You put mine and others children in harms way and they are getting killed in droves you stupid fucking bitch! Now walk away or I'll cram that stupid fucking empty head of yours up your stupid fucking ass!"

A racist isn't a generally good egg; neither is a misogynist. Incognito is both, and proud of it.
her sexuality is in flux, and she fights anxiety and depression. The first of these is no problem for us, but I worry that the latter mean they're a problem for her.
I don't have children, so I can only imagine how difficult it is for you to worry about her potential depression. But I know you've spoken of her sexuality in the past — and having gone through a difficult period in my teens and early 20s regarding sexuality and depression, myself, I can say that I think it would have been easier if my parents had allowed me to openly experiment in the way you seem to allow her to. I don't want to make assumptions about either of you, but I believe from reading your posts here that you give her space to think about who she might become, an ear to talk about it if she chooses to, and a strong model to follow. Each of those comforts is considerable and important.
Some of that potential depression is probably the traditional angst that comes with being her age; but I think you're wise to keep in your heart and mind her specific struggle around sexuality. If I can help in any way, please just ask.

The other Brutus (the ancestor, not the one who killed Caesar) was an honorable man: he loved Roman representative democracy to the point of killing his own son when he threatened it. Can you imagine anyone in the American elite doing so? GHWB daring to criticize Commander Cuckoobananas is about as close as you'd see.

The other victim, Anat Elimelech, had one bullet in her. It is not clear which person pulled the trigger. The incident sends the Israeli media into a tizzy.

Q. We now see that the big winner in the invasion of Iraq is Iran. How do the Arab states, especially in Saudi Arabia, feel about the creation of a Shi’ite Islamic regime in Iraq? Are they arming the Sunnis who are attacking the Shi’a?
A. Evidently the Saudis, the Jordanians and a few Sunni families of the Gulf petromonarchies are worried by what is going on in Iraq. The idea of seeing what King Abdallah II of Jordan calls a “Shi’ite crescent” forming in the region worries everyone, particularly all the Sunni regimes. Because all these countries have within their borders more or less significant Shi’a minorities with issues. If you take a look at a map of the Gulf today, you will notice that the petroleum reserves in Saudi Arabia and in all the neighboring oil producing countries have Shi’a minorities. Are Arab nations arming or financing the Sunni insurrection in Iraq? No one knows the answer to that question. There countries insist that they do not. But at the same time, all the Sunni autocrats in the region, beginning with Saudi Arabia, let it clearly be known that should the civil war worsen, they will not stand by.
But what can Saudi Arabia do, given the state of its military?

Many people in my position would think my cat's coming to me because she loves me. Well, she likes me, and she is attached, but she comes to me when she wants to be fed. And after I feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. She's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. She's actually a very smart cat. She gets loved. She gets adoration. She gets petted. She gets fed. And she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why I say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life. But we put voices in their mouths.

Touché.
Q. Is there really an exodus of Iraqis towards neighboring states? Is there a risk of a humanitarian crisis?
A. The exodus is quite real. It is estimated that there are 800 thousand Iraqis in Syria, 500 or 600 thousand in Jordan and at least 100 thousand in the UAE. And we’re only speaking of those who are officially registered. The United Nations estimates that in 2004, more than 2 million Iraqis left the country in order to survive. The worst of it is that the refugees represent the country’s social, economic and political elite.

He had a real obsession for blondes. It proved to be a real problem for Tippi Hedren, who was in "the Birds" and "Marnie". He ultimately tried to destroy her career...
Although Hitchcock continued to have Hedren in mind for several other films after Marnie, the actress had become increasingly uncomfortable with his possessive manner and she flatly declined any further work with him. Other directors who wanted to hire her had to go through Hitchcock, who would inform them she was unavailable. "It grew to be impossible. He was a very controlling type of person, and I guess I'm not about to be controlled," said Hedren, who bought out her contract. Ending their professional relationship on a sour note, she recalled, "He said, 'Well, I'll ruin your career.' And he did."[5]

Hitchcock was heavily infatuated with many of his female stars, but Janet Leigh was not one of them. The two had a cordial, professional relationship.
He exhibitted sadism toward, and suffered romantic humiliation with Tippy Hedrin.
He was deeply hurt by the rejection of Vera Miles, who he wanted to mold in his image of perfection.
He possessed a distant, unrequited love for both Ingrid Bergman and Grace Kelly, but his knowledge that this couldn't be realized nipped the obsession in the bud.
He played Pygmalion to Kim Novak in "Verigo," the film, but not in real life.

Teaching in pain each day and spending my off hours sleeping and taking drugs to do it again are hardly rational steps.

Yet another Republican pedophile:
Larry Corrigan, a well-known activist in local Republican politics as a backer of U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert and King County Prosecuting Attorney Norm Maleng, was arrested Wednesday in an Internet sting for allegedly trying to arrange sex with a 13-year-old girl.

What about developing an online course - you could teach via webcam. Talk to NTodd - he's set them up.
Webcams! Online teaching at the college level means using the platform the college has adopted; I've used WebCT and LotusNotes and am given to know I'll soon have to learn Angel, whatever the hell that is.
Webcams not necessary. If NTodd is using them, well, he ought to be prevented from doing so, as that would be alarming for all concerned.

So Bill O'Reilly thinks it's "fascism" for an employer to order an employee to do something (or conversely, not do something)--as in wishing customers a Merry Christmas? Assuming it were true--and it's not--nobody's forcing the employees who disagree with such a policy to work there. "Fascism" is when "Merry Christmas" is forbidden with the threat of death or imprisonment.
And basically, the entire right-wing blowhard community is going to ride Keith Ellison until he's no longer in public office, eh? If he votes in favor of habeas corpus for terrorism suspects, they're going to accuse him of treason.

The one thing you've ever said that I even slightly agree with you on, at least in principle.
However, when people are freaked out by something their first inclination is to talk about it. You do the same thing. You are veritable fountain of negativity and bad vibes at times -- specifically, at those times when something frightens you, shocks you, or disgusts you.

Get this, I tell my Insurance agent that her office, once a rented home, was where a couple I knew lived.
When the air base was open, they lived here.
He was a homemaker hubbie, had a comics collection and all kinds of costumes.
Several Rocky Horror characters, all of the Kiss outifts. He'd dress up as Riff-Raff and go to the nearby University town screenings of Rocky Horror.
Anyways the insurance Co. is having a "House Party" next week. Got the notice right after our last talk about my old role playing friends...

Yes, but then, I have quite the imagination. For instance, I imagine that had I behaved that way for years (or so my friends would have told me), that I'd either seek the help the suggested, or I'd find some new friends who were more fucked up than I am so's I wouldn't hear about it all the time.

Through all the arguing over the c-word, Atrios never banned me, so, apparently, he didn't feel it rose to that level, but you do.
However, hanging a sign around your neck, reading, "WARNING: Emotional Leech" will, by-and-large, be welcomed by the community, so as to warn others not to be suckers for your bullshit.

morning, all.
Seems like a good moment to mention that at WaPo, the editorial section is a collection of offerings on Bush as Worst President Ever. There's even one from Director of the Roosevelt Center at Tulane, Doug Brinkley, trying to be kind;
'There isn't much that Bush can do now to salvage his reputation. His presidential library will someday be built around two accomplishments: that after 9/11, the U.S. homeland wasn't again attacked by terrorists (knock on wood) and that he won two presidential elections, allowing him to appoint conservatives to key judicial posts. I also believe that he is an honest man and that his administration has been largely void of widespread corruption. This will help him from being portrayed as a true villain.
This last point is crucial. Though Bush may be viewed as a laughingstock, he won't have the zero-integrity factors that have kept Nixon and Harding at the bottom in the presidential sweepstakes.'
But all are happily pointing out that this is a monumental failure. And the cretin in chief is reprehensible;
'Harding and Coolidge are best remembered for the corruption of their years in office (1921-23 and 1923-29, respectively) and for channeling money and favors to big business. They slashed income and corporate taxes and supported employers' campaigns to eliminate unions. Members of their administrations received kickbacks and bribes from lobbyists and businessmen. "Never before, here or anywhere else," declared the Wall Street Journal, "has a government been so completely fused with business." The Journal could hardly have anticipated the even worse cronyism, corruption and pro-business bias of the Bush administration.'
Dude, I can count on one finger the people who will offer any positive words your direction, other than pity, that remain here, in December, 2006. Hey, if you see 'em, maybe they're real -- but I don't think you know which way the wind is blowin'.

and Jeffraham, it saw the celebrations and joy when it left, which is why it's back with all of its sockpuppets. it can't stand to see other people happy in a community, because of its own incapacity for such.
It tears it up inside to see how people love you and curly and despise it. And it fights back to cause trouble out of its hatred of its own social perversion... and then feeds on the responses to bolster its feelings of indignity and social perversion.

Entrepreneurship and forging successful human relationships and a web of positive human interactions is a success in itself, even if the monetary side doesn't become Bill Gates.
But our emotional vampire is completely incapable of forging a positive human relationship, which forces it to try and make people feel bad, because that's the only thing it's ever been moderately successful at.

Prof. Brinkley,
Your assumption that George W. Bush is honest, in background of your summation of the ongoing quagmire, renders people with no choice but to consider you at best, an opportunist.
We could list numerous instances of convictions and scandals, multitudes of blood of and treasure squandered, as examples.
Let me instead make this brief.
Douglas Brinkleys statement that George Bush is honest, should be placed forever in proximity to Karl Roves scandalous role directing Katrina relief. Both leave persons drowning(literally) in irony.

What you see here is an excerpt of a graphic created by my new friend, Trozdol, whom I met at Cafe Coco a couple of weeks ago. He's an art student, who also has a part-time gig at CompUSA locally, and I commissioned him to do this graphic for my "coming soon" community resource web site that will be tied to my condo community, and to local businesses in the 37209 zip code. Being an enterprising young man, he said he would accept a Curly DVD and 2% of my gross receipts for as long as I use the graphic, minimum of 90 days use. Is that great, or what?

It is important to remember that this is because our dreams have systematically been stolen at least since JFK was killed by the same gang. Most of America is now waking up to this, due in large part to our efforts, she is pissed. Constitutional democracy is fragile in one sense, but highly resilient and resistant to tyrrany in another. The simple fact is that every minute there are less and less Republicans believing in or even able to have any basis to believe in the lies they have been spoonfed for so many years.

I dunno, Truth, it seems to me that we no longer look at addressing problems, we just look for ways to save the things that work.
We have killed unions (pretty much)
We are not really discussing Nationalized Health Care seriously.
Our Defense industry is still controlling our government.
Inequalities are not being pointed out with an eye to addressing the injustice, instead we address the simplest ideas (and most worthwhile) with a wistful eye. (An example of this is education: we no longer think in terms of ideology, we want measureable results and don't want to spend any money to achieve them.)
The gap between those who have and those who need has become a chasm and we are not addressing closing it. . . .

DWD - I don't think that we have lost the dream. Instead, I think we are just so damned busy, paying for college and the mortgage and what not that we just don't have the time to be active in community actions. Which is just how corporatist America likes it. Look what Cindy Sheehan managed almost single handedly. But she has a way of paying the bills. Most of us do not have the luxury of just popping over to Crawford for a few weeks to protest. As the baby boomers retire, I look for more activism on their part.

Actually, it's looking to me as if the public in general has just recovered from its unwillingness to view some one in high office as being criminal and culpable. Yes, the Brinkley's still slop some gloss on the man himself, but most of us are over it. In order to regain control, the elected officials have to go ahead and prosecute. And I do believe that's going to be next. When next the c-i-c defies the law, it's going to be a showdown.

"I feel like shit and the government is going to be watching over my shoulder
You know as well as I do, thats going to happen no matter what."
We are our actual government. That is the genius of our system. When it is abused to this degree, our actual true system (not the shadow government in control since JFK's killing) provides balance. It is not easy, and since it has been hijacked for so long it is even more difficult, but the bottom line is we the people of the United States Of America are our own government, and even in the despicably bought and paid for media, that undeniable fact is emerging. If you are an American and if you want your rights, just keep it firmly in mind that eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty. Tyrants come and go, but true freedom, once won, is not so easily vanquished.

Molly-- I think so. He's going to have problems in Quebec-- many people there can't forgive him for writing the Clarity Act, which defined how Canada would react to an independence referendum. Plum says because of this he won't get the support in Quebec, but I'm more hopeful. For one, he repeatedly gets reelected in his Montreal riding, so that says something. For another, the hard-core indepennce movement is only something like 25 percent of the population to begin with, and young people seem less inclined to go along with it. Dion has very strong environmental credentials, and that's a major concern among Quebec voters.
In English Canada, Dion is seen as a bit of a nerd, and a strong nationalist, which I think will make him a strong candidate.
So, in the next few months, he'll have to do a lot of work on the ground in Quebec, and lay out some strong environmental issues as leader of the opposition. If he works it right, I could see an early spring election, and he could be Prime Minister in a minority government. I'm hoping anyway.

The real news is that the Liberals rejected the party insiders. The insiders had plucked that asshole Ignatieff out of Harvard and brought him in as some sort of self-appointed saviour for the party. The Ignatieff movement represented everything that was wrong with the party-- the sense of entitlement and elitism. Ignatieff, very roughly speaking, was the Hillary Clinton of Canada. He was rejected.

state.
If you keep this perspective, THEN it is POSSIBLE to at least understand HOW you are being LIED to. As long as you cannot SEE the lies, it is virtually impossible to DO anything about them. Once you can see them, then you can consider options, and plenty of options do exist. The whole "I'm just one person what can I do" bit is designed to make you feel powerless.

MONTREAL — Stéphane Dion's victory at this weekend's Liberal convention sets the stage for the next election, with the new leader signalling he will campaign against the minority Conservative government on the environment issue.
The selection of the owlish academic from Quebec opens the door for the Liberals to separate themselves from the Tories on the green issue and to start pressing Prime Minister Stephen Harper harder on management of the Afghanistan military mission.
"Now we are gathered with one goal, to win the next election for Canadians," Mr. Dion, the former environment minister, said in his first speech as leader to a cheering crowd of more than 5,000 convention delegates.
The 51-year-old Montreal MP, who entered the race as a long shot, surged past the two leading contenders Saturday to win a topsy-turvy Liberal convention in four ballots. The delegates faced a final choice between two former university professors, Mr. Dion and Michael Ignatieff.
Mr. Dion entered the Commons in a 1996 by-election, after being wooed from his post as a political-science professor in Montreal by former prime minister Jean Chrétien to take on the national unity file in 1996, following the Quebec referendum.
The runner up, Mr. Ignatieff, was a Harvard professor who returned to Canada after an absence of three decades to win a seat in Toronto for the Liberals in the January election.
But Mr. Ignatieff's previous support for American military involvement in Iraq and some of his controversial academic writings on coercive interrogation of terrorists left a bad taste with many Liberals.
One of the loudest and longest rounds of applause at the convention was in appreciation for former prime minister Jean Chrétien's decision to keep Canada out of the Iraq war.
Mr. Dion, by contrast, has a freer hand to criticize government foreign and national security policy without fear his past positions will come back to haunt him.
Mr. Dion's heavy emphasis on environmental issues during the leadership race suggests the Liberal strategy will be to try to create sharp contrasts with the Tories in that area — which could help the Liberals win some of the support of the Green Party, which has swelled in opinion polls in recent months.

I agree to some extent, but they are already trying to silence the internet through ant-neutrality measueres, and complacency is what has alway costs us our gains whether those of the 60's, or those of the Clinton era. I'm urging a very careful and very deep analysis by every individual for themselves of everything they are presented with, because it is not just on FOX at all, and there I must disagree with you. If you look carefully, you will see the lies embedded everywhere, and you do not have to be paranoid to see them. Many of them come from well-intentioned sources. Many of them come from within ourselves at this point as we have become so conditioned by this vile pernicious garbage. What I say is that the lies are told at a level which, if that level is not monitored by eternal vigilance, enables them to slip by our consciousness, thus avoid detection, and then take root. We then participate in our own enslavement. This is part and parcel of the agenda, and it has it's modern roots in the nazi programme.

Gen Sanchez was speaking with a friend of mine not long ago, blaming every general that has been in Iraq for the failures, all except himself. They're making statements on the book circuits that would have been helpful if they'd made and stuck to them when they had a position and power to effect change.

They're making statements on the book circuits that would have been helpful if they'd made and stuck to them when they had a position and power to effect change.
This was basically what Billmon kicked Thomas Ricks to the curb about in the course of praising the content of "Fiasco."
"Gee, Tom... this is much tastier stuff than the Kool Aid you were pouring while this was actually going on. Wonder why you never said anything at the time?"
OT- Washington Post print edition (maybe online, too... didn't check) has a couple of truly hideous portraits of plastic-surgery ravaged Dolly Parton (we're talking "face" here). The woman resembles the elderly love-child of Charo and Walter Matthau.

It should be but lately it's become more and more group-think. And if your ideas don't fall within certain group norms, you're attacked.

uncle smokes, maybe that's why bush senior is called poppy.
jello - carter o8
Well, ya learn something stupid everyday--seems the nickname comes from childhood:
George was named after his grandfather, George Herbert Walker. Since George's mother called Grandfather Walker "Pop," she began calling her son, his namesake, "little Pop," or "Poppy." Hence, Poppy Bush is the name the President's family friends have called him since his youth.
Of course, the nickname proved rather ironic (grain o' salt: tinfoilish link).
Of course, Poppy had a son who was a drunk reprobate, Droppy Bush, who brought his special brand of delirium fallere to the White House. Another son became governor of Florida, hence Floppy Bush. The family doesn't talk too much of the son who digs prostitutes, Proppy Bush (also known for his savings and loan thievery as Sloppy Bush).

The following paragraph from Mr. Rich's column today is one of my favorite pieces of literature I've read. It reads funny, but it is not.
In the case of “civil war,” it fell to a morning television anchor, Matt Lauer, to officially bless the term before the “Today” show moved on to such regular fare as an update on the Olsen twins. That juxtaposition of Iraq and post-pubescent eroticism was only too accurate a gauge of how much the word “war” itself has been drained of its meaning in America after years of waging a war that required no shared sacrifice. Whatever you want to label what’s happening in Iraq, it has never impeded our freedom to dote on the Olsen twins.

In the Corporate State, corporate media automatically become State Media.
this means the legitemate interests of the press in performing the watchdog role become subsumed in the corpoRat interests of profit and pandering to Officialdom...
i'd say the transition began in the corpoRat press in earnest in the aftermath of the Vietnam war, about 30 years ago,
the corpoRat press was VERY uncomfortable with the role that the media played in 'turning' the country against the war--even though there was no particular animus in the Press against the war, itself, and the press achieved their reputation mainly by reporting (fairly, in some cases) on the People's loss of faith in the effort...
and became fait acompli under the regime of the Raygun fascists...
