I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Good morning.
Hiya, mer!
That statement is no longer operative.
Oops. That was me.
good morning folks. I am posting from liberal hospital room mountain this morning.
Mornin' again.
Morning, All
happy good excuse to drink day everyone..
liberal hospital room mountain this morning.
News? Or just a visit?
Hey Molly.
Anyone for toasted English muffins, butter and raspberry jam? I've got some extras.
Happy St. Pats day, Molly!
And I do believe birthday greetings are due for the youngest inhabitant of Liberal Mountain.
happy good excuse to drink day everyone..
This time last year, I really, really wanted to have a baby.
I did.
Karin,
Here is what I wrote last night about our snow, "A million stars grace our night sky. The snow is gone now but the grass is cursed with snow mold and the dying ramparts of winter remain, edging the driveways and walkways with blackend, hardend snow.
The detritus of winter's tree-trimming remains nearly everywhere - pine cones scattered, dried and frozen oak leaves, and bundles of sticks lying about waiting to be collected - disturb the matted grass.
The wind's wisp can still be felt as the temperatures dip into the teens."
just a visit. It's been two weeks now. It was early saturday morning two saturday's ago when my wife went in.
We are both going insane, but everything is stable now. Knock on wood.

Indeed they are. There's recent pics at the homepage.
Can't believe it has been a year since SP was born.
I read that atta. apparently we were all concerned about Duncan's travel plans.
Any time some Republican asshole appears for a congressional hearings the dems should be sure and ask him what political party he or she is affiliated with. like that Toensing creep.
I did this yesterday after arriving home. I am not sure what to think of it: but little brother got it the point: spot on. Maybe you will as well.
A young man from a small town north of here graduated from high school two years ago. Finding his prospects for employment limited and his interest and finances for college nonexistent, he joined the Marine Corps. Having been a strong member of his local football team - a team that excelled in the state tournament having made it all the way to the championship game - he was a fine, strong young man who had always made his parents, teachers and coaches proud.
Though there was a danger in joining the Marines, the young man was proud of his country. He was patriotic and wanted to fight for those principles he had been taught. After all, it was his country’s honor that had been attacked and if he were called upon to defend her, he certainly would do his best. So he went to war.
Two weeks ago he came home. Covered with a flag, the town welcomed him home with a parade and much love. The same people who nurtured him as a young man now mourned. His teachers, parents, coaches, friends, and most off all his teammates praised him. The picture in the Muskegon Chronicle said it all: at the front of the sanctuary of the local church, his teammates were lined up wearing their jerseys over their Sunday-best suits. Each number emblazoned in full color to ward off the evil spirits that had claimed one of their own.
This image has invaded my mind and it dances there provocatively. How perfectly pathetic it appears. As if the “team” could somehow fight the lies that sent this boy to die. As if their friendship could somehow make up for the continued deceptions being played out daily. Yet, there they are: standing strong as if this were one more game when they could hold hands in the huddle and beat the enemy.
But who is the enemy?
And the young man is buried. His mamma cries. His daddy’s tears are shed late at night when he realizes that losing a son is the second hardest thing in this world. And as the realization that needlessly losing a son for a lie encompasses him . . . .
I read that atta. apparently we were all concerned about Duncan's travel plans.
trifecta
We warned him to stay out of small planes.
I dunno, trifecta. St. Pat's Day is a pretty cool birthday.
Though we're both Irish, of course. You're some flavor of Scandanavian, no?

thanks for calling sheets, fellas. hmph. Shaw and I were exchanging snake recipes, and you weren't there. hmph.
Did you see that a military jury convicted that murderous fucker who set up a multiple murder of Iraqi civilians in Iraq???
Soldier convicted in death of 3 Iraqis
March 17, 2007
Kentucky FORT CAMPBELL -- A military panel found a 101st Airborne soldier guilty of three counts of negligent homicide but not guilty of premeditated murder in the deaths of three Iraqi detainees. Staff Sergeant Ray Girouard, 24, smiled as he hugged his lawyer and relatives after the verdict. He faced up to life in prison had he been found guilty of premeditated murder. The panel also found Girouard guilty of obstruction of justice for lying to investigators and of conspiracy for trying to conceal the crime. (AP)
there is NO chance that any murderous USer trooper will ever actually face justice for deeds done to Iraqis in Iraq...
Join the Army, Grease a Gook!

Happy Birthday Sean Patrick!

plantsman,
gorgeous!

Molly Ivors
Our family is half Irish, half Italian. All the women married Irish boys, and all my male cousins married Irish girls--one right from County Cork. Their names reflect their Italo/Hibernian heritage.
And they're all beautiful.
My nephew, Kevin Callahan, is 1/2 Sicilian, but more Irish looking than Patrick Fitzgerald.
Of course, this is not unusual here in Boston.
Stay on topic, people!
Or, check out this cool duck toller site (via plantsman). I'm thinking about going to get one-- they were bred down in Yarmouth, and I understand there are a bunch of them down at the pound, waiting to be saved.
God, even Dan Schnorr sees through the fucking fabrications:
When KSM started confessin'--he kidnapped the lingberg baby and robbed the brinks truck--it bumped Abu Gonzales right off the fucking front pages, dinnit?

My cousin and his Italian wife have two girls, one of which is pure Italian-looking, the other of which is pure Irish-looking.
Going to wash the cloth things that cover my mattress.

Sounds yummy, for I have no sausages here today.

I promise not to come in Yarmouth.

stop thinking and go get one...she looks like an absolute love...

I suspect those who write articles on blogs don't actually read the comments--they just note that they exist.
As noted, they're missing the point.
Hey, I can Google with some of them!
S.P. is how old? a year? great 139 kids you got there.
From downstairs - good Irish receipts that don't involve adding salt as the primary seasoning.

Two sets have been mailed. One will be there on Monday. The other at the end of the week.
.25 Friedman owls.
Happy birthday SP.
He is just about the happiest baby I've ever seen.
MSNBC, like the rest of the MSM does suck, but it has the redeeming feature of KO every week-night.
If it wasn't for KO, PBS and world tennis, I'd dump my TV.

I am well...I am here everyday...I just mostly lurk. I have Eschaton open all day at work and keep up with the atriot haps that way.
Well, GWPDA, my friend went and got her one, and even "sponsored" a couple of others at the pund so other people can get them without paying for the shots, etc. The only problem-- not for me, but for others-- is that they aren't papered. My friend thinks that the ones in the pounds are probably a toller/lab mix, but that might actually be a good thing cuz the tollers around Yarmouth a bit in-bred.
Shaw,
Nice!
Shaw,
Kevin looks impressive. Where does he appear?

That they are. Neighbor has one, just a fantastic dog.
...of course they don't do my accounting like my gordon/border mix, but that's another story.
We have the 4th largest St Pats Day celebration in the country here (that is hard to believe even for me but that is what is touted) with Three Days Grace the headlining act with several stages full of muscicans all afternoon....been looking forward to it for weeks!
Oh and sheets!
Stl Patrick's Day in Nova Scotia is kinda redundant.
Shaw,

Rudy
In the Seattle area.
Strange isn't it that a full day after Valerie Plame's appearance before Congress, no one in the media is asking, "Why isn't Cheneychins being indicted for treason?"
Or do I misunderstand the meaning of "outing a covert CIA agent and endangering her spy networks?"
IF that isn't betrayal of your country, what is?
We have the 4th largest St Pats Day celebration in the country here
And what country might that be, laddie?
AP and the NYT today once again making great strides in destroying their credibility by burying and then dismissing Plame's testimony:
Plame Sheds Little Light in Leak Case
"Plame repeatedly described herself as a covert operative, a term that has multiple meanings. Plame said she worked undercover and traveled abroad on secret missions for the CIA.
But the word ''covert'' also has a legal definition requiring recent foreign service by the person and active efforts to keep his or her identity secret."
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/...k-
Congress.html
...and all they had to do was ignore this:
"Plame's testimony on the covert nature of her job was buttressed by a statement that Waxman read at the hearing's opening which, he said, was approved by Gen. Michael V. Hayden, the CIA's director. The statement said that Plame worked in a covert capacity at the time of Novak's column and that her employment status was classified under an executive order."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...7031600276.html
IF that isn't betrayal of your country, what is?
Rudy
Blowjobs.
I guess to the MSM "treason" is in the eye of the beholder.
And if the Gooper noise machine says that "No treason occurred in the Plame matter," then the MSM goes with their beholding.
After all, who else but Gooper corps pay their ad fees?
Shaw,
YOu must be right because Clinton's sexual proclivities received far more attention from the MSM than Cheney's betrayal of America.
Fact is, they even gave Cheney's shooting a man in the face more air-time.
I suppose outing a covert agent and endangering spy networks is too abstract.

Rudy
Well, Victoria Toesing said Plame wasn't covert "under the law."
So, what happend to her doesn't matter.
And the MSM agrees.
I'm sure somebody else has said it, but Props to the NYT for yesterday's editorial.
What the heck is up with Powerline hating Gandhi? Jiminy Cricket, those people are sick.
It appears that two of the fired USA's were working together on a corruption case.

I knew that the straw that would take me away from blogging/reading/watching/thinking was going to show up one day...WELL, it's the fallout from Valerie Wilson's testimony yesterday that is making me want to "tear my hair out"! Someone explain to me WHY if she was "under oath" and said that she had been "out of the country" doing her job in the past 5 years (and if that is one of VICKY'S ongoing reasons for one's being "covert") isn't she to be believed as a "covert/classified/undercover" agent????? Will some BRILLIANT Repug then have her indicted for LYING UNDER OATH!!!! Not to mention watching Bill Maher last night and noticing that no one on his panel (two were journalists) even got to the "KEY" (as they kept saying) of the removal of the federal attorneys...that being, IMHO, that those who would replace them would NOT have to be confirmed by the Congress! HELLO...that's the part of the story that SHOULD mean SOMETHING!!!! We just go round and round in circles...
