In Chicago, on November 3, 2006, Malachi Ritscher doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire by the highway during morning rush hour, to protest the ongoing and immoral war in Iraq. Media coverage has been scant, but the word is spreading.

Evening, freethinkers
Everyone ready to shake off this year and try a new one?
Hi Plum!
I could have stopped you at 2nd but I'm a gentleman and all. 
FUCK BUSH
I am called the spoiler for a reason.
Now, that Times Select thing is really, really bad.
I refuse to pay, so Kristof goes unread.
Not a bad thing, I can assure you.
I could have stopped you at 2nd but I'm a gentleman and all.
Central Scrutinizer

Everyone ready to shake off this year and try a new one?
Ripley
Not yet, I have a big bash tomorrow, which some people here have refused to attend, and as such, will miss out on.
In the spirit of the New Year, allow me to fantasize that George W. Bush Jr. has magically transformed into some sort of noble stateman, instead of being the anti-Constitutional war-mongering crap-flinging chimp that he is, ever was, and ever shall be.
Also let me write a polite letter requesting that North Korea's Kim Jong Il voluntarily relinquish power and open up North Korea into a thriving and well-run democracy.
Amy Poehler doing a great Nancy Grace spoof!
Count me in, David - in spirit, at least.
1watt is a moron.
Also, the Brits are adopting the US model of awarding incompetence:
John Scarlett, who took responsibility for the error-ridden dossier that justified the war in Iraq, is knighted in today's New Year's Honours list. The award will enrage peace campaigners, who have accused the veteran spymaster of saving Tony Blair's skin over the flawed case for the invasion.
I'm off to bed y'all.
G'night.
If Kristoff's first suggestion is not apolgizing before eating the barrel of a gun, I am not much interested
hello, dears. We are close to shoving 2006 up the Annals of Time, eh?

Saw Poehler doing this before I ever saw Grace. I thought the spoof was over the top, until I actually watched Nancy and realized it was spot on.
"Tonight, tonight I'm falling where the peaceful waters flow
Where the unicorn's the last one at the water hole
I have found a love so precious, like an emerald so bold
It's a firelight escaping from the jeweller's hold"

All that crap about how he rescues third world women from slavery and prostitution personally; he fancies himself a sort of two-fisted, scotch drinking macho foreign correspondent out of an old movie, and it's damned embarrassing to read (not to mention creepy). It's l'histoire c'est moi -- or as somebody said, he's practically the Steve Irwin of pundits.

I have been haunting there a bit.
I never met an atheist I could like. Surely, somewhere on this planet, there is a friendly atheist, but I haven’t bumped into one yet.
The atheists who have crossed my path are obnoxious. They create the world in their own image and likeness, where only they are right or reasonable, and everyone else is either a fool or fanatic. (Any atheist who doubts him/herself enough to benefit someone else’s opinion is not a dogmatic atheist, but an agnostic: see below).
You can’t have a dialogue with dogmatic atheists. Because they are so sure they know everything, they never listen to intelligent people. They are mirror images of the religious fundamentalists, who -- despite their dogmatism -- at least have their enthusiasms in the right place. The worst thing for society would be to let any of them have power over the body politic. Scratch a dogmatic atheist and you likely will find a wannabe Robespierre or worse.

Ford, a onetime college football star, would have understood that New Year's weekend is a difficult time for a funeral. His 6:30 ceremony was tucked in between the 4:30 p.m. Alamo Bowl (Texas vs. Iowa) and the 8 p.m. Chick-Fil-A Bowl (Virginia Tech vs. Georgia).

Conservatives were quick to condemn Reid and Durbin, who proceeded with four other senators on a trip to South America, knowing they would miss the rites in Washington. "He's the incoming Senate majority leader, for crying out loud, and he can't even show a little bit of respect?" commentator Mike Gallagher demanded on Fox News.
But the disregard was bipartisan. The White House sent out a press release from Crawford, Tex., detailing the logistics of last night's service, then added an asterisk: "Please note that President George W. Bush will not be attending this event."

Canada's bowl game...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gar...ki/
Garbage_Bowl
The Garbage Bowl is a yearly football matchup that takes place on the 1st day of January each year in Montreal West, Quebec, Canada. Overseen by the Montreal West Garbage Bowl Association, this match has taken place every year since 1950 on the Royal West Academy football field.
The match takes place between two teams, The Northern Combines and the Southern Bombers. The players are not paid and volunteer their time and effort in order to raise donations. Historically, the Northern Combines are made up of Montreal West residents living North of the C.P.R. Crossing while the Southern Bombers are made up of those living South of it. This division isn't stressed as much as in the early years, as many non-residents now participate in the game. Many players have played the game yearly for upwards of 20 years and the age of players varies considerably between teenagers and those in their 50's. Each team is made up of a 30 man roster (on average).
Proceeds from the game are donated to children's and youth organizations supported by the Montreal Westward Rotary Club. Each year the Garbage Bowl donates upwards of $10,000 in this way.
Examples of Garbage Bowl ButtonsSome of the proceeds come from the purchasing of Garbage Bowl Buttons, with a new one being produced each year. Examples can be seen in a picture on the right-hand side of this page.
The Garbage Bowl is known for its generous donations and for the fact that grown men are playing football in their pyjamas. But more than anything, it's the fact that the game is often played on frigid cold days and involves icy and/or snow laden conditions

Her "Prayer" becomes a gospel song, which is a conceptual masterstroke above and beyond the fact that the performance is just gorgeous on an aural level.

One of my other fave Burt Bachrach moments is Elvis Costello and the man himself doing "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" in the second Austin Powers movie.
One of the things that's so remarkable about Burt is that he's a totally classically trained composer -- he studied with Darius Milhaud, for crying out loud -- with all the harmonic sophistication that entails, and yet he grokked -- apparently intuitively -- black pop as if his background had been gospel and blues.
Which makes him -- dare I say it -- the true successor to Gershwin?

I'll buy that.
Hey, I completely understand Bachrach's affinity to black pop, since I share it as well. I can't explain it, but it's like home for me.
And I'm white as a freaking sheet.

ronjazz
Obviously, they do.
It's late, I'm tired.
Tomorrow night I plan on being falling down drunk, and possibly obnoxious.
Catch you bats later.
The major difference between Gershwin and Bacharach, I would argue, is that Bacharach's music shows his classical training, is is more genteel, less workmanlike, the result being that Burt's stuff will never be the stuff of jazz musicians as Gershwins was and is. As accessible and beautiful as Bacharach's music is, it doesn't have the "common" touch that Gershwin's did.

The three miles was just by the time the announcement was public.

That album him and Costello did is great... probably Bacharach's best work since he split with Hal David.
BTW, here's two questions: why did he and David split up? I have a theory (that is mine) that it involved Bacharach's apparent belief that he could actually sing. The other question is: does Bacharach actually believe he can sing? He keeps making efforts in that direction every now and then, and they're mercifully short, thank God. He's the only guy on the planet that's a worse singer than I am.

elvis costello so badly wants to be the burt-ster ... but there's only one ... burt bacharach's stuff can be hellishly complicated to play, lots of changes in time signature, but all to excellent artistic effect. the comparison to gershwin is apt, they both wrote clever, memorable and singable melodies over complex chord changes. now i'm jealous and hate myself ... again.

Such as Ntodd Simels, Thers and others whom wish to brain fuck you.
The other question is: does Bacharach actually believe he can sing? He keeps making efforts in that direction every now and then, and they're mercifully short, thank God. He's the only guy on the planet that's a worse singer than I am.
No, I think he just likes to sing. I like to sing too, even though I can't anymore.

Gershwin's music swings. Bacharach's does not.
I think he just likes to sing. I like to sing too...
Me too - but I don't make albums with it!
Seriously, when I hear the melody of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" - esp. the little out-of-tune flourish at the end of lines like "too big for his bed" - I think "Bacharach wrote that on purpose so he could sing it that way and get away with it."
Same with the incredibly-simplified melody of "Close to You".
Steve, if you can point me toward a Bachrach composition that holds a candle to An American In Paris, or Rhapsody in Blue, I'd appreciate it. George Gershwin's pop songs were made by Ira Gershwin's lyrics, but they hold together instrumentally without them. Can you really say the same about Bachrach's compositions without Hal David's lyrics?

"Asperger's Disorder is a milder variant of Autistic Disorder. Both Asperger's Disorder and Autistic Disorder are in fact subgroups of a larger diagnostic category. This larger category is called either Autistic Spectrum Disorders, mostly in European countries, or Pervasive Developmental Disorders ("PDD"), in the United States. In Asperger's Disorder, affected individuals are characterized by social isolation and eccentric behavior in childhood. There are impairments in two-sided social interaction and non-verbal communication. Though grammatical, their speech is peculiar due to abnormalities of inflection and a repetitive pattern. Clumsiness is prominent both in their articulation and gross motor behavior. They usually have a circumscribed area of interest which usually leaves no space for more age appropriate, common interests. Some examples are cars, trains, French Literature, door knobs, hinges, cappucino, meteorology, astronomy or history."

Bacharach uses mades and classical harmonic motion, as well as odd time organization. Gershwin did 8 bars of I-VI-II-V, did it again, and then up a forth to the bridge. Meat and potatoes. Bacharach is dessert and port.

I know what you mean, but if memory serves, Gershwin had some music theory training as a kid.
The classic story is that after he was a big success, he asked Maurice Ravel for composition lessons, and Ravel turned him down saying (paraphrase) why would you want to become a mediocre Ravel when you're already a great Gershwin?

Gershwin innovated tasty voicings with the third in the base, moving up chromatically - see american in paris. Bacharach also came up with charateristic harmonies, mostly added note chords that dress up clever songs, but never came up with anything that has the scope and effect of Gershwin's orchestral pieces, that have harmonic and thematic development that goes way beyond a three minute song, as well as the lapidary short piano pieces. No contest - Gershwin was much more than a songwriter.

It is pretty much rhythm changes. Rhapsody In Blue is very american-industrial sounding to me. rhythms of the city, sounds of machines. Gershwin's music was more user-friendly than Bacharach's, and less cute. I'm not trying to denigrate his creations in any way, he's the greatest.

well, you can argue Summertime as modal, or you can call it a recharacterized blues, but it does utilize the standard II-V-I cadences in both sections. Bacharach has lots of sections where he doesn't use diatonic harmony, Walk On By has a bit of that. I think that Bacharach's time frame vs. Gershwin's has something to do with the differences in vocabulary. But, they are both serious melodists and excellent songwriters. I wonder if bacharach will have the same staying power with other artists covering his stuff? Summertime has been recorded an unimaginable number of times.

I love the Bachrach/Davis stuff. Matter of fact, I've got a colony of earworms assaulting my brain after reading this thread. He and David may be the successors to the Gershwins (George and Ira), but George had a stronger command of the long form. What's a Bachrach work longer than 6 minutes?

But was there bacon?
No. Banderas is an Arab in the movie so no pig flesh. He also turns some mead saying that he is forbidden the fermentation of grapes and wheat. But upon learning mead is the fermentation of honey, he gets liquored up and sleeps with the Norse beauty.
Vikings impregnated the Gallic women living along the English Channel: hence the blue-eyed Normans. No word on whether Viking women impregnated Gallic men, though.

I was at a dinner once where someone actually said that for the grace.
I cracked up.
The idea of Jekyll as a coke snorter, turning into a Hyde who is a swinger with giant afro - his transformation even sprouts rings and gold chains - and a permanent erection that hisses when doused with water, is an appealing twist. The film snaps along merrily, unconcerned whether a gag works or not. Some of the gags are quite funny - like where Jekyll grabs a car, uses the woman passenger's Mace as breath-freshener and jams her into the sliding roof where her screaming is taken for an ambulance siren, or the parody of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) where a line moving across a map represents a Transatlantic train journey.

That's the one. I should have been more specific. When he asks for chicken sushi, he gets a raw chicken leg with a little wasabi on the side.
Leak can be wildly unpredictable. when he scrambles out of the pocket his pass ratings tumble, but during the SEC XChampionship his best passes were scranbling out of the pocket.
he's very good at reading defenses and checking off, but when he runs the draw he gets all squiggly.
I want to think he can pull it off, but I fear he is the weakest link. fortunately, we have Tebow to spell him.

I didn't realize that happened. Unreal.
The new year will bring good things to all those here who are honest and good.
for the rest ... ahem ... the new year will bring more of the same lonely pain, self-hatred, loathing and despondency that this year has wrought, due to one's own cheap, self-defeating, childish tantrums.

Indeed!!! Merci!
my 2007 prediction is that now that the old politics of denial, smear, and corruption have become too threadbare to peddle anymore, we will move on to a wonderfully refreshing political renewal in the form of a brand new politics of denial, smear, and corruption.

The video's not much, but the vocal is Nancy Wilson singing the Gershwins. "Someone to Watch Over Me". Good night, or good morning, or good grief.
Good night, fellow travelers.

Tacitus -- i disagree. GWB is going to do a Hitler in the bunker by March and spare us all the paperwork of impeachment, conviction and hanging. he'll probably try a goal-line defense but his mother and father will bitch slap his cloth-diapered ass and put him back in his crib, where he was tonight, and then smother him with a pillow or give him a strychnine laced teething ring.

but lying politics will carry on, no matter how its little heart hurts from the loss

Well, it is time to be off.
It is the last day of the year that was, make it count.
GWB is a singular malevolence, in my opinion. he goes, most of the vile stuff around him goes as well. people will blink and rub their eyes and say, "what the fuck just happened." ?
My prediction, since I brought it up, is that in spite of the fact that everybody -- and I don't just mean every body here; I mean everybody -- knows what's happening and what needs to be done, things are going to sail along much the same in spite of some changes in characters and set dressing.
i am making a pious new year's resolution to do my level best to lie around on my ass more and have many more lewd thoughts

but as a country we are so blessed with a superabundance of shameless liars and trained manipulators! surely somebody could pick up the baton and carry on?

Not really -- they caught normal people off guard because normal people could not believe anyone could be such shameless, open and vile liars. now things are coming back around. it's not just a faith thing for me, i believe in suing the fucking bastards in federal court until they obey the law. explaining your sorry ass to a federal judge does wonders.

Everytime we tell it, it lives. (even if it doesn't wind up being exposed in a court in the Hague) And something tells me that we won't forget and we will keep repeating it.
I'm more concerned about a society that falls to the level of snuff films becoming the favoured choice of entertainment.
as I'm not quite sure where the iron might be.
ha! i finally found mine in the back of the bookshelf. i don't know how it got there. i usually leave it on top of the stove.

A different kind of porn, really. I must admit I find this aspect of the whole thing the most upsetting by far, that we are doing what the history books used to condemn: treating an execution as entertainment.
Vicarious thrills. Perhaps if these people actually you know signed up and fought they wouldn't find snuff tapes quite so entertaining. And maybe we wouldn't have to recruit from foreign lands. I think what gets me is the sheer delight with which these people lie, cheat and steal. Absolutely no moral base whatsoever.

I think at first the only Iraqi TV carrying it was the station associated with Maliki and the government.
Not sure now.
United for Peace and Justice is counting the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq and they plan on protesting about it. On January 27, they will march in Washington, D.C.
So far, the discontent has not translated into large anti-war demonstrations, with events over the last year attracting sometimes only a handful of activists, up to sometimes a few hundred, at each place. Turnout could be similarly low-key this time.
majority of merkans oppose the war, but, but not enough to protest it...what a sad dichotomy....
The majority of Americans are stressed out trying to make their mortgage payments. They have no dog in this fight and are trusting that the wise old men of Washington have some clue as to what they are doing.

It's more that protesting may not work (as the media rarely reports on it in a meaningful way) and it still costs money and time to do, money and time which are needed for food and housing and transportation.

Poll: Americans see gloom, doom in 2007 By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Another terrorist attack, a warmer planet, death and destruction from a natural disaster. These are among Americans' grim predictions for the United States in 2007.
Rather goes with the above, donnit? If the setbacks and disasters keep coming too thick and fast, unceasingly (think the GOP scandal defense - bring out more and more scandals until the outrage and prosecution drive just dissapates among them), then what's the point of protest? The assumption is that said protest won't work, will be ignored, will cost resources that one can't afford, and by the time you get home, there will be a backlog of fresh outrages. Little wonder few are protesting, if this is their thinking.
i don't know if it's deliberate or not, but the effect of having so many disasters and scandals is to 'normalize' disaster and scandal.

I heard on the radio he had been buried in Tikrit already, with just a few family members present.
I'm pretty sure the carbon-frozen saddam is being displayed at chimpy the hutt's private office
I believe I read they were going to bury the body in a secret location. I don't count on this being secret very long when you consider how someone managed to video the execution with a cell phone. Jeebus, what kind of security are we talking here?

from wikipedia:
It was a common belief in some countries that a mandrake would grow where the semen of a hanged man dripped on to the earth; this would appear to be the reason for the methods employed by the alchemists who "projected human seed into animal earth". In Germany, the plant is known as the Alraune: the novel (later adapted as a film) Alraune by Hanns Heinz Ewers is based around a soulless woman conceived from a hanged man's semen, the title referring to this myth of the Mandrake's origins.

From the Rude Pundit:
You don't know where to start mourning today, whether for noted wife beater James Brown, Nixon's BFF Gerald Ford, or torture aficionado Saddam Hussein, not to mention residual tears for Augusto Pinochet and his magical people-disappearing act.
Saddam should have known, after the prior ten years, that the US government will never leave you alone once it ensnares you--like the IRS.

Yup. Morning somewhere ain't it?
Three explorers are exploring an undiscovered land but are captured by the natives.
The chief of the native tribe tells the three he has good news and bad. The bad news is that the explorers are to be killed and their skin used to make a new canoe. The good news is that they each may choose the manner of their death.
The French explorer chooses poison and shouts "Vive le France!" before downing the poison. The English explorer asks for a pistol, says "God save the Queen!" and then shoots himself in the head. The New Yorker asks for a fork.
Perplexed, the chief hands the New Yorker a fork. The New Yorker proceeds to begin stabbing himself all over with the fork. As the New York explorer lay dying in a large pool of his own blood, the chief asks "Why would you choose such a horrible way to die?" The New Yorker responds, "Fuck you and your canoe."
Good morning, all. Is this the Asian Pacific shift?

Sorry, President Bush, but your legacy doesn’t look good right now. In the holiday spirit, let me offer you advice for what you can do in 2007.
a. why does he feel it's incumbent upon him to help W improve his legacy?
b. why is improving W's legacy important vs. the other serious issues facing the country?
c. why is he talking to someone who we know isn't listening? He might as well be giving Saddam Hussein advice about his legacy.

Oh yeah, nice job on Saddam's execution. Real classy. Bush can't even get an execution right. (All that practice in Texas for nothing.) Real expression of Democracy. Love those cell videos.

Or you could go over to my blog where I make the argument that Betty Ford will have a more lasting impact on the country than her husband did.
Funny story: Mrs DWD's aunt worked with Betty Ford before she was "Betty Ford." Mrs DWD said, "She said that she was a lady on the make - trying her best to meet a rich man to marry. It was like she thought she was really something special." I replied, "Well, I guess she was."
We giggled.
Was Ford OK with invading Iraq or not?
No. He felt the invasion did nothing for our national security and, therefore, opposed it. Do not watch Faux. They lie.
Ford spun mightily NOT to blanketly diss the invasion by saying what he did not like about the way it was done, but I gathered he thought the enterprise in the main was ill-founded.
We have finally snow on the ground. Pretty.

So, I'm considering the Bose Cine-Mate System, which simulates 5.1 surround sound by some auditory sleight of hand with 2 speaker enclosures and a sub-woofer. I don't need the wattage of a younger person, and the simplicity appeals to my diabetes-addled mind. What think ye?
You mean Fox omitted these quotes?
-"Well, I can understand the theory of wanting to free people," Ford said, referring to Bush's assertion that the United States has a "duty to free people." But the former president said he was skeptical "whether you can detach that from the obligation number one, of what's in our national interest." He added: "And I just don't think we should go hellfire damnation around the globe freeing people, unless it is directly related to our own national security."
- "I don't think, if I had been president, on the basis of the facts as I saw them publicly," he said, "I don't think I would have ordered the Iraq war. I would have maximized our effort through sanctions, through restrictions, whatever, to find another answer."

2 US sailors die falling off a submarine as it pulled out of an English naval yard
did they hit their head?
i had a boss who was in the navy. he said it wasn't a requirement for sailors know how to swim.
I was just going to post the same thing Newton Minnow posted, including how the quote starts:
"Rumsfeld and Cheney and the president made a big mistake in justifying going into the war in Iraq. They put the emphasis on weapons of mass destruction," Ford said. "And now, I've never publicly said I thought they made a mistake, but I felt very strongly it was an error in how they should justify what they were going to do."
In a conversation that veered between the current realities of a war in the Middle East and the old complexities of the war in Vietnam whose bitter end he presided over as president, Ford took issue with the notion of the United States entering a conflict in service of the idea of spreading democracy.
"Well, I can understand the theory of wanting to free people," Ford said, referring to Bush's assertion that the United States has a "duty to free people." But the former president said he was skeptical "whether you can detach that from the obligation number one, of what's in our national interest." He added: "And I just don't think we should go hellfire damnation around the globe freeing people, unless it is directly related to our own national security."
The Ford interview -- and a subsequent lengthy conversation in 2005 -- took place for a future book project, though he said his comments could be published at any time after his death. In the sessions, Ford fondly recalled his close working relationship with key Bush advisers Cheney and Rumsfeld while expressing concern about the policies they pursued in more recent years.
"He was an excellent chief of staff. First class," Ford said. "But I think Cheney has become much more pugnacious" as vice president. He said he agreed with former secretary of state Colin L. Powell's assertion that Cheney developed a "fever" about the threat of terrorism and Iraq. "I think that's probably true."
Describing his own preferred policy toward Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Ford said he would not have gone to war, based on the publicly available information at the time, and would have worked harder to find an alternative. "I don't think, if I had been president, on the basis of the facts as I saw them publicly," he said, "I don't think I would have ordered the Iraq war. I would have maximized our effort through sanctions, through restrictions, whatever, to find another answer."

Bose equipment is excellent but severely overpriced. And the reality is that two speakers and the subwoofer are prolly all you need anyway.
We use an Altec-Lansing "high-end" computer speaker system for our surround sound and I could nto be happier. (When I say high end we are talking about > $150)
did they hit their head?
Getting swept off of a submarine? It is certainly possible. The four were strapped together.
While Ford was often giggled about around not being too intelligent, as you listen to the Woodward interview it is clear how carefully he chose his words and assessed their impact before he spoke.
Pretty impresive, for an "average guy."
Ford wasn't as good as Reagan, anyway. Or Bush. Either one. Liberals are stupid idiots who want to surrender to Islam as dhimmis.

thomas ricks needs to stop saying winter is the slow season for insurgents.
It's 9:00 PM CST. Do you know where your President is?
"At President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Tex., a White House spokesman, Scott Stanzel, said Mr. Bush had gone to bed before the execution took place and was not awakened. Mr. Bush had received a briefing from his national security adviser Friday afternoon, when he learned the execution would be carried out within hours, Mr. Stanzel said. Asked why Mr. Bush had gone to sleep before hearing the news, he said Mr. Bush “knew that it was going to happen.”

Yet Ford whipped Reagan's ass. In every way important to a man.
Kristof says, among other things, that Cheney should resign (or be pushed out by Bush.) This, says he, would help Bush reinvigorate his image.
Fat Chance Department. The surest sign that Bush is going to be deposed is if Cheney goes. Cheney is Bush's employment insurance.
I gave myself a hernia trying to suck my own dick.
So, I'm considering the Bose Cine-Mate System, which simulates 5.1 surround sound by some auditory sleight of hand with 2 speaker enclosures and a sub-woofer.
I play my XM satellite radio and ancient iPod through a Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 system and I like it a lot... particularly at the low volumes I tend to listen to (when you crank it up, it can definitely get your attention). They also have an actual 5.1-certified system with a bazillion speakers but don't think that's what you're looking for.
The Pro Media 2.1 should be under $150, the 5.1 more like $350.
I only wish the volume had a remote control... that's my only complaint.
I have a "Wave" CD-MP3 player I love, and the Cine-Mate is priced around $499.00, a seriously down-market foray for Bose. I hafta think, and that's the problem. Thinking is no longer easy.
One of the silly things I love about the Wave is: if the power fails for less than 48 hrs, the clock remembers and doesn't have to be reset. I hate when all the appliances, even the coffeeemaker are blinking 88:88 at me.
That's adorable, Jeffraham.

Morning, everyone.
This AP story about the execution ends on an ominous note:
There were cheers at the cafeteria of a U.S. outpost in Baghdad as soldiers having breakfast learned Saddam had been hanged.
But members of the Army's 2nd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery Regiment, on patrol in an overwhelmingly Shiite neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, said the execution wouldn't get them home any faster - and therefore didn't make much difference.
"Nothing really changes," said Capt. Dave Eastburn, 30. "The militias run everything now, not Saddam."
Staff Sgt. David Earp, who also fought in 1991's Operation Desert Storm, said the execution worried him.
"In my opinion, something big is going to happen," said Earp, of Colorado. "There will be a response. Probably not today because they know we are looking for one, but soon."
Kristof says, among other things, that Cheney should resign (or be pushed out by Bush.) This, says he, would help Bush reinvigorate his image.
And what would Bush be without Cheney? I think of Bush as a puppet and Cheney is one of the people doing the strings.

Well... Bose knows their market.
Some idiot on Good Morning America telling all how to avid a hangover. Don't workout before getting wasted, she says. And eat breakfast. I never knew.
2 a.m. drunken 2.99 breakfast at the diner. I live through my past. But what a way to go!
JP, that is SOOOO cute -- I love that they're getting along, it's a testament to your level head.
Haloscan has decided to clean out all information. I have to keep putting it back in.
That namestealer defaming me with comments about onanism and homosexuality should stop or I will get their IP number and expose them. They are also posting on my site and making liberals look bad, which is not hard.

Good morning.
Somebody gifted me with TimesSelect if you really want to read that Kristoff piece.
Ouch, Good One, SteveLG -- it didn't really hurt!
plantsman: JP, that is SOOOO cute -- I love that they're getting along, it's a testament to your level head.
Not really -- I did it all wrong. Instead of separating them and doing all the tricks, I just tossed L.E. into the mix. But after two weeks, it's all workin' out just fine, anyway.

Shoelimpy, do us all a favor and get over your sexual superiority complex and then commit seppuku out of shame, kay?
So where is the enterprising reporter who will grab a handheld, stick it in the face of some Park ranger, and get him to say on camera that he is prohibited from telling us what every geologist in the world knows?
"Grand Canyon National Park is not permitted to give an official estimate of the geologic age of its principal feature, due to pressure from Bush administration appointees... In a letter released today, PEER urged the new Director of the National Park Service (NPS), Mary Bomar, to end the stalling tactics, remove the book from sale at the park and allow park interpretive rangers to honestly answer questions from the public about the geologic age of the Grand Canyon."

Nitwit's upstairs saying that liberals should be smothered like kittens. Guess it thinks that makes "conservatives" look good.
I considered having a rib removed to accomplish it, but my insurance wouldn't cover.
And what would Bush be without Cheney? I think of Bush as a puppet and Cheney is one of the people doing the strings.
Echidne of the snakes
Good point, but Kristof pretends that Bush is the guy in charge. Given that faulty premise, anything follows.
Me and the little woman went to the Grand Canyon this summer, and I think the rangers did mention the age of the place. I think it was 5000 years. On Oct 23,3000 B.C. to be exact. Thats what the geologists say, right?
While I'm on the subject, the Chinese tourists were much less pushy than the Japanese. Plus the Japanese were hiking into the Canyon wearing corporate casual attire and very, very nice loafers. The mule shit blended nice on those.
I'm still gagging over the opening of Kristol's imagined obit: GWB, who achieved aclaim for his handling of the 9/11 . . . "
What is this man smoking? Such is what one gets from the non-reality-based community.
Here’s how Nicholas Kristof sees Bush‘s obituary: “George W. Bush, who achieved tremendous acclaim for his handling of the 9/11 terror attacks but left office vilified and disgraced, mired in the Iraq war and stalemated at home, his hard-line partisan tactics souring the electorate and crippling his beloved Republican Party for a generation, died. …” So he came up with ten handy suggestions on how to rescue his legacy.
Numbers 4 and 10 are keepers.
