What retarded thinking. "Oh, just give them what they want so that they can't bitch." What the fuck is wrong with him. People are dying over there.
fourlegsgood


Totally agree 4LG, but I think his thinking is more along the lines of "let them blow more air into the balloon until it bursts, then everyone will know they were wrong." Unfortunately, as Atrios points out, that is not how it works. What we will find is that they were really blowing air on the fire, just making it hotter and more difficult to extinguish.

GravatarI had so much fun the last day I shopped - Thursday.

I used to shop in an antique mall that was on lower Greenville. Then it burnt down. Lucky me, someone just opened a great big antique shop in my neighborhood that has the same variety of junk that the antique mall used to have. That's where I finished my shopping.

That's the way I love to shop for Christmas. I dearly despise buying the usual mall shit - clothes especially.

I had too much fun buying neat old shit Mr. Tena doesn't want. At least it's neat shit. It's better than buying him new, crappy shit he doesn't want.

GravatarMan sets self aflame in Calif. protest
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061..._us/ man_on_fire
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A man used flammable liquid to light himself on fire, apparently to protest a San Joaquin Valley school district's decision to change the names of winter and spring breaks to Christmas and Easter vacation.

The man, who was not immediately identified, on Friday also set fire to a Christmas tree, an American flag and a revolutionary flag replica, said Fire Captain Garth Milam.

Seeing the flames, Sheriff's Deputy Lance Ferguson grabbed a fire extinguisher and ran to the man.

Flames were devouring a Christmas tree next to the Liberty Bell, where public events and demonstrations are common.

Beside the tree the man stood with an American flag draped around his shoulders and a red gas can over his head.

Seeing the deputy, the man poured the liquid over his head. He quickly burst into flames when the fumes from the gas met the flames from the tree.

The deputy ordered the man to drop to the ground as he and a parole agent sprayed him with fire extinguishers.

"The man stood there like this," the deputy said with his arms across his chest and his head bent down, "Saying no, no, no."

The man suffered first degree burns on his shoulders and arms, Milam said.

Kern County Sheriff's Deputy John Leyendecker said the man had a sign that read: "(expletive) the religious establishment and KHSD."

On Thursday, the Kern High School Board of Trustees voted to use the names Christmas and Easter instead of winter and spring breaks.


GravatarDoctor frees wounded GI in time for Christmas
Michael Kiefer, AZ Republic Dec. 23, 2006
He was braced when the bomb lifted his Humvee off the desert floor.
Army Spc. Alroy Billiman was on the first day of a four-day patrol in Iraq when the vehicle he was driving hit an improvised explosive device.
"When the explosion hits, the smoke, the pressure," he said, "you can feel it inside you, man!"
The blast took off his right arm above the elbow, and as he waited for the medevac helicopter to take him out of the field, he wondered if he was going to die. That was Nov. 9. On Thursday he was back home in Arizona, thanks to a good Samaritan pilot. And though he was still fighting infection from his wounds, he was pumped with adrenaline on Friday, driving across the Navajo Reservation with his wife to visit family in Farmington, N.M., and anticipating Christmas with his family in Window Rock. He had no time to rest. "I'm good to go," he said. "I'm a native, man! I'm a Navajo! I'm a warrior!" His wife, Katara, was relieved. "I'm glad to have him back. I love him a lot," Katara said. Billiman, 27, grew up on a ranch outside of Window Rock and served in the Army in Germany from 2000 to 2003. When he mustered out, he moved to Farmington, where his wife's family lives. There he worked in construction and on oil rigs until he was called back into the Army 2 1/2 years later.
He had been in Iraq for nine months, making regular patrols, sometimes as gunner and sometimes as driver, when he was injured. The truck had just been reinforced with armor a month earlier. "That armor is what protected me," Billiman said. "Every time I prayed, I prayed for that armor to protect me." But there was very little armor beneath the parking brake and gear shift. And as the truck went into a dip, it hit the pressure plate that set off four artillery rounds.
Billiman got himself out of the truck and made sure his gunner, who was also injured, was taken care of, then directed his comrades to put a tourniquet on his arm and insert an IV in his other arm, telling them, "I don't want to bleed out and die in Iraq." And as the rescue helicopter landed, he said his goodbyes.
"My war was over and I was going home," he said. "I told them to be safe and that they were great Americans." By the time he reached San Diego he had undergone eight surgeries.... Then the doctor changed his mind and called Billiman at noon Wednesday and told him to be ready to be picked up by a van and driven to an airport. There, a volunteer pilot was waiting with a small plane....then flew them to Window Rock the next morning, where they were met by about 50 family members and then introduced to the Navajo Nation Council at was meeting in a special session.
Billiman needs to return to San Diego early next month to be fitted with prosthesis. Until then he said, "I'm just going to enjoy Christmas. Then I'm going to go up to my ranch and ride my horse."

Mr. Tena used to have a habit of shopping for himself while shopping for me, and there were years when I wanted to go upside his head when he came home with something I'd already gotten him.

It's best I just stay out of Neimans. They get me with their purse clearance at Christmas every damn year.

GravatarGOP turns anger on campaign committee
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ 20061...second_guessing
WASHINGTON - Narrowly defeated in his bid for a fourth term, Montana Sen. Conrad Burns (news, bio, voting record) turned his anger on the National Republican Senatorial Committee and commercials it had run months before the election.

"The ads hurt me more than they helped. I wouldn't have spent the money," he said, his comments characteristic of the season of second-guessing now unfolding among Republicans.

President Bush's low approval ratings, the unpopular war on Iraq, voter concern about corruption and Democratic fundraising all figured in the GOP loss of Senate control in last month's elections. But among Republicans, long-hidden tensions are spilling into view, with numerous critics venting their anger at the GOP Senate campaign committee headed by North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole...

Final fundraising figures show Dole's committee raised $30 million less than the Democratic counterpart headed by Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record) of New York. Given the disparity, several Republican strategists questioned the decision to spend more than $4 million last fall in New Jersey and $800,000 in Michigan in an unsuccessful attempt to find a weak spot in the Democratic lineup. Democrats won both races by relatively comfortable margins.

At the same time, more than a dozen party officials and strategists criticized the steps the committee took — or did not take — in Montana and Virginia in the campaign's final weeks.

Burns and Sen. George Allen (news, bio, voting record) lost exceedingly close races — the margin of defeat a fraction of a percentage point. A victory in either one would have left the Senate tied at 50-50, giving Republicans control on Vice President Cheney's ability to break tie votes.

Two more weeks of ads in Montana might have made a difference, said one of many Republicans who expressed anger that Dole's committee aired no television advertisements in Burns' behalf for between Labor Day and Halloween.

In Virginia, Allen and the Senate campaign committee combined were outspent on television advertising in each of the last five weeks by challenger Jim Webb and the Democratic campaign committee, according to internal GOP figures. The gap exceeded $700,000 in the final seven days.

Numerous Republicans also have displayed anger at Bush for the party's election losses, in particular his decision to wait until after the election to replace Donald H. Rumsfeld as defense secretary.
"If Rumsfeld had been out, you bet it would have made a difference," said Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., who was not on the ballot but lost some of his power nonetheless. "I'd still be chairman of the Judiciary Committee."

Today, I heard from my cybertwin, "My outlook improved when a
doctor at the San Antonio VA made a lens replacement in my cloudy
liberal eye, which now has vision almost as good as my conservative
eye."

To which I replied, "I had cataract surgery on my conseravative eye. Now it is seeing reality once again."

Oh well, sad but somehow odd.


Gravatar But among Republicans, long-hidden tensions are spilling into view, with numerous critics venting their anger at the GOP Senate campaign committee headed by North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole...

Now all you sourpusses, you have to admit that there has hardly been a day go by since November 7 without at least one pretty damn good schadenfreude-invoking story.

GravatarHi everybody!
Guess what I got for Christmas?

A Cease and Desist Letter from KSFO/ABC Radio Disney! I talked to a lawyer from the EFF and he said that my material was clearly for nonprofit educational purposes, and thus under the protection of the Fair Use Doctrine set forth in Section 107 of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.§107. But since my ISP is wimpy they believed the KSFO/ABC lawyer without any review of the purpose or use of the info. I'm in the process of finding a new ISP that won't roll over as easily.

The audio clips in question?
* "putting the bull's-eye" on Nancy Pelosi (Media Matters http://mediamatters.org/items/20...ms/ 200611210011 and link http://mediamatters.org/items/20.../ 200612060004to Morgan's non-apology)
* Barak Obama as a "halfrican" (Media Matter's link http://mediamatters.org/items/20...s/200612070006)
* cutting off a liberal's testicles
* blowing up the New York Times buildings
* or shooting a black man between the eyes and torturing him with electrodes attached to his testicles.
Sorry I can't provide links to any of the other audio, but since I don't have the backing of a mega corporation or on regulated radio supported by Disney, I can't share their violent rhetoric with your (or advertisers)
Too bad eh?

This really pisses me off. Morgan can use the terms of an assassin when talking about the Speaker-elect on commercially supported broadcast radio, but if I try and tell the advertisers what they are supporting, I'm slapped with a copyright violation letter. Wow! And people wonder how hate radio stay in business. They have massive corporate support and have no problem shutting down a 5th tier blogger with 11 readers who doesn't even have a link on Atrios.

Gravatarspocko - the fact that you got the letter means you have worried them sufficiently that they feel the need to shut you up. You are probably legally right in all of it - they are betting you don't have the time or money to put up a fight, IMO. And that's not necessarily a legal opinion - I don't practice anymore and haven't looked at this area of law ever.

Anyhoo...the Firestone guy makes some kind of joke about "needing bushes" if your brakes fail; I didn't get the joke and said, "oh, I thought you were making a comment about our president." Guy replies, "I'm a Republican." Me: "Oh, that must be very painful for you then." Firestone guy: Lets out a long sigh and simply nods.

Gravatar"A Parable For Our Times
Bill Moyers
December 22, 2006


Bill Moyers is president of the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy. The center's senior fellow, Lew Daly, was his accomplice in this essay, written exclusively for TomPaine.com.

The Christian story begins simply: A child is given, a son. He grows up to be a teacher, sage, healer and prophet. He gains a large following. To many he is a divine savior; to the rich and powerful he is an enemy. They put him to death in brutal fashion, befitting his humble beginnings in peasant Galilee and his birth in a stall thick with the raw odor of animals.

Toward the end of his life, Jesus preached in the Temple to large crowds, reaching the height of his power. There he told the parable that likely sealed his fate. He said there was a man who created a prosperous vineyard and then rented it to some tenants while he went away on a journey. At harvest time, the owner of vineyard sent a servant to collect a portion from the tenants, but they beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed. Another servant came, and they struck him on the head. Another they killed. Finally, the owner sent his own son to collect the back payments. “They will respect my son,” he thought. But when the tenants saw the son, and knew him to be the heir, they saw their chance to take full possession of the harvest. And so they killed the son, thinking now they would owe nothing from the vineyard to anyone.

The listeners understood the symbolism: God, of course, is the owner of the vineyard, and the vineyard is Israel or the covenant, or, more broadly, the whole creation. It is all that God entrusts to the leaders of his people. And what is in question is their stewardship of this bounty."

Great piece in the latest GQ about Sinclair Broadcasting. I couldn’t help but notice this tasty tidbit:

Never mind that (David) Smith’s own behavior had almost nothing in common with (Sinclair’s vice president of corporate relations, Mark) Hyman’s moralistic segments. According to several sources close to Smith, the principal owner of Sinclair has never been the paragon of personal virtue that his stations preach and his political allies champion. Having launched his career selling pornographic videos in Baltimore’s red-light district during the 1970s, Smith has apparently spent the past thirty years refining that passion. After he was caught by police in 1996 getting a blow job from a prostitute while driving a company Mercedes, his sexual adventures became a matter of public record, but according to his friends, that incident only begins to tell the story.

“That was the time he got caught,” says one. “He’s a whoremonger. A real whoremonger. He loves the titty bars. The only people he likes go to the titty bars with him. Those are the only people he trusts. He also goes out to Vegas all the time. He goes to the high-end titty bars. He’s always getting the private upstairs rooms, champagne, the works."' http://www.dcmediagirl.com/index...20051122- 213634

It sure did. But, you know, as bad as this year was (and I'll have to share sometime over many, many drinks), it still didn't suck for me as bad as 2005 (which was teh ultimate suck save for the birth of my daughter).

Either way, I'm glad to see '06 end.


Gravatarnot surprising that dr barmpot has an anonymous admirer, as well as the many explicit admirers here.


GravatarThanks folks!

I'm in the process of moving to a host that the EFF lawyer recommended, but of course since it is Christmas everyone is gone.

By the way, I'm sure this was timed (the Friday before Christmas) so that they could keep Christmas advertisers happy. Last year they lost a bunch of advertisers because Brian Sussman was "outing" companies who didn't say "Merry Christmas" as his part of the "War on Christmas". Companies such as Albertsons and Wells Fargo were not pleased that their attempt to be inclusive of all was seen as an attack on Christians (link to Sussman's attack on "non-Merry Christmas companies" and Well's Fargo's response from KSFO's own program summaries on Nov. 29 and Dec. 1.) The sales manager who threatened me this year with lawsuits and arrest must have convinced the lawyers that I couldn't be allowed to alert the advertisers the same way this year.

Gravatar"Sen. Norm Coleman, following a two-day trip to Iraq, said Wednesday he opposes a plan President Bush is considering for a short-term surge of U.S. troops there.
At the same time, Coleman said, he supports Bush's call this week for the U.S. to increase its overall number of troops to help a taxed military fight the global war on terror.

"I would not support a massive increase in troops in Baghdad," Coleman, R-Minn., said from Bahrain, on his way back to the United States. Coleman said extra troops would create more targets, and he didn't think it would solve the main problem of sectarian violence in Iraq." http://www.zapaction.blogspot.com/

Damn, I wish you could be there. One of the things I feel very deeply and intuitively about New Mexico is that it is a woman's state, and Santa Fe is a woman's city. There seem to be more fascinating women of a certain age there than anywhere else I've been. And I don't mean just the lesbians, though certainly Santa Fe attracts lesbians. It's all that feminine energy that flows up from the earth there.

So true. Especially with our daughter, who is 16 months old and never will know a time when her parents were together.

I'd say my ex and I actually get along better now in many ways. And we are always trying to do what's best for the kids. Kudos to my ex for what she does to make sure I'm a part of their lives.

My first marriage produced no kids. Once the judge pronounced us divorced (coincidentally 11 years and one day before my second divorce), I never saw her again. So, this time has been a real adjustment.

Thanks for the moral support, everyone. I will be sure to pay it forward.


GravatarOff to make Saturday Sin. Cheeseburgers on the grill with all the fixings and some real French fries. Oh, and bacon.


GravatarYou know it kind of makes me sad (and angry) that I'm exposing the hosts at KSFO for calling for the death of journalists and they don't bother to even report on what she is really saying. This is part of the letter I'm going to send to Bill Keller and the 9th reporters that Melanie Morgan said should be hanged for their reporting on the terrorist financing story.
This is inciting violence and it's not a question of free speech now. It's directed toward a specific group of people. She recommends a specific act toward that group. No qualifications.

The problem is that I don't know how to get the journalists to cover this in a way that isn't the usual timid "I can't talk about them wanting me dead because they have their free speech to call for my death some more." I'm like, "FRAK! Well then tell you publisher to at least not SPONSOR THEIR PROGRAM! You don't have to PAY their SALARY WSJ while they call for your head!"
Does anyone have any respect for the journalists doing the real work of journalism that only a 5th tier blogger is defending you?

When Melanie Morgan of Disney Radio station KSFO called for your death by hanging I said that it was wrong for her to call for YOUR death on her radio program. She said "Get 'em, Hang 'em" about you to the entire San Francisco Bay Area. (Note: that there WAS NO qualification about any arrest, trial and conviction which she added later after she as finally challenged). I wrote Nancy Abramsom and the management at the WSJ who ADVERTISE on Morgan's show and asked them, "Why are you sponsoring a show whose host wants your journalists dead?" there was no response (Google Nancy Abramson WSJ and my blog, Spocko's Brain comes up first. So I think she might have noticed my letter eventually).

Gravatarwhile being blasted with a tinny mall speaker rendition of the preadolescent Michael Jackson singing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", just kill me now.

I have one son, who is 15 years younger than I am. I didn't raise him, but I'm his only mother now that we have been together for about 11 years. His adoptive mother was never much of a mother, it turns out. In fact, the whole family is the most dysfunctional group I've ever seen in my life.

My son has a daughter. I'm the luckiest person on earth - no one gets second chances like this. I don't know how I got so lucky.

GravatarRmj, Street Credentialed

I'm pretty sure this guy is the sales manager at Disney Station KSFO 560 AM, "Hot Talk" radio. When you read his comments and treats to me they are all over the map. One second he is calling me a coward and the next he wants to hire me (as a ruse for outing me) He threatens me with the police and the FBI one sentence and in the next tells me that "they are going to get you, Spocko" (Who's They?)

What most people don't realize is how massive the institutional support is for right-wing hate radio. They are out there 24/7 selling and profiting from the hate and will happily engage me in a cyperslapp suit, in support of their "free speech" on FCC regulated, commerically-supported broadcast radio.

KSFO should probably lose their license. Why? Discrimination against Muslims and Arabs. They talk all the time about how we should kill millions of Muslims and the management supports them. Do you think that any Muslims or Arabs will be applying to work there? It's basically like putting a sign, "A-rabs and Muslims need not apply" on the station.
They get away with it to. Unless someone applies and isn't hired they can say, "Well we haven't discriminated!"


GravatarNot you, goofball.

For the record, I'm not a vegetarian.

Not that there's anything wrong with that ...


GravatarActually, the "X" in "Xmas" is the "chi" in Greek, the language of the New Testament.

Around the turn of the last century this was well known due to the huge business in mail order Greek lessons (no, seriously), so people could read the NT in the original language. Probably inspired by the same ground-breaking German scholarship which also inspired fundamentalism.

"Xmas" was, at the time, considered an acceptable contraction, based on that knowledge. Many Protestant churches still display the "chi ro," the first two Greek letters of "Cristos," in their vestments. Most people in the pews, though, think it's a "P" with an "x" on its extended base.

"Xmas" was part of the first "war on Christmas" when I was a child. "Put the 'Christ' back in 'Christmas'" was the battle cry.

Ignorance is not really bliss. It just gets people upset over inconsequential things.

The Netherlands Debt Management Office (NDMO) has written us,her Consultant and issued a final notice to provide any of her relatives for payment or have the assets channel to the Government Treasury as unclaimed fund within the next 5 working days. Since there was no relatives or Next of Kin left in our record, I seek your sincere consent to present you as her only surviving relative, so that this funds can be declared to you in Netherlands as I' ve been unlucky locating any of her relatives. My aim now is to usher you in legally as her relative since you are of the same Nationality so that the fruit of her labour will not just be in vain.

Therefore, on receipt of your Expression of Interest (EOI),I have agreed that you will inherit 45% of this fund for your help and sincerity,45% for me while 10% is for the refunds of legal processing and your travelling expenses to the Netherlands prior to the successful handover of the funds to you in Netherlands.

I actually knew that, but it's much more fun to think of the T in Xmas as the T in Christmas falling on its side. "I've fallen and I can't get up!"

And I totally remember the "Put the Christ back in Christmas!" first war.

It's worse than that: it's a marketing ploy for FoxNews.

Aimed solely at exacerbating the tendency among some people to think they once had power, and now they've lost it, and those who took it are those with less power than they have. The landowners of the South used the same strategy for a century or more after the Civil War, to keep poor whites despising poor blacks instead of the rich landowners who exploited them relentlessly.

It's as American as apple pie. Which is why it still works.

What RJM said. If I celebrated xmas, I wouldn't want KMart and WalMart and 7-11 appropriating my religious holiday and using it to sell shit. Absolutely nothing stops xians from celebrating the religious holiday of xmas, just as almost nothing stops me from celebrating the Winter Solstice. I say "almost" since if I want the day off I need to take vacation, which is no problem for me, but can be an issue for some Pagans, while xians always get xmas off. But, other than that, there's no "war" on any religious holiday in 2006 America -- other than the war the corporatists wage to try and turn a meaningful religious holiday into a crass commercial exercise in wanting "stuff."

And there are still babies in limbo for committing the crime of dying without being baptized.

GravatarBelief in angels, however people define them, is highest — almost universal — among white evangelical Christians, 97 percent of whom trust in their existence, the poll indicates. But even among people with no religious affiliation, well more than half said angels are for real.

Among the findings about angels and Santa:

_Protestants, women, Southerners, Midwesterners and Republicans were the most likely to believe in angels, although strong majorities in other groups also shared that faith. Belief in angels declined slightly with advanced education, from 87 percent of those with high school education or less to 73 percent of those with college degrees. Overall, 81 percent believed in angels.

NTodd - right on, Yale Bowl. I've seen a couple of games there, years ago. "Bowl" obviously was a pretty common stadium name for, well, stadia shaped like bowls.

DWD - when I worked at Michigan State, we were told the student population was 45,000. It was nearly 46K when I left. It's somewhere in the top ten for a single campus enrollment in the U.S. and, I'm told, has the second-largest campus in terms of area in the world (only the University of Moscow is bigger, as I understand it).

GravatarThe surge is going to happen. The patriotic thing to do would be to back President Bush up 1,000 % on the new way forward in Iraq. I know I'm going to. Are you?????


GravatarEven Jimmeh Carter's former apologists cannot believe what a disgusting piece of shit he is..

From Mel Konner, Professor of Anthropology, Emory University:

For me, it means the loss of one of my greatest heroes. I have never allowed a snide remark about Jimmy Carter's "failed" presidency to pass without contradicting it. I have said countless times that he is the greatest former president, setting a new standard for that role.

I don't recognize Carter any more. I am afraid of him now, for myself and for my children. He has not just turned his back on the balance and fairness that all peacemaking depends on. He has become a spokesman for the enemies of my people. He has become an apologist for terrorists.
...
Carter has changed. Something has happened to his judgment. I don't understand what it is, but I know it is very dangerous. At a minimum, his legacy is irrevocably tarnished, and he will never again be a factor in the quest for Middle East peace. At worst, he is emboldening terrorists and their apologists in the Arab world, encouraging them to go on with their terror campaign and refuse even to recognize Israel's right to just exist.

I have been listening to air traffic again, since yesterday going into and out of a base that is 'closed' with just an reserve unit and training mission left. For the last three weekends, the traffic has been very similar in sound and frequency to what it was during Viet Nam when things were very active. One thing that was a constant back then were the medivac flights bringing troops into the major military hospital here. Now, this traffic never seems visible, usually at night or today in overcast conditions. I find myself wondering what it is all for. And here I am wondering and remembering and you want me to support that useless prick.

You're still an ignorant git, I see.

Not trying to get my goat? Then why would you need to comment on it? And why would you expend any thought and "suspect" something about my sexuality? Does that really matter?

Man, this is a dense troll!


GravatarI've come to the conclusion that modern conservatism - as distinguished from the classical, Goldwater conservatism, which was largely fiscal - is a movement made up largely of self-loathers who either suppress their own personalities in order to fit into some paradigm instilled by their parents or churches or whatever, or they exhibit extreme jealousy of those who are able to live as they really are.

I respect the fiscal conservatives, even if I don't agree. The self-loathers, though ... I just pity them.

Don't bank too much on the soon. Tend to up the frustration.

GravatarMan, I'm really craving some corned beef hash and eggs. I might just go make some...

...is this a euphemism for something straight guys don't do to each other?..


GravatarWhat? Why, yes I am, why do you ask?

(waves left hand in the air.)

Me three!


GravatarHey, the intermission discussion reminded me of "Hare Do", a Bugs cartoon where he keeps flipping the intermission switch to fuck up Elmer Fudd. It should be public domain like all the other Warner toons, but none of the public domain sites seem to have it. Anybody out there have a DVD set they'd rip the toon from for me?


GravatarMy dad was a great pitcher, but he hurt his elbow so at age 16 or something taught himself to throw left-handed, planning to become a leftie first baseman. Luckily, his right arm healed and he pitched for Michigan. Unluckily, he tore his bicep. Luckily, one of my kid brothers also became a pitcher and threw for Michigan. Unluckily, he got bored and quit after his second season. But still great experiences for both.

Anyway, leftie = great first baseman.


Gravatarsidhra: Jesus healed the Centurian's ear after Peter lopped it off in Gethsemane. I doubt he'd be sympathetic to such a prayer since it springs from hatred and ignorance.


Well, that's just an inconvenient, literalist, strict-constitutionalist reading of the texts.

GravatarDespite whatever one may think of Mel Gibson or "Passion of the Christ", the Gethsemane scene that culminates with Christ's arrest and Peter's lopping off of the ear are wondrously rendered.


Gravatar...well actually he didn't die...but, had he, it sure would have made the gene pool a little less murky...

What the fuck does that have to do with your wishing people would self-immolate themselves, the gist of which being you wish a slow and painful death on people who disagree with you politically, you yellow-bellied, sniveling, anti-American coward?


GravatarM'K bats -- too late for me -- s'posed to get up in the morning early & do my exercises before church

Blessings of the season to you all!

GravatarI'm sorry, this thread stopped being minty fresh a longass time ago.

Haloscan's fucking with me. It thinks it's doing me a favor.


Gravatar...is this a euphemism for something straight guys don't do to each other?..

No, I just made myself some hash and eggs.


GravatarIt should be public domain like all the other Warner toons, but none of the public domain sites seem to have it.

Can you direct me to said sites?

well, there you have it - in it's own words


GravatarSheeeeeeeeeeeeets!


GravatarIn the 70's a friend moved into a Berkeley house where they had a bunch of spoons, very stylish, where the bowl of the spoon was turned 45 degrees to the right of the stem's axis. I taped one of them to the refrigerator with a note denouncing rampant anti-sinestrite dexterism.

(Trying eating soup from a spoon like that with your left hand.)


GravatarI would say I am a switch hitter but Rorschach seems to have that sewed up.

Actually, I am quite ambidextrous. FOr what it is worth.


GravatarJust another drive-by tonight, bats. A joyous, peaceful season to you all.


Gravatar"Hare Do"? Is that the one that goes all meta-cartoon with the cartoon being shown on the cartoon screen? Bugs dressing up as a sheriff with a decidedly John Bolton (oops I mean Yosemite Sam) voice?
