for those with sundance, 'blogwars' is coming up at 7p
Blogwars, feh, not as much fun as YouTube wars.
What is blogwars?
Peace be with you! Here's to a better year in 2007.
Hey, this James Brown guy is pretty good.

here's the description:
In 2004, political bloggers came of age. They propelled Howard Dean from fringe candidate to front-runner. They took on Dan Rather and won. And they charted the course for the "swiftboating" of John Kerry. As the 2006 mid-term elections approached, bloggers were preparing for battle again. Filmmakers James Rogan and Phil Craig's sharp documentary examines how online democratic activism is shaping important elections by focusing on the decisive Connecticut senate race and Ned Lamont's challenge to incumbent Joe Lieberman.

So.
Saddam is dead.
And it makes very little difference.
I assume that it's being arranged to have the noose flown to DC so Chimpy can have another infantile "trophy" to caress.

What if America went to war in Iraq and Iran won?
U.S., Iran Praise Execution of Saddam
Dec 30 6:09 PM US/Eastern
By JENNIFER QUINN
Associated Press Writer
LONDON
Saddam Hussein's execution found the United States and Iran sharing rare common ground on Saturday, with both countries saying the hanging of the former dictator was in the best interest of Iraq, its people and the region.

I think a correction is needed. Saddam is still dead.

"Sir, wait. No. Now sir, you can't do that, sir, we have to preserve that for the Smithsonian. Sir, please don't, oh never mind."
I know Saddam's been dead for close to 24 hours now and that we should move on to other things, but I couldn't help make an observation that gave me pause.
One of my commenters just said that "it wasn't an execution; it was a performance", which just about perfectly says it all.
I'm wondering what kind of funeral W contemplates for himself, and who would attend.
How about the noose winds up in Sen. Feliz Macacawitz's office?

I'm sure you're correct. As I said, Chimpy disrupts the proceedings with his ridiculous security crap, and it has to always be about him anyway. He has no respect for anyone, so it's quite fitting that much of the world feels the same about him.

How old is Betty Ford?

That too. But he got the last word re Chimpy and his stupid war. Not too shabby.
In the Age of Jingo, all Presidents are gods.
Not even. Wait till Carter dies.
How old is Betty Ford?
About 12 years older than dirt.
Ford was kindof okay, and a welcome relief after Nixon and Agnew. At least he appointed John-Paul Stevens to the Supreme Court.
Ugh there's Dick and Dole
Chimp's dying words:
Condi, Condi, Condi!!!!
Betty Ford: Born, April 18, 1918 Chicago, Illinois
Ugh there's Dick and Dole
You mean Dick and Dickless, right?
Not even. Wait till Carter dies.
Not to worry. Al Gore will be in the White House, and he'll make sure he gets a proper send-off. 
And since when are presidential funerals on party night (Saturday). What's wrong with Tuesday?
About 12 years older than dirt.
Barndog,
For some reason I thought she was quite a bit younger than he was. Was I wrong?
I would imagine that Betty Ford is in her late eighties, early nineties as well.
When Carter dies, the MSM will do a separated at birth montage with Hitler and Neville Chamberlain. They can't stand that pious, hard-working fucker because he represents everything they are not.
So the pathetic little petulant wimp in chief is going to be a no-show for this Ford thing?
Thank You Dr. Barmpot Shouty-Crackers
All this has to be such a strain for someone her age
Oops - Dr. B. posted the answer to my question and I must owe her something for that.
blogwars is actually pretty good. it's fun to see the faces behind the blogs. the guy behind dumpjoe and 'the kiss' is a retired truck driver and had never worked with a computer before. he said he didn't know you could push f5 to refresh -- he was shutting his computer off each time. lol.
kos, john amato, john avarosis, chris bowers, malkin, the ol' perfessor are all in it
damn, wish I knew where that stray dog is, pouring rain. Haven't seen him since morning. Fed him a big breakfast.
It's awfully odd -- as I watch the shrunken figure of Betty Ford, attempting with great dignity at 88 to be stoic and alert, and watch the young military pall-bearers in their prime, I can't help thinking all this pomp and pageantry for Gerald Ford is in some way happening because we, as a people, are so bereft of leadership and honor in the current day -- that Ford is being elevated beyond his actual status to compensate for the benighted Bush's deep failure.

plantsman, have a case of Sprite Zero - on me.
I'm certain you may have nailed it right there.
that Ford is being elevated beyond his actual status to compensate for the benighted Bush's deep failure.
plantsman
A lot of truth to that, isn't there. We (not us, but the country) are nostalgic for non-crazy mediocrity. If only we (not us) would get it through our collective marble noggin that we really can change these things.
But dang, a NOCTURAL presidential funeral...and on a weekend? That's whack. Given him a proper sendoff on a Tuesday!
I just updated the live cam page on my bloggie to give you Nashville weather conditions, so you'll know whether or not to 'spect me at lunch.

plantsman, lowercase
Possibly we make heroes because we feel we need them, that this era has lost the honorableness of former glories (but were they really former glories?). Ford was merely the latest iteration.
I like the "comments since you started typing" counter.
Did Nixon lie in state?
About 12 years older than dirt.
Barndog, Dirty Damm Hippy
I actually admire her, she had the courage to talk about things that were taboo at the time - her own struggles with breast cancer and substance abuse, removing the stigma associated with them.
And she didn't kill a kid, like Pickles.
If only we (not us) would get it through our collective marble noggin that we really can change these things
First thing we need to do is, convince that 50+% of the electorate that doesn't vote - that their vote in fact would make a difference.
we are watching obeisance not to ford, but to the "Presidency".
I have a great deal of respect for Betty also

I think you've hit the nail on the head.
Did Nixon lie in state?
Nixon lied in state, out his ass and throughout his career.
A lot of truth to that, isn't there
Yes. We've been largely leaderless for the last 6 years, and that is finally getting through to people and it makes everyone want to look for leaders everywhere.
It's really sad, this state of affairs.
plantsman, you're right. the MSM would like to have a monarchical form of govt. in the U.S. look how they used to drool over news about the Brit royal family, as if to say .... if only we could have a royal family here to endlessly cover
having a king means never having to think. but you get to dress up in funny clothes and go to lots and lots of posh parties. that's all the MSM losers want from life. they crave it like a crack addict.
I believe Mr. Ford will be lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda until Tuesday.
Did Nixon lie in state?
scout prim
I was thinking about that too. Wasn't his funeral held at his library? Clinton and the ex-prezzes showed up, and most of the cong leadership, etc, but I don't think it was an official State funeral.
scoutprime - O I love Betty. Jeez - how can you not? She was just great.
of the A List to let us peasants enjoy their little game.
tena,
yeah, it covers all the recognizable names. i think it's a very good primer for people who don't understand 'em.
but, believe me, if you get a look at the guy behind dumpjoe, he's one of us -- sitting in his lounger with his laptop on the other side of his rather considerable belly.
There was nothing glorious about Ford. He was monkey that flew out of Nixon's ass. He was a moron.
And a criminal.
His biggest cowardly crime? Keeping his mouth shut about the Bush crimes in Iraq until his death.
A pussy to the end.
linda - I'm sure that's so - all of it.
It was just snark.

In all fairness, I think failure to speak up is more an issue for which the media and current office-holders should be held accountable, as opposed to a 93-year-old man who's been a private citizen for 30 years.

I disagree, Cow. I think it more than likely that Jimmy Carter will be the next to die, and he will be the first Democratic president since Johnson to do so.
I think we'll see the same pomp and circumstance, even if not the same coverage. I hope I'm wrong about the coverage, however.
Indeed I think Betty is a helluva woman. Don't know what you folks think of drug treatment centers, but one helped me save my own cocaine addicted ass.
I can't fault Betty Ford. I only wish my own mom had had the succesful treatment Mrs. Ford got for breast cancer. Betty was cured!
I think GHWB will be dying any day, now, to be honest.

Stinky
Yes but.... he's getting all this attention and hoopla, and his remarks would have gotten some attention and provoked discussion, because he wasn't just a private citizen. I think he owed it to the country to speak up.
Then again, as I think of it, if he had said that loudly and publicly, it would've been a more clear and forceful denunciation of this was than Clinton has made thus far.
Oh, gag me. Fat Denny on my teevee. Why can't the fucker stand up straignt?
As long as Ford is news, the word 'impeachment' is news. Let's remind people how easy it can be!

Diane C. - I think you're right. I know when Ann Richards died, she lay in state in the Rotunda here and god, the people came from everywhere and stood in line forever to see her.

I will bet you anything that Monica is the chief topic with the Big Dawg dies.

Everyone wants to cut slack to everyone. And then bitch about fucking rotten the world is. Gerald Rudolph Ford was one of the reasons. He pardoned a war criminal who killed more than a million people and started two secret wars against two neutral, innocent nations: Cambodia and Laos.

and the Drano stream of purulent hate commences.
I'm recommending to everyone, the most proper way to honor Jerry Ford.
On the national day of mourning? Go to a football game. Play a round of golf. Enjoy it. Not a damned thing wrong with that, not at all.

I have said nothing good about Ford and I've said repeatedly that we wouldn't be in the mess we're in if he hadn't pardoned Nixon. If Nixon had gone to jail, Reagan and Bush I might have thought twice about Iran/Contra. If they hadn't gotten away with that, we wouldn't be where we are right now.
Presidents who break the law have so far avoided paying any real price. And we're paying the price for that.

Yes, it is. Until he died, he was just Gerald Ford, for heaven's sake. No one gave a shit. Really. He went into retirement and disappeared.
Getting drunk is a great way to honor the Fords. That's what Dubbya's doin' right now.
"Oranges and Lemons" is such a good album!
Even "The Loving."
God, that Jon Anderson video is fucking terrible. He sings like a natural Alvin and the Chipmunks, but he's a pussy too. And the hands waving in the foreground look like store windo mannequins with their arms up and some stage hands are waving the torsos back and forth beneath the camera view.

Tena's right, criminal Presidents must pay, otherwise there is no healing or forward movement.

There would have been much wailing and gnashing of teeth about criticizing a president in *time of war*.
You're either with us or against us.
Your pain bearable?
Not really, more tolerable than anything. The Dilaudid I was taking has become almost non-effective. Same for the Neurontin - it was knocking me out at bedtime, but not anymore. The narcotics are overruling my body's ability to sleep and be calm.
I was in bed asleep a whopping 2 hours last night, before I woke like I'd slept 10. A wonderful time I'm having. Although, I am using the awake time to work on my Appeal Review.

Betty and Jerry Ford were married for 58 years. I don't believe I would have the strength to even stand up, if my partner of 58 years were suddenly gone.
I've seen more than one woman do it, Dr. B. Many more than one.

The Pardon power doesn't specify, so it's been interpreted as a pretty blanket authority to immunize people against, you know, Justice.

Ford was un zero a la izquierda.
He did not hold his tongue: the interview giving Ford's candid opinion against the war was embargoed by dubya.
What I read was Ford gave permission to publish his comments only after his death. Either way it is a sad commentary that a former President, especially one who has experience with quagmires, couldn't or wouldn't put in his two cents.

The usual reason given for that unwritten rule about ex presidents not criticising the current president is that the exes don't have access to all the security/intelligence reports and therefore don't have all the data upon which decisions are made.
In this case, however, and as we all well know, said reports were obtained directly from the vice president's anus, so I guess that isn't a valid excuse this time.

At the beginning of the Iraq War? Are you kidding? It would not have done anything but cause the media to screech about Carter and Ford as traitors. And they would have.
Look, Ford deserves a lot of coals heaped on his head for pardoning Nixon. I don't care if you kick him around on the basis of the hold he put on the statement, which I agree was pretty chickenshit. But I can't get too excited about the possibility it might have made a difference. Sorry, I just don't think anything would have.
But certainly, Gerry Ford wouldn't have had any impact. Even with Jimmy Carter thrown in. Especially with Carter thrown in, actually.

yeah, i think ford's opinion if made public at the time would have been utterly ignored. he was never looked at as an influential foreign policy master; and besides he'd had no record as making any notable statements since his presidency. his time was spent golfing. all this cable talk about the booby interview, giving it some weight is due to ford's death and the chatterbox desire to build him up.

Dec. 29, 2006 - In a highly unusual move, Sen. Barbara Boxer of California has rescinded an award to an Islamic activist in her home state because of the man’s connections to a major American Muslim organization that recently has been courted by leading political figures and even the FBI.
Boxer’s office confirmed to NEWSWEEK that she has withdrawn a “certificate of accomplishment” to Sacramento activist Basim Elkarra after learning that he serves as an official with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). After directing her staff to look into CAIR, Boxer “expressed concern” about some past statements and actions by the group, as well as assertions by some law enforcement officials that it “gives aid to international terrorist groups,” according to Natalie Ravitz, the senator’s press spokeswoman.

Control our population

EU Massively Behind US In Noncommercial Cancer Research Funding
A Plos Medicine article reviews the sources of cancer funding in the European Union and the United States and finds Europe is greatly lagging in per capita spending in cancer research from funding sources which are not for-profit businesses. The US federal government's National Cancer Institute alone (not the only source of cancer research funding at the federal level) spends more than two and a half times the total spent by all non-commercial sources for cancer research in Europe.

Well at least they show Ford's flag-draped coffin. Which is more than our fallen soldiers get. Maybe Snarley Dick should go give a nice speech at one of their funerals.
I've not paid any attention to the funeral at all. But I just read at Americablog that Scowcroft, Paul O'Neill and Cheney are honorary pall bearers. That's lovely. No wonder W is scarce.

This isn't his funeral, that's on Tuesday. This is some other terribly long ceremony related to his body arriving to lie (lay?) in state.
So on Tuesday, there'll be even more of this crap.
And the drunken frat boy will be there.

Depends on the terms of the trust fund. If they have to show up to get their $$$$$ they'll be there.

National Cathedral then on to Grand Rapids.
So Bush won't be coming here.
I for one am shocked. SHOCKED! that Cheney is in favor of the pardoning of people who subvert democracy:
"It was this man, Gerald R. Ford, who led our republic safely though a crisis that could have turned to catastrophe," said Cheney, speaking in the Capitol Rotunda where Ford's body rested in a flag-draped casket. "Gerald Ford was almost alone in understanding that there can be no healing without pardon."
I have it on good account that he then muttered under his breath: "Take a lesson, presidential contenders in '08, lest I shoot you in the face."

Actually, reading the CNN article, I can't tell. I think there's another one in DC on Tuesday, and the the cermony in Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
So Bush won't be coming here.
He cannot be bothered to cut his vacation plans short so I doubt he can be bothered to go to Michigan for a president who is not St Ronnie of the Raygun or St Dicky of Watergate. Of course it is an excuse to fuck off for an entire day with no criticism. So y'all may not be that lucky.

I had totally forgotten him until somebody mentioned him at the MiniEschacon on Thursday.
(Where a good time was had by all. Thanks for putting it together RIL.)
The woman, whose identity has not been revealed by Sant Pau hospital, gave birth by caesarian section on Saturday having previously undergone in vitro fertilization in the United States, according to the national news agency EFE.
In the United States? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Amen, Terry-- regarding the Saddam hanging video, specifically.
To make a slightly off-the-wall parallel-- from the ridiculous to the sublime, perhaps-- this evening's recycled "Seinfeld" episode was the one where Jerry is annoyed that a friend of Elaine's habitually kisses him whenever they meet and depart. (He also gets annoyed when Kramer induces affectionate greetings in their apartment bldg. because the same kind of kissing starts up among all of the tenants.)
When Elaine asks Jerry what's so bad about it, he replies (more or less) that it bothers him that it's obligatory-- every time a compulsive kisser turns up, he feels trapped or forced to submit.
And-- yes, that was a long way to go for very little-- I feel the same way about the social necessity to affirm that Saddam was irredeemably and eminently despicable. It makes me want to burst out with, "Hey, I actually liked him there towards the end!"
With the caveat that I'm really only referring to the abstract and artificial impression generated by a handful of TV clips, I must admit that I felt a pang of sympathy for him when they first broadcast those awful images of Saddam getting a dental exam. It was a classic brutal public humiliation in the tradition of the Spanish Inquisition. Oh, I expected it, all right, in spite of what they say.
I have that reflexive hostility for any authority manipulating and coercing me to feel one way or the other about things. Thus, I refuse to piously venerate Saint Gerald, and to properly loathe Saddam.
Curiously, I remember feeling the same way about, of all people, Fidel Castro when I was a kid. The nuns, and I guess my parents, made it clear that he was a super-villain, repugnant and hateful. I thought he seemed sort of cool, maybe even faintly beatnik-like. In any event, even then it bugged me that we were all supposed to hate the guy to prove that we were respectable. So, whatever the basis of my perversion, it has a long history.
I wonder if it was the Ford family that asked Bush not to come....

I find myself loathing the EU more than the US all of a sudden.
At least the US is balls-out "fuck it, let's kill some folks."
This EU statement is utterly nauseating in its hypocrisy:
The European Union (EU) leaders and officials expressed on Saturday the EU's opposition to the death penalty against former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.
"The passing of Saddam Hussein closes a long, painful chapter in the history of Iraq. While the EU opposes capital punishment as a matter of principle, Saddam's trial and punishment mean that those who commit crimes against humanity cannot escape justice," EU commissioner on external relations Benita Ferrero-Waldner said.
The commissioner made the comment in a written statement in response to the execution of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who was hanged earlier on Saturday.

Um... a "chocolate person"?
An unprecedented alliance, including the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties, Charter 88, Justice, Liberty and a host of constitutional reform organisations, is to be formed to campaign for a new bill of rights, amid growing concerns that laws protecting personal liberty are out of date.
The formation of the broadest coalition in history devoted to constitutional change comes at a time when public support for a new bill of rights is at a record level. An ICM poll for the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust finds that 77 per cent of people now agree with the statement, 'Britain needs a new bill of rights to protect the liberty of the individual'. This compares with 71 per cent in a similar poll in 2000.

There is something meta about critic critics. A sample of fans of simels:
Steve Simels is one of the smartest, funniest, most perceptive critics on the planet. He writes with zing, precision and (above all) with real heart--he can do more in 50 words than some writers can do in 5000. I've been a fan since the early 70's, and I owe him a huge debt of thanks for all the good music and movies he's brought to my attention. May he live forever and write even longer. Viva Steve!
Now that is just over the top. How much did that review cost you, simels?

One of our team bowled a 39 her first game. LOL. She went home and told her husband, he said, "that's impossible!!"
But she did. Hilarious.
I watched the first few minutes of the local ten o'clock news-- with the sound off. I was eating, after all. They moved from Ford to Saddam to James Brown-- a trio united by death. I did listen long enough to hear a few seconds of "person on the street reaction". Naturally, the shallow jackasses were uniformly supportive of the lynching. "I'm fine with it," one twentyish white male imbecile purred.
I wondered if anybody, whether average citizen or pundit, would be idiotic enough to opine that the relatively muted reaction in Iraq and the ME proved something one way or the other. Oh, of course the news showed footage of some cafe in Baghdad in which customers were wildly cheering and applauding.
I expect that the absence of an immediate drastic reaction will comfort and reassure the nation, and even somehow be seen as a ratification of the righteousness of the lynching. There's something to be said for "living in the moment", but Amerika is notorious for its blindness to time and history-- and it shows.
