HULK SMASH!!!
Moe?
Moe!
Hmm?
This can't possibly last long.
Huggy Bear was wrong in Memphis: went to score points, fouled out.
No Moe Run!
Morning, rational people.
Thanks for the new thread, Molly. I like starting with clean sheets.
Where'd Molly go? Thought she was going to Philly again.
How many times has Huggy Bear granted an interview on the new Imus show? Three now, at least?
No Moe Run!
I sacrifice sometimes, just so others can get some glory.
Moe, denied.
Moe, interrupted.
I am unaware of how to receive the New Don Imus Show , and I don't intend to find out how, either.
Oh my FSM, thank you. I kept trying to reload the thread below, and HaloShitForBrains simply would not do it.
So, if I understand McSame's position (don't know why I should, he doesn't seem to), we can keep troops in Iraq indefinitely as long as they're not doing anything?
Then, uh . . . you know.
RFD-TV, plantsman. Not sure about radio, since I don't listen to the prick.
plantsman,
I leave in a couple of hours. Right now, I'm filling t-shirt orders.
Huggybear was the toast of cable newspunditry last night for his 'courageous' 'nutsack' apology.
I thought the site of that little man on the balcony was cheesy at best. He even mis-spoke saying 'in MLK's member instead of memory.
/scary wang slip?
My partner asked me the other day, why don't you just get the soil and fill the pots up. Why are you putting all those coffee grinds and other things in it. I told him it's more fun doing it like this and I feel like I'm helping the environment, which I am in my small way. The deal is, he's not a "gardner." Anyone who would say that isn't although he believes he's better than me.
I sacrifice sometimes, just so others can get some glory.
Oh, you selfless Canuckistanis!
Filk, the tubes are having problems this morning. The only thing that has worked properly is haloscan. Go figure.
Molly -- Marcellina was hoping you'd set aside a "favorite blog sucks" one for her. I told her I didn't want to commit you to shipping to Austria, and she said maybe you could send it to her when she's in the States this summer.
I am unaware of how to receive the New Don Imus Show , and I don't intend to find out how, either.

I'm with you on that, plantsman. I prefer to keep my blood pressure in the normal range, especially when it comes to the Jerry Springer of the radio waves.

Odd, that.

He didn't! (Did he? Eeek!)

Do you have a firewall, or Norton, Zone Alarm, etc?
My palm tree had some freeze damage from this past winter. I just didn't want to bring it inside because of the bugs and dirt. But it's still alive. I cut it back some.
BTW, my niece was on 'What Not To Wear' last night and it was pretty funny. She is a true hippie. They joked that she had graduated from tiedye to batique (sp?) when going through her closet.
Occasionally I have a dream of the US MSM turning into journalists. Imagine if they ASKED the hard questions of McCain, and all of the candidates, about Iraq? With all the what-ifs etc?
Imagine if the president was regularly challenged, as he was by an Irish reporter years ago, about the misery, murder and chaos caused by the US invasion and occupation in Iraq?
I love this type of palm because it waves with the breezes. Really nice. Always will have a palm tree around me.
Well, Eschacon 08 Far East Edition has come to an end.

We'll know who asks Huggy tough questions by who he avoids. He ain't a Maverick, he's a Republican.
wayne barrett in the village voice has an profile of joe scarborough with an interesting little nugget. i wonder why he doesn't talk about his former client:
The first two abortion doctors murdered by pro-life assassins were shot to death on their way to Pensacola clinics, both during Joe Scarborough's first congressional campaign. In 1993, Dr. David Gunn was killed, and Michael Griffin was accused of his murder. Scarborough represented Griffin pro bono, attributing it, to this day, to a relationship between his then father-in-law and Griffin's fathera relationship that neither would confirm despite numerous calls by the Voice. It is, by any measure, a strange "favor for a friend," which is what Scarborough calls it, though he says he hasn't seen Michael's father, Thomas Griffin, since. Thomas Griffin contributed twice to Scarborough's campaign, $200 each time.

Trachycarpus fortunei , Chinese Windmill Palms, were discovered to be hardy here several years ago. One sees more and more of them.

We actually invited a Great Orange Satanist. He was good--it was a good panel, but clearly they were a separate thing--they didn't hang out at all.
Tom-- waiting until some folks in Mt. Adorable are up to see if they want to drive over with me. My only hesitation is that the weather is supposed to go crazy some time today.

Not sure of the name but it does really well here and really moves with the breeze. Can take some shading. It sends up one long frond from the base. They sell them at Home Depot.
A fish and chips place grafted to a frozen-yogurt shop went out of business, and they put a Baja Fresh in it -- and then installed the most peculiar landscaping around it. More at the homepage.
Okay, this is nuts. It's taking two minutes for this comment thread to load. I'm not sure if it's sticking on HaloScam or Gravatar, but it's sticking on something. Guys, I love you, but I'm going crazy over here. I'll try back later, okay? Hugs all around.

My favourite local store is the aroma therapy & pork place down by the waterfront.
So, is this a Kossak infiltrating Eschacon08 Far East Edition, or just some guy in an orange shirt?

With the right sauce, pork is aromatherapy all by itself.
Aroma therapy and pork? Enigmatic.
Cuckoo rainstorm + me on the road = panic attack, unfortunately. Particularly when there's no where to get out of it.
Cargo pants. Kossack.
My pork farmer friends set up a table at the farmers market. But for the rest of the week they sell their stuff via a freezer and fridge in the aroma therapy store. Just cracks me up.

Wow, he sure does!
I'm not so certain he's a Kossack, though.
V4V She is Danielle, 26 yr old music teacher in Austin, TX. Her show is going to be replayed a few times in the next couple of days. It is worth watching because she is so bright and her comments are really funny (not just Aunt Nancy speak).

health database was set up to ignore the word 'abortion'
WASHINGTON Johns Hopkins University said Friday that it had programmed its computers to ignore the word abortion in searches of a large, publicly financed database of information on reproductive health after federal officials raised questions about two articles in the database. The dean of the Public Health School lifted the restrictions after learning of them.
A spokesman for the school, Timothy M. Parsons, said the restrictions were enforced starting in February.
Johns Hopkins manages the population database known as Popline with money from the Agency for International Development.
Popline is the worlds largest database on reproductive health, with more than 360,000 records and articles on family planning, fertility and sexually transmitted diseases.
Mr. Parsons said the development agency had expressed concern after finding two articles about abortion advocacy in the database. The articles, he said, did not fit database criteria and were removed.

Oh, god. Back in my misspent youth, I worked in a Churchill's Tobacconist store (upscale, actually a mall-based chain). I never smoked regularly -- I can actually rattle off the four cigs, two joings, and one bong I've indulged in -- but I loved the smell of pipe tobacco.
But oh sweet Jesus I hated going in the humidor. Cigars... urkh.

No steroid rage here, no siree...
Thomas found guilty of lying in BALCO probe
In a case that could prefigure the upcoming trial of ex-Giants slugger Barry Bonds, a former bicycle racing champion caught up in the BALCO steroid scandal was found guilty in San Francisco on Friday of lying to a federal grand jury about her use of banned drugs.
Tammy Thomas, who won a silver medal in 2001 at the world cycling championships but then was banned for life after testing positive for steroids, upbraided the jury that convicted her on four felony charges, shouting, "Look me in the eye and tell me you know what you did!"
"I had one career taken away from me!" she yelled.
Moments later, Thomas confronted federal prosecutor Matt Parrella, shouting, "You like to destroy people's lives!" The prosecutor flushed but didn't respond. Thomas, accompanied by her parents and sister, stormed from the courtroom.
Apparently rattled by the outburst, the seven men and five women on the jury refused to comment on the verdicts. After a six-day trial in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, they deliberated for more than 15 hours, then found Thomas guilty of three counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. She was acquitted on two additional perjury charges.
The verdict was a victory for the legal team that will prosecute Bonds, baseball's home run king, on perjury charges. The team includes Assistant U.S. attorneys Parrella and Jeff Nedrow and Internal Revenue Service criminal investigator Jeff Novitzky, the government's star witness at Thomas' trial.
Plant Care.com says Majesty Palms don't take stress well, so if you can keep it, more power to you -- you're doing something right.

Damn right jive turkeys.
The jobs picture had few bright spots. Only education and health care, hotels and restaurants registered noticeable gains in the private sector. Construction was the biggest loser, shedding 51,000 jobs as the slowdown in residential building spread to the commercial sector.
Manufacturing, which has been losing jobs for years, was particularly weak in March, shrinking by 48,000 jobs, in part because of a strike at a supplier of auto parts that resulted in cutbacks in auto vehicle production and layoffs.
Unemployment rose in every sector of the work force, except among teenagers. Hourly wage gains slowed for production workers, who constitute 80 percent of the work force. The 5-cent rise last month brought the average wage to $17.86 an hour, an increase of 3.6 percent since the previous March, not enough to keep up with inflation.
woohoo, everyone is poorer than they were a year ago (wage increases less than inflation), go bush economy!

And the Hammel song about shouting Fuck! hit home because I did that just outside the door of our state Supreme Court when, three minutes late, I couldn't get in to see my friends defend against a developer's SLAPP suit.
I burst out with a fuck! and a guard immediately came out and 'discussed' things with me. I had to wait 'outside' the colonial era building - the accoustics in the room made my outburst jarringly audible, so said my pals.

At Messiah College, a small Christian school in Pennsylvania playing host to a bipartisan forum on faith and compassion, they have announced that both of the Democratic candidates for president -- Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama -- will take part in the April 13 forum in a state that will hold an all-important primary election just nine days later.
""Now more than ever, Americans motivated by faith are bridging ideological divides to address domestic and international poverty, global AIDS, climate change, abortion, genocide in Darfur, and human rights and torture,'' the sponsors of "The Compassion Forum" say.
more than ever? oh fuck off you xtainist freaks! how about talking about the constant warmongering of your xtain country aka "killng in the name of"?

If you water it real good and talk nice to it, it will grow little purple flowers that smell like baby powder.

Rogan josh is an aromatic curry dish. Rogan means clarified butter in Persian, while Josh means hot or passionate. Rogan Josh thus means meat cooked in clarified butter at intense heat.
Very high, in that case.
Being able to touch your shoulders together is kinda cool, though.
I made the mistake of watching the Daily Show rerun in which John Oliver was reading the names of the British war dead ... couldn't stop laughing, then started to cough. Vicodin! Wild Turkey!
IIRC, Rogan is actually a corruption of the Portugese "roja"... red, after the tomatoes that he curry is based on, and originating in Goa.

Morning
LAUSANNE tends to inspire hyperbole. In a country of spectacular natural beauty it is the most beautiful of cities, Switzerlands San Francisco, a city of incredibly steep hills that has developed tiered above the lake on a succession of compact, south-facing terraces. Vistas of blue water, glittering sunlight and the purple and grey of the looming, whitecapped Savoy Alps peep through between gaps in buildings or at the ends of steeply dropping alleys. Much of the city is still wooded, there are plenty of parks, and the tree-lined lakefront promenades spill over with lush, beds of vibrantly colourful flowers. Attractive, interesting, worldly, and well aware of how to have a good time, its simply Switzerlands sexiest city.
The comparisons with San Francisco dont stop at the gorgeous setting. If Switzerland has a counterculture, it lives in the clubs and cafιs of Lausanne, a fact which odd though it seems lies broadly within the citys long tradition of fostering intellectual and cultural innovation. From medieval times, Lausanne has stood at the Swiss cultural avant-garde. Back then, the cathedral crowned the city the most influential of the region; it still sits resplendant on an Old Town hill, the countrys most impressive Gothic monument. After the Reformation, students flocked to Lausannes pioneering university, and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, restless Romantics sought and found inspiration in the setting and the life of Lausanne. It remains a grand-looking city, full of shuttered foursquare mansions and ritzy shopping streets, and with its own glamorous lakeside resort of Ouchy; but, despite the looks, there are few cities in Europe that so actively value and support the pleasure principle. For decades, the municipality has generously subsidized art and culture of all shades, resulting in a range of festivals, live music, clubs, theatre, opera and dance to rival a more sluggish metropolis ten times bigger than 300,000-strong Lausanne. It would be an exaggeration to say you could find anything you wanted in Lausanne, but the happy combination of a long tradition of cultural experimentation, open and willing audiences and chunky public subsidies gives the citys arts and entertainment a refreshing breadth.

I never got San Francisco, but I love Lausanne.

Grading McCain on a curve is becoming something of a habit for Dobbs. The Post scribe's gimmick is that he assigns "Pinocchios" to untrue statements. Well, he sometimes assigns them. Last December, Dobbs wrote of McCain's flagrantly false claim that tax cuts increase revenues: "John McCain is fortunate that I am giving the candidates a pass this week from awarding Pinocchios, as he would qualify for a few on this one."
Dobbs, did you know that Pinocchio has a wooden dick? Just in case you were wondering.

We hit a neighborhood supermarket while in Delhi a year ago. The variety of premixed spices was huge, and certainly makes Indian cooking a lot simpler.
So, Bill Clinton gets $250,000 for a speech. A large "hall" holds 2000 people. Each person in attendance would then be paying $125 for the right to hear him speak ($250 for a couple)

IIRC, the Juno Beach landing was slightly north of 20,000. I don't know how many Canadians were involved in other landings as part of the British operations.
But Canada's contributions to the whole effort were much higher in terms of ratio to poulation, yes.

gromit,
I really thought I understood people: I guess not. The Clintons have never been my favorites. (They are far superior to any Republican though) I find them to be opportunists of the worst stripe. They are people who will say and do anything to gain power that they will then use for themselves and their friends. In the end, I really do not believe they give a shit about anyone else. But that is just my opinion and I am probably wrong.
This obscenity of a financial history since leaving office just pisses me off. An opportunity to do so much good turned into a money-grubbing enterprise.
Shit. And people wonder why I am irritated by it and I wondering why they are not. There is an opportunity to do so much good and raise so many people and causes (and still be rich) and what do they do?

Yes, yes it is. You made him, you can break him.
I am not saying that the ex-President had to live in poverty or anything close to it: but think of the good he could have done for the causes that he supposedly believes in instead of just raising money for himself.
I gave an example last night (that NO one chose to comment on) Suppose a group had a chance to do a lot of good: maybe a small college could fund 100 needy students with a Clinton speech - if they could convince him to waive his fee once. The $200,000 they could raise would be enough to provide these students with an education that they otherwise would never be able to afford.

When they needed clothes, I brought them. When they needed a friend: I was a friend. When they needed a stern voice: I was that too. I laughed with them and cried with them. I advised their parents and received advice.
If their parents did not supply something, I did. I shared my life, my lunch (sometimes) and ultimately my health with my children.
My problem is this: if I can do it, I expect no less of anyone else. That is my measuring stick as a human.
So, if I find the Clintons lacking, it is my business.
And I do.
But of course, the Vietnam POWs for Truth won't get the free ride from the press that the SBVFT got.

I wish you Hillary as the nominee on yourself. I really don't care, that's how cynical I've become. I've already stated this country doesn't deserve Gore or Obama. I like them both too much to want them to be president with what's coming.

That is not all you're saying. what you're saying is that everybody has to help out by your measure, rather than by their own. You are playing fast and loose with the facts, to support your own bitterness. You have no real idea of what the Clintons do or don't do for others; you're all pissed off because they make a lot of money. After 20 years of being pounded on by the rightwing establishment and press in this country, I think they deserve a lot of money, if that's what makes them happy. I think $109 million in 8 years for an ex-president is small change compared to what they could make. I think $10 million to charity and the establishment of trust funds to help people is good work. I don't have a dog in the race yet; i think Hillary is to centrist and conservative, i think Obama is unproven and wishy-washy, and I think they're both light-years ahead of the reprehensible liar McCain. Reality is my measure, not some pie-in-the-sky ideal that doesn't take people's lives into account.
This country doesn't deserve any good. So I want Hillary to be the nominee and think this country deserves more GOP. So I'm apathetic.
This doesn't sound very apathetic to me.

But maybe I am wrong.
Why won't somebody talk to me?
It's interesting that presidents these days are super rich. Money places people not only in nice houses and cars, but also onto boards and charities which would otherwise be penniless.
I certainly learned value of the super rich when working in a museum. Whole collections given by one person.
The merkin way, if you have a lot, you give a lot. Since our system doesn't pay adequately for necessities and cultural institutions.
You know I can't help it.

1. It is a pleasure to have two candidates that can generate so much angst, excitement, fandom and anticipation.
2. Sorry, but I really do not like Hillary's turn to the dark side. I expected that considering the seriousness of the times we live in, the bullshit would be put aside. Both candidates need to focus on our real problems. I have just read in the course of a few days, three airlines falling apart and moving to bankruptcy. We have people beginning to truly trade food for fuel in their budget. We have people increasingly unable to achieve adequate healthcare. We have people losing jobs and being hidden behind low paying, insecure positions. We have an environment about ready to eat our lunch. We have a FUCKING war that is not a war draining our coffers and destroying lives and bodies every single FUCKING day. And Hillary is playing FUCKING games.
We need the right candidate, the right president. If it is Hillary so be it. If it is Obama so be it.
But Hillary needs to start acting like that right candidate, that right president and stop acting like every FUCKING Republican wanna be candidate and cease the bullshit.

In a desperate effort to find those silver linings and overcome a dreadful funk that I've been in for the past month, this could be seen as real progess and learning on the part of John McCain.
He is not advocating a "One Hundred Year" war but rather a "One Hundred Year" occupation. This may seem a small victory over misinformation and ignorance but you gotta take what you can get.
I have been guilty of twisting his position but I would like to accurately state now.....
I will not be voting for John "One Hundred Year Occupation" McCain in November.
There, I hope everyone feels better. I know I do.

You might as well ask that of every rock star, movie star, successful businessman, etc., in history. I understand your position, but it's not your call. How could Clinton achieve his foundation's goals if he decided that one million a year was enough? Y*ou don't have the slightest idea of what his long-term goals are, and i disagree with the greed angle. He's not playing the republican game of amassing wealth and toys for his own benefit, from what I've seen. He's trying to create opportunities for thousands of disadvantaged people who haven't gotten the breaks.
Greenwald is, as usual, on the money today.

No, I am afraid they are not. It is perspective. When I brought students to my house (as I did once a year) for the annual best-behaved students supper and video game visit: they always told me I lived in a mansion. (hardly - but it is perspective, isn't it?)

When a person loses a job and has no income, that is not an "issue". It is a fucking problem. Hell it is a crisis. Just say it.

But this is outta our hands. We can't influence it and trying only leads to pain. Let them have what they want and good luck to them. It really is astonishing and unnerving, though. These same people.
DWD and QL, I wonder why Obama mentioned so many times that the Clintons didn't publish their financials. Obama must think it will hurt them.

And he is probably right but not for the reason everyone thinks. It's not that the tax returns reveal any wrong doing. It is that the returns show that the Clintons are extremely well off, even by American standards.
Barack and Michele, in contrast, have a much more moderate income.
Hillary appeals to her blue collar base and realizing how wealthy they are will alienate a portion of that base. Obama's campaign knows this. Welcome to the nasty world of politics.
And look, they treat ronjazz fine with her/his wingnut "hater this, and hater that" thrown around and all the wingnutia. So it comes from here, too. Are you starting to see?
That's why all the unique ones left here awhile back. I'm going to half-ass stay until the election.
Barack and Michele, in contrast, have a much more moderate income.
yeah a million plus and she got a 200k raise when he was elected to the senate and provided earmarks for her employer.
You don't hear much from the obama campaign anymore about the returns due to the stories about their charitable contributions being so lame
Try to keep up with the story line
