I was at my best friend's house, and we were sitting in the living room. We saw the whole thing happen - that's how we knew who hit it. She was backing out of her driveway.
I left her a nice note to contact me, but she didn't. Benefit, meet doubt. She fucked up by being irresponsible, not owning up to it in the first place, and then not calling me when I busted her out.
I'm calling the cops for a hit and run accident.

Atrios,
This is your blog and all, but I'd like to request that you please consider linking to the petition to draft Al Gore?
Thank you.
This has been a public service announcement by
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 hesitate to post this, taken from tomorrow's NYTimes, for fear that Hecate's head will explode.
Mine almost did.
GREENCASTLE, Ind. — When a psychology professor at DePauw University here surveyed students, they described one sorority as a group of “daddy’s little princesses” and another as “offbeat hippies.” The sisters of Delta Zeta were seen as “socially awkward.”
Worried that a negative stereotype of the sorority was contributing to a decline in membership that had left its Greek-columned house here half empty, Delta Zeta’s national officers interviewed 35 DePauw members in November, quizzing them about their dedication to recruitment. They judged 23 of the women insufficiently committed and later told them to vacate the sorority house.
The 23 members included every woman who was overweight. They also included the only black, Korean and Vietnamese members. The dozen students allowed to stay were slender and popular with fraternity men — conventionally pretty women the sorority hoped could attract new recruits. Six of the 12 were so infuriated they quit.
Eww. Just.... eeeww.
Diane--nothing's in bloom yet, but we were happy just to be out in the sun.
Oh, hell. I'll go to the True Value to-morrow and get me a new hammer. It's pretty obvious that mine has been stolen by someone more greatly in need than I.

In light of Ellen hosting the Oscars this weekend, Newsday has a lengthy new article about the rise of lesbians in entertainment ("All They Need Is Love"), and so does Time magazine ("Yep, She's Mainstream"). According to Time, "One reason DeGeneres will be onstage Feb. 25 is that lesbians are women, and women increasingly define the pop-culture mainstream." Huh? That's news to me, and probably to a lot of other women, as well ...
Feh.
"The Clintons' Real Trouble with Truth
Hollywood mogul David Geffen angered Hillary Clinton with a comment about the "ease" with which the Clintons tell political lies. Though Geffen's comment may have been harsh, the reality is that the Clintons showed little commitment while in the White House to bring to light important historical truth. Bill Clinton was in a unique position as the first President to take office after the end of the Cold War, but he established no truth commissions, ordered no widespread document declassifications and even turned his back on existing investigations of government wrongdoing by his Republican predecessors in the 1980s.

Just a note before I retreat to the spa, and before we learn all about St. Thomas More.
The first or second time I was in England, I was supposed to be staying at the AAUW residence in London. In Chelsea. The story I had was that it was not only respectable, cheap and desirably located, it was a lovely place to doss.
Turned out it was respectable, cheap and desirably located. However, it had not been 'updated' since about 1595, it remained fully as dank, next to the damned river as it's possible to be without being in it, and had such amenities as one, one hole toilet in the lowest level of the structure for about 300 women....
What it was, was Thomas More's home. Honest.
Lordy, I decamped for a Sheraton within about fifteen minutes. Thence to Camden Town. But historical! Really, really historical!!

BBC2 just started production on Daphne, a new 90-minute drama about a tumultuous period in the life of famous British author Daphne du Maurier, who wrote Rebecca and The Birds. The film is based on Margaret Forster's 1993 authorized biography, and charts the married Du Maurier's love for Ellen Doubleday (the wife of the American publishing tycoon), and later, the actress Gertrude Lawrence.
The movie boasts a great cast, including Geraldine Somerville (Gosford Park, the Harry Potter movies) as Du Maurier and Elizabeth McGovern (Once Upon a Time in America) and Janet McTeer (Songcatcher) as Ellen and Gertrude, respectively.

For a man who prides himself on being such a big swinging dick(head), feisty is actually a bit of an insult -- a term more usually applied to yappy dogs and little old ladies.
Could be the writer was getting in a bit of a dig.
Cheney is feisty like Putin is feisty:
Since 1999, when Vladimir Putin, a career KGB officer, was, in effect, anointed as president by Boris Yeltsin, 13 journalists have been murdered in Russia. Nearly all the deaths took place in strange circumstances, and none of them has been successfully investigated or prosecuted.

Can anyone recommend a good variety of lime? I am thinking of taking out a nasty old apple tree and putting a lime in its spot. I'm also thinking of taking out a peach and replacing it with a grapefruit. Then I'll have an all-citrus backyard: oranges, limes, tangerines, lemons, and grapefruit.
Sweet. COPS is running a BAD GIRLS episode.

Hell, all I know about limes is that they're green.
The New Yorker:
The persistence of the risk premium means that Ahmadinejad, whatever his religious or nationalist inspiration, has an economic incentive to say confrontational things that spook the oil market. But the effect of his pronouncements is limited, because traders know that self-interest is likely to keep Iran from doing anything that would cut off the supply of oil. What really keeps the risk premium high is the American penchant for public responses to Iran’s provocations. So cooling down the martial rhetoric—even if we plan to take military action eventually—would likely bring oil prices down for a time, making Iran weaker. History shows that regimes that inflate their promises to their citizens during periods of high oil prices often have a hard time when prices fall. (The collapse of the Soviet Union, which, in the nineteen-seventies, had used oil wealth to make modest improvements in the standard of living of its people, was likely accelerated by the collapse of oil prices in the mid-eighties.) Lower oil prices won’t, by themselves, topple the mullahs in Iran. But it’s significant that, historically, when oil prices have been low, Iranian reformers have been ascendant and radicals relatively subdued, and vice versa when prices have been high. Talking tough may look like a good way of demonstrating U.S. resolve, but when tough talk makes our opponent richer and stronger we may accomplish more by saying less.

Hecate--I'm looking at the treatment protocols used right now; they look pretty vicious (very similar to breast cancer treatment protocols). On the other hand, survival rates have increased from 2002 to 2006 to 73% after five years, with normal menstrual function returning within 3 years. Future fertility is negatively affected, although in a couple of longitudinals, in vivo worked in about half the patients.

Flory--of course, I don't know how the biopsy was scored, so that would have to be taken into account as well.
Also, the longitudinals--and I only found two--were limited in size. Methodology looks sound, but the n was small enough that I'm not sure it can be extrapolated.

Gomez, the interview on cspan with Morley Safer was most instructive. Gives alot of insight into the nature of the cats they let on the teevee. Safer is a decent guy, one of the few conservatives it is possible in any way to respect, and like us all he is far from perfect, but the interview shows where these people have been coming form since at least the viet nam scam.

Romney Family Tree Has Polygamy Branch
By JENNIFER DOBNER and GLEN JOHNSON
Associated Press Writers
Published February 24, 2007, 5:02 PM CST
SALT LAKE CITY -- While Mitt Romney condemns polygamy and its prior practice by his Mormon church, the Republican presidential candidate's great-grandfather had five wives and at least one of his great-great grandfathers had 12.
Polygamy was not just a historical footnote, but a prominent element in the family tree of the former Massachusetts governor.
Romney's great-grandfather, Miles Park Romney, married his fifth wife in 1897. That was more than six years after Mormon leaders banned polygamy and more than three decades after a federal law barred the practice.
The Paste Eater is at it again.
One of his commenters even slammed "Tina", whoever she is.

You can take a shot, you can ice it down and it turns white, you can drop it in coffee, or put it in a snifter and light it up. If you do, blow it out immediately, like RIGHT away after firing it up or you will have a serious firebomb to contend with.
The correct protocol is to drop 3 coffee beans in. An even number of beans is a very, very srious insult. An odd number greater than three is the highest compliment.
However you have it, it makes your ears warm and will put a smile on your face. More than two, though, is a big mistake.

"Hersh: New Pentagon Unit Developing Contingency Plan To Bomb Iran
In the latest issue of The New Yorker, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh reports that a special Pentagon unit has been charged in recent months with developing plans for U.S. air attacks on Iran. From Reuters:
Despite the Bush administration’s insistence it has no plans to go to war with Iran, a Pentagon panel has been created to plan a bombing attack that could be implemented within 24 hours of getting the go-ahead from President George W. Bush, The New Yorker magazine reported in its latest issue.
The special planning group was established within the office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in recent months, according to an unidentified former U.S. intelligence official cited in the article by investigative reporter Seymour Hersh in the March 4 issue.
According to the article, the Pentagon unit was initially charged with destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities but has changed its mission recently to “to identify targets in Iran that may be involved in supplying or aiding militants in Iraq.”"

Yes.
Emergency! is a television series which ran as a midseason replacement from January 15, 1972 to September 3, 1977 on NBC, replacing the short-lived The Good Life television series, which debuted just one day after the popular sitcom Sanford and Son had aired on the same network, which was produced by Universal Studios. It was produced and created by Jack Webb and Robert Cinader, both of whom were also responsible for the police drama Adam-12. The shows were similar in that they featured dedicated civil servants handling two or three varied and unrelated incidents during a typical shift.
The show returned as a series of six "Movie of the Week" specials between late 1977 and the spring of 1979. Three of the TV movies have the two paramedic characters traveling to San Franciso (twice) and Seattle for EMS conventions. While in both cities they end up assisting the local agencies (San Francisco's Rescue-2 and Seattle's Medic-One) with several rescues. The others were "Steel Inferno" (a high rise blaze), "Survival on Charter# 220" (two airplanes crash over a residential neighborhood - at the time it was reportedly the most expensive tv-movie ever made), and a finale in which the firefighter / paramedics are promoted to captain.
Other regular characters included: Captain Dick Hammer (first season alternately portrayed by Dick Hammer and John Smith), firefighter/engineer Mike Stoker (who, in real life was a Los Angeles County firefighter/engineer, cast because he had a Screen Actor's Guild card and could drive the actual fire engine). Chet Kelly (Tim Donnelly), Marco Lopez (uses his real name), Captain Hank Stanley (Michael Norell) (seasons two through seven), Dr. Michael Morton (Ron Pinkard) (in the pilot episode, his character is "Dr. Tom Gray"), and the LACoFD radio dispatcher (an uncredited Sam Lanier).
This movie is boring, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised since it's from the mind of William Shatner.
I don't think we're supposed to like Investigative Reporter Lady.

Troup, London, and Webb love triangle
While Troup and London were married in real life, the character of McCall was written to be a love interest for Brackett. The love interest between Brackett and McCall was more evident in the pilot movie for Emergency! where they share a kiss together at McCall's apartment. As time went on, the love interest was phased out with more emphasis on the rescues and happenings at the hospital than the personal lives of Brackett and McCall, although they remained very good friends. Further muddying the picture, before marrying Troup in 1959, she had been married to producer Webb from 1947 to 1953. The divorce must have been amicable, as Webb had repeatedly hired Troup for roles on Dragnet and Adam-12 before casting London and Troup for Emergency!.

Well, thanks McIlhenney but I cannot take any credit for the Bible.

In addition, leaving all and every religious or spiritual consideration aside, the Bible contains some of the finest and most beautiful writing anywhere, simply from a literary perspective.
I am still seeking a solid and comprehensive english translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls with all of the "lost" books of the Bible. It seems, incredibly enough, that some people have, er, kept some integral parts of the entire scriptures out of circulation for a really long while.

Heroines of the Week; or, Sisterhood is Powerful
I'm not a fan of sororities, for reasons that this article makes clear: but I'm a big fan of the sisters at Delta Zeta in DePauw.
Worried that a negative stereotype of the sorority was contributing to a decline in membership that had left its Greek-columned house here half empty, Delta Zeta’s national officers interviewed 35 DePauw members in November, quizzing them about their dedication to recruitment. They judged 23 of the women insufficiently committed and later told them to vacate the sorority house.
The 23 members included every woman who was overweight. They also included the only black, Korean and Vietnamese members. The dozen students allowed to stay were slender and popular with fraternity men — conventionally pretty women the sorority hoped could attract new recruits. Six of the 12 were so infuriated they quit. (My emphasis.).....
I love Ms. Holloway, and all the De Pauw women who decided not to put up with Delta Zeta's sexist bullshit. If you read in between the lines of the news story, it's fabulous: they kicked out a computer science major with the research skills to go track down evidence of past discrimination in the library; a junior with the organizational skills and chutzpah to put together an open meeting at the student union to tell the DePauw student body what had really happened; and the editor of the DePauw student paper (what were they thinking?!?).
If Delta Zeta wanted to do a scientific experiment to raise the consciousness of smart, ambitious, accomplished young women, they couldn't have done a better job. I predict that the DePauw students will go on to kick ass and take names for the rest of their lives.

After watching several vintage Arbuckle flicks, it's amazing how deft he was at seemingly carelessly flipping a knife in the air, and have it land, wiggling edge-in, deep into a butcher's block.
No wonder a lot of his short movies involved food, or a kitchen. That dude was a master juggler, among other things.
Gad, I hated the Delta Zetas. They didn't pledge me because I was drinking at the bloody football game. Imagine that.
Cspan2 has the popular black astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
I would still have to be drunk to watch a football game.
And from reading several accounts of his precipitous fall from grace, I think Arbuckle was egregiously fucked, unlike Virginia Rappe.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on Cspan2 says lotteries are not a tax on the poor, they are a tax on people who did poorly in mathematics in high school.
Obviously the Republican contingent, eh? As Mom's Mabley always said, "Beauty's only skin deep but ugly's to the bone."
Based on some of the things the ones who left said, it sounded like the ones who stayed were the ones who weren't all that invested before.
I guess they liked being in a sorority, and just wished all those losers would go away...

I've been saying that for years. Although, when I said it, it sounded suspiciously like "FUCK BUSH". But still...

SOME of America’s most senior military commanders are prepared to resign if the White House orders a military strike against Iran, according to highly placed defence and intelligence sources.
Tension in the Gulf region has raised fears that an attack on Iran is becoming increasingly likely before President George Bush leaves office. The Sunday Times has learnt that up to five generals and admirals are willing to resign rather than approve what they consider would be a reckless attack.
“There are four or five generals and admirals we know of who would resign if Bush ordered an attack on Iran,” a source with close ties to British intelligence said. “There is simply no stomach for it in the Pentagon, and a lot of people question whether such an attack would be effective or even possible.”
A British defence source confirmed that there were deep misgivings inside the Pentagon about a military strike. “All the generals are perfectly clear that they don’t have the military capacity to take Iran on in any meaningful fashion. Nobody wants to do it and it would be a matter of conscience for them.
The chimp is losing his own military.

Shit yeah. Marxism rules this bitch. Nametag says "Ask me about the historical inevitability of socialism."
In 1985 Neil deGrasse Tyson won a gold medal with the University of Texas dance team at a national tournament in the International Latin Ballroom style.
Haloscan (Boooo!) wouldn't let me post before and now it's too late to make much sense. Eli had asked if I'd seen Lady in the Water and the best I could do was Lady in the Lake:
Since I brought up Lady in the Lake, it's notable as the first and only Hollywood movie filmed entirely from the lead character's point of view.
Robert Montgomery (Elizabeth's father) is the star but the only times you see him are when he looks in the mirror. You see his hand when he puts on or takes off his hat
It's a Philip Marlowe movie, co-written by Raymond Chandler. I keep thinking Veronica Lake is in it but she's not

My gh'daughter's tumor is not vaginal, but in her back, too big to remove surgically at this point. She also has a couple of nodules in her lungs, and they went for one for a biopsy, easier on her than requiring the pediatric neurosurgeon for going for the back. Also took bone marrow to see if there are cx cells there, and they will do bone scan next week to see where else - of anywhere - the Beast is.
I'm not trying to be negative, but it is my nature to look, mouse-like - for all the potential dangers. This trait irritates the hell out of people, but I don;t do it to be morbid, I do it to assess the dangers.
If she already has mets - and she apparently does (e.g., lungs), then her prognosis suffers. If it's not vaginal (or, testicular in the case of boys), the prognosis is less easy. She has it in her trunk, possibly her extremities. These are counts that detract (as I understand it) from the happier prognosis.
We'll know more soon. It's a roller coaster.
And from reading several accounts of his precipitous fall from grace, I think Arbuckle was egregiously fucked, unlike Virginia Rappe.
Max Planck
Boy, was he railroaded.
Virginia Rappe's reputation was rather...shall we say...unsavory.
Oh, what the hell....she was a whore!
we're actually talking about the Fatty Arbuckle case, aren;t we? You guys simply and consistently amaze me with the range of your knowledge.
Sarah Deere,
My thoughts are with you and yours.

I thought I was the only one with the first Boz Scaggs album. I found my mint condition vinyl copy in the late 80s for $4. The cellophane was still on it, though slit at the jacket opening.
The previous owner either took excellent care of his albums, or disliked it and never played it.
Rappe would've been fine had there been medically safe abortion.

Oh dear. I am so sorry.
That's so unfair. So unfair.
I didn't really want to either. That response is it with this shit, for me.
I just got back from a party, mang. NOW what the fuck is going on?
Or is it more of the same? Does Le Manger du Pate have nothing else to do but beat a dead horse into its individual molecules?!?!
When active, as opposed to retired, generals and admirals question bush's decisions openly, that's the sort of mutiny which harkens the end of his reign. To use one of his trademark words during his first year in office, bush is now "irrelevant." And the republic congresspeople and presidential hopefuls are all weak, unpopular has-beens who are no longer noticed or listened to.

Well... what do you think?
He's a big sillyhead. Also, I think he's wanting to whitewash his background in the event he may ever be "Marcotted."
Sarah, I feel so bad for your granddaughter.
I wish there was something I can do, beyond sending good thoughts.
DWD, your boy is GORGEOUS!!! Rowwwrrr. Wish I were 18....

Thank you. I dunno. My wife tells me that when the older boy comes to visit her in the doctor's office all of the young women go nutso for the bigger one. He seems to exude sexuality - not sure why. To me he is just kind of goofy. (The younger one is 19 and the older one is 22)

We had our honeymoon in that same place. the St. Francis Hotel. Ours ended up better.

Then he's a big "idiot head" as well.

Nobody would be crazy enough to hire him.
Oh damn, SD. That's not what any of us wanted to hear, of course. Peace.

BTW, I'm apparently responsible for Thers' outing. Just thought I'd come clean on that. Because, you know, I hate the fucker and want to destroy him, all because Atrios links to him all the time.
Oh, Sarah, I'm so sorry. I'm sending positive vibes, for what little they're worth, to you and yours.
It's just not fair. 4LG is right.
I hate cancer.
Can we all just quit polluting the world now?
Sarah, Probably the hardest part of the entire experience is feeling helpless. I wish there was something I could do, there is not. The only thing I can do is continue to offer my best wishes to her and whatever healing thoughts I can muster. These are yours and I wish I could do more. Truly.
Hoping, Sarah.

Seriously, I was trying to read that post and my brain just went numb from the centrifugal force caused by all the spinning.
Frank Capra tells the story of his early days working at Mack Sennett's studio. He attended a script conference for a Fatty Arbuckle vehicle. After an awkward silence someone suggested "There's a flood in the town." Sennett pounded the table, nodding and repeated "There's a flood in the town!." End of conference
Sarah, my condolences.
SD-
I'm so sorry
It's just not fair. 4LG is right.
The number of children and animals that are being diagnosed with cancer these days is heartbreaking.
Did you guys know that half of all dogs die of cancer?
Isn't that fucking crazy?
BTW, I'm apparently responsible for Thers' outing.
I'm pretty sure you're responsible for athlete's foot, the heartbreak of psoriasis and global warming as well.
You fuckety fuck.

I LOVE researching the early days. They winged the crap out of it. And the actors were willing to do ANYTHING for the shot back then. We patronize an old hippie rental place that has all that vintage stuff.

No, it doesn't. On the other hand, he's so fucking scary and repulsive that cancer cells run away from him yelping.
How's your mom's dog doing, btw?

Tumor seems to still be localized and he's still eating everything in sight.
She's got him on a Chinese herbal regimen. Don't know whether that has anything to do with it, but he's happy because now his two meals have been divided up into 3 (to accommodate all the pills).

I'm not a terribly good reader. My sister is far better at the literary stuff than I, but she's not terribly good with higher math, so I win.
Still, I figure if I read it three times, I'll get some real appreciation for what she is trying to say. That's my figure, by the way. After three readings, I get a sense of what the author is trying to tell me. Sometimes.
Yup.
Sorry.
