Hmm.......
Rangel: 'Dennis Miller is a born loser' "The only positive thing I can say about him is that he never gives up."
"I hope that Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House and third in line for the presidency of the United States would never be tempted to respond to a comedian who has never, but never, made it," Mr. Rangel said, driving the point home.
Uncivil!
And the mortgage interest deduction should be reformed or eliminated....
Alcohol and sex, maybe not in that order.

From the Melbourne Herald Sun:
UNMASKED CIA agent Valerie Plame has revealed she feared for the lives of her family and other covert agents after senior White House officials "carelessly and recklessly" blew her cover.
Unlike the cowardly, Chimp-sucking papers in this country, this Australian paper realizes the dangers poor Valerie and her friends face because of the Republic traitorous activities.
Dennis Miller sucks.
That is all.
Don't fuss Sinfonian. My wife has been on "pelvic rest" for the last 5 months.

UNMASKED CIA agent Valerie Plame has revealed she feared for the lives of her family and other covert agents after senior White House officials "carelessly and recklessly" blew her cover.
How could she? She was never covert, she was never in any danger, she only had a desk job, and besides, there's no evidence anyone in the White House knew she was covert when they leaked her status as a CIA agent in a blatant act of political retribution.
Which means it wasn't illegal, so: no harm, no foul.
See how easy that is?

Just because she says she worked for the CIA doesn't make it so.
The problem with the global waming deniers is the same one as with the Creationists. They expect you to believe that over the last 3-4 decades thousands of scientists in dozens of countries and hundreds of independent institutes have a vested interest in promoting bogus science for a few skimpy grants, but the recent trickle of denialists are stalwart, pure beings of truth, despite being paid in bundles of small unmarked bills by the fossil fuels industry.

...there's no evidence anyone in the White House knew she was covert...
That's the one that really makes me grind my teeth. They're saying that they decided to publicize a CIA employee and no one in the entire White House thought to call the CIA and inquire as to whether that might be a bad thing.
Never in my life have I seen so many highly placed people declare themselves to be ignorant fools. The press adds insult to injury by refusing to declare that simple truth.

Si si. As poputonian posted over at digby's joint:
... Digby suggested earlier that Henry Waxman might hire some prominent bloggers in order to save time and expense on the Plame investigation. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Why bother when Hank could hire one Republican lawyer from Vermont. This amazing lady has already finished researching the entire catalog of Bush non-crimes, and did so in just fifteen hours.
I spent more than 15 hours researching the specific allegations outlined to support the impeachment resolutions in order to determine their accuracy, because I concluded that if Democrats and Progressives are seeking such a profound change without an election, the facts which are the basis for the proposals must be serious and well documented.
The conclusion of my research: Every single one of the "facts" upon which the resolutions are based is false and misleading. ...
Fifteen hours! Gosh!

Dan 'Still Not Getting Any' Riehl described Hayden's statement as 'hearsay'. The wingnuts do like their fact-sensitive sunglasses.
Enquiring Minds: to answer your question about a Bush; an FU in the USA is "4 to 6 months". In England and other early adopting countries, it was codified as the Standard Metric Friedman Unit of 6 months. The New Metric Friedman recently passed for International use by all countries not already using either the US or Standard Metric Friedman Unit is 10 months, although in some nations the New Metric Friedman has been recognized as "9 to 10 months", but these are generally small or obscure island nations which recieve all of their news of the outside world from newspapers arriving in boats, and which have a distended or entirely non-existant concept of time, or "time-sense" to begin with. The International Committee has ruled, however, that usage of the 9 to 10 months standard by these nations does not violate the New Metric Friedman Unit standard, but that the NMFU is nonetheless oficcially and formally defined as 10 months. A Bush, currently, is an unspecified number of Friedmans, not infinity. There is a difference, but you may wish to discuss that with Professor Wombat, who is the recognized authority on such mathematically advanced subjects as Dimensionless FU's, Bushes, and the like. Hope this helps.

Along with Tommy I picked up several other Who CD's yestiddy. Currently, I'm lissening to 'The Who by Numbers' after a whole lot of years.
Damn, I forgot how good this shit is.
Thinking about the Wilsons' proposed move to New Mexico. Santa Fe, generically, a lovely place. But I wonder if they've considered Espanola? Or Las Vegas or Silver City? Or Taos or Los Alamos - all these places are extremely difficult to -get to- if you're a jackass trying to get a story. They're a lot of work. They might as well be in BC. They are, on the other hand, easy enough to get to Jackalope, the Pink Adobe and Trader Joe's when necessary. A lot like Trail, BC. (Not the Pink Adobe or Jackalope.) But the kids might really do well in Espanola.
Anybody got a copy of the movie of Red Sky at Morning? If I'm going up to Santa Fe in awhile, I need to remember how to parallel park alongside the Woolworth's in the plaza....

Well, I think interest is deductible on up to 1.1 million of mortgage debt for each of TWO houses (the second house can be a yacht). So we have poor working people paying taxes to subsidize vacation mcmansions.
The mortgage interest deduction just ends up being a subsidy for fast buck anti-union developers anyway....

The repubs started shifting their narrative yesterday. It used to be "Plame wasn't covert" but since they can't say that anymore, the new excuse is "the CIA didn't do anything to protect her, so it's not the WH fault."
Because people with top security clearances have no responsibility to ask questions or verify anything before calling every reporter they know and telling them about a CIA employee who's husband is making them look like the chumps they are.

When Novackula called the CIA to ask about her, didn't they give him a big warning off? I find it hard to believe that, if someone from the White House called, they wouldn't give any even bigger warning.
I also can't believe no one, after hearing what Novackula had planned, didn't attempt to alert the White House.

The last time I was livig at home my family had a cat. We always had dinner together, and our cat would always prowl the perimeter of the group yeowling. Every other night he would put his paw up on the surface of the table at a corner. 9 times out of ten my dad or my kid brother would slam that paw with their fist. The tenth time my sister or mother would give him a scap of something yummie to eat. That was all he needed to keep doing it.
I feel that was about sex.

I went to a drum clinic once when i was in HS with Louis Bellson. Up til then I thought Buddy Rich was the fastest and had most rudimentary control, but Louis was even more amazing....the shit he did was inhuman.
the new excuse is "the CIA didn't do anything to protect her, so it's not the WH fault."

Yeah, saw that lady lawyer in VT. hysterical. She has come to the conclusion that there is no evidence, which is just amazing since a whole bunch of newspaper editorials said basically the same thing, and told us that we shouldn't worry our pretty little heads over such weighty matters as impeachment at Town Meetings, which they also said are really poorly attended, and need the time to discuss things more important to the community. Its funny though, how they said all this in their editorials after refusing to print hundreds of letters containing opposing viewpoints. This is what they try to call a "free and independent" press these days in VT, exactly like Fox tries to call itself "fair". They are not folling anyone but themselves, and are living in severe denial, as the Town Meetings were PACKED. 2 to 1 that lady GOP lawyer has cocktail weenies with at least one or more of the newspaper editors on a regular basis.

Economics reporter or some expert guest said on ABC news tonight that the 400,000 mortgage foreclosures in 2006 are predicted to double to 800,000 in 2007, which will have dampening effect on housing prices for everyone (My take: well, maybe not the uberrich).

Would shooting him have been enough warning?
Out of my brain on the 5:15
I've felt sad lately. You see, it appears as if the two media-annointed front runners for the Dem nomination are HRC and Obama, both of which have demonstrated to me that they are, to a greater (HRC) or lesser (Obama) "go along to get along with the corporate-imperial establishment" types of "liberals."
Once again, the dumbshit American public, that still unquestioningly lets itself get brainwashed by the corporate media, will go vote for one of these two clowns thinking that they represent real change. Once again, the American people, will let the corporate media direct them who to vote for. Americans, and much of the ruling establishment, by 2008, will be so disgusted with the GOP that they will elect a Democrat thinking they are gonna get something different from what they've been getting the last 6 years. The problem is, that Dem will be owned by the very same powers and interests that have pushed the GOP agenda of cornering the Middle East for Oil/Israel, pro-corporate globalization, the continued outsourcing of jobs, etc.
And when the GOP starts attacking the Dems with their BS attacks ("his name is Muslim," or "she's a lesbian"), progressives will once again be left in the absurd position of rallying to the side and defending one of these two corporate clowns, because it's all they've got--because it's all that, under this system, they can ever hope to have. ("Well, at least one of the Democrats is better than any Republican," they'll say. Which IS true. But not by much.)
Meanwhile, the corporate/new world order keeps rolling on, and a true progressive/anti-imperial agenda never moves any more forward. Meanwhile, the military-industrial-imperial complex keeps rolling along, while the only peole actually getting wealthier will be the top, top slice of the population.
Is this a great political system, or what?

I've had enough of tryin' to love my brother
I've had enough of bein' good
And doin' everything like i'm told I should
If you need a lover, you'd better find another
Life is for the living
Taking never giving
Suspicion takes the place of trust
My love is turning into lust
If you get on the wrong side of me you better run for cover
I've had enough of bein' trodden on
My passive days are gonna be long gone
If you slap one cheek, well, I ain't gonna turn the other
Life is for the living
Takers never giving
Fooling no one but ourselves
Good is dying
Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world
I'm gettin' sick of this universe
Ain't gonna get better; it's gonna get worse
And the world's gonna sink with the weight of the human race
Hate and fear in every face
I'm gettin' ready and I've packed my case
If you find somewhere better, can you save my place?
Fooling no one but ourselves
Love is dying
Here comes the end
Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world
And then one day things weren't quite so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, 'Son, now don't be silly'
'She's been dead since 1929'
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Lily's time
It would have been alright
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night

Crack it open

Put your finger down my throat

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
Well, regarding the Who's Lyrics, I guess it is different strokes and all of that. I just never found anything very memorable there but the music is fine.
I have sort of divided the world into people who favor lyrics and those favor music. Honestly a real music person hears the lyrics, may even have them memorized, but does not take them into themselves. The other type incorporates them into their being. (Kind of a stupid observation, eh? Don't really know how to explain it any better, sorry)

As the cafe was closing
On a warm summer night
And cathy was cleaning the spoons
The radio played the hit parade
And I hummed a long with the tune
She asked me to change the station
Said the song just drove her insane
But it weren’t just the music playing
It was me that she was trying to blame.
Chorus:
And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain’t it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring
But it’s far, far from me

Drum thread? Cool. Once you reach the top end of the scale, i.e. Bellson, Rich, Morello, etc., it becomes a more subjective situation in which style, taste and musicality play larger roles than technique for its own sake. Each succeeding generation stands on the previous one's shoulders, and as amazing as Rich and Bellson were (I played with Bellson, refused the Rich gig), Terry Bozzio and Dennis Chambers can do things literally with one hand that the old guys used two for. My fave is Jack DeJohnnette, and I have the great fortune of having one of Jack's proteges as my main call drummer, the phenomenal Arti Dixson, who possesses amazing speed, agility and independence. My measure these days is who can play the shit out of the set without overwhelming the band or the audience. That's Arti Dixson in a nutshell.

From The First Salute by Barbara W. Tuchman:
Philip II, having transferred the cost of the war into a huge debt owed to the merchants and magnates of Spain, had declared his exchequer in bankruptcy in 1575 and had received a dispensation from the Pope permitting him to revoke all promises or commitments "lest he should be ruined by usury while combating the heretics." With his customary lack of sense, the richest monarch of his time applied the dispensation to non-payment of his army on the theory that, as he was God's instrument for crushing heresy, whatever he did, whether or not wise, was right.

Unfortunately I think this is directly on the money. The illusion of change is there, but the only change is generally for the worse.
What has happened is that the entire operation and function of government itself has been completely supplanted and subverted by the corporations, and they are not about to allow the governmnet to excersise its legitimate role of regulating them. It's a problem which unfortuantely may make revolution inevitable, unless the Democrats can pass some reforms with actual teeth. At this point as I see it that chance is still exactly 50/50. It's nice we won and all, but there's still a ton of us out here who have gone for years without any of the money, medical care, or other benefits and services we earned, and they are still pouring billions into their war machine every month. It is not a very encouraging process.

To me lyrics and music are indistinguishable. I guess that is why, for the most part, I always migrate back to John Prine and Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan and John Gorka and the rest of those whose words are valued more than their music.
But I do appreciate the music as well. I just get lost in the words.
We rented from Netflix that perfectly dreadful Leonard Cohen tribute film (Please STAY AWAY if you are thinking of it - it bites the green weenie) and one of the artists started doing WINTER LADY and these words came up,
"She used to wear her hair like you
except when she was sleeping,
and then she'd weave it on a loom
of smoke and gold and breathing." and I was sucked right in again.
I think I am just strange.

Brief update on the pet food recall: the list of products affected has been updated at the Menu Foods site, and Eukunuba, IAMS, and Science Diet are all on the list.
I was at the pet food store a little while ago, and in addition to the foods listed, they were also suspending sales of Wellness, manufactured by Mother Hubbard, since there was a "possibility" it could also be affected. I should add our cats eat Wellness, and we've had no problems.
The few brands they were certain were not affected were Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul, Natural Balance, and Castor and Pollux. (The letter from the store is here.)
And of course, this affects cat and dog food both.
"Yeah, there will be some flatulence in the ol' house tonight."

Ain't it interesting how almost all brands of Cat food are made by just one company? I once worked for a fish cooking company (in Lowell, MA) when I was young (fish sticks, breaded filets, scallops, shrimp. Heat n' serve, etc.) They made about a dozen different well known brands. Sometimes they changed the breading formula, but most often just the boxes they packed them in.

There were spaces between Donald and whatever he said.
Strangers had forced him to live in his head.
He envisioned the details of romantic scenes
After midnight in the stillness of the barracks latrine.
Hot love, cold love, no love at all.
A portrait of guilt is hung on the wall.
Nothing is wrong, nothing is right.

And I wish she was my girl instead
But she won't let me live with her

but i admit, listening to rep westmoreland accusing ms plame of being a [gasp!] democrat did get me stirred up.

What are the choices, Democrat or self-loathing Republican?

And even today:
I met a...
Gin soaked barroom queen in Memphis.
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She tried to heave me up across her shoulders
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind...
You guys can talk about cookies all you want. The girl Scouts came through the other day, so I got a stash when I want it. Not good shit, granted, but techically it's "Cookies".
I slopped at the corner on cold chow mein and shot billards with a midget
until the rain stopped
Hey Shaw,
I have all this flat-leaf parsley. Can I make a pesto with it?
res ipsa loquitur
Yes, you can. And if you have some fresh spinach, use it too, it makes the pesto silky. Don't forget the parm cheese and garlic.
And pine nuts.
Sometimes I throw in a tblspn. of butter.
Oh, and extra virgin o.o.
parsley pesto.
MMMMMmmmmmm.

what's with the stones & tom waits?
Morning broke out the backside of a truck-stop
the end of a line a real, rainbow-likeing, luck stop
where you could say I became chronologically "fucked-up".
Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped off.
Then, I found a place it's dark and it's rotted.
It's a cool, sweet kinda-place
where the copters won't spot it
and I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it,
however, every-day I'm dumping the body.
It'd be better for us if you don't understand.
It'd be better for me if you don't understand
Shaw,
I'm going to make it right now. Thanks.
I hate letting stuff go to waste.

I love Cohen and his lyrics: but not ALL of them. An awful lot of them are simply shit. But when he does it correctly, they are remarkable.
Here's my top 10. (And there are not a lot beyond this)
Suzanne, Alexandra's Leaving, Sisters of Mercy, If It Be Your Will, Winter Lady, Who By Fire, Stranger Song, Last Year's Man, Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye, Hallelujah.
tom waits?

I was there upon a four poster there. Mind touseled I came to bear some thoughts from the past amid a dash of influenza. And then I came to see in baggage the memories of truncated souvenirs. The war years. High moon I said high moon lighted high moon eye to my moon.
Far beyond the blue mist enveloped lawn the blanketed night comes on. The champagne is dead and gone. The forest around sensitive sound forest primeval. Through the panes cloud buttermilk war remains and twisted cross war refrains lunatic so high moon I said high moon lighted high moon eye to my moon.
Your age will most probably carry away the letters enveloped in carrion. Vague unpleasantries of the war. May your son's progenitorship of the state haphazardly help him to carry on. God send your son safe home to you. High Moon. You're eye to my moon.

I remember my brother telling me about Princess Di's death, he was working at the time at our local hotel and it didn't really affect me, I recall what was on TV, passed me by though.
In 1997 I was 11 years old, about to start comprehensive school and the year Labour got into power after 18 years out in the wilderness.
larry johnson really doesnt care for victoria toensing:
And America got a disturbing look at a Republican party devoid of reason and just plain common sense when Georgia Congressman Lynn Westmoreland and Libby loyalist Victoria Toensing did the intellectual equivalent of declaring, THERE IS NO SUN.
You see, it was rainy and cloudy outside. Since they could not see the Sun there was in fact no Sun. They had to see it to believe it. Okay. I'm making that part up. Westmoreland and Toensing were far more obtuse and stupid than a person who insisted the Sun did not exist because they could not see it. They demonstrated a level of stupidity and obtuseness that one usually only encounters among schizophrenics hospitalized with the criminally insane.

Why do you call the queen "Brenda"? I never heard that.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator | Homepage | 03.17.07 - 7:39 pm | #
its the nickname used by Private Eye, a satirical magazine for Queen Elizabeth II.
from wiki
The Royals
* Queen Elizabeth II is always referred to as "Brenda", and the Prince of Wales as "Brian". This is a result of the 1969 BBC documentary Royal Family, after which the magazine gave each member of the Royal Family working class nicknames, as though they were characters in a soap opera. The Duke of Edinburgh is "Keith", the late Princess Margaret was "Yvonne", and the late Diana, Princess of Wales was dubbed "Cheryl".

The US is ready to defend its interests in the Middle East for decades to come, even though the Iraq war has been tougher than expected, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday.
Radical Iraqi Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr urged his followers Friday to oppose occupying troops, raising the pressure on US-backed Iraqi forces conducting a security crackdown in Baghdad.
Gates was speaking at a ceremony where Admiral William Fallon was formally installed as the new head of US Central Command, putting him in charge of US forces in the Middle East and Central Asia.
Gates said the United States will continue to stand by its allies in the region.
The US is "dedicated to strengthening those commitments and defending our interests for the decades to come. And we will do all in our power to protect and defend our homeland," he said.

Hecate--as a Catholic, I loathe this current pope nearly as much as I do the regime in the US, and that's saying something.
HBK, I haven't had the chance to lament to you about Clear Channel taking Momma away from me.

I just made the mistake of reading David Brooks latest serious column for serious (non-hippie) people.

The US is "dedicated to strengthening those commitments and defending our interests for the decades to come. And we will do all in our power to protect and defend our homeland," he said.
Then get your fucking ass home.
Thanks to the brainless Zionist war Gates shored up for his neofeudal masters, the United States is no longer a superpower and would have its ass kicked like Iraq and Afghanistan are doing to it now if it bites of any more. Thanks to Rumsfeld's policies of starving the military and building up mercs, about which notice there never were any news stories about huge housecleaning reversals when Gates came in, we now have only just enough teeth to oppress ourselves, which is what they wanted for the lean years to come.
Couldn't do without Momma.

AIPAC's three-day summit included fiery evangelical oratory, adoration for Dick Cheney -- and new plans for going after Iran.
By Gregory Levey
Mar. 16, 2007 | At the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee this week in Washington, a conservative Christian couple from eastern Tennessee told me that their son had decided to join the Israeli army. It was one of many surreal moments during the three-day gathering hosted by AIPAC, the lobbying group devoted to ensuring close U.S.-Israel ties that remains extraordinarily influential in Washington. "We just love God, and we just love Israel," the couple beamed, when I asked why they had come to the conference.
"The sleeping giant of Christian Zionism has awoken!" [Evangelical Pastor John] Hagee proclaimed, taking the microphone at the opening dinner reception on Sunday. The electrified crowd -- most of it Jewish -- roared in support, pounding on the tables. Hagee went on to declare the United Nations a "political brothel" and asserted that Israel must never give up land. He agreed with Israeli writer Dore Gold that granting part of Jerusalem to the Palestinians would be "tantamount to turning it over to the Taliban." And, after rebuking Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he led the crowd in a chant of "Israel lives!" urging them to "shout it from the mountaintops!"
(Snip)
During Hagee's oratory, an AIPAC delegate sitting near me said, "I'm going to vote for him instead of McCain."
It's a good read.
Being St. Patricks Day here's an anti-war diddy from the Dropkick Murphys.

'No alcohol' warning for pregnant women
Confusion over health advice as US style ban moves closer
Women will be told not to drink while pregnant or even when trying for a baby in controversial government guidelines which will mean warning labels being put on bottles of wine, spirits and beer.
The plea for total abstinence follows growing fears over the rise among binge drinking among young women and concern that maternal drinking can cause possible brain damage in the womb. The new warnings are being fiercely resisted by the drinks industry on the grounds it contradicts the Department of Health's own official health advice to expectant mothers, which allows up to two units a day - the equivalent of a single glass of wine - once or twice a week.
First concert was with my family, Rod Stewart, for mother's day (mom had a crush).

Certainly true in my case.
Vibrators for anal use should always include a flared base. Otherwise, there's some risk that an excited user could accidentally push the toy all the way in. If it becomes irretrievable, it will continue to run until the battery dies. Since the vibe no longer has air circulating around it, it's likely to overheat, possibly causing severe internal burns.

Scientists studying pictures from Nasa's Odyssey spacecraft have spotted what they think may be seven caves on the surface of Mars.
The candidate caves are on the flanks of the Arsia Mons volcano and are of sufficient depth their floors mostly cannot be seen through the opening.
Details were presented here at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, Texas.
Temperature data from Mars Odyssey's Themis instrument support the idea.

(Released December of 1970)
You poisoned my sweet water.
You cut down my green trees.
The food you fed my children
Was the cause of their disease.
My world is slowly fallin' down
And the airs not good to breathe.
And those of us who care enough,
We have to do something.......
(Chorus)
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Your newspapers,
They just put you on.
They never tell you
The whole story.
They just put your
Young ideas down.
I was wonderin' could this be the end
Of your pride and glory?
(Chorus)
I work in your factory.
I study in your schools.
I fill your penitentiaries.
And your military too!
And I feel the future trembling,
As the word is passed around.
"If you stand up for what you do believe,
Be prepared to be shot down."
(Chorus)
And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the run..........................
An Im always getting busted
And I got to take a stand........
I believe the revolution
Must be mighty close at hand.......................
(Chorus)
I smoke marijuana
But I cant get behind your wars.
And most of what I do believe
Is against most of your laws
I'm a fugitive from injustice
But I'm goin' to be free.
Cause your rules and regulations
They dont do the thing for me
(Chorus)
And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live just like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the run.

Oh, well, if you all really want to do this, on your heads be it.
The last thing in this world or the next that I want to ever do is worry about what the Irish or the English or the Scots or bluidy Welch had in their minds or hearts or souls when they did this that or the other thing.
For me - it all comes down to cookies, the land and the love of a good Dog.
Goodnight! Don't fight!

Forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander, or the charisma of Rick Nielsen?"
The competent drum work of Mel Shalker?
Oops...wrong band.
" I wanted to cover that song for a Halloween Heavy Metal gig two years ago and looked for words & chords online. "
all i remember is:
you look so pale, you've lost so much weight
6 months ago was the last time you ate.
Are we the only people noticing that Sadr urged resistance to the U.S. yesterday?
Attaturk
yeah I commented that a couple of times yesterday. It seemed to have disappeared from the wire service, was hoping Cole had an item about it this morn.. Seems there is a lot of division amongst the militias, whoever brokered the peace deal with the U.S. was killed, and the Sadrist don't want 100 U.S. bases in Sadr City. If they come back out of the woodwork we're fucked.
First show: Dio-era Sabbath, March 1982.
Thanks ron jazz
Bin Laden is hiding in the caves of Mars!
Moonbootica, Jog On!
Come on out, Osama! It was all just a misunderstanding. KSM confessed to everything.
good bye my sweet
understand what i've done
you can't suffer no more
if the motor won't run

damned quitters.
"you can't suffer no more

classic. very uplifting.
This July 19th, it will be 10 years since I've had a cigarette.
First big concert? Chicago in '72 or '73. Who can remember? It's hazy, like the USAs are today. Too much weed.
My mother died of lung cancer last year after being a lifelong smoker. I assure you that it is a truly horrible way to die.

Was robbed of my mom in her 60th year

David Cameron will accuse Labour of "ripping the heart out of the NHS" in a speech at the Conservative spring conference in Nottingham.
In a stinging attack on Labour's record, Mr Cameron will say government targets have turned the health service into a "vast inhuman machine".
And it is only the Tories - not Labour - who can restore staff morale and improve patient care, he will say.
Labour say no-one will believe Tory promises on the NHS.
But Mr Cameron has used the two-day rally to portray the Conservatives as the party of public services, claiming Labour has lost its way.

its a strange world when New Labour under Blair is into competitive market capitalism, with authoritarian moralistic tendencies and has delabourised the party and to New Labourise the Tory Party.
I don't know what my first show was, but I vividly recall Jeff Beck with Rod Stewart, Boston Tea Party, 1967. Excellent. Led Zep somewhere around the same time, sucked out loud. 1966, Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Michael Bloomfield, unbelieveably powerful. Wes Montgomery, more charisma than the whole British Invasion.
you kids, off the lawn, fer chrisakes.
Somebody finally figured out the most appropriate way hang a Confederate flag. Check out the photo with the story...
Uproar hits Fla. Confederate flag show
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/
20070...onfederate_flag
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - When artist John Sims sees the Confederate flag, he sees "visual terrorism," and a symbol of a racist past. When Robert Hurst sees the flag, he is filled with pride as the descendant of a soldier who fought for the South during the Civil War.
Their differences have flared into a war of words, catching a local museum in the middle.
Hurst walked into the Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science this past week and saw an exhibit by Sims, including a Confederate flag hung from a noose on a 13-foot gallows in a display titled "The Proper Way to Hang a Confederate Flag."
Hurst asked the museum to remove the display, along with 13 other pieces by Sims.
The museum, however, announced Friday it is standing by Sims' work, on display since Feb. 26, because it wants to inspire dialogue in the community about a symbol that engenders a diversity of strong responses.
You folks got me to thinking and now the first concert (HA) that I went to was D. Eddie and his twangy get-tar.
Ofcourse it was at a bowling ally.

Four attacks using chlorine gas since Jan 28th does not say capitulation to me.

My Mummy was 64. I've missed her since I was 28. Do any of you children have any idea idea how it feels to be motherless for this long? To nurse your Mother in her death?
Tis'n't worth it you know.

I didn't appreciate Duane Eddy until a few years ago, Great sound, solid playing.
They better not destroy the "Friedman Unit". I actually entered a section on it on Friedman's bio on Wiki. Friedman himself probably called up and complained.
What happened to the freedom of ideas, Tommy Boy, and free TRADING of ideas?
Epic tours-
Yes- Close to the Edge
Santana-Abraxas
Emerson Lake and Palmer- Works
Pink Floyd- The Wall

My granddad died of lung cancer shortly after I was born. Naturally I smoked for 10+ years. Quit for good in 1996. Nasty shit. I don't miss it at all now.
I'll try and quit smoking.
Believe me, it'll be tough. I never would've made it the first few months without support and lots o' ganj.
my mother's aunt died of emphysema
If they get a call from him they will most definitely have to keep it.
But it may not take anything quite so dramatic.

This July 19th, it will be 10 years since I've had a cigarette.

Good for you -- and for the rest of the quitters. I know that is a very, very tough think to kick. Watched daddy res try -- and fail -- to do it several times.
Are we the only people noticing that Sadr urged resistance to the U.S. yesterday? -- Attaturk
[Colbert voices:] No, you are the only people emboldening the Sadr resistance with you noticing!

OK -- it is late & my ISP is misbehaving so I am outta here
But Moonbootica -- please don't think that the Bush/Cheney regime is the epitome of American foreign policy! And if it were easy for a colonial power to govern Iraq, it would still be a British mandate!
& good night!
here in the England, a smoking ban in public places is soon to be put into effect.
First concert I went to See was Black Oak Arkansas. They didn't show up.
The only one I've ever seen was ZZ Top. I hate crowds, so that's understandable that I won't go to large venues.
Have seen Delbert McClinton, And took a date to Lee Greenwood's debut at the Grand Ol Opera. (only cause she insisted)
Zyban is your friend, macushla. Now that you're at work with benefits.
Oh, yeah. I got those now.
I've got a pile o' nicorette gum that never did the trick (and was absolutely disgusting). Other than that, I've never even tried to quit.

There's a powerhouse AM station on 740 KHz out of Toronto that worth a listen (at night)--different era each night-- Fri nite it's 50's- 60's, but not the usual standards. Had a great rockabilly theme couple weeks ago. I have it on a preset in the car here in MA and it gets a lot of use.
Jim Dandy's coming to your rescue, beeyotch!!
coming from a non smoking background, what exactly is the attraction of smoking?
why do people take it up?
Actually, first concert was Eubie Blake, in the ruins at Le Grand Festival Du Jazz in Nice, in 1973.
Just rembered that was the first.
And not a bad one. not at all.
The girl in the Galoises truck gave me a t-shirt and a kiss. I sort of staggered around for a while trying to figure out why I was feeling so lightheaded.

Wellbutrin?
Zap my sister has emphysema and was just in the hospital. The docs were really not sure if she would leave there alive.
She has been on oxygen for 6 years now.
Please do stop smoking.
Moonbo--in my case, I was 13 and very, very stressed out.

Visually it's irreplaceably gorgeous. Our ongoing projects features censers, cigarette-like units of incense which are not directly sucked like a fag but are dangled and gestured with just like them.
First concert: The Romantics with Red Rider, Rochester NY, July 1984.
It was kind of rainy but the Romantics were all in leather so it didn't really bother them.
Red Rider became one of my favorite bands to this day. They rock.
Other than that, I've never even tried to quit.
Zap O'Rowsdower
Wanting to quit is about 2/3s the battle. Call the doctor, get a prescription for Zyban, don't plan amateur games. Be prepared for.... Not much. Zyban is teh kuhl. You take it, you keep smoking, you don't even realise that you're not smoking very much, and then ..... not very much..... and then.... not at all.... And you're done. Well, other than the gawdawful crud you cough out of your lungs for awhile. But Snyders Onion/Horseradish/Garlic/Burnt Tire prezels take away that taste altogether! And -that-, my dear, is something you never want to go thru again.
Call the doctor on Monday.
not that I'm judging anyone.
just puzzles me.

It's such a nasty habit. It makes your clothes stink, your hair, you, you can't smell properly, taste properly, etc., etc..
IMPEACH CHENEY BUSH NOW
I'm in CT now, work in the City from time to time, hang out a bit, but mostly low profile, lots of corporate gigs, writing, playing, conducting. Always been a hired gun, didn't produce my first CD until around 1990, last one about 2 years ago. Star-time has no appeal for me, and I like to maintain a small footprint, make a nice living, live in a little house near the ocean, be happy and free. Wish I lived in the USA they told me about in school.
And took a date to Lee Greenwood's debut at the Grand Ol Opera. (only cause she insisted)

A lot of the times it's peer pressure...
Auntie GWPDA's advice is wise, Zap. But if you've ever been treated for bipolar disorder, it's one of the worst drugs you can use.

Moonbootica, Jog On
My dad used to force me to take puffs off a cigar when I was 6-7 y.o., thought it would make me sick & not smoke later. Guess the nicotine got ahold of me early.
I remember the smoking clique in my school.
would be standing around in a circle outside the school gates when the day ended puffing away.

I will speak up for John Paul I -- in 30 days he abolished the tiara, said that in many ways God was more our mother than our father & that he understood why the first couple to resort to artificial insemination did so -- I can't think of a single bad thing he did -- I can think of good things J2P2 did (mostly opposing our wars against Iraq) but they are few & far between -- that man caused thousands of deaths in Africa!
Prior Aelred |
I think JP I's death was a little fishy.
The Opus Dei crowd wanted one of their own in there.
McSheets.
I think everyone who takes it up does so for different reasons. In my case, I was not getting on with my mother, I had four younger siblings I was responsible for, and I was told that I was done having fun--my responsibilities were my siblings first and school second. After all, I was just going to get married, wasn't I?
I recall being utterly furious and depressed at that time in my life.
why do people take it up?
It happens.
For me, I come from a long line of family that are pretty partial to addiction...in one form or another.
I don't like it. Zapette doesn't smoke anymore (though she was mad at me today, and had her first in six months). I don't smoke indoors or in our apartment.
Flint, still employed | 03.17.07 - 8:34 pm | #
It's ironic...the Pink Floyd the Wall tour lost a ton of money. The only one who made any money on it was Richard Wright. He was kicked out of the band shortly after the album was finished, then hired as a contract player for the tour, so he was given a fixed salary, where the others waived their salaries in order to put on the show, which was extraordinarily expensive...
actually it seemed the most fun activity for my peers was smoking and drinking, usually standing under lamp posts.
and on Monday they'd be acting all cool like cause of how drunk they got on Friday.
and on reflection, whats so fun about that?
I was never with that element, oh yeah I was a good girl, never went out either Friday or Saturday night, home every day after school, pretty square me.
It's such a nasty habit. It makes your clothes stink, your hair, you, you can't smell properly, taste properly, etc., etc..
Janeane The Acerbic Goblin
Even if you don't smoke, you wind up with the smell of other people's cigarettes in your hair and on your clothes.
My ex smoked and the shit that I had to wipe off windows and mirrors........
Green sheets
And I was also expected to maintain my 'A' average. Which I did.
I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces,

A friend of mine and I watched his boss's house for a weekend, and they were both chain smokers. The smell permeated the house, ashtrays everywhere, discarded packs, and I found the whole thing rather disgusting, which is a shame, as their house (and its surroundings) was absolutely beautiful...
Tobacco was a sacrament to the Native Americans. The stuff in todays cigs is mostly garbage chemicals, hence the higher incidence. If you want to get the real deal on carcinogens and how they have been 100% curing both cancer and aids, and alot of other diseases virtually free, pick up Flood Your Body With Oxygen by Ed McCabe, and research Beta Glucan. The best comes from Beta Force. The google is a cute smiley puppy with the bite of a t-rex.
