Looks like Bob Rae will be the king maker. Third vote looks like Ignatieff, Dion, Rae, in that order. Rae has a choice of either sending his delegates up to one of the others, or freeing them up to vote as they please. It all comes down to the perception Plum was talking about earlier-- how much does Quebec really hate Dion.
Personally, I think Dion would make a great PM, but the numbers may not be there.
The other issue is that if Ignatieff and Rae, old roommates and college buddies, end up supporting each other, it really looks like the Liberals are the party of elitism.
I fucking hate Ignatieff.

A funny split pea soup story. When my eldest son was about 13-14 months old, my husband had poured some hot split pea soup into the blender to puree it. I was standing in the kitchen holding my son letting him watch the blender. After about 10 seconds the lid flew off the container and pea soup flew out onto the counter, the walls, the stove, the floor. We were all in shock until my son said, "Pea soup everywhere." Then we burst into laughter.

Dusty Springfield sang, "Something's happening here," but who was it that sang,"We've got to get out of this place?"
Cuz BUFFALO Springfield sang for "What It's Worth," which is where the line comes from.
The Animals "We Gotta Get Outta....." which is an up from the bad neighborhood song and would be a Vietnam song at only a very long stretch. Plus, it came out in 65 which was a bit before the anti-war movement would have been popular enough to produce Top 40 hits by British invasion bands.

Sounds like there's plenty cooking today. I just got back from an amazingly huddled masses-free trip to the Berkeley Bowl, with around $300 in groceries. Usually its a mind-boggling scrum there on Saturday morning, but today it was virtually deserted. Alex and I had the run of the place. I guess the combination of a Cal home game and mild, sunny weather made everybody decide to put their shopping off. Usually that also means there's no checkers either, but they must have cracked down or something.
Anyhow, I got 5 pounds of country style ribs to marinate for Chinese BBQ pork tomorrow, a 2 pound boneless pork loin roast for wienerschnitzel tonight, and a nice corned beef brisket for later in the week. Might just have to invite somebody over, if we can get the whole tree thing out of the way in a timely fashion.

I find it hard to hate Evan Dando, even though he didn't give us our money's worth that night.
Anywho, years later I learned my that my wife (long before I knew her) also saw that tour, although she was a pert college student at the time. They thought Redd Kross sucked. "Are you kidding?" I said. "The Lemonheads shouldn't have even been the top bill on that tour."
would be a Vietnam song at only a very long stretch.
except that it was played alot by guys over there...the refrain was compelling, no matter that it seemed to be sung to a girl...everyfuckingbody felt like that: We GOTTA Get OUTTA This PLACE!!!
and iirc it shows up blaring out from the swift-boat scenes in Apocalypse Now, too...

The Animals' "Sky Pilot" was all about cardinal spellman of NYC who would bless the planes before they were used to drop bombs and napalm on Vietnamese men, women and children.
Got that on my IPod, listened to that song yesterday. Wikipedia has an interesting write up on the song. Odd thing, when I was at the park yesterday, some of the fighter jockies flew over. They where in the missing man formation, maybe in deference to the pilot that crashed in Iraq last week.
Eric Burdens version of "ring of fire" is interesting too (from the animals).

After the American Revolution, he returned to his homeland, what was then the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1791 the Poles adopted their celebrated May Constitution—Europe’s first codified national constitution (and the second oldest in the world, after our own.) The May Constitution established political equality between the middle class and the nobility and also partially abolished serfdom by giving civil rights to the peasants, including the right to state protection from landlord abuses. The autocrats and nobles of Russia feared such reforms, and in 1794, when the Russians sought to prevent their spread by partitioning the Commonwealth, Kosciuszko led an insurrection. His untrained peasant forces were armed mostly with single-blade sickles, but they won several early battles in fierce hand-to-hand fighting, until they were finally overwhelmed. Badly injured, Kosciuszko was taken prisoner and held for two years in St. Petersburg, and that was the end of the Polish Commonwealth, which had stood, by the way, as one of Europe’s leading centers of religious liberty.
It's a neverending fight. Justice doesn't just happen, and most of the world seems to be allied against it. It's a miracle the idea ever came into being, and it's a miracle every time people stand up and fight for it.

Heat the yolk/acid mixture to a temperature of 150F (65.6C). This will take about 1 minute. The mixture must be stirred or whisked constantly and the temperature measured frequently by using a tip-sensitive thermocouple thermometer (such as the Atkins 33040). The thermocouple can be taped to the wire whip to give continuous temperature as the mixture is stirred. When a temperature of 150F (65.6C) is reached, immediately remove the pan containing the yolk/acid mixture from the hot-water heat source. Cool the egg mixture to room temperature [

you can buy it canned, or dried. it's basically hominy. the authentic stuff has the corn husk removed by a lye-soak...then it's dried. the amount of time preparation depends on whether you buy the hominy canned or dry, cuz if dry, you hafta soak it...

Barry;
from Molly Ivins;
'Since he brought it up, it's worth taking a look at Bush's picks for the state Supremes, since they do tell us rather a lot about his taste in judges.
Fans of the arcane sport of electing judges in Texas know that the process offers an abundance of frisks and jollifications. Who can forget the time we accidentally elected the Wrong Don Yarbrough? (The Wrong Don, who later became a felon on the lam, claimed that he won because God told him to run; this caused political cartoonist Ben Sargent to draw God on a cloud, looking harassed, saying, "Yeah, but I thought he was the Other Don Yarbrough.")'
The drugs in "White Rabbit" were what enabled you to ignore the "Men on the chessboard, when they tell you where to go!"
And "Feed your head!" was more a ringing statement of defiance to the authorities than anything else.

Chas Chandler made major contributions to 1960s British rock as a musician, producer, and manager. He was the bass player for the original Animals, in the lineups that were most responsible for their greatest material. He made a greater impact, though, as co-manager and producer of the Jimi Hendrix Experience from 1966 to 1968,

blerb - those are -dried- red chiles. Me, I mostly use green however.
I knew that! (sniffs defensively, lower lip trembling). When I make tamale gravy or chile colorado, before I throw the dried red chiles (3/4 ancho, 1/4 New mexico) in the pot I briefly toast them on a really hot dry cast iron pan, so as to get that yummy toasted chile flavor. I though tthat was the standard procedure, and it seemed like that would work well for pozole, too.
So, if you're using green chiles, what kind do you use, and do you roast them first?

Did I every tell you bats my theory about Bush and the national guard?
One of planes he landed got messed up because he landed poorly and was either drunk or high. The damage was fixed and the incident was covered up. The plane might even have been totalled and taken out of service. I say this because this was one of the rumors that people were asking him about. Bushes response "Where's the evidence?" to the question about a crashed plane.
In my fevered pre-2004 mind I would have loved to track the history of all the planes he flew. What happened to them? When did they leave service? What happened to the one he flew right before he stopped flying? Maintance records?
But nobody would care. Or I would be "quieted".

spocko - Re Bush and TANG - I was telling some people the other day that I just found out one of my MIL's best friends for over forty years was married to the guy (now deceased) that trained Bush to fly, and was one of his CO's.
She had no idea of my politics, and the subject came up in a indirect way when I was asking her about a building by my house named for her husband.
Anyway, she told me her husband had never mentioned to her a bad word about Bush, and I think she would have told me if he had. My take is he was a decent pilot for the first year or two, got hooked up with all the coke and partying in Houston, and then made some kind of flying mistake that scared the piss out of him. Daddy got wind, and pulled his ass out of TANG pronto and sent him up to help in that guys campaign.

although Hendrix had written little or no songs previously and wanted to do a cover tune (Chandler honestly remembered that he also wanted to make sure Hendrix got some publishing royalties). Partially as a result of the books in Chandler's apartment, particularly the science fiction ones, Hendrix's lyrics took on a poetic and cosmic influence.
that's most interesting. i don't think hendrix was a dylan, but some mighty interesting lyrics.
i hate to say it, but i imagine 'masters of war' sums it all up. they'll just keep lying about how "a world war can be won" and "fasten all the triggers", the best one can hope for is to piss on their graves.

Would you believe her parents tried to FORCE her into becoming a nun?
They're these really brainwashed Catholic types who thought having a daughter in the convent would guarantee them a place in heaven.
Never mind that the daughter had NO interest in becoming a nun.

Chris/tx Very interesting. Of course a flying mistake that doesn't result in damage isn't anything you would prove unless you had records. Too bad they disappeared or were classified.
Plus as we all know being "born again" means anything you did 40 years ago didn't count. Of course it counts for Kerry but he wasn't born again and his slate wasn't wiped clean.

spocko - Part of the reason I say that (my theory) is that I briefly took flying lessons in the late seventies when all the instructors where ex Vietman era pilots. Those guys loved to fly.
But look at Bush, he became a pilot in one of the harder planes to learn to fly, and then basically walked away from flying. I've only heard one instance of him flying after TANG, and that was in Midland where he scared the shit out of his passenger. People don't learn to fly, and then just walk away from it for good. Whatever happened to him must have been a doozy for him to just basically quit.

Is Tena around?
Just read a NYT review of the song 50 Shots, thought she might be interested:
At midnight on Thursday night, listeners who were tuned into the New York hip-hop radio station Hot 97 got a bracing surprise. Over some familiar strings, a voice said, “R.I.P. to Sean Bell,” the black man who was killed by the police in Queens early Saturday morning. “R.I.P. to Kathryn Johnston,” he continued, naming the 88-year-old woman who was killed by the police in Atlanta last week. “R.I.P. to Amadou Diallo,” he said naming the African immigrant who was shot by the police in the Bronx in 1999. “The list goes on. A change gon’ come.”
The voice belonged to Papoose, a rapper from Brooklyn whose new song, “50 Shots,” is a furious — and surprisingly detailed — response to the shooting of Mr. Bell.
[snip]
Papoose’s song uses a sample of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come.” Near the beginning, he says, “Make the whole hood feel sad, it’s sadness/But we feel mad — it’s madness.” Then he delves into the details.
He assails the officers by name: “Mike Oliver said his gun jammed, he the main one/12-year veteran and don’t know how to use a gun.”
He paraphrases the Police Department’s Patrol Guide: “The law states a cop is not permitted to shoot at a moving car.” (That’s true, unless the officer is responding to some “deadly physical force” besides the car itself.)
[snip]
Papoose even finds time to respond to a column by John Podhoretz from Tuesday’s New York Post; this is a rhyme that sometimes feels more like a vituperative blog entry.

I think that the hippies are themselves directly responsible for what they call the police state: since they only believe, at most, in a passive national defense and anti-terrorist policy, they make it necessary to spy on people living in America.
If they believed instead in a proactive and interventionist security posture, we could probably dispense with a lot of the inconveniences here at home.

The Court also said it would rule on whether taxpayers may sue to challenge the White House program of promoting federal aid to religious "faith-based" organizations. And it accepted a test case on whether government employees doing their official duties are subject to damage lawsuits under the RICO anti-racketeering law or under the Constitution.
In each of the cases, the Court's order spelled out a shortened briefing schedule that will have the final briefs submitted by Feb. 16 -- time enough to be argued during the Court's February sitting, which concludes on Feb. 28. Ordinarily, a briefing schedule allows for 115 days in total; under the orders issued Friday, all briefing in each of the new cases must be completed in a total of 78 days. Because two of the new cases are appeals by the federal government, experienced counsel in the office of the U.S. Solicitor General will be under the heaviest pressure to prepare. In the third case, the initial brief also is to be filed by an experienced advocate, former U.S. Solicitor General (and former federal judge and Whitewater prosecutor) Kenneth W. Starr.

so.
There was a special election ordered by the court which redrew the districts, which was held concurrent with the General Election on Nov. 7. The special election was open to just about anyone who filed for the seat. There were 8 candidates, Bonilla was first with 48.60% and Rodriguez had almost 20%. See this report from the Texas Secretary of State, scroll down to U.S. Representative District 23.
The election that will be held on December 12 is the runoff. I think it's winnable, but there's no denying that Rodriguez is fighting an uphill battle. It will be a low turnout election, so turning out voters will be the key.

so.
There was a special election ordered by the court which redrew the districts, which was held concurrent with the General Election on Nov. 7. The special election was open to just about anyone who filed for the seat. There were 8 candidates, Bonilla was first with 48.60% and Rodriguez had almost 20%. See this report from the Texas Secretary of State, scroll down to U.S. Representative District 23.
The election that will be held on December 12 is the runoff. I think it's winnable, but there's no denying that Rodriguez is fighting an uphill battle. It will be a low turnout election, so turning out voters will be the key.

One more thing that I have to say about the Texas District 23 race is the the 6 Democrats in the race got just about the same number of votes as the 1 Republican in the race. If Rodriguez can pick up the voters for the other Democratic candidates, and convince them to turn out, he has a decent chance.

He lives by a strict code and never deviates from his rules, foremost of which is that he never robs or menaces people who are not involved in the drug trade (In the courtroom in Season 2, Omar claims "I never put my gun on no citizen").

Historians are loath to predict the future. It is impossible to say with certainty how Bush will be ranked in, say, 2050. But somehow, in his first six years in office he has managed to combine the lapses of leadership, misguided policies and abuse of power of his failed predecessors. I think there is no alternative but to rank him as the worst president in U.S. history.

He reminds me of a guy I knew in college - start with the ideology that he finds appealing, fair enough, but then seek out only confirming facts to support it, make up some when none are handy, and ignore or defame inconveniently contradictory information, even and especially when challenged with it. If it weren't for cognitive dissonance he'd have no cognitions at all.

Billy B.
And if you were more succesful money-wise you would be a "limosine libral" so easily spit out by Rush.
And JeffCo. I totally hear you on that kind of guy. That is one of the best thing about my 9 years of Jesuit education. I felt that it constantly reminded to me to avoid falling into self reinforcing information especially if by obseration and evidence it can be proved wrong.
In the PR Spin biz you look at the disaster and say, "How can we turn this to make it GOOD news?"
In pundit world it is, How can I deny reality and not get caught. And if I do get caught ignore, deny, spin and lie.
Specifically I have an example of the last one. Melanie Morgan said.
"We've got a bull's-eye painted on [Pelosi's] big, wide laughing eyes"
Not once but twice.
And then when she got caught (by me) which she ignored then by media matters (which she ignored) and then by Keith Olbermann she pretended she never said the word Bull's-eye.
Then when she got called on THAT non-apology (by someone I don't know who, it certainly wasn't her husband the GM or the president of the station) she gave another non-apology pretending she was having a tiff with Keith Olberman and not saying
"We've got a bull's-eye painted on [Pelosi's] big, wide laughing eyes"
And days later "it's time to put the bull's-eye on her."
And who lets her get away with this?
DISNEY! I guess you really CAN mess with the Mouse!

Damn IT! That was me. Fraking REAL scroll trolls mess it up for us regular folks. That was a brilliant post (no biofuel mentioned though)
Frak. That'll teach me.
It was about Melanie Morgan and her lying about saying, "We've got a bull's-eye painted on [Pelosi's] big, wide laughing eyes" on the radio. She said it not once but twice on two different days. DeLay agrees that "it's time to put the bull's-eye on her {Pelosi}"
I busted her, Media Matters Busted her and she ignored us. Keith Olbermann busted her basted on my clips and she pretended she didn't say it. Then when someone busted her (not her husband the GM or the President of the station Mr.HotTalk Himself Mickey Luckoff) she gave another non-apology pretending she was just having a tiff with Keith Olbermann. She didn't mention the word "bullseye" which shows me she knows EXACTLY what she is talking about and was coached not to say it again.
Republican's if you are rich and evil you are one of them. If you are rich they assume you must be evil or else they will call you a "Limousine Liberal" as if they can't conceive of anyone who is rich not to be a selfish jerk like them with their own politics. I know lots of rich democrats. But I'm not one of them.
