HENRY: Okay, now, Senator, you voted for the war in 2002 -- I know you've said you were wrong, it was a mistake. But you said, at the time, quote, "Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a menace. He is doing everything in his power to get nuclear weapons." Saddam Hussein is about to be executed; we all know that. Do you think the president at least deserves some credit for getting that part of the job done?
EDWARDS: I think the American military deserves credit for their success in Iraq and for capturing Saddam Hussein, and Saddam Hussein being out of power and being executed is a good thing.

I was out putting up flyers on each and every door when I found a woman who said, "Oh! I took him to the emergency clinic last night!"
Fuckers. I called them today and the receptionist said he wasn't there. The woman pre-paid $900.00 to take care of his expenses, which I promptly paid for. (It wasn't $900, but I don't know what the damage is.)
Maxx already wants to go outside. He's never going out AGAIN.
Whew. Thanks again for everyone's good thoughts. I'm just so relieved that he was somewhere safe.

I think I have finally worked out the Bush/Blair policy for Iraq.
It is based on the well know ‘nut Christian’ policy of “kill em all, and let God sort em out.”
This policy has been given the twist of letting the Iraqi’s kill themselves ,and then when there is no one left in Iraq, Bush can claim all the oil for himself and move on to Iran to try the same policy there.

Burnin' Red Ivanhoe
One of the biggest names of Scandinavian progressive groups that became well-known worldwide. Their music can be described as progressive jazz-rock under influences of beat, R&B, psychedelia... The compositions present often improvisational long passages with Karsten Vogel's (soprano sax, alto sax) musical visions. The other members are: Kim Menzer (flute, violin, trombone, harmonica), Ole Fick (guitars, vocals), Jess Stæhr (bass), Bo Thrige Andersen (drums).
I was a member of the choir at James Brown's church in Augusta for a while, but never saw him there. Swinging choir though.

Hey WGG, if you're still here, I took the teenagers to see Blood Diamond last night. There was a scene that made me think of you: the main characters are on foot traveling through Sierra Leone and they come to a village that has just been pillaged by the R.U.F.--dead bodies everywhere. There is an old man still alive and he begins talking to them and he asks the African character (Solomon) what's up with the white dude? Solomon replies that he's just another white man crazy for diamonds, like all the white men. And the old man says to him, [paraphrasing], "Let's hope they never discover oil here. Then we'll really have problems."
I actually thought it was one of the best films I'd seen all year. Cliched, yes. But incredibly powerful and very well acted.

Oh go ahead ya wimps, watch the vid. It'll help you understand forever why you started listening to Iggy, the Stranglers, Ramones, Nick Lowe, Squeeze, etc. sometime after 1977.
Iggy Pop is the least talented motherfucker around. He SUCKS, and yes, it must be in all caps. Squeeze -- it is beneath comment. Squeeze is like Styx.
Punk is the most pretentious music around -- singing about knights and supernatural music boxes may be odd and outside the emotional connection of some folks, but unlike the most arrogant punk (always written by the guys who scream loudest, "Prog is pretentious!"), it doesn't tell you how to think. I never could figure out why the punks were so interested in not having prog heard -- not just not buying Tales from Topographic Oceans, but belittling anyone who is interested in buying it. The "prog is pretentious" cry is akin to right-wing projection.
I have instructions to have Echoes, full performance from the John Peel Show in September 1971, played at my funeral.

FWIW, I do listen to "Thick as a Brick" every so often-- when I have at least 45 minutes to do so. It's actually the only Tull I own.
For me, it's a good example of why I don't rely on artists' own expressed opinions about their work. I read or heard Ian Anderson (maybe even on the interview that's included on the import CD I have) more or less dismiss it as a mish-mash of ideas strung together just to get something new released, i.e. that there was no real attempt to carefully work through themes or larger messages.
And yet-- I don't care. I got acquainted with the album when I spent some time down the shore the summer it was released. As noted, I wasn't a Tull fan, but my friend's sister, I think, was at the time. It was one of the few albums we had there, so she played it often. And it just spoke to me.
There are some meaningless gibberish lyrics (The Band's "Chest Fever", speaking of Bach-influenced tunes) that remain pretty much just that. But TaaB works for me regardless of its author's deprecation.
I don't get hung up, or feel suckered, when an artist says, "I don't know where I was going with that!" (Dylan, about "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands", IIRC.) To me, it's a transactional phenomenon-- so the artist doesn't necessarily have (or expect to have) the last word.

"His execution on the day of Eid ... is an insult to all Muslims," said Jordanian pilgrim Nidal Mohammad Salah. "What happened is not good because as a head of state, he should not be executed."
The Eid al-Adha, or Feast of the Sacrifice, marks biblical patriarch Abraham's willingness to kill his son for God. Muslim countries often pardon criminals to mark the feast, and prisoners are rarely executed at that time.
The death could harden hatred for Shi'ite Muslims in Saudi Arabia, a bastion of Sunni Islam whose Islamic orthodoxy -- known as Wahhabism -- regards Shi'ites as virtual heretics.

From Wiki:
The [ELIZA] effect is named for the 1973 chatterbot ELIZA, which parodied a Rogerian psychotherapist. ELIZA was programmed to ask questions about whatever topics the user mentioned:
HUMAN: "I don't have anything against my father. He was okay ..."
ELIZA: "Tell me more about your family."
ELIZA was found to be surprisingly successful in causing emotional responses from users. However, none of ELIZA's code was designed to do so.
Upon observation, researchers discovered users subconsciously assuming ELIZA's questions implied interest in the topics discussed, even when they consciously knew that ELIZA did not simulate emotion.
Trolls are wingnut ELIZAs.
Like the Hate Radio stations that advertise "Liberals Hate Us" as their sole reason for being, trolls are intellectually and emotionally dead slabs of reflex-meat that exist solely to provoke a useless fury-response.

If it has a heart problem (it lacks ones), why is it considering getting into a physical altercation
Jethro Tull (born 1674 in Basildon, Berkshire; died 21 February 1741 in Shalbourne, Berkshire) was an English agricultural pioneer during the Industrial Revolution and the Agricultural Revolution.
Tull was educated at St John's College, Oxford and Gray's Inn. Influenced by the early Age of Enlightenment, he is considered to be one of the early proponents of a scientific (and especially empirical) approach to agriculture. He helped transform agricultural practices by inventing or improving numerous implements, the most notable being the seed drill, which he invented in 1701 while living in Crowmarsh Gifford. Before the seed drill was introduced, seeds were sown simply by being cast upon the ground, to germinate (or fail to germinate) where they landed. The seed drill significantly improved this process, by creating a hole of specific depth, dropping in a seed, and covering it over, three rows at a time. The result was an increased rate of germination, and a much-improved crop yield (up to eight times[1]).
Tull also advocated the use of horses over oxen, invented a horse-drawn hoe for clearing weeds, and made changes to the design of the plough which are still visible in modern versions. His interest in ploughing derived from his interest in weed control, and his belief that fertilising was unnecessary, on the basis that nutrients locked up in soil could be released through pulverisation. Although he was incorrect in his belief that plants obtained nourishment exclusively from such nutrients, he was aware that horse manure carried weed seeds, and hoped to avoid using it as fertiliser by pulverising the soil to enhance the availability of plant nutrients.

With regard to the picture “It’s a Wonderful Life”, [redacted] stated in substance that the film represented rather obvious attempts to discredit bankers by casting Lionel Barrymore as a “scrooge-type” so that he would be the most hated man in the picture. This, according to these sources, is a common trick used by Communists.
In addition, [redacted] stated that, in his opinion, this picture deliberately maligned the upper class, attempting to show the people who had money were mean and despicable characters. [redacted] related that if he made this picture portraying the banker, he would have shown this individual to have been following the rules as laid down by the State Bank Examiner in connection with making loans. Further, [redacted] stated that the scene wouldn’t have “suffered at all” in portraying the banker as a man who was protecting funds put in his care by private individuals and adhering to the rules governing the loan of that money rather than portraying the part as it was shown. In summary, [redacted] stated that it was not necessary to make the banker such a mean character and “I would never have done it that way.”

Incorrect. He always claimed that he didn't take the name from Dylan Thomas.
In a Playboy interview he went so far as to say that if he took the name from the Welsh poet, he would have called himself "Bob Thomas".
PLAYBOY: This comes under the category of setting the record straight: By the time you arrived in New York, you'd changed your name from Robert Zimmerman to Bob Dylan. Was it because of Dylan Thomas?
DYLAN: No. I haven't read that much of Dylan Thomas. It's a common thing to change your name. It isn't that incredible. Many people do it. People change their town, change their country. New appearance, new mannerisms. Some people have many names. I wouldn't pick a name unless I thought I was that person. Sometimes you are held back by your name. Sometimes there are advantages to having a certain name. Names are labels so we can refer to one another. But deep inside us we don't have a name. We have no name. I just chose that name and it stuck. ...
But getting back to Dylan Thomas, it wasn't that I was inspired by reading some of his poetry and going "Aha!" and changing my name to Dylan. If I thought he was that great, I would have sung his poems, and could just as easily have changed my name to Thomas.
PLAYBOY: Bob Thomas? It would have been a mistake.
DYLAN: Well, that name changed me. I didn't sit around and think about it too much. That is who I felt I was.

OK, I'll pull this apocryphal bit of the origins of Zimmermann's iconic pseudonym out of my ass. (That's a disclaimer, in case, like Tena, I'm writing English but not making myself clear.)
I heard or read not too long ago that Bob actually liked "Gunsmoke", or maybe it was just on TV at the time, and that he actually intended his stage name to be Bob Dillon. He couldn't be bothered correcting it when it was taken as "Dylan".
I have no idea if this is true, but I'm not making it up; it's purely coincidence that I just used the "happened to be on TV at the time" line when I was flaming the troll...

From the internet movie database bio for John Ford...
Because his friends and colleagues John Wayne, James Stewart and Ward Bond were conservative Republicans, many assumed that Ford was as well. According to his friends, family, and workers, nothing could be further from the truth, as he was an activist liberal Democrat. His favorite Presidents were Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. Ford once went up to the right-wing Victor McLaglen and Wayne on a film set and said, "You know, all of you guys should stop complaining. You made your money under Roosevelt." Wayne, who hated Roosevelt, said nothing and changed the subject. His respect for Ford meant that politics were rarely discussed.

Well, perhaps you're right:
Wikipedia on Ford...
However, despite his liberalism (he would often tease John Wayne for his conservatism despite the fact that Wayne received an exemption from serving in World War II), Ford eventually became a conservative Republican due to the events of the Vietnam War. Ford had always been a patriotic sort; he'd volunteered for the Navy in WWII despite being well past the age, and his leftist politics and criticism were always colored by his extreme love of country, as can be seen in Fort Apache, The Man who Shot Liberty Valance, and Young Mr. Lincoln. Yet when Ford was converted to Wayne's politics by his late observations: he saw young leftists burning the American flag which he had fought to protect; he saw the youth of America treating the American military, whom Ford also loved deeply, as "murderers"; he saw his old-friend-turned-enemy Henry Fonda on the other side; and he saw Fonda's daughter, without any grounding or intellectual recourse, becoming a leader of the left. Ford was horrified that being a liberal now meant spitting on the very things Ford held dear, and he registered Republican late in life.

Being liberal doesn't mean spitting on America, being liberal means upholding the whole raison d'etre for this country, god damn it.

Bas-O-Matic. I think you've got a win here. Thanks for "sharing."
BTW -- I own the same Casio keyboard that this guy used for the drumbeat to the "song."
The beat is #54 -- "rap."
I will never be able to play that keyboard again.
I think I'm going to burn it and then destroy it and then burn it again.
To forgive is truly great. But I do not consider that type of a cowardice to be a mistake. Giving into fear is wrong, but it more serious than a mistake. So I'll forgive, but I won't downplay it to an "Oops, my bad."

This grows uncanny. For the past half-hour or so I have been trying to convince myself to take a break, shower, get dressed, and buy milk at the Colonial Market at the shopping center just around the corner.
But for the past ten minutes, I have been trying to convince myself to at least brush and water down the bed-hair on my balding pate and just put some pants and shoes on-- the coat will cover this funky T-shirt-- and get that damn milk!
How pathetic is that? OK, I'll be back to check as soon as I get quasi-dressed. Sheesh.

Furthermore, the home hydrogen refueling set up can power your house in case of a power failure.

President Bush went to bed before Hussein's execution Friday night, but the White House released a statement after the news trickled out, which had been first reported at the U.S. based television station Al-Hurra in Iraq, minutes after 10 PM EST.
Spokesman Scott Stanzel said the president was told of the impending hanging Friday afternoon and went to bed shortly before it took place, with instructions not to be woken up.
The "Infant in Chief" - going to bed at 7 p.m. Or more likely, just passed out drunk.

That's too bad. Didn't seem that the bldg that put in it's place was all that great.
I actually went to the Orpheum when it was the old Malco theatre. Saw quite a few movies there. The last one being "Kelly's Heroes" in ~ 1970.
After they reopened it as the Orpheum in 1978 or 79, before it was remodeled, I caught Nazareth and Thin Lizzt there. At the time it still had the hand painted walls and ceilings -very ornate.
When they redid the place the old paintings on the walls were covered over with ornate wallpaper, but it wasn't as nice, IMO.
Saw Stevie RAy there in 1985 after the remodeling.
