Molly--
Please relay to Thers this magnificent Auden quote:
"Yeats spent the first part of his life as a minor poet, and the second part writing major poems about what it had been like to be a minor poet." On another occasion Auden said that he had only once encountered pure evil in a person, and that was when he met Yeats.
oh, and this:
"[Yeats] has become for me a symbol of my own devil of inauthenticity, of everything I must try to eliminate from my own poetry, false emotion, inflated rhetoric, empty sonorities."
Hee!
Well, that was weird. Just had a 20-minute snow storm, with those gigantic flakes that make you think it's going to dump a few feet on you. But it looks like only about an inch, and it has stopped.
That Auden quote is devilishly dismissive!
How do Canadians do it?
Doggy style. That way both people can watch Hockey Night in Canada.
A repost, but WTF!? Rick Perry is actually doing the right thing? Texas is in the forefront of a good social policy?
Bizarro-World:
Some conservatives and parents' rights groups worry that requiring girls to get vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer would condone premarital sex and interfere with the way they raise their children.
By using an executive order that bypassed the Legislature, Republican Gov. Rick Perry — himself a conservative — on Friday avoided such opposition, making Texas the first state to mandate that schoolgirls get vaccinated against the virus.
Beginning in September 2008, girls entering the sixth grade will have to receive Gardasil, Merck & Co.'s new vaccine against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV.
Perry also directed state health authorities to make the vaccine available free to girls 9 to 18 who are uninsured or whose insurance does not cover vaccines. In addition, he ordered that Medicaid offer Gardasil to women ages 19 to 21.
TMI, but thanks!

Indeed. I'd never realized just how catty Auden was. Capote-esque, really.
Because sexually active males carry HPV, for best results, they should be vaccinated, too.
Not sure that HPV vaccine works on men.
If I were a rich man, I would fund research into a vaccine for norovirus.
Morning all. Cold in the midwest, by golly. Yeah, Auden really was that insecure.
yeh, rors, Perry has astonished the world by acting like a decent governor. Don't worry, he's done lots to offset any good effects he may accidentally have.
Not sure that HPV vaccine works on men.
I am.

It works on the virus, actually.

I bet the governor has a personal experience with someone who died and that is why he is willing to take a political hit.
As men do not generalyy have cervixes (ces), they do not contract cervical cancer, the virus lives in both sexes
I found this.
What about vaccinating boys?
We do not yet know if the vaccine is effective in boys or men. It is possible that vaccinating males will have health benefits for them by preventing genital warts and rare cancers, such as penile and anal cancer. It is also possible that vaccinating boys/men will have indirect health benefits for girls/women. Studies are now being done to find out if the vaccine works to prevent HPV infection and disease in males. When more information is available, this vaccine may be licensed and recommended for boys/men as well.
"True Romance" really is rather a crap movie, isn't it?

Better safe than..., an ounce of prevention....,etc.

Weekend off? What's that mean?
In the season of the flu-vaccine mess, it was bandied about that vaccine production as currently
performed is inherently minimally profitable, but perhaps that's just influenza vaccine.

plantsman, my reading on flu vaccine is that it has a really low shelf life, and if everyone isn't scared into getting their shot, a lot of it has to be thrown out.
The funny part of all the bird flu scare is that there isn't a vaccine that is actually effective against it. Until an actual outbreak is going on, they don't have a vaccine ready to go.

Well done, Dems:
Two bills aimed at blocking same-sex couples from marrying have been defeated.
The House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee voted down both a proposed amendment to the state constitution, and a separate Defense of Marriage bill that each would define marriage as a union of one man and one woman.
The vote was along party lines - all four committee Democrats voted in favor of tabling the measures; the three Republicans against it.

Unforgivable breach of Man Code
When the Gavin Newsom scandal broke, most of us assumed the public reaction would be a no-brainer. Sleeping with a married woman? How do you think that would play with wives, girlfriends and single women in the Bay Area?
As a Newsom staffer told a Chronicle reporter, there goes the women's vote.
But a funny thing happened after the headlines hit and the buzz began: Many women said they were ready to forgive and forget.
Not men, though. No way. Many said they would never trust Newsom again as long as they lived. Some were livid; many were incredulous.
The difference? Apparently it is the Man Code, a set of rigid but unwritten boundaries over which no man may step. Break the Man Code, and you're toast.
"It's a huge betrayal," sputtered Jason Mundstuk, 67, a business owner from Oakland who got upset just talking about it. "It's big. It's mythical."
C'mon, you say, what is this, a TV beer commercial? Evidently not. These guys were dead serious. Make no mistake -- having an affair with the wife of a trusted male colleague is an irrevocable Man Code violation.
"Hello?" wrote Mike Mulholland, 43, who grew up in the Bay Area before moving to San Diego County. "Newsom slept with his friend's wife. What if he stole from a friend? Or tried to frame a friend? Would that also be nobody's business?"
You have mentioned orange sky-balls a few times, Moe.
It's symptomatic of our MSM that they report Bushboy's request for another $250 billion for war in the Middle East for 2007 and 2008 as just another mere fact.
Nevermind that if this is approved it will mean we have spent nearly $700 billion on Bushboy's madness.
But then the MSM cannot allude to Bushboy's disconnect from reality. It is the great unmentionable.
Is there an estimate of how much CO2 is cleared each year and how much we have to lower emissions before there is a decreasing greenhouse effect?

IN MICHIGAN, a man named Boomer ran afoul of the law for swearing when his canoe capsized. In a nation of high-school massacres, punishing bad language seems trivial to the point of absurdity.
But social decline always starts with seemingly mundane matters.
Tolerate graffiti and littering, and you'll soon get vandalism. Ignore property offenses, and crimes against people will follow. The weapon in a murderer's hand was loaded by a thousand modest surrenders to barbarism.
Last summer, Timothy J. Boomer was out paddling his canoe on a river north of Detroit. When the vessel hit a rock and overturned, the sportsman came up sputtering and uttering the "f-word" (according to prosecutors, at least 25 times). Families out boating with their children did not relish the experience.
Authorities in Standish, Mich., lowered the boom on Boomer, charging him under a 102-year-old law that makes it a crime to swear in front of women and children. (In part, the statute harkens back to those halcyon days when we believed in the concept of a nobler sex.)

Brazilians' Arrest Focuses Scrutiny on Evangelical Groups
SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Before a service at Reborn in Christ Church this week, a man hawked gospel CDs outside the front door. In the cavernous nave, volunteers placed envelopes soliciting cash donations on each of about 1,000 chairs, while cameramen working for the church's television network focused on the altar.
Everything was ready, except the church's founders and spiritual leaders
Estevam Hernandes-Filho and his wife, Sonia -- who oversee more than 1,000 churches in Brazil and several in Florida -- were under house arrest in Miami, accused of carrying more than $56,000 in undeclared cash. Some of the money had been stuffed between the pages of their Bible, according to U.S. customs agents who detained the couple last month at the Miami airport.
The arrests and the accusations back home of systematic embezzlement have resonated loudly in Brazil, where tens of millions of people have joined evangelical Christian churches in recent years to create powerful new cultural and political movements. Some of those movements are now under increasing scrutiny from investigators, who say they are receiving testimony alleging similar scandals among other faith-based empires.

If the MSM went after Bushboy and Cheneychins just for their crime of outing Valerie Plame like they hounded Clinton for his sexual indiscretion(s), there would be a national demand for their removal.

In recent months, some Citigroup executives advised Mr. Thomson to reduce his contact with Ms. Bartiromo, a person familiar with the matter says. But he justified the outings as good for business because clients enjoyed access to the CNBC anchor, according to another person with knowledge of the matter. Mr. Thomson noted to associates that his unit was showing better growth than any other Citigroup businesses, this person says.
I bet it was indeed.
Yet there must be some reason why Fitzmas never came.

Most likely they see it as a dead leter. If it happens at all, it's going to take time to get going, and there's plenty on the plate right now. and there is some slight possibility (theory, not in this actual world) that the SCOTUS would shoot it down.

AEI puts bounty on IPCC
"A think tank partly funded by Exxon Mobil (AEI) sent letters to scientists offering them up to $10,000 to critique findings in a major global warming study released Friday which found that global warming was real and likely caused by burning fossil fuels."
there's something hinkey about a guy who owns a dozen cars for preaching an hour a week about a working carpenter who walked everywhere he went.

$10,000.00 seems a paltry sum for debunking Climate Change, y' know?

Well, time to experience that bracing fresh air and run some errands.
Have a good day! Stay warm.

Driving through the Polish country side "Fresh Eel" stands are not uncommon. A person stands on the side of the road holding the eels up.

The "liberal media": bush's health care phase out plan is the best thing ever
The "liberal media" loves it. It does nothing for any one that does not make a lot of money and takes money away from people when they retire. You income is reduced before you pay ss taxes. Your ss check is based on how much you paid in. Under that proposal you will pay less in ss tax. The amount of medicare tax you pay will also be reduced. Putting Medicare even deeper in trouble.
So along with doing nothing to help the people that need help with health care costs it also destroys social security and medicare. This is just like bush's ss phase out plan. It does nothing to make things better and does everything to make things worse.
And it means Dems will be tied up trying to stop this madness instead spending time making things better. That is a winner all around for ultra wealthy repubs. No wonder the "liberal media" loves it.
When shrub manages to fix social security we then will have no Disability for the wounded either. If ya can't work, ya die either from lack of medical care or from starvation.

Each.
But it's not just the initial $10,000, it's also the future employment at right wing think-tanks, where you don't have to do any actual work.
You know your empire’s crumbling when you weaken your currency until it looks as anemic as a Paris runway model, and you’re still setting record trade deficits. (Hint: Because you’re not making anything anymore.)
Say, if Atrios is an economics PhD, maybe he can explain in baby talk to me how the idea of the last 20-30 years to export all the factories (returning the economy to a pre-industrial model, sort of) was such a 'comparative-advantage' stroke of sheer brilliance.

Well yeah, but I got $5000.00 for the rights to the plant i "discovered" when a Dutch company inadvertantly released it years too soon, is all I'm saying.

Precisely.
BTW, isn't "letting them know i will write any bullshit they want me to write" for cash the pundit application form?

'Hardly fireworks or great cause to celebrate, since China keeps standing in the way of U.N. Security Council action against Sudan for failing to deal with the janjaweed - who continually attack the locals and are obviously intent on driving them out of the country altogether. However, as the source of 2/3 of Sudan business dealings, the Chinese do have the influence needed to persuade Bashir to take action to protect Darfur's residents from the genocide taking place there.'
This blog is an ignignot, not an ur blog. Fix it, you stupid.
Non-ethical science should have consequences, in the real world it does. Peer review is an old world concept discarded by the expedience of craven politics.
people can bitch that other countries don't have as many opportunities, etc.
but my once-poor sicilian family still over there has more PhD's and college grads than the part of our family that came here...it is nutshell of how america works and how europe works: they value intelligence, our corpocracy realizes that consumers need to be ignorant
Dad is up.
It's confusing to hear the contradictory,"It's twice as fast as DSL" "It's up to 5 times as fast as DSL"
claims within minutes of each other.

Unfortunately they get the odd legit academic with impressive creds, like Lindzer from MIT.
hey I'm highly incensed ... it's time for mushrooms to take a stand ... afterall .. they arent the bad ones here ... I've found most to be fungis
but my once-poor sicilian family still over there has more PhD's and college grads than the part of our family that came here...it is nutshell of how america works and how europe works: they value intelligence, our corpocracy realizes that consumers need to be ignorant
i would speculate that the ignorance of consumers is a beneficial (to the corps) side effect of the corporate interest in having the workforce that is the minimum education for the job so as to avoid nasty salary demands.

Biz DSL is faster. 1.5 meg, maybe more, but you gotta pay extra. I pay an extra $10 a month for the 28 meg.
