary. what you eat is what you eat, what it means is ideology.

Gravatari lurv me some Boo:

Moreover, in what universe did the Democrats win election by nudging towards the center? The Dems ran on universal health care, fair-trade agreements, closing the Medicare D donut hole, standing up to the pharmaceutical and energy industries, and ending the war in Iraq. Of all the planks of the winning Democratic campaign platform, about the only centrist things they ran on were cutting interest rates on student loans and raising the minimum wage. Those aren't really centrist planks, they are more like consensus planks that have the potential to gain Republican support.
---
So now people like George Miller, John Conyers, Barney Frank, et al., are going to 'destabilize' the Democratic Party? We just had 12 years in the wilderness running on centrist crap like school uniforms, experimenting with school vouchers, mending affirmative action, punitive welfare reform, ending bankruptcy protections, NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA, the effing lockbox, etc. What did it get us but 12 years in the wilderness?
---
You'd think we spent all that time in the minority because Clinton tried to get health care for everyone and stop bigotry against gays in the military. It's like triangulation never happened. We lost in 1994 because of what we were before 1994, not because of what we were after it. And we lost after 1994 because of what we were after it, not because of what we were before it.
---
Bill Clinton wanted to save his own ass, that is why he ran to the center. The party followed him into the abyss, abandoning populist politics and with it, any appeal to the lower middle class.

Clinton's centrism left the south free of Democrats. We have made up for it in some of the northern suburbs, but that has been greatly aided by the fundamentalist lurch of the GOP.
----
Jim Webb and Jon Tester ran populist campaigns and won. Harold Ford ran a centrist campaign and lost. That's the lesson folks. Who do you think Jon Tester has more in common with? Joe Lieberman and Harold Ford or George Miller and Russ Feingold?
Idiots.

GravatarDoesn't everybody have raw blood on tap while growing up? Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it. Or the fact that my grandparents on both sides were cousins.

Echidne of the snakes


There *were* bottles in the cabinet the children weren't allowed to touch...

And my grandparents were cousins or second cousins or something...

Not uncommon in small villages in Yurp....


GravatarWe were too poor to have taps.

GravatarIt was seeing animals slaughtered on the farm for me. I could see it was brutal and cruel and I didn't want any part of it.

i had the opposite reaction. i think perhaps because i loved grandpa so much, and he carefully explained it to me, as tears welled up in my eyes to see the cows slaughtered. he avoided most of the biblical language, but told me of our duty as 'husbands of the earth' and keepers of the lesser animals. i was given to understand that it was more humane to slaughter a cow in a quick, human fashion (we cut throats) after an easy, carefree life, than to let it starve most its life only to be mauled to death after being chased down by wolves.

that could be total bullshit, but to this day, it's how i think of farming/ranching. the vast majority of the herd lives on another day, and we only take what we need, and kill them quickly and cleanly, and without waste or malice. at least, that's how it was on our ranch/farm. industrial farms don't count.

It's a time- and majority-white-jury-honored tradition.
