How, exactly, is our leaving supposed to throw Iraq *into* chaos?
Everytime I hear the wind gust thru my almost soundproof windows, I cringe now.

Well, yeah, but I'm sure if we give it 4-6 more months of American occupation, it'll be just fine.
Yeah, I only blogged that hours ago...
I don't see how it could get worse.
But we should give the escalation another 4 to 6 months to see if it will work?
What, we need to wipe out the entire Iraqi population?

Aren't freeance and peance wonderful things?
So if we leave Iraq they will start bombing our mosques here?
How can we tie any explosion to any particular statement? I bet someone in that town that day said we should just give our oil to Americans if they leave us alone - maybe that is what sparked the bombing.

Gore Vidal says that this country can't survive another two years with these people in charge. (He was more polite than I am.) I believe this is true. He said that Pelosi was stupid to say impeachment was off the table. If he were chairman of the Armed Services Committee he would hold many hearings starting with what happened before and after 9/11 and including the money that has been spent in Iraq. We have to get rid of them or there is nothing left of the life we knew.

Propaganda circulating in Afghanistan and Pakistan about American "atrocities" and jihadist "heroics" has also energized the Taliban, encouraging a previously somewhat isolated movement to see itself as part of a wider struggle. Our study found a striking correlation in how terrorist campaigns intensified in Iraq and Afghanistan. The rate of terrorist attacks in Afghanistan gathered pace in the summer of 2005, a half year after a similar increase in Iraq, and in 2006 the rate of attacks in both countries rose in tandem to new, unprecedented levels.

Geniuses. Just PURE Fucking Genius. The GOP has managed to unite the Arab terror contingent, something which otherwise would never have occured in a million years. This is FANTASTIC news for the oil and weapons cartels. But, that's the genius of Cheney, Bush and the GOP. They're ALWAYS thinking about what's best for America and the world.

"(CBS) They say they are not disloyal. They say they are not shirking their duty and that they do not oppose war. But more than 1,000 active-duty and reserve members of the U.S. military are against the war in Iraq and have said so in an unusually public way — by petitioning Congress last month.
Several of them appear to explain their actions to correspondent Lara Logan this Sunday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
"I'm not anti-war. I'm not a pacifist. I'm not opposed to protecting our country and defending our principles," says Navy Petty Officer Jonathan Hutto, an Iraq war veteran who, along with another veteran, initiated the petition.
A 1995 law called the Military Whistleblower act enables military personnel to express their own opinions about Iraq in protected communication directly to Congress.
Hutto and others spoke with 60 Minutes while off duty, off base and out of uniform as conscientious citizens. "But at the same time, as citizens, it's our obligation to have a questioning attitude … about policy," Hutto tells Logan."

address by President Bush to the nation:
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. This week, I traveled to a hospital in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, where I visited with doctors and health care
experts. We discussed an urgent priority for our Nation, how we can make
health care coverage more affordable and accessible for all Americans.
We need to maintain the gains we made by keeping competition in Medicare -- and by opposing any effort that would put the Federal government in charge of "negotiating" and setting drug prices.
We should also apply the same market-based principles to other parts of
our health system." http://www.prnewswire.com/usnewswire/

If the federal government were involved in negotiating drug prices, it would be the largest entity in the country doing so, and thus would get the lowest prices. This would be in harmony with how it decides upon reimbursements for medical services, and completely at odds with the rubbish Bush just mouthed about it, which makes not an iota of logical sense.

Monica,
I've been a doc for like a decade. Seriously.
Has anyone mentioned:
"Good grief, Charlie Brown!"
(I'm dating myself, I know).
It's hard to come up with idioms that don't rely on expletives or pay worship to a sky fairy -- Good Heavens! is fine, Good Grief!, not so bad; Heavens to Britney!, entirely trendy.
My husband and brother-in-law are replacing my kitchen floor.
I should be drinking Dos Equis, should I?
How about someone link the best Arcade Fire video they can find?
if i find a good one
Heavens to Murgatroid, I hate Bush!
Snagglepuss wishes he would exit, stage left.
Richard
Stage right, even!
We need a national healthcare system that includes everyone. It would help business and workers alike.

Congratulations, Molly. Can I come live with you. My B-I-L is talking about a propane torch to take up the vinyl flooring.

Lionel Hampton's wasn't.
This looks promising:
The movie leans heavily on Village Voice journalist Wayne Barrett's evisceration of a biography, titled "Rudy!" Barrett dug deep in Giuliani's biographical back yard and unearthed gems, not least the information that Mr. Clean's father was a stickup man and loan shark who swung a mean baseball bat. The film also shines a light on Giuliani's record as associate attorney general in Ronald Reagan's Justice Department, where he led efforts to deport Haitian boat people.
"Repression," Giuliani announces after returning from a meeting with President Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, "simply does not exist now" in Haiti.

I am still bothered by Randi Rhodes show about Walter Reed. She brought up a story about a little girl whose mother was killed in Iraq and was not eligible for benefits. Which reminded me of one of Dickhead Cheney's execuses used in one of his deferments and that he was married with children. These fucks are cruel beyond belief.
It varies. I think there've been as many as 12 at some performances.
Eh.
I dunno, putting that many people on stage, for me, really just washes out the sound of a band.
I never really did care for those " allstar" concert performances either.
Not asbestos according to my husband (recalling a conversation with the owner).
Monica_A: Not Dumb Enough
Asbestos is a real danger, now that we are demo'ing a lot of post-WWII buildings. Builders went ape-shit whith that stuff as a cheap fire-retardantyears ago. Making that shit into aerosol form on a demo is not very cool for urban re-developers.
I like you, but I don't "like you" like you. Monica_A

Vinyl tiles. My husband wanted to do wood, but we're a pretty spastic bunch over here.

Part of their appeal, for me at least, is the density of their sound. They have these bombastic arrangements that tend to build to big crescendos...

Federal Judge Orders Labor Department to Answer for Eight-Year Delay in Requiring Employers to Pay for Safety Equipment
DOL Failure has resulted in 400,000 Injuries and 50 Deaths
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A United States Court of Appeals ordered the Department of Labor (DOL) to respond in 30 days to a suit requesting the court to order OSHA to implement a long-delayed standard that would require employers to pay the costs of protective clothing, lifelines, face shields, gloves and other equipment used by an estimated 20 million workers to protect them from job hazards.
The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) and the AFL-CIO sued the DOL January 3 over an eight-year delay in implementing an Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rule requiring employers to pay for personal protective equipment (PPE)."

I wouldn't do that, but mopping it with bleach to break down any wax buildup might be a good idea. Gives the new tiles a rougher surface to stick to.

Veterans, aside from military retirees/pensions, have survivor benefits that are not at all well publicized. While there is greater generosity toward vets with service during war-time, there is plenty to review that could apply to any veteran/family:

Remember Michelle Bachmann, that crazy Katharine Harris-looking congresswoman who was hugging, groping and kissing Bush after the SOTU? Look at this bizarre stuff she wrote about him on her blog last summer:
I could not believe I was discussing what flavor of custard to order with the President of the United States!
...
I asked the President if he had a napkin and he said no. So, I had to quickly grab napkins. I cannot imagine dripping custard in the Presidential limousine.
President Bush and I did share our custards with Governor Pawlenty, Senator Coleman and Karl Rove. Every bit of custard was gone well before we arrived at the Jundt home!
Paging Dr. Freud...
At least when Clinton shared his custard with a woman, he did so in private, not in a giant orgy of custard-spewing with governors, senators, and flesh-haired aides in the back seat of a limo.
How can Black gloatingly describe such tragedies while advocating policies which would vastly worsen the situation?
It's called pending checkmate, asshole. This administration had nothing but "Yessir, three bags full" for five years. Like few other admins in US history. And for our trouble, we've gained a strategic position of have to beg cooperation from others.

I'm for disbanding most of the army now. We don't need them to defend the U.S. Who's gonna invade us anyway. (We can keep the air force and the navy).
Rebuilding the army will only embolden our leaders to start another war.
Every time an american joins the army, there's a good chance that american civilians will get the hatred, contempt, and maybe terrorist blowback resulting from our government's actions.

Tile can be laid ontop of existing vinyl flooring (if it's all down tightly to the concrete) by using something called Admix in your thinset.

That really is pretty stunning. Quinnipiac's new poll has Giuliani at 40% in the race for the GOP nomination. McCain clocks in at a relatively feeble 18%. And Romney, with 7%, is beat out by Gingrich at 10%.
I'm really not convinced Giuliani can win the GOP nod as a pro-choice, pro-gay rights candidate. But numbers trump opinions.

Another Pat Tillman?
"An Army representative initially told LaVena's father, Dr. John Johnson, that his daughter died of "died of self-inflicted, noncombat injuries" and initially added it was not a suicide -- in other words, an accidental death caused by LaVena herself. The subsequent Army investigation reversed this finding and declared LaVena's death a suicide, a finding refuted by the soldier's family. In an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Dr. Johnson pointed to indications that his daughter had endured a physical struggle before she died -- two loose front teeth, a "busted lip" that had to be reconstructed by the funeral home -- suggesting that "someone might have punched her in the mouth."
A promise by the office of Representative William Lacy Clay to look into the matter produced nothing. The military said that the matter was closed.
Little more on LaVena's death was said until St. Louis CBS affiliate KMOV aired a story on Thursday which disclosed troubling details not previously made public - details which belie the Army's assertion that the young Florissant native died by her own hand. The video of the report is available on the KMOV website."

After the SOTU, Bachmann bragged to the Star-Tribune, “He kissed me in Minnesota, too.”
"And then he kissed me in my Virginia."

"Reporter Matt Sczesny spoke with LaVena's father and examined documents and photos sent by Army investigators. So far from supporting the claim that LaVena died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the documents provided elements of another scenario altogether:
Indications of physical abuse that went unremarked by the autopsy
The absence of psychological indicators of suicidal thoughts; indeed, testimony that LaVena was happy and healthy prior to her death
Indications, via residue tests, that LaVena may not even have handled the weapon that killed her
A blood trail outside the tent where Lavena's body was found
Indications that someone attenpted to set LaVena's body on fire
The Army has resisted calls by Dr. Johnson and by KMOV to reopen its investigation." http://www.alternet.org/blogs/pe...ogs/peek/48365/

Best kitchen floor I ever had was a sprung wood one. Real wood, not laminate, but popped together the way the laminates are, over a thing layer of plastic membrane - it was like working on a fine dance floor. And, when you dropped things? They bounced! Big jars of mayonnaise! Bottles of pickles! Greatest thing I ever had in the kitchen. A snap to keep clean, the wood was pre-laquered within an inch of its life. You could spill a bowl of hot spaghetti sauce on it and it all came right up with a couple of paper towels. Loved it!

Americans Underestimate Iraqi Death Toll
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hu...in-iraq-ap-
poll
WASHINGTON — Americans are keenly aware of how many U.S. forces have lost their lives in Iraq, according to a new AP-Ipsos poll. But they woefully underestimate the number of Iraqi civilians who have been killed.
When the poll was conducted earlier this month, a little more than 3,100 U.S. troops had been killed. The midpoint estimate among those polled was right on target, at about 3,000.
Far from a vague statistic, the death toll is painfully real for many Americans. Seventeen percent in the poll know someone who has been killed or wounded in Iraq. And among adults under 35, those closest to the ages of those deployed, 27 percent know someone who has been killed or wounded.
For Daniel Herman, a lawyer in New Castle, Pa., a co-worker's nephew is the human face of the dead.
The number of Iraqis killed, however, is much harder to pin down, and that uncertainty is perhaps reflected in Americans' tendency to lowball the Iraqi death toll by tens of thousands.
Iraqi civilian deaths are estimated at more than 54,000 and could be much higher; some unofficial estimates range into the hundreds of thousands. The U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq reports more than 34,000 deaths in 2006 alone.
Among those polled for the AP survey, however, the median estimate of Iraqi deaths was 9,890. The median is the point at which half the estimates were higher and half lower.
I am looking forward to my son playing soccer for the first time in a few years. I pity the other children, and hope they are insured though.
Bet you had loads of fun sinf.

Those National Guardsmen being sent back again and again, with the jobs they held back home getting more and more scarce, I suspect we're seeing a real diminution in the numbers who make it.

But to me he will always be the little guy I sat up with at night when his mamma had to go back to work and I was laid off. I was lucky enough to be with him most of his first two years of his life. That is a great thing.
But I still remember him making his baseball debut . . . .

That it is. I lived in Mason, which was great and only about 15 minutes from campus. I loved living there and working at MSU, but we (I was married then) just couldn't handle the winters. We called it quits after the third one.

Steve,
I was looking for you earlier. You brought up Eva Cassidy. I am not sure how much of your story you know but it is just so fucking tragic.
She was a local sensation in the DC area but could never get any more than that. Made two or three CDs (self produced) and sold them out of the trunk of her car. Finally got breast cancer and died. Some DJ in England picked up her version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and used it for a telethon of some sort. Went straight to the top of the pop charts.
Why can't we find these people - writers, musicians, actors, painters, sculpters - while they are still alive?
So sad.
In fact, before Sedona went New-Agey, people went there for Slide Rock and the Minutemen were old-style right-wing wackos up there rather than at the border.
Okay, I really need to go. Talk to y'all later ...
smalfish, good bean/fart jokes. So I dunno how tolerant you are about hearing for days about it.
Sinfonian,
When I was chairman of the school's school improvement committee, I used to have to go to Lansing periodically to meet with the mucketymucks at the State Department of Education. I described Lansing as having a dome of ignorance around it, nothing gets in and nothing gets out.
As I understood it, Cassady's cancer was in her hips, and went undiagnosed until she developed a slight limp. "Songbird" went to #1 on the UK charts, and then became popular here.
So sad.

I knew the story, and of course you're right. But it's also a pretty damning indictment of a record bizness that wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the ass.
"Car bombs kill dozens; blasts rattle Baghdad
Attackers targeted a Sunni mosque near Baghdad on Saturday, setting off a car bomb that killed 39 people and wounded more than 60. Meanwhile, just hours after Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki cited progress in the effort to restore order in Baghdad, car bombs and mortar rounds killed nine people and injured 42 there. Saturday night, a series of blasts were heard in the city" --cnn.com
I like the way they use "meanwhile."
It's going to get worse and worser no matter what we do.

A few shits and shit, too. Lots of "nigger", so not PC, which is Mel Brooks, 'course.
Sinfonian,
Other weird fact: Mason (fictional town) is actually the setting for the college in CHALLENGE. I did not even know of such a town. I thought I had invented it. In my mind it was an amalgam of Holland, GR, and Muskegon.
Looks peaceful from up here.......

Used to live up there, and didn't find that to be the case no matter how many times I heard the Ghandarvas, the Tea Party, the Tragically Hip, or Bran Van 3000. Or Godspeed! You Black Emperor, for that matter.
However, I'm sure there are indeed fine bands up there who don't make it down. And being as my taste for rock music is pretty well sated, my opinion doesn't count for shit anyway.
Anyway, if listening to Arcade Fire is the price I have to pay for you guys invading and reinstating the rule of law, I'll pay it gladly.

True enough, I'm just choosing them as recent Canadian musical exports for the sake of convenience.

Not right yet. I'm working on repairing a house I want to sell, and am going to live in it during the process...however long that takes. So 90 percent of my stuff is just going into storage for the duration.
If it's a big project, I can tell you you're going to be hating life. And contractors hate when the homeowners live in the house while it's being remodeled.
Sounds like an adventure. Good luck!

Thanks! I'm picking up one of those automatic bread makers tomorrow, which'll make it a bit more bearable not to have a proper kitchen for a week or two. And God knows I'll be glad to get out of the house I'm in...way too small.

I've been hating it about as much as I can stand for the past couple months anyway. It is a big project, but a lot of it's already done. We know the contractor well and get along with him.
And we'll be out of the house most days anyway. It's a big place, and we're cramming ourselves into one bedroom, so it should be OK.
The alternative would to pay rent and mortgage simulataneously, which has its own drawbacks.

You ever do that? One of the more pleasant fishing experiences I have had. Just drive the boat out about three miles and let it drift with crawler harnesses and reel in those big Lake Erie Walleyes ... that is some good stuff.

what they do up here is wait for a day when rain is predicted. They start massive piles of cedar on fire with gasoline. It will burn through a heavy rain. By nighttime, if they do it right its all done. What worries me are the guys who spend all day with a cooler or two of Lone Star and say "hey Bubba watch this" while they are tending the piles.

I want into a United Rental once, and they had some bullshit radio station going on in the background. It was playing Sonny and Cher. I asked the guy if this was normal?
Yep was his answer.

Its just been one continuous flirt since the end of September.
Just assume we are.
oh and those who go on about how 'music was so cool between this year and this year' and say modern music is rubbish.
every decade has its brilliant and crap music, music moves on, it does not stand still.
I can even like about 60% of C&W if I'm on a road trip. It just lends itself to road trips. Allison Crouse has a voice that just works with the highway.
great musical!

Hey Tena
Missed this yesterday, but Digby nails it:
...I try to be respectful and I do not believe that religion is a con. I enjoy discussing this issue with religious people of good will and I count many among them as my friends. But I also think you have to cut people a little slack when they fail to make all the proper distinctions among believers in light of the massive number of revelations these past few years about the Catholic Church and the Protestant fundamentalist leaders who fail spectacularly to practice what they preach. These are people who are at the forefront of the religious right movement and are in direct and often aggressive opposition to progressivism and liberalism. Most importantly, they are constantly represented in the media and politics as being the true religious face of America.
So, I'm not inclined to go completely ballistic on the hard core anti-religios. When you look at the big picture you see that the religious are as politically varied as the population as a whole and that Democrats are as religious as are the Republicans. But the culture war is being waged by churches, if not all churches, and day after day these sexual scolds and allegedly traditionalist leaders are being exposed as frauds after years of self-righteous finger-pointing at anyone who doesn't toe their line. It results in real damage to real people. It should not be surprising that some respond

The church had irrefutable evidence that the Templars were engaging in weapons of mass destruction-related-programs. Only a fool or a Frenchman could believe otherwise.
That, and the Templars were ALWAYS leaving the toilet seat up and using all the hot water.

She's incredible. We went up to Seattle today to this enormous and very cool museum complex where there is the Science Center with a whole bunch of hands on exhibits for kids and a whole bunch of playground stuff. She had more fun - and it's so much fun to be with her. She's turning into a little girl!
Yesterday we took her to the Disney Store (I know, but what are you going to do? ) and then to Gymboree and I bought her all kinds of new clothes - she loves to wear dresses. She's such a girly girl.
Only a fool or a Frenchman could believe otherwise.

Straight Edge (also known as sXe, and xXx) refers to a lifestyle, a personal commitment, a philosophy, and a subculture that is closely associated with hardcore punk music. Straight edgers abstain from recreational drugs, including tobacco and alcohol. Some followers of the straight-edge philosophy also abstain from promiscuous sex, the regular use of painkillers, and the intake of caffeine. Some also practice vegetarianism or veganism.

Straight edgers abstain from recreational drugs, including tobacco and alcohol. Some followers of the straight-edge philosophy also abstain from promiscuous sex, the regular use of painkillers, and the intake of caffeine. Some also practice vegetarianism or veganism.

Hecate- she's 3, but she's still so small that she's like a little fairy child. But my 3 year old granddaughter is fucking brilliant! She just slays me - she was talking gondolas yesterday. Gondolas!

I guess that explains the blood-soaked sea-sponge behind the gymnasium
My double bill is "Network" by Lumet & Chayefsky and "A Face In The Crowd" by Kazan & Shulberg.
Wolcott wrote a wonderful essay on the latter in this month's VF.
A taste:
While contemporary reviewers scoffed at the prospect of a hayseed fireball like Lonesome Rhodes becoming a national sensation, Kazan-Schulberg's depiction of the packaging and marketing of fake authenticity now looks prophetic, if a trifle overcooked. In 1990, Kazan told biographer Schickel that the film anticipated the rise of Ronald Reagan, and Schickel adds, "It also anticipates George W. Bush's manipulation of the crowd." These days we pride ourselves on being more sophisticated in perceiving image manufacturing and media manipulation, but I would argue that it's the average voters who have savvied up over the last half-century and the Beltway pundits who have become the rubes, regressively dumber with each political cycle. They're suckers for a "man of the people" more than the people themselves are! It's the Beltway cognoscenti who fetishized Bush's likability, harping on how much more fun he'd be to have a drink with than the cardboard Gore (never mind that Gore won the popular vote), lionize John McCain as a no-guff maverick (never mind his rampant reversals and shameless backflips to court favor with the Republican far right), and keep fobbing off Newt Gingrich—that Uriah Heepish fraud—as a bubbling fountain of futuristic intellect instead of the flagrantly opportunistic manure spreader he has shown himself to be over the last two decades. It was the majority of the American people who kept "Monicagate" in sensible perspective while archdeacons of capital wisdom such as David Broder worked themselves up to a fine moral lather, and it was the majority of the American people who faced reality and turned against the war in Iraq while the archdeacons frittered and fence-straddled. The militant gullibility and brassy confidence of today's elite opinion-makers produce more harm and folly than anything conjured in A Face in the Crowd. Because they possess influence. They're professional dupes.

One such is the guy who played Michael on "Queer as Folk."

She's incredible. We went up to Seattle today to this enormous and very cool museum complex where there is the Science Center with a whole bunch of hands on exhibits for kids and a whole bunch of playground stuff. She had more fun - and it's so much fun to be with her. She's turning into a little girl!
Oh, that's so cool! I can't wait to do stuff like that w/G/Son, but he's too little right now. It's really amazing what they're doing w/ museums, these days and how kid-friendly they've gotten.
i went today to the Baltimore Visionary Art Museum and there were so many parents there with their kids. It was very cool.
but I cannot imagine coming all the way up here and not seeing darling mena.

Twould be a definite pity.
You guys with the dust storms wanna come pick your soil? I got sprinkled on by an odd looking cloud and it turned out to be mud.
That mud's got some kick ass koolaide in it.
Try it!
At the very least, straight edge kids are choosing healthy lifestyle choices. - Vicki
I think there's something to the idea that the straight-edge declaration gives some breathing room to kids who aren't ready for sex and whatnot to resist peer pressure.
?How do you pronounce -arroyo?-
Like it's spelled.
uh-roy-o.

U.S. military cancels non-nuclear test explosion in desert
The US government said Thursday it is canceling Divine Strake, a non-nuclear explosion that would have caused the first mushroom-shaped cloud in decades over the desert in the western state of Nevada. The 700-ton test explosion at the Nevada Test Site, proposed to gather data about penetrating underground bunkers, prompted a lawsuit and intense opposition in Nevada and neighboring Utah, where critics feared it would scatter decades-old radioactive material from previous Cold War-era tests.

I think so, too.
Tena, while you are there, you can observe the latest coffee trend in Seattle. Picture mixing hooters with espresso and you get bikini coffee stands. They are all over the place in Seattle.

My son never mentioned this - maybe he doesn't know about it.
There is nothing like that down here in Gig Harbor, but there's a great independent coffee joint just across the parking lot here - excellent capuccino.
I have always just said -gully-.
RACIST!

straight edge: no curved expanding belly which goes down after 9 months.
thats not a bad thing.
There's a lot more to the question of morality than sexual behavior, of course, but sexual behavior is one of the things Beck is thinking about when he makes his claims about moral collapse. And he's simply full of it. The facts (those, yes) just don't bear these claims out
And that's the real problem with culture-war critiques like D'Souza's, Beck's, and, yes, Helmy's: they have nothing to do with what's happening in the real world. If you want to look at real immorality, then you might want to consider things like torture, corruption, crooked elections, and misleading countries into war.
But then you wouldn't have time to complain about all the fucking cursing bloggers.

Is'nt "strait edge" just another way of saying Chasity balls?
Oh.My.God! I'm going to need to move in with someone for a few days or remain in a perpetual state of drunkeness. Just go rent the damned floor stripper already!

Honey, just get to the airport and tell them you want to go to Phoenix. Midway thru the flight, wake up and call me. I'll pick you up.
thanks Tena

If you bring me a hammer. Well, I will anyway, but if you bring me a hammer that would be really good.

Nimster,
Where are you?
And apropos of nothing, I watched a woman back into my two week old Bug last night. She hit it and took off. Damaged the driver side fender and wheel.
I know where she lives, so I put a note in her mailbox to give me a call.
"You may not have realized it, but I saw you back into my car at 6:00 PM tonight....please call me with your insurance information."
So far, no call, so I'm going to drive over to her crib in a couple of minutes and see if I can't get her license plate number to give to the claims agent and the police department.
I know some Straight Edge kids.
Their holier-than-thou attitude reminds me of religious fundamentalists. Not nice people.

No - it has nothing to do with creepy pledges to dad or Xianity necessarily.
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Family detention centers for illegal immigrants and asylum seekers in the United States are like prisons, where residents face harsh discipline and lack adequate health care, two advocacy groups said on Thursday.
The Women's Commission for Refugee Women & Children and the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service surveyed facilities in Texas and Pennsylvania that can hold up to 600. Most of those held there are mothers and children.
"(The) Homeland Security (Department) has to look for alternative models," said Michelle Brane, director of the Women's Commission. "Families should not be split or put in something that looks like a prison."
One of the facilities, the Don Hutto Residential Center in Texas, can house 512 people. Before it opened last year, most of the families were either released from detention or separated and detained individually, the report said.
It is operated by Corrections Corporation of America under contract with Williamson County, Texas."

And definitely call the cops on your hit and run. If she won't talk to you, sue her ass =p

I'm glad you saw it.
What a *responsible* adult.

As though inflexibility is restricted to the straight-edge crowd.

Gah. I hate that movie as much as I dislike "Schindler's List" and "Crash."
The US government said Thursday it is canceling Divine Strake, a non-nuclear explosion that would have caused the first mushroom-shaped cloud in decades over the desert in the western state of Nevada.
Those folk have a strange take on devinity.

Not my kid. She just doesn't drink, smoke or have sex.
I'm jiggy with that.
"What holds 400 illegal immigrants from 30 countries, 170 of them children? The T. Don Hutto Family Detention Center, for which the Corrections Corporation of America receives $2.8 million per month.
A jail by any other name is still a jail. A detention camp is still a detention camp. That the prisoners wear scrubs instead of orange jumpsuits or pink underwear doesn't change a thing.
The Government invited the media today. Surprise, for the first time there was pizza on the menu. How humane. They brought in plastic potted plants to warm up the place. The Government says its more like a community college than a jail.
What a farce. Can the "students" leave? Of course not. It's a jail."

I'm not as flexible as I used to be.
Maybe I should take up yoga.
Thank You to whomever it was that alerted re: retrospective and lecture by Ralph Steadman, illustrator most known from his work with Hunter Thompson.
Steadman has always been a remarkable, eccentric and wholly original phenomenon, and the program was most interesting.
It was followed by an interview with Morley Safer, also an interesting program filled with perspective on viet nam and specifically about Safers work as a tv journalist there.
All I can say is what I've felt ever since the age of 7 or 8, watching vietnamese 7 or 8 year olds being killed every night on tv: the whole thing is a bust, war is nothing but an immense, senseless, useless amoral waste, a mess, a mire, a human disgrace. As an adult, understanding how people profit from the whole thing just reinforces that conviction to the core.
In the very most extreme cases, such as the imperative to stop Hitler and the Nazis war finds its only possible justification, but even then the fact that steps are not taken to prevent the rise of such horrors is itself an equal horror.
War is nothing but a sordid enterprise, a scam as Smedley Butler clearly showed. It's an industry, a way of life, a sick, distorted and futile mindset, and it is so deeply ingrained in our American system that at times we do not even notice it. It is the lack of war that that we do notice, a few years here, a few years there when there is peace.
Our nation was founded in a war; to some extent, or perhaps to a very large extent it is hard-wired in our evolutionary roots and had its origins in tribal conflicts for resources. I do not know, I am not an expert. It does seem to me that the best we can do, what we should do, what we must do as Americans and as a species is to somehow use the good that has come of war, our freedom, our knowledge, our technical abilities, our eventual realization sooner or later that our nominal enemies are simply other human beings that bleed red as we all do, to find another way, a way to peace. For if we do not do this, we doom ourselves to a future which is not worth living.

I give up.
No one is saying that peer pressure isn't a problem.
Sheetz
I just thought the idea that somehow one segment of teens is holier-than-thou-er than the rest was extremely silly. It's practically defining for being a teenager that one's peer group is superior to all the others.
JeffCO,
In keeping with its Abrahamic view of the natural order, the sexual politics of the Hardline movement were very conservative. Pre-marital sex was frowned upon, homosexuality seen as anathema, pornography abjured, artificial contraception avoided, and abortion militantly opposed.

Nice trick - take the most extreme, hardcore version of some political movement and use it to represent some kid in Podunk who doesn't want to get shit for not doing drugs and having sex. Tiny problem - not the same thing.
