Watching the Brewers/Cubs game. It's a good one. Brewers are ahead.
The Twins and Tigers played 16 innings last night.

My partners went to the Thursday game courtesy of Electrolux.
I had to work. 
4th! erm, well sort of.
I'm going to a baseball game.
Probably just to go boo Santa Claus.
I think I'll go swimming.
Good almost afternoon, dear pipples.
What fresh horrors await us?
Oh, and Michael Jackson is still dead.
I'm not sure I'd enjoy a game at Miller Park. Looks like an airplane hangar.
Then again, all the professional ball games I've been to have been at the Metrodome...
Muck the Fets!
Oh, and Michael Jackson is still dead.
Just bury his ass and get it over with already
Toons, already hot in your part of the Valley?

Well, it's tough to watch your team lose in any stadium...
Went to the Brewers' game Wednesday. First time at the new park. It's an impressive facility but I didn't much care for all the advertising.
already hot in your part of the Valley?
Getting that way fast.
Supreme Commander, this morning's front and center headline, above the fold, was about the lottery being used to issue 17,000 tickets for the memorial at the Staples Center.
It looks like it's going to all Michael Jackson, all the time, in the LAT.
Afternoon, good people.
Toons, we still have a bit of a breeze, but when standing in the sun, it's evident that the temperature is going to continue to rise.
Hey Diane! Keeping cool?
It's an impressive facility but I didn't much care for all the advertising.
My FiL got to throw out the first pitch there with his Tavern League pals last year.
But advertising has been pretty obnoxious in ballparks forever.
Cubs traded away Casey McGehee to the Brewers. He has currently stuffed about five runs down their throats today.
Must feel pretty good.
I moved out to the sales floor so I can watch the Brewers.
I'm not sure I'd enjoy a game at Miller Park. Looks like an airplane hangar
Miller Park is not too bad a place to watch a ball game. Good sight lines and excellent cheap seats.
Toons, we still have a bit of a breeze, but when standing in the sun, it's evident that the temperature is going to continue to rise.
Yes. I was outside a few minutes ago. It's still quite nice in the shade, with a slight breeze. But when I stepped into the sun, it already had that flay-the-skin-off-your-bones-soon feel.
The morning sun here is like a fucking laser.
Toons, if you burn easily--and I do--it's not a day to be in the sun.
Mlle is going to the beach with her best friend. Refreshing, but I'm not eager to join 50,000 of my most intimate friends.
baseball on the 4th of July. Sounds wonderful.
Wait, I thought atrios hated america.
Just in time to see a home run! 11-2 Brewers!
I love the SARAHPAC ad on the site. It's like you pity her.
Ali, Atrios doesn't hate America. But he does hate us.

I recently endeavored to speak at one such "teabagging" event, but was assailed by leers and frequent references to that very portion of the anatomy mentioned in your earlier comment.
After the passage of a few hours, it was resolved that I had wandered into the incorrect venue. Imagine my embarrassment. Undaunted, I managed to sell one subscription to our fine publication to a gentleman dressed as a fireman, who had doffed his shirt in an apparent effort to gain succor from the heat.
It's too hot to go outside. OTOH, I hung up the washing and it dried in about 3 minutes.

That SarahPAC ad on the front page right below this is creepy, and so ironic. Reminds me of the NYT online story on Carly Fiorina stepping down from HP amidst the company's poor performance that had an HP computer ad smack dab in the middle of it.

Went to dinner last week at Little Bohemia, the real life site of the Dillinger shoot-out. It's featured in the new movie which we hope to see on Monday.
Bullet holes in the walls and windows (now under seal.)
Afternoon, Moonbats. Is Palin president yet?
"Dillinger" with Warren Oates in the starring role is really good. The added attraction is a young Richard Dreyfus as Baby Face Nelson. I haven't seen "Public Enemies" yet, but I do love to watch me some Johnny Depp..

Hell, Ruth. Sorry. People have simply given up looking before they back out. A car at the Safeway came out of his space at 20mph, easy - had I been going more than 1/2mph he would have gone straight into me. Had the nerve to shout at me for being in the aisle.

Just finished the book, it's a really fun read. Not just about Dillinger, either, it's about the whole interstate crime wave of '32-'34, Bonnie & Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, Barker Gang, etc.
Most amazing revelation to me was how incompetent both sides were.
Public Enemies shot 100% digitally.

There are several places around here that are hotbeds of accidents. I never believe that anybody is going to stay in their own lane for example, when I'm turning right on a red - and I can generally see when some idiot is about to do something stupid. Mostly tho, driving is incredibly risky any more. Worse here than it ever was in LA, much worse drivers.
Noblejoanie, it's very dry here, as it generally is in July. The fire department probably increases staff on holiday weekends.

Japan is considering the introduction of noise-making devices for near-silent hybrid cars following safety fears from vision-impaired pedestrians.
"Vision-impaired people feel that hybrid vehicles are dangerous", a transport ministry official told AFP.
The top-selling hybrid vehicles run almost without any sound when they change from fuel to battery mode.
The ministry of transport has brought together a panel that will draw up a report by the end of the year.
The panel is considering forcing manufacturers of hybrid cars to introduce a sound-making function that alerts passersby to the presence of a vehicle.

Rubber suits, drag costumes and knee-high boots were the order of the day as central London was awash with colour during the annual Pride celebrations.
The parade, celebrating gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender culture, brought the West End to a standstill.
Up to 500,000 marchers gathered in Trafalgar Square for a party with live music and dancing.
Protests by right-wing and church groups against the promotion of homosexuality failed to damped spirits.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown had met organisers at Downing Street ahead of the march.
Among the equalities campaigners who attended the garden party at Number 10 was festival patron and comic Rhona Cameron, who led the parade.

A drag queen, wearing a dress made from plastic sheeting and used drink cans, also caused a stir - and lots of noise - when she walked past.
Perhaps the noisiest participants were the representatives from the London emergency services who marched as sirens sounded from a fire engine and an ambulance.
There were big crowds at Piccadilly Circus, where a man dressed in knee-high boots, pants and a Native American feather head-dress danced beneath the statue of Eros.
A small, peaceful group of National Front protesters held banners saying "stop the promotion of homosexuality" from behind a barrier at the bottom or Regent Street.
Two men were cheered by crowds as they kissed in front of the protesters, who did not react.
Another group of around 30 protesters preached through a loudspeaker and held signs saying homosexuality was against God's wishes.
Thousands of people gathered in Trafalgar Square, where former M People vocalist Heather Small was cheered as she took to the stage to sing Proud.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown could face a fresh backbench revolt over his 2007 decision to scrap the 10p bottom rate of income tax.
A group of Labour MPs - led by Frank Field and Greg Pope - are threatening to block this year's entire Budget in a vote in the Commons on Tuesday.
They say their amendment is also being supported by Tory leader David Cameron and the Liberal Democrats.
Rebels say millions of people on low incomes are worse off since the change.
The decision to abolish the 10% starter rate of income tax was included in Gordon Brown's last Budget as Chancellor.
It came into force in April last year - alongside a reduction in the basic rate of tax from 22% to 20%.
The government headed off an earlier revolt last year - by promising compensation for those who lost out by the decision to scrap the lowest tax band, including larger personal tax allowances.
But the rebels say that at least 1.3 million people are still worse off by more than £1 a week, with more out of pocket by less than £1 a week.

INSIDE WASHINGTON: Items missing from Archives
WASHINGTON (AP) - National Archives visitors know they'll find the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights in the main building's magnificent rotunda in Washington. But they won't find the patent file for the Wright Brothers' Flying Machine or the maps for the first atomic bomb missions anywhere in the Archives inventory.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, calls it a a major national security breach. Grassley, who has demanded an accounting of all missing items, said the loss of historical documents "robs our nation of its history and is completely unacceptable."
The Archives' stewardship of the nation's records has been questioned before. In a well-publicized incident, former President Bill Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger, took documents from the Archives in the fall of 2003 while preparing, along with other ex-Clinton administration officials, for testimony to the Sept. 11 commission.

In that case, if you can part with ~$3300, you might look into the Genuine Buddy 125. It's a 4-stroke (cleaner), and can do around 60mph, but it's a champ in its class. Two-year warranty w/roadside assistance, too.

The ancient stone wall surrounding the property of the witch, Mother Goethels, had been built in a time out of memory. It was there when the city was built and would still be there when the city is destroyed. It is a permanent mark on the land. Over time the stones had become weathered and smoothed by the harsh German winters and the frequent storms of autumn and spring. In this time, the stones had lost their color and blended together. The mortar made the wall into a seamless barrier held together by magic.

i think these hours were studied in the late 70s, shrimplate, and it was found that nurses have a lot less burn out than with eight hour shifts. i think vigilance tails off a bit after ten hours, esp on the night shift. but hospitals don't do it because it costs too much on the hours overlap between days and nights.
it's been a long time, but it seems like that's what i read.

At some point, liberal groups, and their liberal constituencies, are going to realize that the president has a habit of asking much and giving little in return. The blogs learned it during the election, when they busted their butts for this president and have since been treated like dirt. The gays have now learned it. The immigration groups are starting to learn it, as are the health care reform groups. I understand some women's groups aren't real happy (as if anyone thinks Obama, who is beginning to seem genetically incapable of fighting for anything "controversial," is going to defend abortion). And now it's MoveOn, again.

what's up with this/
By Ceci Connolly
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, July 4, 2009
President Obama, strategizing yesterday with congressional leaders about health-care reform, complained that liberal advocacy groups ought to drop their attacks on Democratic lawmakers and devote their energy to promoting passage of comprehensive legislation.
In a pre-holiday call with half a dozen top House and Senate Democrats, Obama expressed his concern over advertisements and online campaigns targeting moderate Democrats, whom they criticize for not being fully devoted to "true" health-care reform.
"We shouldn't be focusing resources on each other," Obama opined in the call, according to three sources who participated in or listened to the conversation. "We ought to be focused on winning this debate."
Specifically, Obama said he is hoping left-leaning organizations that worked on his behalf in the presidential campaign will now rally support for "advancing legislation" that fulfills his goal of expanding coverage, controlling rising costs and modernizing the health system.
Whoops - no.
It's "The Masks" on Twilight Zone.

Obama is a classic incrementalist. This is why he pisses off those so impatient for large, sweeping change.
I don't like Independence Day either but it seems like a natural for a sci-fi channel on July 4th...

I have to admit that I am a little pissed but he has only been President for 5 months and he actually stands a chance at passing groundbreaking health legislation.
Will wait patiently but will gladly work for a more progressive replacement if he disappoints.

We had the traditional neighborhood beach party today. More kids, somewhat fewer adults, but it was fun until the north wind blew up and the temp dropped 20 degrees.
We had a really good magician come and do a show. He change an ace of spades (that I picked from a deck) into a 2 of clubs while I was holding it in my hand, without him apparently coming near it. No idea whatsoever how he did it.
And Tom Brady still lives......
Echidne, the Catholic health care system has entirely too much clout. A plurality of hospitals in the L.A. area are operated by it, and too often, it gets in the way of proper care for its users.
Truman: Was nothing real?
Palin: You Betcha!!!!
Prop 13 was the original sin.
West Suburban Hospital (Oak Park, IL) was purchased by a Catholic network and they have since stopped offering birth control services.
Gromit, sounds like fun. Mlle is at the beach with her best friend, and Monsieur and I are just being totally lazy. Most places we visit normally (museums, gardens, etc.) are just too jam packed on the 4th.

For California's own good any bailout should involve repealing that piece of trash.
Hey honey, want to go to a restaurant downtown tonight?
Be sure to thank the President and Congress. This week, with news of some 467,000 jobs lost in June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the U.S. has now lost about two million jobs since the economic stimulus package passed. Even more notable is that the average workweek has been slashed to 33 hours - the lowest number on record. When the President signed his $787 billion stimulus package into law, he confidently asserted that unemployment would not exceed eight percent. If Congress hadn’t passed it, he warned, it would rise to nine percent by 2010. Well, unemployment reached 9.5 percent last month, meaning, by the President’s own logic, that his stimulus package has failed.
I'm starting to think this may be more important than Sarah Palin.
devopsych, I'd argue it was the Progressives a century earlier with their idiotic 2/3 majority requirement. Prop 13 seems like a natural, if grotesque, outcome of that.
Obama is a classic incrementalist. This is why he pisses off those so impatient for large, sweeping change.

No. That is bullshit. Obama has shit on EVERY one in this country with his bullshit policies of late.
Certainly he is better than a Republican but feeding the banksters, screwing the auto workers, telling Civil Libertarians to go to the hell and the rest is simply bullshit.
I never expected him to be a "Liberal" but I did not expect him to be in the hands of the fucking corporatists to this extent either: time to call him on this.

Well, EXACTLY how much proof do you need that Obama throws his lot with the corporations?
No, I won't be quiet and neither should anyone else. We are fighting for something very important and so far we have been ignored: until now, now we have been told to STFU.
Well, I am sending money to MoveOn and asking them to double their efforts.
We NEED a realignment in this country.
Now.
"Never eat spinach with a stranger."
Look both ways before brushing your teeth.
"Obama wants liberal groups (read: MoveOn) to stop pushing Dems to support public option
Liberal groups, such as MoveOn and SEIU, and liberal bloggers (such as Jane Hamsher and our own Joe Sudbay) have been pressuring Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu to support the public option in health care reform (i.e., some kind of public health insurance plan). Landrieu has been adamantly opposed to anything resembling a public option. So groups like MoveOn have been running ads against her.
Well, our president will have none of that, He want us all to stop trying to get Landrieu to support a public option. Specifically, he wants them to stop running this ad."

Never eat spinach with a stranger, the Highland Appliance ad.
Obama was rather clear in his campaign that he wasn't a hard-core liberal. I learned to accept that.
He knows what happened to the party when Clinton pushed too hard, too fast. That led to 14 years of a serious hard-right government.
Like it or not, he's going to be an incrementalist, and part of it is because Democrats in Congress are relatively conservative.
It's an uphill battle at this point, despite having control.
I have to admit watching Anderson Cooper and company trying to translate Palin was somewhat amusing.
"Always wait an hour before getting into a car with a stranger."

Obama is just saying that shit for the benefit of the Village. He knows we'll keep attacking the holdouts.
matt taibbi wants to wish you a happy fourth of july:
It's not always easy to accept the reality of what we now routinely allow these people [the banksters] to get away with; there's a kind of collective denial that kicks in when a country goes through what America has gone through lately, when a people lose as much prestige and status as we have in the past few years. You can't really register the fact that you're no longer a citizen of a thriving first-world democracy, that you're no longer above getting robbed in broad daylight, because like an amputee, you can still sort of feel things that are no longer there.cheers.
But this is it. This is the world we live in now. And in this world, some of us have to play by the rules, while others get a note from the principal excusing them from homework till the end of time, plus 10 billion free dollars in a paper bag to buy lunch. It's a gangster state, running on gangster economics, and even prices can't be trusted anymore; there are hidden taxes in every buck you pay. And maybe we can't stop it, but we should at least know where it's all going.

"bullshit. Doesn't the term triangulating ring a bell? Clinton hard left. Hah!"
Clinton did four main and fairly radical things his first 2 years - pushed for nationalized health care and a substantial BTU tax, raised taxes to reduce the deficit, and addressed the role of gays in the military.
The party got trounced because of this in the '94 elections.
I didn't say Clinton was "hard left." And the triangulation strategy was both good and bad.
Here's an example of the counterproductivity I mean - Franken got hit hard by people on his LEFT, which fed into narratives about his supposed "porn writing" and such, and because of that, it seeded a tremendous amount of doubt among independents and conservative Democrats. Without that, he would have trounced Coleman on election day.
Pukes don't have the numbers, but they have solidarity, money, and the media. And they still pretty much get their way.
