Hmm, the page isn't loading. Did we Atrios it?
from below
to ratify any constitutional amendment you need 2/3 of the states approval. there's no way in hell either of the huckster's amendments would ever pass.
nona
I'm just afraid they'll call that requirement "quaint" like they did the Geneva Conventions, Forth Amendment, and FISA law and claim they don't really need to do that.
I can hear the arguments. That requirement was when we were only 13 States, now we're 50. It's too cumbersome and expensive. Besides, we know we all agree anyway. Just enough rubes out there to buy it.

liebniz, why the nym change?
From below:
THe next president and congress are gonna be too busy trying to stave off the economic collapse of the country to be fucking around with marriage-related Constitutional amendments.
I don't see it that way at all. A hate amendment would make it look like they were "doing something," but not actually cost any money.

Mortgage Company Exec Jumps to Death
Friday, January 18, 2008
(01-1
17:20 PST Marlton, N.J. (AP) - An executive of a collapsed subprime mortgage lender jumped to his death from a bridge Friday, shortly after his wife's body was found inside their New Jersey home, authorities said.
The deaths of Walter Buczynski, 59, and his wife, Marci, 37 — the parents of two boys — were being investigated as a murder-suicide, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.
...Walter Buczynski was a vice president of Columbia, Md.-based Fieldstone Mortgage Co., a high-flying subprime mortgage lender that made $5.5 billion in mortgage loans and employed about 1,000 people as late as 2006.
However, it has since filed for bankruptcy and now has fewer than 20 employees. The company had recently filed court papers seeking approval to pay about $1.1 million in bonuses that would be divided among Buczynski and other staffers so the company could wind down its lending operations and go out of business.
"feels like" temps of -30 in Minneapolis
I don't care who you are, that's fucking cold.
Barndog
That's the level in which the moisture of exhaled breath immediately crystallizes and falls to the ground making a barely audible tinkling sound.
Indeed it is cold! We now have snow predicted for tomorrow a.m., if it makes you feel any better.
Talked to a guy living in Winnepeg yesterday. He said -20 is a "warm" day. It regularly gets down to -40, with wind chills of outrageous things like -70 and such.
FSM protect the teen, please!
Morning, Moonbats!
It's from earlier this week, but I just saw this piece by the always-worth-reading Chris Hedges at Truthdig. The End of the Road for George W. Bush
The Gilbert and Sullivan charade of statesmanship played out by George W. Bush and his enabler, Condoleezza Rice, as they wander the Middle East is a fitting end to seven years of misrule. Despots stripped of power are transformed from monsters into buffoons. And this is the metamorphosis that is eating away at the Bush presidency.
Bush stood in Jerusalem, uncomfortable and palpably bored. He mouthed platitudes about a peace settlement that mocked the humanitarian crisis he aided and abetted in Gaza, the rapacious land grab by Israel in the West Bank and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The diminished George Bush, increasingly irrelevant at home and abroad, is fading into insignificance. A year from now one half expects to see him stand up at the next president’s inauguration and screech “I’m melting! I’m melting!” as he sinks into a puddle of slime. He will return, I expect, to his ranch, where he will be able to spend the rest of his life doing the only task for which he has shown any aptitude—cutting down brush with a chain saw.
Where'd the teen go, Molly?
Who cares if some asshole mortgage exec offs himself? But taking the wife with him just demonstrates how much of an asshole he was.
hey, when it's below 20 in N.TX., you all get to share with us. My temp guage is the neighbor's roof, today it's white. frozen tundra.

Economy is too robust for it to be a recession
Money and financial market watchers were reluctant to say the "R" word during Thursday's Tri County Economic Forecast Conference.
While talk of a recession has bounced around, economists John Mitchell of U.S. Bancorp. and Nancy Sidhu of Los Angeles Economic Development Corp. said there are too many positive signs to conclude a recession is here.
Indicators of a recession include consistent and widespread economist downturns.
"It doesn't get more exciting than this," said Mitchell, pacing the BMU floor in his usual style. "Look at all the stuff going around.
"We're in the seventh year of an upturn. The U.S. economy has been growing since 2001, even though this is the third year of a housing contraction. Credit markets are in turmoil. It's an election year. Ag's happy; you can tell by their smiles.
"It's not a recession," said Mitchell
"All the data we have says we're still growing."
Good Morning, Hecate! Any Ahkmatova about?
Shit it's going to get down to single digits here. I can haz spring soon pleaz?
oh, that's a long drive. Have you got AAA or something like that?
Columbia MD is a company town for NSA, maybe they put up a security fence or two.
Jesus, it sounded like she was leaving home or something.
Any Ahkmatova about?
Let me see what I can dig up.
She should stop by and visit ql.
Is there anybody left at the State Dept.?
If this would happen at any borg the top person would be history.
In the story it says that over 20 top diplomats have left.
Whoever the next president is has some serious repair work to do there.
What a fuck up.
When it gets really cold, make a hot toddy and slip into bed with plant pr0n.
Have you got AAA or something like that?
Yeah, but I think she'll be okay. She graduated from high school yesterday and is pretty responsible, generally.
Jesus, it sounded like she was leaving home or something.
I am nervous, I admit.
She should stop by and visit ql.

I did check the weather with her this morning.
How is she going? Down the Northeast Extension?
Well, If you never blogged about MoDo, and weren't tipsy all the time, I'm sure she'd be fine!

Good grief, Molly.
You've mothered an adult.
If she needs a bed and breakfast she's more than welcome.
She'll be home by 7pm, with any luck.
But maybe you'd better email me your phone number, just in case.
HBK,
So this guy is responsible for all of Condi's brilliant diplomatic moves?
How is she going? Down the Northeast Extension?
Mostly 476.

Any good?
A woman who owns/runs a little restaurant near my work just saw her daughter off to Morocco for some sort of study program.
It's her first road trip.

That's what's really terrifying: that I'm only a little worried.
Moon has a real crush on Johnny D; she's so excited about seeing Sweeney on her birfday!
BTW did you see Sweeney Todd?
Any good?
YES!
I see. It's either not a recession and never will be one because the economy is too robust or we have already been in a recession for the better part of a year and the robust economy is now breaking out of it, so it's pretty much over. Nothing to worry about. Thanks Wall Street. You're so awesome.

Thompson, for his part, answered with Southern-fried aplomb. "Did you ever see the movie 'Walking Tall'?" he said, referring to the 1973 action flick about Buford Pusser, a Tennessee sheriff who single-handedly rid his town of crime and corruption. "You know the ax handle that old Buford used to carry? I got me one of them. I knew Buford Pusser. His daughter gave me one of those ax handles and I still got it. I thought about it many, many times. There's a lot you can do with that."

Bush Campaigner: S. Carolina
Not All Racist "Rubes"
...you got South Carolina all wrong, Tucker Eskew, George
W. Bush's campaign spokesman in 2000, wants you to know. In
this interview shot for the forthcoming documentary
on Atwater, Boogie Man, Eskew, an Atwater protege, objects
to the idea that racist smears work there:
It's "an insult" and "unfair to suggest that a state
like South Carolina is a bunch of rubes because of our
past," he says. So why would the Bush campaign have gotten
involved in something like that? The McCain illegitimate black
baby smear was "just some crazy rumor that some one person
may have spread." And as for the impact, maybe "a few
hundred people" may have been affected -- a "few rubes."
Grandpa Buford! perfect.

I know. I thought we were screwed when the term "service economy" came into use.
I said, "oh, you got an illegal copy? He said, "oh no, no, I downloaded it."
Heh.
BTW, it's minus 13 right now. No signs of getting anywhere near zero today.

Netflix has the movies you can watch online.
I do that while sorting laundry.
We have a lot of laundry.
Right. Because "passing gas" is the work of the devil.
I keep hoping for a movie with Sean Bean that's good and he lives until the end.
Do the 2 hour Sharpe episodes count?
(Now playing in Virginia's ear: A Burger King commercial from about 20 years ago.
There's just a lot wrong with my brain.)
He didn't get killed in The Field, either, but it's still really depressing.
The Tiger tour is great. They play with them and feed them and the
tigers come right up to the glass and glare at you. I got some good
pics with my cell phone camera.
What I'm hopin'.
He didn't get killed in National Treasure.
Um, is it really important for this to be true for you?
I'm waiting on Grey Gardens, which hear is truly freaky.
"Grey Gardens" is like a train wreck. You cannot stop watching. It's really good.
And just remember while you're watching it, that Bitch Queen Sally Quinn now lives in that house.
Do the 2 hour Sharpe episodes count?

Sharpe's is two-fer... Sean Bean *and* Peter Postlethwait.

I wuz snarking on what a shitty movie it wuz, d00d.
We just got HBO on demand. Only because we just signed up for that $99 dealio that includes high-speed internet, cable TV, and phone service package. I have mixed feelings because cable TV is missing TCM & LinkTV, but it will get rid of 2 other bills we were paying.
Haven't tried it yet but they really have a good selection.
I haven't either, but I haven't been impressed by their selection. I mean, how many times can you watch The Jerk? (as much as I love that movie)
I'm kinda glad that Apple opened their rental store now. Two bucks to watch a movie on my iPod? Not bad.
I've made a career change so I can practice my love.

Mika let herself be "blessed" by Huckster?
Sheesh.
I said, "oh, you got an illegal copy? He said, "oh no, no, I downloaded it."
CoT,
Someone I know (not a teenager, so not quite sure what her fucking excuse was) told me there were no copyright violations involved in such stuff because once the shit was on the net it was "pure media."
I have no idea what she was talking about.
mogwai,
sounds like my kinda party, I'm gay.

heh - there was definitely more than 1 gay cop there...teh cops seem to attract teh gay, childhood twin brother friends who are both cops have BOTH come out and divorced their wives, and they both came out around the same time, weird that
It's not how many movies you get, it's how many you have at a time. If you're done with the two, send 'em back and the next ones will be in the mail Monday.
I'm waiting on Grey Gardens, which hear is truly freaky.

i'd like to add some of you people to my netflix buddy list. i'm not cool like the hip, facebook-scrabble-swedish pr0n people here, but i've learned about so many great movies from the queues of others. if you don't have my email let me know.
And just remember while you're watching it, that Bitch Queen Sally Quinn now lives in that house.
Does she really?
Did she keep the raccoons?
Um, is it really important for this to be true for you?

Neither, apparently, does she.
Mika let herself be "blessed" by Huckster?
Mika's been playing real nice with Joey Scars lately. It sucks. Some suit had a sit down with her or something.

RACIST!
Um, is it really important for this to be true for you?
Yegads! Nevermind. Cripes! I recently saw the sequel. Good Luck Chuck really fried my brain. And I recently saw something with Sean Bean. Totally confused the two.
Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce! Special orders don't upset us!
Damn you, V!
Mika was horrifying yesterday during the Tweety apologia segment.
So was David Schuster.
I've made a career change so I can practice my love.
Plumber?
chidyke, I don't have your email, but I'd be curious to see what you're watching.
Does she really?
Of course she does. Do you think a little homewrecker like Sally Quinn would miss an opportunity to grasp desperately at a little Bouvier glamour?
That house is the closest she can get to Camelot without someone calling the cops.
What I'm hopin'.

Oh if you've never been, make sure you stick around for play/feeding time.
Also make sure you have your camera ready to go because the tiger may only get up on his hind legs once, but it's a sight to behold.

Maybe they already did? That's the problem.
Good Luck Chuck really fried my brain.
Is that the US version of Baby Duck?
there were no copyright violations involved in such stuff because once the shit was on the net it was "pure media."
isn't there no excuse for ignorance of the law?
and what her little mind was trying to wrap itself around was the fact that the 'movie' became bit and bytes...somehow she equated THAT process with alleviating her from copyright law
Obama is the new Nadar. Except that Nadar probably didn't think Reagan did such a great job.
I don't have Netflix, cd, but if they have Amandla! you should get it. It's about the South African liberation struggle, very uplifting.

Dude, I saw that. It was beautiful, but it sort of scared the crap out of me. On its hind legs, that thing was ten feet tall. Yikes!
Why is it so hard to understand that if they really wanted to stimulate the economy, they could take their $800 a taxpayer and pay people to do some shit that needs doing: like fixing bridges and stuff?
Damn you, V!

Good Luck Chuck really fried my brain.
Preview had three strikes against it.
1. Point of trailer seemed to be showing Jessica Alba in panties.
2. Stereotypical large, sex-addicted, black woman jokes (like a Norbert trailer)
3. Dane Cook, who really demonstrates "last but not least" in reasons not to see it.

mogwai,
hands down, queer/cop parties are teh best, and most dangerous (in every sense of that word) parties out there. they may not always be fancy, but you're are always guaranteed to have a good time. my last one ended as i dragged an ex-SEAL out of a house after he got his ankle broken by two cops for doing one's sister in the closet of the host's masterbedroom. there was lots of the good kind of tequila, tho.
BTW,
Dad went home last night. A lot earlier than we thought he would.
You Deserve A Break Today
You Deserve A Break Today, so go mash a 1,200 calorie sammich down yer throat.
"$800 per person, a loaf of bread and 2 tickets to the circus" is stimulus package enough. What more do you want?
-George W Bush
mogwai, not weird at all. men who like men really do like "men." Part of the joy of watching the closet doors fling open over the past couple of decades has been that the world has discovered the stereotypes really don't fit. We come in all flavors. Hope the party was a real success for a couple of those guys.

Actually, South Carolina elected smart, and capable representatives to the Congress and was reasonably well governed and even enlightened until the Feds betrayed the citizens, pulled out, and allowed Klan terrorists to regain control.

Why is it so hard to understand that if they really wanted to stimulate the economy, they could take their $800 a taxpayer and pay people to do some shit that needs doing: like fixing bridges and stuff?
that would involve a government program, aka a commie-program, in the eyes of the fascists...instead, giving people cash and telling them to spend in the free market, is a free market handjob without release, for everyone
Great, Zap!

NADAR is short for NAder Detection And Ranging. And someone's is malfunctioning. I'll bet they recently watched a Ryan Reynolds movie too.

Dad had his lung removed, and they said that he'd be in the hospital for a week. But, as it turned out, he was only there for three days. I think that he's pretty claustrophobic, so I'm glad that he's back in his 'comfort zone' (a dinky apartment in South Minneapolis).

About two million pilgrims today marched through the Iraqi city of Karbala in blood-soaked processions - beating their heads and chests in unison and whipping themselves with chains - to mark Ashura, one of the holiest events in the Shia Muslim calendar.
The processions were marred by violence with a deadly bombing in northern Iraq and clashes in the south involving members of a radical cult.
Shias across Iraq observed the Ashura holiday by marching, singing and beating their chests to honour the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, in 680 AD. Security was stepped up in Karbala with 30,000 policemen and soldiers deployed in the city, including reinforcements from Baghdad.
But street battles between a messianic cult, the Soldiers of Heaven, and Iraqi troops raged for a second day in two predominantly Shia southern cities. Iraqi authorities said at least 36 people were reported killed in Basra and at least 32 in Nasiriyah, including Iraqi security forces, civilians and gunmen.
Video footage broadcast on Iraqi state television showed several dead or injured men lying on bloodstained streets in Basra, where officials said the situation was under control. An Iraqi soldier held the yellow bandanna of one man, apparently signifying that he was a member of the Soldiers of Heaven.

indeed, my gran recently lost hearing in her left ear and so you have to speak very loudly so she can catch what your saying
she is still waiting to get a hearing aide but she is having trouble getting on the waiting list
yet my Gran always insists on doing things herself, she has a hard time accepting help
its gotten better these past few years but she does get a little down sometimes, the arthritis in her hands has gotten so bad she can't use a typewriter anymore so she can't write letters
plus her bones are wearing out
