Saturday: 2 US Soldiers, 143 Iraqis Killed, 230 Wounded

Updated at 2:35 p.m. EDT, Mar. 29, 2008

At least 143 Iraqis were killed and 230 were wounded across Iraq. These casualty figures may include updated numbers from previous days of fighting in the Mahdi Army clashes. Still, a significant number of people were killed or injured since yesterday, including a several PKK separatists near the Turkish border. Two American soldiers were killed during an IED attack in Baghdad this afternoon.

An official death tally for clashes in eastern Baghdad, including Sadr City, now stands at 133 dead and 647 wounded. This ups the figures from yesterday by 40 dead and 196 wounded, but exact figures difficult to determine as different groups give their own estimates. Also, 40 policemen have refused to fight their "brothers" in the Mahdi Army and handed over their weapons.


GravatarBushie doesn't believe in condoms, but I think he's fucked:

GravatarBAGHDAD - After failing to break the resistance of Shiite militias in the five-day siege of oil rich Basra, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki sent a top general to hold talks with his Shiite rival, Muqtada al Sadr, Saturday night only to be rebuffed by the firebrand cleric, an Iraqi official close to the negotiations said.

GravatarImagine if you were on your 3rd tour of Iraq, and you watch Maliki attack Sadr and draw your unit into the fight. Your ass is now in the middle of a civil war that Maliki started.

I would not be amused in that situation.


GravatarI'm sure the US has this on tape. And wouldn't it be amazing to hear?

The circumstances in which the negotiations with Sadr took place suggested the government is no longer able to dictate the terms of an agreement with Sadr but now must seek a deal. General Hussein al Assadi, a Baghdad-based commander, traveled to Najaf to call on the head of Sadr's political bureau there, Lewaa Smaisam. From his office, the two men telephoned Sadr, who is believed to be in Iran, where he is studying religion. But they could not reach agreement, an official close to the negotiations said. He would not give his name due to the sensitivity of the subject.

AC130 gunships on a civilian population.

The U.S. military intensified its air strikes in Basra, targeting a truck carrying of gunmen and a private home, killing eight and injuring seven, including two passing civilians, in the Mahdi Army stronghold of al Hayaniyah. Later, U.S. aircraft struck twice more, in one case destroying a Shiite mosque with a U.S. missile. The U.S. military confirmed that 17 people were killed and 22 were injured in air strikes in the city with AC130 gunships and other fixed winged aircraft.

Gravatar
From his office, the two men telephoned Sadr, who is believed to be in Iran, where he is studying religion.

I am very skeptical every time it's claimed that al Sadr is "in Iran" doing whatever, particularly at times like now when there is Something Major Going On.

This whole war is between those like him, who stayed in country organizing and resisting during the Sadaam years, and the Exiles who booked off to safer places (Chalabi being the prime putrid example) to drink tea in safety in the afternoon, swill booze with impunity at night, and cook up deals to sell phony intelligence to Western intelligence services.

As usual when we get involved in other people's civil wars, we're fighting on the wrong side. We want our pet exiles, Malaki et al, to run things on our behalf. The real Iraqi nationalists like Sadr are going to win in the end though, just like Ho did in Nam.


GravatarDon't feel bad. I'm still grokking on the fact that simels pronounces his name with a short i.

Really? I had it as a long I in my brain all these years. I've gone thru almost a half century of people mispronouncing my name so often, that I just say fuck it, whatever.


GravatarAlways keep this in mind as the US propaganda blitz begins on this latest violence.

Al Sadr is the most popular figure in Iraq because he wants to basically nationalize the oil. He also wants to expel all foreigners and foreign influence, even Iranian.

Those are the reasons the Bush administration and its puppet regime are attempting to smash his movement now.

Same story, different channel.

It's sick. It could have been any Republican woman being made a mockery of in the exact same monologue, but change her name. It had nothing to do with Anne Coulter as a person.

I'll only respond once, since there appear to be a number of naive newbies around who do not know your past. And by that, I mean your history of trivializing the death and destruction of the Iraq clusterfuck, and your mockery of those who have tried to do something about it.

GravatarAllen Ginsburg's 'The Lion for Real':

I came home and found a lion in my living room
Rushed out on the fire escape screaming Lion! Lion!
Two stenographers pulled their brunnette hair and banged the window shut
I hurried home to Paterson and stayed two days

Called up old Reichian analyst
who'd kicked me out of therapy for smoking marijuana
'It's happened' I panted 'There's a Lion in my living room'
'I'm afraid any discussion would have no value' he hung up

I went to my old boyfriend we got drunk with his girlfriend
I kissed him and announced I had a lion with a mad gleam in my eye
We wound up fighting on the floor I bit his eyebrow & he kicked me out
I ended up masturbating in his jeep parked in the street moaning 'Lion.'

GravatarMovie review of Stop Loss

Does this standard issue, volunteer army uniform come in a stop-loss one size fits all?


GravatarRecent findings indicate that it is not only how far the food has traveled but how it has traveled that is important to consider. The positive environmental effects of specialist organic farming may be offset by increased transportation, unless it is produced by local farms. But even then the logistics and effects on other local traffic may play a big role. Also, many trips by personal cars to shopping centers would have a negative environmental impact compared to a few truck loads to neighborhood stores that can be easily accessed by walking or cycling. A flavorer endeavors to eat food from within a "food shed" having a radius of 100 miles.


GravatarButler trying to play the feminist.



Wonder if he's aware that Coulter doesn't believe women should be permitted to vote because they tend to vote Democratic.


GravatarFound Joey my novelist friend and roared at him 'Lion!'
He looked at me interested and read me his spontaneous ignu high poetries
I listened for lions all I heard was Elephant Tiglon Hippogriff Unicorn
Ants
But figured he really understood me when we made it in Ignaz Wisdom's
bathroom.

But next day he sent me a leaf from his Smoky Mountain retreat
'I love you little Bo-Bo with your delicate golden lions
But there being no Self and No Bars therefore the Zoo of your dear Father
hath no lion
You said your mother was mad don't expect me to produce the Monster for
your Bridegroom.'

GravatarConfused dazed and exalted bethought me of real lion starved in his stink
in Harlem
Opened the door the room was filled with the bomb blast of his anger
He roaring hungrily at the plaster walls but nobody could hear outside thru
the window
My eye caught the edge of the red neighbor apartment building standing in
deafening stillness
We gazed at each other his implacable yellow eye in the red halo of fur
Waxed rhuemy on my own but he stopped roaring and bared a fang greeting.
I turned my back and cooked broccoli for supper on an iron gas stove
Boilt water and took a hot bath in the old tub under the sink board.

He didn't eat me, tho I regretted him starving in my presence.
Next week he wasted away a sick rug full of bones wheaten hair falling out
enraged and reddening eye as he lay aching huge hairy head on his paws
by the egg-crate bookcase filled up with thin volumes of Plato, & Buddha.

(more)


GravatarSat by his side every night averting my eyes from his hungry motheaten face
stopped eating myself he got weaker and roared at night while I had
nightmares
Eaten by lion in bookstore on Cosmic Campus, a lion myself starved by
Professor Kandisky, dying in a lion's flophouse circus,
I woke up mornings the lion still added dying on the floor -- 'Terrible
Presence!' I cried 'Eat me or die!'

(more)


GravatarIt got up that afternoon -- walked to the door with its paw on the wall to
steady its trembling body
Let out a soul-rending creak from the bottomless roof of his mouth
thundering from my floor to heaven heavier than a volcano at night in Mexico
Pushed the door open and said in a gravelly voice "Not this time Baby --
but I will be back again."

Lion that eats my mind now for a decade knowing only your hunger
Not the bliss of your satisfaction O roar of the universe how am I chosen
In this life I have heard your promise I am ready to die I have served
Your starved and ancient Presence O Lord I wait in my room at your
Mercy.

-- Allen Ginsberg

GravatarIf every US citizen who ever cast a vote for George W. Bush isn't horrified in shame right now, then shame isn't an emotion they are capable of experiencing.

Well, what the hell - Bush has no shame.


GravatarIf every US citizen who ever cast a vote for George W. Bush isn't horrified in shame right now, then shame isn't an emotion they are capable of experiencing.

Well, to be honest, Diebold machines don't have feelings.


Gravatar"New CDC data showing a 48% higher incidence of new HIV/AIDS diagnoses in 2006 compared with 2005 are just the latest piece of bad news about the sexual health of the American people," said Marjorie J. Hill, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC).

"While there are seven additional states reporting in 2006, this does not account for the 48% jump in new diagnoses. These devastating numbers reinforce what we have known for quite some time: that HIV prevention is under-funded and hamstrung by ideological restrictions that force us to fight this epidemic with one hand tied behind our back."

48%

GravatarHA: yup. 'Abstinence' as a strategy isn't just a matter of ideology. It's quite literally killing people. And, unless you're a hundred percent sure that the person you're making love to has never made love to a person who's made love to a person who's made love to a person who made love to a single person who ever had unprotected sex, or used a needle unwisely, or had a blood transfusion that slipped under the wire, it affects you, too.

GravatarTerry C: this is one of the few things in which Bush is actually second worst. Reagan, in ignoring, belittling and marginalizing HIV/AIDS, gave one of history's catastrophic, pusillanimous responses to a crisis. Bush is actually spending fair amounts of money in Africa on HIV.

I do stand by what I said, that the 'abstinence' crap is demonstrably useless, a waste of money and actually killing people.

Nope. Actually Suzie Mandrake from Suburban Guerilla and Eric Bohlert from MM, and some others I'm forgetting, gave great riffs on why Dems should stop beating up on other (aka Hillary) Dems. Ted Rall was a bit of a dick about why won't she drop out, but he was all alone. Rude Pundit said that he was going to slag on Hil but Suzie convinced him that we need unity, so he did his Coulter piece instead.

GravatarAtrios, you should enjoy this. The wonderful Mr Kagan weighs in (I wonder if he's giving the Brits a red sticker?):

Mr Kagan, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute think-tank, told The Sunday Telegraph: "British forces have an obligation to step up when needed and it sure looks here like they're needed.

"It is rather a watershed moment in the Anglo-American alliance. I understand that your Prime Minister has already said that the special relationship is over. There's an issue here of fulfilling your obligations as an ally, freely undertaken."

egg-xacly. This isn't exactly the Sepoy Mutiny, where a group of one's allies is beset by a sudden uprising and surrounded and in desperate straights. This is--what the Americans are doing--is fighting from the outside in, against dug-in forces who know the territory and have the advantage of interior lines.

iow our forces could withdraw any time they wanted by, like, turning around and going the other direction. They don't need "rescuing". If they did I suspect the British response would be different. As it is, throwing in on the side of the attackers (us), wouldn't make that much difference militarily and would probably achieve nothing but getting the current Brit government thrown out of office.

GravatarWaPo has an interview with Hillary Clinton in tomorrow's paer in which she says she is absolutely determined to take her nomination fight all the way to Denver. WaPo says part of her strategy is her hope that she will jump ahead of Obama in the popular vote count. WaPo says key to this strategy will be having the vote totals from Florida and Michigan added to her popular vote total.

So, even though Obama wasn't on the ballot in Michigan, she stil wants to count the Michigan popular vote totals in her column to make her argument.

Is that true, or is that the WaPo's interpretation? Does anyone know? Is this really her intent?

JMM seems to think the WaPo interview with Hillary is a really big deal.

u suk loosere


GravatarI agree with Mark Evanier: greatest use of Shockwave EVER!

Hah!!!


GravatarOn that note, I'm heading out to the bar. Peace.


GravatarSo how do we deal with al-Sadr now? We gave him huge bucks to pretend Pleasantville, and now he's getting antsy.


Gravatarsinfonian & gummo & mimi r here in this hotel room right nao


GravatarBye, phila.


GravatarIt's also amazing how much I've internalized their bullshit, too.

It's not like you contribute anything of value to society to deserve health care. Besides, if you lived a more virtuous life you wouldn't need it anyway.


Gravatari'm not zap but Todd is waving around Coulter's scaly cock


Gravatarsinfonian & gummo & mimi

You had me until that last one....


GravatarCoulter's Scaly Cock - good band name, or no?


GravatarTodd is waving around Coulter's scaly cock...

Put that thing down! You don't know WHERE it's been!!!


GravatarI wouldn't copulate Ann Coulter with Ann Coulter's penis.


GravatarBang bang Coulter's scaly cock came down upon their heads....


GravatarI'm sitting next to Todd right now and he is fondling Coulter's scaly cock against a statue of Ben Franklin.


GravatarZap-stealer, show us a picture and we'll believe you.


GravatarBang bang Coulter's scaly cock came down upon their heads...

Man, Lennon HATED that song!


GravatarAlso via Evanier: a great big story on Bob and Ray!


GravatarZap was quizzical, studied metaphysical penii at the bar....


GravatarI'm sitting next to Todd right now and he is fondling Coulter's scaly cock against a statue of Ben Franklin.

Thus spake whichever Greek God who was cool.


GravatarTodd just got arrested for rubbing his penis against the Liberty Bell

I'm not Todd I'm his lawyer - please send bail $$$$$


GravatarActually, the real problem the bar had with the dildo was that they would only take tips.


GravatarFuck, you well meaning genius idiots -let it go ... there is no UC college professor with a 20-30 something domestically abused but methamphetamine addicted daughter who has an infant child that must be saved (that could be found out - idiots) ... however. Only with well-wishes and platitudes but NEVER contact or MEETINGS with the Childs next kin if it is real will ever help ...


GravatarIf Zap Rowsdower is NTodd's trial attorney, I think we have a good case on appeal.


GravatarPlease do not feed the fuckwad troll.

TIA.

Gravatar10-4, Negatory.


Gravatar10-4, Negatory.

The problem is that if you're a band you'd want people to want to see you.


Gravatarno more american idol

You have no soul whatsoever. Congratulations.

GravatarI mean, what would the reviews say? "Coulter's Scaly cock burned through a hard-pounding yet ultimately infectious set last night...."


Gravatarholy shit i'm culture of truth and i just found out Zap and I r related!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GravatarThe problem is that if you're a band you'd want people to want to see you.

And you don't think the name Coulter's Scaly Cock would draw a huge audience?

I can't imagine why.


GravatarCoT: Dude, why do you look so familiar?
Zap: You're not heavy, you're my brother!


GravatarUltimately infectious! ROFL!

You're on a roll tonight.


GravatarWhat if they were more of a jazz ensemble? "Hey man, Coulter's Scaly Cock was really swinging last night!"


GravatarJeffCo r u so fucking funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GravatarActually, the real problem the bar had with the dildo was that they would only take tips.
JeffCO

How the hell did I miss the dildo incident - I was in the bar...


GravatarCoulter's Scaly Cock played a flaccid and ultimately unsatisfying set last night..


GravatarYou're on a roll tonight.

As is true of all Atriots, in person I am simply delightful.


GravatarOMG...this is too funny.


Gravatar"Coulter's Scaly Cock was raked over the coals by the critics".


GravatarQ: “What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy.”

Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”

Q: “I mean, I think you’d probably agree it probably does help stop it?”

Mr. McCain: (Laughs) “Are we on the Straight Talk express? I’m not informed enough on it. Let me find out. You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was. Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception – I’m sure I’m opposed to government spending on it, I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it.”

Q: “But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Would you say: ‘No, we’re not going to distribute them,’ knowing that?”

Mr. McCain: (Twelve-second pause) “Get me Coburn’s thing, ask Weaver to get me Coburn’s paper that he just gave me in the last couple of days. I’ve never gotten into these issues before.”

This went on for a few more moments until a reporter from the Chicago Tribune broke in and asked Mr. McCain about the weight of a pig that he saw at the Iowa State Fair last year.

GravatarHow the hell did I miss the dildo incident - I was in the bar...

Were you there when the lights came up and security encouraged everyone to go to Zap's room?


GravatarHe's such a maverick, that wheresmycane.


Gravatargimmeabreak, were you AT the bar, or UNDER the bar?


GravatarQuentin - awesome!!!!

-CoT


GravatarWere you there when the lights came up and security encouraged everyone to go to Zap's room?
JeffCO

I may have been out smoking....sorry I missed that. I did wonder why security was there


GravatarVenerable rockers Coulter's Scaly Cock (opening for Oily Discharge) turned in an unsatisfying performance lasting only 5 minutes before power problems forced them to withdraw.


GravatarNational security directive 427-B subssection 2287-4: No dildos within 500 yards of a city hall. See also subsection 2217 - 2: All nipple rings must be removed prior to boarding an airplane with the limits of US airspace.


GravatarI may have been out smoking....sorry I missed that.

Yet another reason it's bad for you!


GravatarOn that note, JeffCo - I'm off to pass out. Have a wonderful brunch y'all!


GravatarGood night, 23 visitors online.

I'm off to sweet dreams of Coulter's Scaly cock coming on stage through the back door. Or something equally awful.


GravatarOK...I'm back.

I'm happy to have CoT hijack my computer.


GravatarI should go too if I hope to be awake for brunch. G'night lovely Atriots and lurkers all.


GravatarNo, please, stop, really... you'll turn my furry head.

so.


GravatarZOMG...V4V is the freekin' bomb!!

Gravatar"Thomas Beatie lives in a former logging city in Oregon with his wife, Nancy Roberts. He has a beard and he has a bulge in his stomach that isn't a beer belly. Beatie, it is claimed, is five months' pregnant and the story has caused a worldwide frenzy.
Beatie, 34, is a transgender man, or 'trans man'. ...

"'How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am,' he writes." ...

"Beatie writes of the prejudice they have already experienced - from doctors telling him to shave off his beard and refusing to address him 'by a male pronoun' to refusing to treat him. Lucker spots triumph in this adversity. 'Generally speaking, a man whose desire for a child is strong enough to overcome the obstacles that transgender men must face in bearing one is likely to be an extremely caring father.'"

Suck on that, Santorum.


GravatarI keep clicking on the ads for Tracey Ullman's new Showtime series. It looks pretty funny. It almost makes me wish I had Showtime. Almost.


GravatarMaureen Dowd helped put George W. Bush in the White House.


"... Dowd herself, while now praising Gore for being "prescient" on such issues, relentlessly mocked Gore during his 2000 presidential campaign and onward for what she described as Gore's "obsessions about global warming and the information highway." Dowd has also compared Gore to the "wackadoo wing of the Democratic Party" for his criticism of the Iraq war; and has repeatedly furthered numerous falsehoods about Gore, such as that Gore once claimed to have "invented the Internet;" and, as Somerby noted on his Daily Howler weblog, that feminist author Wolf advised Gore on his wardrobe and how to be an "alpha male."


http://mediamatters.org/items/20...ms/ 200703010001

I read her column today, she's slamming both Hillary and Obama in her sick, snarky way. Maureen Dowd is way too cool to have hope for the United States. In that way she's like all of the MSM assholes who love McCain because he's cool and cynical like they are.


GravatarYes, I'm aware of Dowd's history. When one needs something to read in the wee hours of Sunday, however....


Gravatar"But politically and culturally we’re not in the 1980s — or pre-YouTube 2004 — anymore. An unending war abroad is upstaging the old domestic racial ghosts. A new bottom-up media culture is challenging any candidate’s control of a message."

From the Frank Rich piece, at the end. That's nice.


GravatarSorry Plantsman, didn't mean to criticize your post, I read Maureen Dowd too and sometimes can't help but chuckle at her snark.

But I read her now with much more of a jaundiced eye. I think the George W. Bush debacle has changed us all (progressives, that is), removed the humor from politics for a long, long time. I'll laugh but the laughter always has a bitter or fatalistic edge to it, and I'm always asking how a political joke has the potential to do real harm. Yeah, I guess Al Gore's "stiffness" was kind of funny, I laughed at it too. But in 99-2000 all of those little cuts on Gore added up, and helped put Bush in the White House. So I'm much more leery of political humor now, even as I try to laugh to keep from losing my mind these days.


GravatarFrank Rich is another of the Times' cavalier snark-meisters who relentlessly trashed Gore in 1999-2000 and helped put GW Bush in the White House. Somerby has the brief on him, and it's not pretty.


GravatarMy, what an astute critic of all things you are.


GravatarSomerby has fallen off the wagon himself a few times, in my estimation. I do not worship the Clintons, so I don't find accurate take-downs of them offensive; and Rich today was just that, imo.


GravatarOh, shit it's five in the am. I blame Zap and NTodd


GravatarI agree with you on Somerby being over the top on defending the Clintons, lately he has been really off the mark. I'm going over to the Times to read Rich's column today, see what it's about. Rich was an asshole to Al Gore, that's for sure, but he can be good on occasion.


GravatarEGN, you got a nice round of applause in the media panel here today.

That's true, everyone said they didn't know who ju were, but they totally loved ju.


GravatarHecate, you still having insomnia?


GravatarSarah


I am totally blaming it on NTodd. I was about to go to bed hours ago when he and Zap forced me to go to a party in their room. It's all their fault.


GravatarHecate, nothing worse than being forced to go to a party...especially with good company A terrible trial!!

What a pair to draw to, eh?


GravatarI am totally blaming it on NTodd. I was about to go to bed hours ago when he and Zap forced me to go to a party in their room. It's all their fault

I'm sorry, Hecate.


GravatarBarndog,

It's all their fault. I'm a very sensible girl, really. Left to my own devices, I'd never have gone to that den of iniquity and drunk that evil hooch. Ever.

Now, I love you Moonbats, but I have to try and get some sleep. May you wake up tomorrow as rude and angry as we all are/were today. May you meet your ancestors in the Summerlands with a tale upon your tongue about how you rioted in the streets if they try to steal the next election. May you always have lovely liberal friends,


Gravatar'night, Hecate - sleep well, keep fighting the good fight!


GravatarżAnybody @ Eschacon or not @ Eschacon wanna geeve their take on Modo's latest maunderings?

Despite Bill Clinton’s saying it was “a bunch of bull” that his wife should drop out, Democrats are trying to sneak up on Hillary, throw a burlap sack over her head, carry her off the field and stick her in a Saddam spider hole until after the Denver convention.

Mira, the way to understand Dowd's crrrap ees to replace her words: "Democrats are trying to" weeth the words "I wish the Democrats would".

GravatarHey SD How-are-you-doing?


GravatarI've been working for about 14 days straight. I'm tired but somewhat satisfied. I got some things accomplished, and some things that are not yet accomplished, on their way.


GravatarHi Doug. Middling. I go back to work on Tuesday (April's Fool that I am). My circadian rhythm of late has been to stay up waaayyy too late and sleep in late. That must come to screeching halt, of course. How are you?


GravatarHecate, Runnymeade Conspirator

Gravatarwow, Doug - is that your company??
Congratulations!!


GravatarA final example of what it's really like at a weird, liberal blogsphere event. No, really.


GravatarDoug, I've got to get to bed myself. I promised self I'd be down before 3AM Pacific time...and I may just make it (barely). You sound good - ! Hope all continues well for you.
Best,
SD


Gravatar the witch just wont die.

Or, you could bite me. By which, as simels would say, I mean, again.


GravatarNaw, I'm just a QA geek these days, with the concern of production control, monitoring, measurement and stats.
It's tricky to work composite honeycomb.

You can not sell high end unless it really is.


GravatarHecate, the flowing sage (salvia) seeds I thought I had turned out to be another plant entirely. Maybe I could pick up some from this great nursery store, when I get a chance to drop by.

I think they have some, or...

Maybe I could get a whole plant and have it shipped to you. If it arrived live, you'd probably have better luck with it.

GravatarDoug, what if you're just really high - like I am?


GravatarMaureen Dowd lives and writes in terror that she will be accused of being hopeful or optimistic or believing in a principle that would actually help the world or help people lead better lives. So she writes her columns entirely in the ultracool ultracynical esoteric dead language known as Snarkish. A bit hard to read for mentally healthy adults, but any insecure middle school bully can handle it easily.

Her column today reveals (as it always does) how deeply sick and cynical she is. Which was the whole point of the thing. Savage Hillary Clinton, but snark on Obama as well. Show no optimism, faith, principles, concern for consequences of political snark. Just dead, lifeless, soulless snark, snarkity snark snark snarkilating snarkifying snarkish snarksnark.


GravatarBarndog,
I'm not high. just in an altered mental state of total exhaustion. I'm still too tired and wired to sleep, though I hope I do soon.


GravatarMaureen Dowd lives and writes in terror that she will be accused of being hopeful or optimistic or believing in a principle that would actually help the world or help people lead better lives.

That's it exactly. Sadly, many of our own contribute to this attitude. Every time somebody talks about the "kids" acting naive about their "cult", they are turning into Maureen Dowd.


GravatarI'm not high. just in an altered mental state of total exhaustion

I hate that.


GravatarHey, kids. Goofy sheets.


GravatarThink I'm going to buy tickets to see Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby (w/Kentucky Thunder) in Kalamazoo the 3rd of May.

GravatarHi peeps, I'm just driving by.

Chichimec, you have hit it right on target with MoDo.

The way I see it, some of this is deep fear of not wanting to be disappointed ever again, some of it's a deep fear of others having the power to taunt you for your disappointment, for having been wrong.
As long as she snarks on everyone, she supports no one, and therefor her insecure ass is covered.

And now I'm out for a run.
