Cat videos? Speaking of cats, where are Wiley and Gizmo?
What happened to my post? is Hellscum possessed?
Brian Williams complaining about Time? What?
Hi.

Hello, HBK!

Gomez' proposed Beatle's spinning songs:
(Reposted because of dead-threading)
1. I Wanna Hold Your Hand.
2. It Won't Be Long.(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah..)
3. I Saw Her Standing There.
4. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
5. She Loves Me. (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
6. (Add your own)
Cats
It's all about the cats.
As it should be.
Yep, we must continue to get our news from the same bunch of talking heads that echo-chambered every insane idea and lame ratiuonalization from the Bush administration.
To do otherwise would be to shake the foundations of America as we know it. Whoops: never mind.
OK, Doggie din-din time. ( wouldn't want to keep Her Highness waiting )
I bought D-i-L a GPS thingie for xmas. Does anyone else have one of those and, if so, are they easy to use?
Norwegian Wood. All of Rubber Soul, in fact.
I can spell "rationalization." Really.
Heee heee, just watched Borat, the movie today.
I loved the scene where he got Bob Barr to eat cheese.
I'd rather watch cat videos than most of the bullshit that passes for "news" these days.
It's all about cat videos posted by uncivil people who aren't serious, for crying out loud!
Norwegian Wood.
I think that may be my favorite Beatle's song ever.
I'm gonna get my friend to get me one of those
"project the time real big on the wall" clocks, so I don't have to sleep with my glasses.
Did you notice the extra minute of daylight today?
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator | Homepage | 12.22.06 - 6:29 pm |
It's rained here for the past two days. And it starts to clear at 4:55, right before sunset. Sky looked like orange sherbert.
Norwegian Wood. All of Rubber Soul, in fact.

Absolutely all of Rubber Soul and Revolver.
We're gonna be listening to the dying screeches of the MSM dinosaurs for a long, long time, I fear....
For the first time ever in the world,the Japanese capture a living giant squid.

For the first time ever in the world,the Japanese capture a living giant squid.

Imagine the saki needed to wash that sucker down.
Heee heee, just watched Borat, the movie today.
I'm going to see that with a friend on xmas. Either Borat or Casino Royale.
You can cycle to Mean Mr. Mustard.
It's been done, trust me.
Eschaton was sited for the cat blogging, right?
Brian Williams blogging ain't gonna catch on, ever.
I guess Brian Williams has a problem with Friday cat blogging as well.
I suggest that Atrios post some Atri-kitties immediately. Just to piss him off.
anyone interested in the media should be reading at least some of the following:
Atrios, the personal blog of Media Matters' own Duncan Black
Dan Froomkin, who writes an online column for The Washington Post and is deputy editor of the Nieman Watchdog project
NTodd's blog, Dohiyi Mir
Bob Somerby's Daily Howler
Somerby had an excellent one today, I though.
I'm going to see that with a friend on xmas. Either Borat or Casino Royale.

Flory, suck down a copy on the computer, you have to be able to move past the truly painful parts, and review the hilarious ones.
I'm amazed that Sasha didn't get killed making this movie.
I think that may be my favorite Beatle's song ever.
Hecate,
Man, that's a tough call, but I agree - it's way up there on my list, too.
The latest capitulator in the All-Holy War on CHRIST-MASS: the Cat Killer. Just received in my email box: "Frist Family Sends Holiday Greetings":
Karyn and I and our three boys wish you a blessed holiday season. We join you in celebrating family, friends, and faith... Karyn and I enjoyed sharing our very last holiday season in our home in Washington over the last week, buying our "Washington tree" and decorating it and the house extra early this year so we'd have plenty of time to enjoy it with friends as we said our goodbyes...In this season our thoughts and prayers are especially with the troops overseas who are serving away from home... Karyn and I send you and your family warm wishes for a blessed and healthy holiday season!
It's CHRIST-MASS, Bill! CHRIST-MASS!! JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!
Did you take your oath on a Koran or something???
And what the fuck is a "Washington tree"???
Imagine the saki needed to wash that sucker down.
not to mention the amount of flour needed for the tempura batter
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

O shit, I love that song. They opened the show with that in 1964 in Dallas.
And what the fuck is a "Washington tree"???
That's to distinguish it from the trees in his 14 other McMansions.

It looks like it could maybe snow between now and Christmas here in So. AZ. I've been hoping for a white Christmas morning here. I saw it once in Tucson 19 years ago.

I'm inclined to agree. We'll see what the lines look like.
I saw the ABC video about the Giant Squid online.
The reporter said the squid "died in the process of being captured."
That's about the screwiest passive construction I've ever seen.
I don't want to hear NTodd whining any more. He's been froomkined.
And kudos to Jamison Foser. The punditry does so hate to become irrelevant.
Were Greenfield and Moos really suggesting that Obama's name is a reason to dislike him? We assume they were not. But their focus on the topic only encourages others to continue their focus on the topic.
what kind of empty-headed, meliorating, fatuous asshole--jamison--would assume that a dickhead of the demonstrated dickheadedness as jeff greenfield was NOT suggesting that Obama's middle name was NOT a reaswon to reject him (i can think of a dozen other reasons, none of which have any relation at ALL to his name), even if he might deny it?

Extra minute of daylight?

Tena, If you are not familiar with "Bad Boy" go find it. Lennon sings the shit out of that song.
Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man
Heh. Stunt Woman done fooled me.
I had an extended crush on "Paperback Writer" as well.
I knew a guy that was a big Beatles' fanatic some years ago, and he had an extensive bootleg collection. He had an early mix of "PW" where the drums were way up front and there was a phase on the last guitar break. Sounded for all the world like the Jam!
Extra minute of daylight?
Tee hee.. try the seconds for Anchorage.
Heard both "Sympathy of the Devil" and "Come Together" on the car radio recently and I gotta 'fess up and say I thought we let some pretty lame shit pass for musicianship in the 60's. Must a been the dope.

Irony abounds: I'm sitting here with the NBC Nightly News playing in the other room, and the lead story tonight was a virtually content-free "Our troops are resolved to fight even though they're away from home at Christmas" puff piece. No discussion whatsoever about the real situation in Afghanistan, the "surge" escalation plan, or anything substantive beyond a little heart-tugging. I wish those young men were home now, too, but the idea that the piece tonight in any way constitutes an "well-thought-out, well-reported" look at the issues of the war is ludicrous beyond the ability of man to comprehend. To put it mildly.
Now we're doing the standard holiday travel piece. When did that get reported for the first time, 1953?

Hmmm. I'd have to take issue since the entirety of Zappa's "Shut Up and Play Yr Guitar" triple album was recorded after 1973.
I would agree, however, that after Mick Taylor's solo in 'You Can't Get Always Get What You Want' during the Stones appearance at Madison Square Garden in 1972 there was no point in attempting to push virtuosity any further.

Excellent! Merry effing Christmas!
Gotta go build my Boboli pizza, but I don't want to leave without high-fouring my fellow Beatlemaniacs.
And yes, the "Concert for George" is truly inspired excellence. I wish they'd do an encore, and include "Savoy Truffle" this time-- especially since George wrote it as a whimsical tribute to Clapton's predilection for gobbling down an entire box of sweets in one go.
Beatles Forever! 
... back in a bit.
How the hell did I miss this? From the AP:
The Selective Service—the federal agency that would be integral to any draft effort by the Bush administration—will perform tests on its system equipment, the Associated Press is reporting.
Selective Service "is planning a comprehensive test of the military draft machinery, which hasn't been run since 1998," writes Kasie Hunt. "The agency is not gearing up for a draft," an agency official told Hunt, and "the test itself would not likely occur until 2009."

(1a) "Rain"-- my personal favorite Beatles song
(1b) anyone know Jean Shepherd interviewed the Beatles for 'Playboy' back in '65 or so? 'twas interesting, his take was that George was the most egotistical & unaffected by fame, up close John was not as hip as Shepherd had expected (but he *was* the leader), Paul was the one who worried about the future, and Ringo was sort of sullen & unreachable.
(2) Mark Knopfler- 'nuff said about guitarists.
(3) been a long time since I read the Daily Howler, thought that was a good one.
"Hanukkah is a festival of headlights"

Only two feet?

And the tree skirt has not remained under the tree more than 5 minutes at a time.

Arguably the end of the Beatles "revolutionary" period. After that, they were "just" another awesome band in a sea of awesome bands that will never dry up.

Heading up to Liberal Mountain for the weekend.
I'll be around before then.
Did some HOLIDAY shopping last night.
The cab driver had her radio on - some station playing Xmas music and they had a spot with Amy Grant saying how she's "praying" for the troops.
The driver, bless her heart, said "Why don't you pray that the MORON in White House brings them all home? ASAP!"
I gave her the thumbs up.

I'm sorry but after about 1973 no one has been able to play the guitar. And I'll excuse a whole lot for good guitar playing. In fact, my entire first marriage . . . . Well, best not to bore you. But you get my drift.

Hecate, you're a wonderful person, but this is just silly.

Eric Johnson?
Hell, what about Melissa Etheridge?!
(Bonnie Raitt is damn good, but she's circa 1971 or so... Still goin', though!)
Bruce Cockburn? Out of this world guitar (if you haven't heard the WXRT Live version of If I had a rocket launcher, you ain't heard nuthin')
There are dozens of killer guitarists out there. OK, we're about the same age (I'm 54), and yes, I mostly prefer the music from thirty-five or forty years ago, but there is real good stuff going now...
Have I mentioned this already?
I saw a screener for "Death of A President" last weekend.
It's good, maybe even very good. There are a few subversively dark, hilarious moments which I won't give away.
Nice story.

I'd argue that lasted right up to 1969, but I'm kind of a fanatic that way.

And the use of the Moog and the medley on Abbey Road -- nothing ever sounded like that before.

Yeah - so what's your POINT, jack?

Indeed. Nowadays, groups put out albums every three years or so. The Beatles put out thirteen albums in seven years of recording, plus numerous singles that weren't included on the albums (the British ones anyway).

And that list doesn't include the burgeoning underground folk scene, e.g., Rick and Alan Bishop (of the Sun City Girls), Stephan Basho-Jungans, Jack Rose, Ben Chasney (6 Organs of Admittance/Comets on Fire) or the avant scene (Rafael Toral, Loren Mazzacane, Keiji Haino).
Nor does it include Bruce Anderson, guitarist for MX-80. A goddamn deity.
Otherwise, a fine list.

Thanks. I apologize for my lack of knowledge of cutting edge stuff. Honest, one of my physics students wants me to accompany him to the local second hand CD place since he discovered I like King Crimson, Tool and A Perfect Circle, not to mention Brian Eno.

Between December 1965 and June 1967, the Beatles put out Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper, three of the five greatest albums of all time, at least according to the poll of rock critics that Rolling Stone did for their 500 greatest albums of all time list.
The Beatles remind me of Elvis Presley, why? Cause I could care less what either one sang.

No problem Tau. Now please go back to listening to your Brittany mp3's on your WalMart stereo.
The White Album was a 90-minute album -- in 1968.
Zappa released his 2LP concept LP, Freak Out, in 1966 (I think it was the 2nd 2LP rock record ever released).
And the use of the Moog and the medley on Abbey Road -- nothing ever sounded like that before.
Very very tame and conservative stuff compared to what had come before, including their own records (i.e., Revolver).
By the time Abbey Road was released, the Beatles were just part of history, not really creating it anymore. Certainly no more than any other "important" band of the late 60s.
Sor was called the Beethoven of the guitar by a French critic, who also happened to be Sor's agent. Rodrigo's 2nd guitar concerto, Fantasia Para Gentilhombre, is based on themes of Sanz. He wrote it for Segovia, who had refused to play the Aranjuez because it had been dedicated to Eduardo Sainz de la Maza.

Oh, I agree that it's perfect. My point was that after Revolver they were no longer in the business of blasting holes in the future in the way that they had been prior to Revolver. After that, the foundation had been laid and they built on it, or they riffed off of foundations that others had built.

And I suspect so would most serious musicians, and most people in general.

Well, there you go. Now, what I need to know from the music police, is it OK to like the Stones and the Beatles? Zombies and Kinks? Sor and Sanz? Gershwin and Gershwin? What?

The two-minute pop song is the very definition of the Rule Of 2, which states that only 2% of anything or anyone you encounter is even worth a second thought. But that 2% affects lots of people and markets, becoming quite significant, and brands a certain timeframe, not insignificantly.

Pasty Burritos. Belch.
Bad burritos are worse than good burritos. That is obvious.
Lennon said himself they didn't deserve that level of fame and attention. How many lesser artists say the same thing???

just dropping in
14th bday party over here
Are you going to NTodd's Pa's for xmas?
Yeah. We were planning on Xmas Eve dinner at a favorite restaurant in the Northeast Kingdom, then spend some time at the Fortress, but the weather's turned to shit (freezing rain) and one of Mom's best friends invited us to festivities in town Sunday, so we've adjusted our itinerary.
I'm going to light some incense for you tonight.
Thank you. Really. Peace.
Richard
Goodes constituents are eating it up down here in the Fifth. We'uns don't like them scary brown people...
NTodd, can you open winmoviemaker files? if so, I have a funny one that the 15yr old just made.
"The funny thing is I knew you were going to say that. I'm so not joking."
we may have similar thought patterns and tastes, excepting madonna, jazz hands and queen.
plus, i'm better looking and wear pants.
I know nothing about music, nothing at all. It's quite wonderful, because everything is brand new and I don't have to say anything clever about any of it.
One could just as easily argue that the eloquence of great songwriters is the very essence of great literature. One ponders the significance of repeated motifs of "yeah, yeah, yeah" and the optimum placement of the word "girl" in Lennon and McCartney's works.
How can anyone pick a favorite Beatle's song? There are so many good ones.
Easier to pick the worst:
"Don't Pass Me By"
all of McCartney's sappy ballads
Bad burritos are worse than good burritos. That is obvious.
Gut bombs all =)
Favorite Beatle song? It's tough...
Today? "The Night Before".
Apropos of nothing, I'm listening to Mozart's Requiem. Just bought it from iTunes this week because Lacrimosa's been in my mind a lot (featured in Evanescence's latest album and in Big Lebowski, which I recently received). I'm not big into opera--one might say I generally would rather piss glass while being assraped by Atlas Juggs with a cyalume stick--but I really love the whole thing, not just Lacrimosa.
Back before some people in the neighborhood got so bitchy, my big black dog use to roam in the mornings. One day a woman from two streets down called and asked about him. "Is Mal okay? I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks." One Christmas he came home with a big red and green bow tied around his neck. I still have no idea who did that.
Lennon and McCartney worked, and worked very well, at the time they were writing, in the time they were performing, in the era they were born.
They really were karmically placed.
And they changed the face of rock music.
Not surprisingly, I'm more of a Lennon fan.
Atrios really does have the stupidest trolls on the internets.
Stupid is just the act this one plays to generate responses. That said, playing a stupid person 12 hours a day for 365 days a year must result in some sort of brain damage, I would imagine.
Most bigtime "artists" realize they don't deserve the attention they get-- some of them get fucked up by that realization, some of them try to pull others up the ladder of success, others don't give a damn really & suck up the 'love'.
NTodd, can you open winmoviemaker files? if so, I have a funny one that the 15yr old just made.
I don't think so, but I'd honestly have to check some applications. Can you export to .mov, .wmv, .flv, .swf or some other compact video format?
NTodd, M's Requiem is music to join the symphony chorus by. I did that.
Beautiful, beautiful child of Mozart.

I'm a big Harrison fan.
Vicki, I loved John Lennon's wit even when I was a young thing.
I'm not into pain, so pissing glass wouldn't work for me.
Easier to pick the worst:
"Don't Pass Me By"
all of McCartney's sappy ballads
Well, call me sappy but I think there is a time and a place for those things and I'm unashamed that I enjoy them. At least they have a ring of sincerity.
I also like Zappa's Broken Hearts are for Assholes. So there
I like Harrison, too. And Paul. Even Ringo.
Fuck, I'm a Beatleophile.
That said, playing a stupid person 12 hours a day for 365 days a year must result in some sort of brain damage, I would imagine.
Pinhead priapism.
May cause chafing
Opera is an acquired taste. 20 years ago I couldn't stand it myself, but now I love it-not all of it, but I have many favorites.
One ponders the significance of repeated motifs of "yeah, yeah, yeah"
Thats Sheeple for ya - four legs good two legs better =)
Rinse and Repeat.

How about a bluegrass version of "Love Will Tear Us Apart?"
I'd pay money not to hear that.
somebody fart?
I end up being more of a McCartney fan, which at times is hard to justify, but I feel I can use something Lennon himself said-- that while most of his songs were *him*, Paul would try to be a novelist & write about other people (cf 'Eleanor Rigby', 'Hey Jude').
but the margin is razor close, in my mind...

I'd go further than that and say that there is something universally enjoyable about early Beatles music. I've yet to meet a young person of any generation who didn't enjoy it.
NTodd--blessings. I know it will not be an easy Christmas for you, but we love you and wish you joy in the New Year.
Women don't really get kidney stones, do they?
dave
Um, they really do.
mer, I think they were magical, they had the chemistry and a very good team around them, and they were originally in it for the music, unlike the Stones. They were destroyed as a band by their unnatural success, but that's the 60s for you, joyfully, yet regretfully, out of control. Best time in history for many of us, in spite of terrible things. Beatles had the energy and positivity just right for that moment, as well as a whole new repertoire of love songs and celebrations of youth that developed into a voice for a certain generation.

My 18 month old niece agrees with you. Watching her little toddler head bouncing to the music is too sweet.
I imagine the Stones were in it for the music too-- but their blood ran colder, which is part of why they lasted & the Beatles didn't. I was surprised, one day doing a sort of mental inventory, how many Stones songs I like.

Poor little Owsley... the night the symptoms became acute, he kept meowing while I was trying to sleep and I finally threw him out of the room. Always felt bad about that...
Luckily, all he needed was a daily pill shoved down his throat for about a year, and no more tuna or milk. Chicken livers were recommended, which he loved, so there was a bright side for him...

Ads masked as blogs new online marketing ploy
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/
2006...ia_061222124005
NEW YORK (AFP) - The curtain has been pulled on a deceptive new advertising tactic in which companies camouflage ads as product praise in online postings masquerading as independent blogs.
Several companies have been exposed for launching fake blogs -- known as "flogs" -- in a practice that coincides with an increase in the number of real bloggers secretly paid to endorse products.
Blogs, a term derived from "Web logs," are rampant on the Internet and are considered online journals in which people post personal opinions, musings, rants and more.
Online firm Technorati reported on Thursday it was tracking more than 63 suspicious blogs.
Wily marketers have infiltrated the blogging world, paying for favorable commentary on products.
However posting product commentary without alerting readers that bloggers were compensated for their opinions is unethical and potential illegal, according to US Federal Trade Commission rules.
Sony Computer Entertainment America, a subsidiary of Japan-based Sony, admitted last week that it created a bogus blog baptized "All I want for Christmas is a PlayStation Portable."
The blog was passed off as the work of an amateur hip-hop musician named "Charlie," who enthusiastically praised the PlayStation.
In a short message on the Charlie blog, Sony apologized for being "a little too clever."
Hell, I'd like to be one with Rufus Sewell.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....yummy!

He wasn't purple by any chance, was he?
All white. When I got him, he had a little triangle of black hair on the top of his head that made him look like he had a crewcut, so I wanted to name him "Haldeman." I had a roommate who was a big Deadhead and he suggested "Owsley," and that stuck.
Later, he ended up living at my parent's house. I always got a kick out of hearing my mom standing on the porch and calling "Owsley!" when she wanted him to come in...

& I agree with Hecate about the decline in guitarship since 1973 -- maybe we stopped doing drugs at that time (or something)
So what's the news across the nation?
http://thumbsnap.com/v/7fc6HieS.jpg
Nothing much on TV, so I dug out a videotape of a Three Stooges marathon I taped in November 1988.
WWOR-TV in New York, which my cable system stopped carrying years ago.
Funny to watch commercials that are nearly 20 years.
I hit it too, Woody. Loved the poetry.
Hi Prior!
Not much. Watching people die and get karma and like that.
So what's the news across the nation?
Duke rape charges dropped and it apparently has snowed in Denver.
Hecate, what would we do without you?
Thanks for your insight and touch.
Wound up in ER, just to be on the safe side.
Oh, that is no fun. I was in the ER in late October w/ an ear infection and I kept thinking how the waiting room COULD be a healing place with plants and massages and herbal tea and aromatherapy and laying on of hands instead of a cold place w/ tile floors, infomercials on a blaring tv, tired children complaining, and germs being shared. It would be so easy to make it nice.
I'm glad you're going to be ok.
We definitely need your captions to get through the day. At least I do.
Hi, Prior!
Another one says "I've had enough of this shit!"
Hi Prior Aelred! Haven't said hi to you in a month of Sundays. How are you doing?

Tres cool. They should SO talk to my friend R.
Hey folks.
There is a 20 month old, late talker, who loves music. When he wants me to put on a record, he used to walk to the door where the stereo is and point. Now, he walks to the door and says, "Rock. Elvis."
I put it on and we dance (I've got the 50s masters 5 CD set, but mostly listen to disc 1, starting at about track 9).
Tres cool. They should SO talk to my friend R.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
I'm serious. They are looking for ideas. I so agree with you.
Heh, Juan Cole has a great post about that idiot Virgil Goode, and he's dug up quotes from George Washington & Ben Frankin to back it up.
Ben Franklin, the founding father of many important institutions in Philadelphia, a key diplomat and a framer of the US Constitution, wrote in his Autobiography concerning a non-denominational place of public preaching he helped found "so that even if the Mufti of Constantinople were to send a missionary to preach Mohammedanism to us, he would find a pulpit at his service."
Oh, that is no fun.
I took the opportunity to try to get some sleep on the gurney.

Ditto for the waiting "room" at the local CVS. It could be the beginning of the healing instead of a place where sick people fend off the energy from commercial displays and bad muzak. I'm not often sick like that but the emergency room waiting room and waiting at CVS at 2:00 am for a scrip was a revelation to me. Why make it so ugly and offensive when it would be so easy to make it healing??? Pay someone to do Reiki for Goddess sake. It can't hurt anyone and it helps many and just having someone lay on hands can be so comforting. Hand massages? Scented steam? Harp music with affirmations? A cup of herbal tea? Gentle candle light instead of those godawful florescent lights?

I think health care in this country is moving in that direction, but it can't happen fast enough for me.
I'm with you. Reiki would go a long way in the healing process.
One of my responsibilities at the new place is to spin and promote a message of "care" in each specialty office. I'm already doing it. It's so fucking easy when you work for a good corporation. The company has very high marks for customer service, but those simple suggestions you offer would hit it out of the ballpark.

I agree, TV's are the curse of doctor's & hospital waiting rooms. Just playing some soothing music instead would be an improvement.
It could be the beginning of the healing instead of a place where sick people fend off the energy from commercial displays and bad muzak. I'm not often sick like that but the emergency room waiting room and waiting at CVS at 2:00 am for a scrip was a revelation to me. Why make it so ugly and offensive when it would be so easy to make it healing???
Stop using your magic to TRY and harm others and maybe you wouldn't be in a room full of bad juju.
Congratulations, Prior!
It's the dad, btw.

Prior A,
A belated Happy Anniversary to you. How many years has it been?

Really, you should bite me. If I wanted a man to tell me how to do magic, believe me, I could find one with a much bigger dick than yours. I'll do exactly whatever magic I want do, which is what I've been doing for twenty-some years without any guidance from you.
Just saying.

G/son is on his way to his other grandma's in southern VA. How's your g/daughter?
Foser quoting Somerby:
But it's extremely easy to criticize Clinton (and Gore before her) for being somewhat guarded in public. During Campaign 2000, for example, why did Gore sometimes "seem to measure every word and gesture, calculating whether they will get him into trouble?" Simple! He seemed to do that because he had to -- because, the way the game was being played, if he got one syllable out of place, the press corps would land on his head like a mountain, turning it into a vast referendum on his deeply disturbing lack of character. Hillary Clinton has also had to play by these gong-show rules. She has absorbed an astonishing amount of abuse in the past fifteen years, and (like Gore) she has done a miraculous job of soldiering on despite it.
...
If you're a Democrat or a liberal, Hillary Clinton has died for your sins. That doesn't mean she should be the nominee, but she deserves your respect, as does Gore. Each has taken a ton of shit -- while our "liberal leaders" have stared into air.

Why did Durbin cave on his gulag quote? Because he knew the mountain was about to land on his head and the "liberal leaders" would stare into air. "Liberal leaders" doesn't have to mean a person or persons. It could mean the netroots. In Dubin's case it did mean the netroots. The "liberal leaders" stared into air as Durbin was attacked. When CPB/PBS was being taken over by thugs the "liberal leaders" stared into the air and worse. What gets the netroots riled up? Harry Reid demanding more troops be sent to Iraq. "Liberal leaders" either knowingly copied and pasted lies from the "liberal media" or the "liberal leaders" are metaphysical morons and just didn't bother finding out what Reid said. Either way, pathetic.

ay someone to do Reiki for Goddess sake. It can't hurt anyone and it helps many and just having someone lay on hands can be so comforting. Hand massages? Scented steam? Harp music with affirmations? A cup of herbal tea? Gentle candle light instead of those godawful florescent lights?
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator | Homepage | 12.22.06 - 8:58 pm
While our new er waiting doesn't have that, it is much better and more calming than the older one. Though I do wish they'd kill the tvs in all the waiting rooms. Our health center has all sorts of Reiki/Healing touch/massage stuff there, though alas not in the waiting rooms!

I think they should have waiting rooms with tv's and waiting rooms without. I've got ear plugs, but sometimes the volume is so high the plugs don't help. Funny thing is our hospital is doing things to reduce the noise on the units, but seem to have overlooked the waiting rooms.
Thank heaven there is no TV in the clinic waiting room here in Three Rivers -- some toys for the kids -- some magazines (all greatly out of date, of course -- I always take a book) & the Three Rivers radio station playing -- quite amusing, really -- you will hear Elton John or Lionel Ritchie or LeeAnn Rimes -- you never know -- then there are the contests to win something at the Quality Farm & Fleet or a dinner at a local restaurant -- small town America (& heavily Republican!)

Echidne of the snakes
somewhere between 500-600 hours. Sounds like fun.
The concern is that his temperature was 104.7; normal is 101.5, +/- 1 degree F. So, he got a shot of antibiotic, and he got the aforementioned Clavamax drops, too. And, he got a kitten care start kit (that was probably $30, right?).
Why dammnit didn't you take it to Hecate? =)

You were using it as an instructional video?
I've only been to the ER twice in the U.S., once to take someone else in and once when I was meditating and hit the window pane while whirling. That time there was nobody waiting at all, as it was about three a.m., but the first time was something I'm going to write about one day. For instance, there was a woman there with a toddler who had bitten his tongue (only a little) and the mother yelled at all of us about us not having health insurance, probably, and about how she knew some of the physicians and deserved to go first. Which would have been funny except that there were very sick people waiting there and the toddler was doing the rounds and laughing.

man, there must be a truckstop on the intertubes that has little signs up for idiots to troll Eschaton.
Echidne --
I like Rameau & Couperin
Actually most of Scarlatti's work was done at the Portuguese court -- supposedly some of the flashy hand crossing stuff in the earlier work is missing from the last pieces because the queen (who liked to play them) got too fat to cross her hands in front of herself on the keyboard (don't know if this is true, but I read it in a book -- will have to see what Wiki says!)

Buckeye,
That's what's so weird. My exposure to hospitals, lately, at least, thank the Goddess, was when D-i-L was in last new years eve and then this March, but the waiting room is where so many people spend so much time and it would be so easy to make them places of rest and recupperation; the beginning of healing. I know harpists who would go in and harp which, as the NYT reported this year, is good for all kinds of vital signs. Just making it a calm, warm, restful place would to a long ways towards making the doctors' and nurses' jobs so much easier.

"You don't have much time to say goodbye," he said. "I just thought: "S***, I'm going to die!"

Holmes only suffered a punctured lung and broken ankle in the incident."

It would have been impossible to abort the Baby Jesus...the cross would've gotten hung up on the cervix.
But I digress. Re: Christmas songs, check out this odd tribute in which a man juggles "for Jesus" by performing to Springsteen's "Santa Claus is Comin to Town." What that has to do with Jesus is beyond me, unless the guy juggled at his birthday parties.

A nightmare. Why do you think I'm an only child?
An Easter Turducken:
Take a Cadbury egg. Slice open a peep and insert the Cadbury egg. Next take a hollow chocolate rabbit and remove the bottom. Insert the peep filled with a Cadbury egg (insert several of them until the rabbit is filled). Weld bottom of rabbit back onto rabbit. Now you have an Easter turducken.

MM's top 11 most outrageous comments of 2006:
Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh, blaming America's "obesity crisis" on "the left," "liberal government," and "food stamps": "Because we are sympathetic, we are compassionate people, we have responded by letting our government literally feed these people to the point of obesity. At least here in America, didn't teach them how to fish, we gave them the fish. Didn't teach them how to butcher a -- slaughter a cow to get the butter, we gave them the butter. The real bloat here, as we know, is in -- is in government."

Hiromi on NPR right now. A stunning pianist.
In a long career of inner-city school teaching there are still certain incidents that completely dominate my consciousness.
A few years ago I had a lovely young girl for a student. She was ten. She came to school very sad: completely unlike her usual buoyant self. She stayed to herself all day and simply stared at her desk. Finally when the day was nearly done she asked me to see her in the hallway. She told me, "My momma is giving me away."
It seems mom was going to jail and there was no one to care for her except a distant relative who insisted on having parental rights as a condition of taking her till mom was gone.

LONDON — A woman with two wombs has given birth to triplets, in what is believed to the first case of its kind, a hospital official said today.
Hannah Kersey, 23, gave birth to three girls in September, said Richard Dottle, a spokesman for Southmead Hospital in Bristol where the babies were born. The children spent nine weeks in the hospital.
The girls — identical twins delivered from one womb and a third fraternal sibling from the other — were delivered by Caesarean section seven weeks early, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported.

DWD - don't know what your precise diagnosis is, but I've heard about a modern-day "rack" that they're using on disc therapy. They can pinpoint where to exert the stretch between vertabrae, then they apply 1-1/2 times body weight. The stretching suctions the gel between the vertabrae back into place, and also suctions in blood flow to help in healing. Apparently some 80% of people can get relief with the procedure.

Of course it's our own fault really. we pay teachers so poorly that we attract the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the talent pool.

Ellroon,
One of my main concerns about the educational delivery system is the newer teachers. Most are really nice people and good students. But are we drawing the best people anymore?
I have to say the answer to this is no. We have the teachers on the make who are looking to move into management ASAP and then we have the loving teacher who cannot find a way to be a teacher and not someone who pities.
Not sure of the anwser but an increase in salary with some respect from the politicians and administrations would help.

Not sure what state you live in but in California, you are required to pass the CBEST. No easy task. It is among the toughest state to obtain a credential. It's difficult teach a child who shows up to school every once in a while unprepared to learn.

I live in Michigan. I am not sure what the new teachers have to go through but it is extensive.
I have a permanent certificate at this point. They do not even give those anymore. I was grandfathered.
Teachers's salaries in Michigan run from about 35K to 90K. But the most common ending salary is around 60K.
That sounds like a great deal of money until one has kids in college and car insurance and houses and and and

Reminds me of a story from law school, when someone I knew said something that he didn't really mean the way it came out ...
We were out at a bar, drinking copious quantities of beer, and one of my classmates got into an altercation with a townie. Finally, my classmate shouts, "Oh, yeah? Well, why don't you just fuck me in the ass?!"
It was like all the air was sucked out of the room ... total ... silence. Never seen anything like it.

Evening, batses.
My high school English teacher taught me how to write about politics. We rarely talked about politics, but we talked about writing all the time. He got in my face, made me argue, made me prove every point to him, made me debate in a way no one ever had before. He made me knock him down, this man who was more brilliant than anyone I've ever known before or since. And when I did, when I did finally get one up on him once, he LAUGHED, because he was so happy.
The things he taught me in his classes are things that have stuck with me till this day: the idea that when we stand on our feet and use our minds we can all be equals, no matter where we come from, no matter who our parents are or what our names sound like. That all that matters is what's in your head and what comes out of your mouth, what you think, what you say, what you believe.
But there was one moment in particular that made me who I am. He was talking to the class about sound and cadence, and he asked me if I'd ever read Edgar Allen Poe's The Bells. When I said no, he went to his desk, opened the bottom right hand drawer, pulled out his old yellowed copy of Poe and he read that poem to me, to the class, out loud, in a roaring and whispering voice as the words called for it, this avalanche of words crashing over and over us, rolling us under, rushing at us and then rocking us slowly to sleep. When he was done, I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to do that.
I sent him a copy of my book when it came out, with a note that said "Thank you for everything."
My point in telling you this story is that you don't know who's out there right now, telling some other group of people a story about you.
Teachers are magical. Don't let anybody tell you different.

Well, the drugs are kicking in. That is a good thing.
BTW, let me say something nice about the much maligned oxycontin. I use it very judiciously. I have never yet taken an entire pill at one time. Now I take about a third of a pill at supper time and another third two hours later. This has enabled me to sit and visit with my family (instead of wandering about not being able to sit or stand comfortably) I can also sit (for the most part) at the computer. It has helped immensely and I appreciate it.
Echidne--I'm surprised. We had lots of them in L.A.
My mom will say how, after talking to other moms where she works, lucky she felt that my brother & I *wanted* to go to school & wanted to do well.
I never know what to say to that, it wasn't as if we had *options* at that point...
My fourth grade teacher kept me in at recess all winter, trying to beat the times tables into a highly resistant mind. I remember being frustrated, but not whether I was *angry* about that- tho' I think not.
This teacher was a sort of family legend, she had grown up on a neighboring farm and had taught my aunt & dad at country school back in the '40s. She's long retired now, but I have always said, since I got some sense in me, that she was one of the best teachers I ever had.
Some years ago my mom ran across her & told her that-- & in return got one of the biggest hugs she ever got.
