Police have raided the home of US rap star DMX, finding 12 apparently neglected dogs and a number of guns.
The pit bulls terriers were not being fed or given water, and have been removed, police said. The bodies of three more had been buried.
No arrests have been made and DMX said he had not been at the property in Arizona for at least two months.

Cheney said, "I expressed myself rather forcefully, felt better after I had done it. ...that's not the kind of language I ordinarily use. But... I expressed my dissatisfaction... I informed him of my view of his conduct in no uncertain terms. And as I say, I felt better afterwards. ...I think that a lot of my colleagues felt that what I had said badly needed to be said, that it was long overdue. ...ordinarily I don't express myself in strong terms. But I thought it was appropriate here."
I'm so glad virginity isn't a state into which you can relapse... like being an unregistered voter, say.

Most people who are upset about killing dogs or letting them attack each other have at some point in their lives caught a fish, which is as extreme a form of murderous torture of an animal as I can imagine... Not only have most of them caught a fish, they have actually eaten many more of them than they've caught. Which is weirder, killing an animal or eating its dead flesh?
O'Donnel misses the point entirely. The republics will probably hire this guy to be their next O'Hanlon...

A lovely little film, with a couple of classic sequences; Jacques Tati would have approved.

My father in law died unexpectedly four weeks ago. My wife's grief is still overwhelming. I haven't seen much of her lately as she's been spending much of her time with her mom. Yesterday as we were taking a late-night walk and she was talking about how difficult the past few weeks had been and how she sometimes thought of all the sadness, loss and grief in Iraq. It's been on my mind the past few weeks, too. Our loss has made the continuing madness much less abstract.
It sickens me all the pain and suffering we allowed to be inflicted under our name because of a dumb fuck pretender's vanity and the bloody fantasies of a cadre of think tank idiots.
Well, I guess I could cruise west of here, and look for a license plate bracket. There's a Harley shop out thataways, but I bet they'd want arm+leg for such, if they even carried it.
.
i've wrestled quite a bit with the 'is fishing cruelty to fish?' dilemma, myself...
grief is still overwhelming

...hugs all around.
...but i have seen and heard a lot of this 'dog fighting isn't any different then deer hunting', which is so stupid it's a wonder people can believe it...
If betting on dogfights is no different than hunting or fishing, then blowing up buildings full of people is the same as poisoning an anthill or blowing up frogs with firecrackers.

The thing that bugs me int he comments is that of course immediately someone jumps to "Meat is Murder" and manages to obscure the issue and alienate people mostly in agreement. A not only ineffective but counterproductive strategy that is a favorite of the Naderish.
I remember where I lost my virginity, who I was with and how old I was, but not the date. Does that count?
"Death is as natural as birth."
but i don't keep them. not out of any moral reason, it's just that i don't care much for the taste of fish.
if i did kill them because i liked the taste of fish, and fishing caused them pain/torture, it would be worse to fish just for sport, imo.
catalexis: If betting on dogfights is no different than hunting or fishing, then blowing up buildings full of people is the same as poisoning an anthill or blowing up frogs with firecrackers.

O'Hanlon perpetuates one of the biggest bamboozles of all when he says his and Pollack's experience:
"...led each of us to oppose predictions of a "cakewalk" before the invasion and to join Gen. Eric Shinseki in criticizing invasion plans that had too few troops and too little thought given to the post-invasion mission."
As Tom Rick's points out in "Fiasco", the debate was "far more than a technical squabble about troop numbers." [Fiasco, p.98]. Ricks cites this article by Andrew Bacevich: "Given that the requisite additional troops simply did not exist, Shinseki was implicitly arguing that the U.S. armed services were inadequate for the enterprise...Shinseki had to be discredited then and there, lest the opportunity to validate the new American way of war be lost forever...So the normally unflappable Wolfowitz responded with uncharacteristic brusqueness, caustically dismissing the general’s estimate as “wildly off the mark.”
http://www.amconmag.com/2005_06_...6/ article1.html
O'Hanlon and Pollack had enough experience to know what Shinseki meant, and what it meant for "the new American way of war". They chose to ignore Shinseki because they desperately wanted to give war a chance.

It is a misconception that fish is a brain food.
Actually, the opposite is true. Brains are good fish food.
If you have tropical fish, try to feed them tropical brains whenever possible.
Most people who are upset about killing dogs or letting them attack each other have at some point in their lives caught a fish, which is as extreme a form of murderous torture of an animal as I can imagine... Not only have most of them caught a fish, they have actually eaten many more of them than they've caught. Which is weirder, killing an animal or eating its dead flesh?
I was wondering when we'd see white guys coming down on the side of animal cruelty. Fuckers have been hiding. They too, can go fuck themselves.
Yes, I agree that catching fish and all that is torturous to them. Maybe we should all go vegetarian. I saw a open cargo truck yesterday that had tanks of "live fish" and I couldn't help but think of the state of being those fish must be in, riding around in a tank on the back of a truck.

Rep. Brian Baird, is holding a Town Hall meeting on Monday. Now is the opportunity to express your concern about his recent comments on Iraq.
He told The Associated Press last week that we should stay in Iraq for "as long as it takes."1 Just yesterday he wrote an Op-Ed in the Seattle Times defending the White House's failed strategy in Iraq.2
Last March, Rep. Baird voted with the Democrats to force Bush to bring our troops home. Now he says he'll oppose timelines to bring our troops home from the unwinnable civil war in Iraq.

"Most people who are upset about killing dogs or letting them attack each other have at some point in their lives caught a fish, which is as extreme a form of murderous torture of an animal as I can imagine.."
see, I don't believe that catching a fish is murderous torture, but maybe I *want* to believe that.
I've caught the same fish:
1) on consecutive days,
2) within an hour or two of catching them the first time.
I was out fishing with a friend one day, hooked a fish and snapped off the fly, which my friend was able to retrieve when he caught the fish 20 minutes later.
i've only read of one study that concluded that fishing causes 'pain'. scientists injected acetic acid into the 'lips' of fish and observed their behavior(what are the ethics of injecting fish with acid, for cripesakes?)...they found the fish would grind their snouts into the gravel at the bottom of the stream, clearly distressed.

Then I said, "Did you hear about the two cannibals eating a clown and one observed, does this taste funny to you?"

There was an excellent albeit unintentional point made by Michelle Martin on the Maher clip. She asked Robbins at the very end, "Why does it have to be lying? Why can't they simply have been mistaken?" (with respect to either WMD or the nonexistent Osama-Iraq connection.) And Tim, bless his heart, was just sort of flummoxed, and said, "Well, it was an awful lot of fuck-up."
But in fact we know that it was not merely a mistake, it was deliberate lying: the forged Niger papers, the JudyJudyJudy aluminum tubes, and many other utterly false things known at the time to be false. Maher was right: the American people were suckered into this war. Not you, not me, and not the swine who have wanted this since before 2000, but those who with sincere, completely mistaken beliefs thought they were hitting back against the murderers of 9/11.
The Weekly Standard tool was rightly called out for maintaining with his last breath that there was a working relationship between Osama and Saddam. But in the end, Robbins seemed to me to have the winning line: Why are these (air quotes) experts still allowed to be called experts after they've gotten so much so wrong since forever?

That was a foregone conclusion, no?
Reminds me of some of the experimental designs my R&D folks come up with.

My son said, "Dad, you're fucking weird."

that's like saying sex is boring. there's a ton of different forms of fishing, some of which bore me to tears, and others that don't...
Re: Virginity loss.

Some people find fishing to be a boring activity.
What's wrong with that?
Okay, gotta go do stuff. Blogwhore alert: be advised that we go live on Oct 15. I'll post the very recognizable URL on or about Oct 10. Then, I suppose, WalterNeff will be no more.

what i tried to say is that if you went fishing once and baited a hook and bobber and sat for hours watching the pond and found it incredibly boring... i'd probably agree. but there are other ways to fish that one might find quite exciting.
or not.

Indeed.
Moon, I think I can see your liver from here.
We don't have ponds in Texas. We have Stock Tanks.
A lot of arguments could be saved if people would say "thus and such bores me" rather than "thus and such is boring."
Those kinds of arguments are really boring.
My point was that not everyone finds the same activities interesting.
I have friends that like needlepoint, knitting, that kind of thing.
I'd rather kill myself.
I don't think I mentioned that I've found myself unemployed as of yesterday morning.
My husband use to flyfish for trout up in the Smoky Mtn streams. He almost never caught anything, and if he did, he released it. I think it was more of a zen thing for him.

I used to knit and do needlepoint myself.
Now, I fish instead.
My new love. Would you like to hear her sexy voice?

It really is, alot of the time. But, then you hook into a salmon, or steelhead, and all thought of that shit goes out the door.
I don't understand it. Busted my ass, worked from the time I came in till the time I went home, didn't take lunch three quarters of the time but the partners, who were both on vacation, left this fat ugly schlub of an associate who no one likes to give me the "news" the minute I got in yesterday morning.
The gal in the desk next to me takes two hour lunches and comes in late every day. The receptionist is the dumbest in creation. But they tell ME that "it's not working out."
WTF?
The journalistic aristocracy doesn't take kindly to criticism.
There will still be EvilWalterNeff though, won't there?

Hey Moon -- I like your kitties...
I especially like the pix of them fighting...
A lot of arguments could be saved if people would say "thus and such bores me" rather than "thus and such is boring."
True, but it seems to me to be implied in a public forum like this. Is there really any difference between "Chimpy is colossal fuckup" and "IMO, Chimpy is a colossal fuckup?"
Oh dear, you have any prospects? Good luck.

I had interviews lined up anyway because I hated that place from the time I walked in there in March.
I only took the job because I had to.
I liked my last job, and I only lost that because the firm went under.

As proof of my sanity, I've never been ice fishing.

Oh lordy, child, you are so going to pay for that - and soon. I'm really beginning to wonder about English tastebuds - after managing to forget the horrible incident involving warm clam juice mixed with tomato juice, served as a 'cocktail'. (No, not Clamato. Warm clam juice drained off of warm clams.)
.
WTF? Terry C
That sucks. You never know whether it's something you did or didn't do, or whether it's some way for them to save money, or someone's nephew needed a job, or who knows what.

Anyhoo, the interviews I had scheduled I just moved up.
One is Monday morning at 10:00. Right down the hall from this place I just got canned at.
When I spoke to the hiring partner over there and told him what happened, he said "No wonder they can't keep anyone. Come in and see me on Monday morning. We'll see what we can do."
As proof of my sanity, I've never been ice fishing.

I'd go ice fishing in a minute if I had the opportunity.

Who is this Mimi person, and what is her relation to NTodd?

She called me and left 2 messages. If that isn't love, I don't know what is.
I thought that was annie butler?
Terry C-
Good luck. If you need a recommendation I am sure mer and I could write a *damned* good one.
Sex on the beach is a legit highball cocktail as far as I know
Ice fishing is code for getting drunk outside in winter.

May their practice fail.
Didn't you say they were wingers?
Fuck 'em.

Just a silly phase she's going through.

Nope. They are 2 different people.
Annie.
Mimi. And Mimi.
What pisses me off is that if there WAS a problem, they could have called me in and talked to me.
Nooooooooo. They got on vacation and tell this blob to do their dirty work for them.
Like I said, no one likes this guy. He talks to opposing counsel like their trash, his letters to them are condescending and insulting, and he's a slob.
He expects secretaries to be his personal slaves and none of us there would do it.
It'll come back to bite them.
This shows how important blogs are. Without blogs would this information be available to people like Tim Robbins would get on these shows? The wingnut machine has been disseminating their talking points for a long time, finally the blogosphere is an entity which can compete. Keep up the good work!

heh last christmas my sister got be a beautifully illustrated cocktail book, too pretty to use lol very much for display 
Sorry - like they're trash
Terry, you'll find something better quickly. Good luck.
I've gotten various cocktail themed pressies over the years
a set of six Martini glasses, am ice crusher, cocktail utensils, 2 cocktail shakers
May their practice fail.
Didn't you say they were wingers?
Fuck 'em.
fourlegsrgood, gots pitchfork
They're not wingers, but they're assholes.
Apparently, they like to make one person do the work of three and pay them shit.
I was the fourth person in seven months in that job. They're not going to keep anyone in that job at the rate they're going.

I usually don't have that much trouble finding another job.
I hope that's the case this time.
Mimi is a lovely expat who lives in Switzerland. Quite intelligent and has an interesting point of view. Until she melts down and starts calling everyone names. I'm a lonely old lady with no friends, Molly a sot by virtue of being Irish, and she's attacked three or four others.
Mimi doesn't want a "hard" time? What kind of a woman is she?

Didn't know that till I got in there.
I came in to a three week backlog in scheduling (which I hate doing) and a shitload of dictation tapes that were allowed to sit there for a month.
These people never heard of temps.
Bush changed everything.
No doubt, but the Nader supporters in 2000 helped enable him.
Whats her name asked Robbins why it had to be a lie not just a mistake.
Well, maybe because it was pretty fucking OBVIOUS they were lying?
I mean, I remember before the war seeing how Bush ordered the inspectors out... and the inspectors were asking to be allowed to stay in... and shortly after he ordered them out, he made a speech saying we had to invade because SADDAM wouldn't let inspectors in...
and I'm screaming at my TV set "You fucking LIAR!!!" Wondering why none of the news people pointed this out... and not believing I was watching all of this happen right before my very eyes. Watching an administration blatantly lie us into war.
And that was just one of the lies. A minor one compared to others.
Terry-
Being fired sucks.
Being fired by assholes who didn't deserve the great job you were doing for them sucks X 2.
Best of luck in landing a new (and, no doubt, way better) gig.
In fairness, he says that there should be a law, not that there is.
Republicans just can't seem to stop lying.
If Saddam Hussein had been buddy-buddy with Osama bin Laden, then why weren't there any Iraqis among the 9/11 hijackers? Why hasn't any of the money that financed the 9/11 hijackers been traced back to Iraq? Why didn't Hussein let al Qaeda terrorist recruits and trainees pass through Iraq on the their way to and from al Qaeda's terrorist training camps in Afghanistan?
No matter what Cheney's autobiographer claims, I have a hard time believing that the secular dictator, Saddam Hussein, would have had anything at all to do with a bunch of religious fundamentalist nutjobs, especially ones that wanted nothing more than to see Hussein killed so that Iraq could be turned into a shariah-hugging Islamic Republic.
Which is why the additional claim that Saddam Hussein would have given any WMD he might have still possessed to a bunch of religious killers, who wanted to kill him, does not make sense either.
So, I'm glad Tim Robbins dressed down Stephen Hayes on Friday night. Hayes was just spouting pre-Iraq War neo-con Republican talking points, based on fraudulent pre-war "intelligence" provided to the Bush administration, and Cheney, by Iraqi exiles who hated Saddam Hussein as much as leaders of al Qaeda did.
In other words, Hussein would have had as much of a "working relationship" with the Iraqi exiles as the Iraqi exiles claimed he had with al Qaeda...zilch.
I guess I must live in the same parallel universe as Mr. Robbins.
