GravatarI wonder if McCain hangs out with Roger Clemens.


GravatarWhoopsie


GravatarEven though you know it's a lie, it still has value as a partisan tool.

Shameful. Unprincipled bullshit.


Gravatarthe wheel is off the unicycle!


GravatarEgads!!


GravatarMcCain lied?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.


Gravatar"The woman was a professional. She was good. She could get us meetings."

You bet your ass she was.


GravatarCan't wait to meet you this summer when you come to Austin, Atrios.

We're gonna have us a big time.


Gravatar"The woman was a professional. She was good. She could get us meetings."

So, they're saying she gave good meeting.


GravatarMcCain attorney Robert Bennett played down the contradiction between the campaign's written answer and Paxson's recollection.

"We understood that he [McCain] did not speak directly with him [Paxson]. Now it appears he did speak to him. What is the difference?" Bennett said


GravatarAdam is lucky Vicki is out of town.

Ya know what Gomez? I think you need to quit sniffing glue.


GravatarHe met with her, before he did not meet with her.


GravatarAll the good meetings are taken.


GravatarAs emptywheel notes in her post on this story, Paxson, not the brightest of bulbs, apparently thinks that there are "thousands" of congresscritters.


GravatarMcCain expects not to be factchecked.


GravatarSee? As much as like seeing McMaverick being knocked down a peg, I wish that this would've happened, you know, when the Times got their hands on this story a few months ago.

But I'm petty like that...

So far he's absolutely right.


GravatarMcCain's a maverick, you know.


Gravatar"Was Vicki there? Probably," Paxson said in an interview with The Washington Post today. "The woman was a professional. She was good. She could get us meetings."

Meetings...that must be what the old farts called it.

Indeed. Unfortunately, it hasn't occurred to most lawyers that they are not, in fact, Jedi. But don't tell them. It's cute when they try to choke a hostile witness with the Force.


GravatarFrom the dead thread:


Watching a DVD of a 1957 Bob Hope movie called "Beau James."

A rather sanitized bio of NY mayor Jimmy Walker.

I'm not a Bob Hope fan, but he was quite good in this movie.


GravatarPeople, we're better than this! We shouldn't be stooping to Rove's level, people!! PEOPLE!!!


GravatarMeetings...that must be what the old farts called it.

"Yeah, uh, honey...I'm working late again tonight."


GravatarWe understood that he [Clinton] did not have sexual relations with that woman. Now it appears he did have sexual relations with her. What is the difference?" Bennett said

Gravatar"Broadcaster Lowell "Bud" Paxson today contradicted statements from Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign that the senator did not meet with Paxson or his lobbyist before sending two controversial letters to the Federal Communications Commission on Paxson's behalf."


This just gets better.

GravatarOh, so THAT'S what the weather forecasters have been talking about.


GravatarI'm not a Bob Hope fan, but he was quite good in this movie.

Hope made several, rather funny movies in the late 40s-early 50s.

GravatarI'll leave you with my favorite paragraph of the day, from the New York Times:

Nancy Nipples started the Pike Place Market Creamery in Seattle 30 years ago, selling milk, butter, cream and the like to help local independent dairies.

I am sure i spelled it right, and the S just attached to the bottom of "sty" which seems like it should be a word too.

GravatarFor the nightshift, I just had to repost something I wrote earlier. Please bear with me, I'm apoplectic over this:

Today, Sen. John McCain made a most obscene, outrageous statement.
He criticized Sen. Obama for saying he would sit down and talk to the new Cuban leadership, whoever it might be. McCain, and I paraphrase, said it would be a mistake to sit down with a government that has been a proponent of terror.

Today, as we speak, a man named Jose Posada Carriles walks freely, whereabouts unknown, after been briefly detained by US authorities. He had been living freely in the Miami area for years, protected by his fellow Cuban fascists.

In 1976, this man was responsible for blowing up a Cuban jetliner that killed over 70 innocent people. He worked with the CIA. The US government, including the US SENATE, in over 30years, has never labeled this man a terrorist. In fact, they have harbored him.

John McCain knows this.
John McCain is worse than a hypocrite. He is an accomplice in this cover up.

GravatarClosure:

Until Friday, the Hennepin County medical examiner's office knew Sean Rush only as case number 2003-0473.
For the past five years, investigators had tried to identify a 22-year-old who died Feb. 19, 2003, after jumping off a parking ramp at the Mall of America in Bloomington. The medical examiner's office issued a composite and several detailed news releases about the death. "Deceased is a white male with no tattoos. 5 foot 10 inches and 200 pounds," read one. "This person appears to be in his 20s or 30s and has a short mustache and beard and brown hair and eyes."

The last release was a year after his death, announcing his burial.
Three weeks after the mall suicide, Rush was reporting missing to St. Paul police. A connection wasn't made at the time because the timelines didn't appear to match, police said.

That's fucked up. Strangely enough, I always found North Philly to be much more scary than West Philly. I think it's cause I know my way around in West Philly, but North Philly is a complete maze in places.

Gravatar"I always found North Philly to be much more scary than West Philly."

the west Philly kids are scared of north philly too.

took some students to temple and I just had to stop by a housing project where i used to work. They were really scared, they said.

I went into those PJ's once after dark. why is a long story - short version is I was escorting a kid home.

scared me just a little, but I was known in that neighborhood and that makes the difference.

GravatarActually, not to minimize it in any way, but 50 stitches in the face isn't necessarily indicative of the severity of the wound itself. Because of its location, an increased number of stitches will minimize, if not eliminate, the possibility of a visible scar. Hopefully, that's the case!

Heh. I definitely remember that place from my childhood.

My favorite memory is actually from college (about 8 years ago). A bunch of us went down there and stayed at this really dumpy place called The Ebb Tide. Anyway, much drinking ensues, and we all pass out around 3-4am. The next morning, I go to take out the trash, and the Chinese lady who ran the place sees me and says, "When did you get out of the hospital?". I'm completely confused, and she goes on to say, "Yeah, you got in big fight, and got bottle broken over your head. All kinds of blood. Cops and ambulance everywhere".

For like two seconds, I'm thinking, "Oh, no, did this all happen, and I blacked out and remembered nothing?", but then I vaguely remembered waking up at some ungodly hour hearing sirens and such outside. Apparently the guy in question had a similar shirt as me, but it still took me 10 minutes to convince her that it wasn't me. At the end she says, "Ah, well you white people all look the same to me".

It was fuckin' hilarious.

Gravatardave, it depends.

When I worked in juvie, I was stabbed by a guard.  Not an inmate, a fucking guard.  I had several plastic surgeries to minimize the wound, and it was a lot of stitches.

It's why I only have one working vocal cord.

Gravataryou might be right - I hope you are, anyway.

Me, too!

My sister and I were in a small car wreck in high school. She had a cut on her forehead and I had some cuts on my hand. They called the local neurosurgeon to sew her up - he put in between 100 and 200 stitches, IIRC. You never saw a mark when they came out.

Me, they gave to the intern, who left me with a really cool Frankenstein scar between my left thumb and index finger...


Gravatarwhen ever i hear about school violence i just think, it could be worse...

Junior year, we had teh hottest, kinda Cat Woman English teacher.

Good grief I still remember her clearly, 'lo these thirty years hence.


GravatarIf the cut on the forehead went across, then the tensionin the face pulls the skin together naturally, and the scar's small and barely noticeable, regardless of how it's sewn. If it went up and down, not so; the doc might then revise it to make it lie less tense.

Lots of tension on the hand wound; the intern probably did just fine.

The suture technique isn't as important as where the wound is, how tight the stitches have to be, and how long you leave them in. And, to a lesser extent, the suture material...


Gravatar"Schools are, statistically speaking, still the safest place kids can be."

I always used to say that I got it dueling for a lady's honor, but the real story is that I had a habit of scratching my face when I was a baby, and my mother missed a corner when cutting my fingernails and I sliced myself.

Files and McCain Letter Show Effort to Keep Loophole

WASHINGTON — In late 1998, Senator John McCain sent an unusually blunt letter to the head of the Federal Communications Commission, warning that he would try to overhaul the agency if it closed a broadcast ownership loophole.

The letter, and two later ones signed by Mr. McCain, then chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, urged the commission to abandon plans to close a loophole vitally important to Glencairn Ltd., a client of Vicki Iseman, a lobbyist. The provision enabled one of the nation’s largest broadcasting companies, Sinclair, to use a marketing agreement with Glencairn, a far smaller broadcaster, to get around a restriction barring single ownership of two television stations in the same city.
...
By November 1998, the F.C.C. was planning to strike down broadcasting marketing agreements, a potentially ruinous development for Glencairn. But after receiving Mr. McCain’s Dec. 1 letter, it put off consideration of the issue.

“To the extent the F.C.C. shows itself incapable of following Congressional intent,” the letter said, “these issues will become part of our overall review of the commission’s functions and structure during the next session of Congress.”

Yep, that's how I got there. Things have gotten very, very depressing around these parts.

I just was at lunch today with T.K.

Wetherell at least seems to have the cajoens to stand up to Crist. Machen whines and complains every once in a while, then says something stupid. Maybe he thinks that endorsing McCain will get him in good with Eligible Bachelor.


GravatarTime to hit McFuck with the chair.

Amen to that.


GravatarI'm running a very blue collar shop these days. What we do requires mad skills, but the company I work for long ago hired everyone who had experience in making the kind of stuff we do. So about all they do now is to hire workers who have similar skills, and train them.

My shift, has a crazy collection of poor white boys, Mexicans, and Vietnamese. What I do as the shift supervisor, is to let pretty much anything fly. (It's not at all quiet when they are there) But insist they treat each other well, and that they concentrate on putting out excellent work. The min spec we allow is a +/- .30" of an inch tolerance, and sometimes one third of that. The other shift supervisors can not figure out how things run so well on my shift.

The simple answer?
Things are relaxed. I don't care if the boom boxes are blasting rap, country or Mexican pop, as long as they are working, and there is never any fights or injuries from horseplay.

I think they've got a lot of pride in what they do.


GravatarSounds to me like you certainly can see and hear everything going on around you.
Bill Frist

that's not good enuf, i must remain pretty.

uncle blodge, i don't think she was weird, just used to it.

i'm tell'n you every school is surrounded by 12 foot chain link with razor wire and very large security guards.

frankly, i was shocked by the whole experience, and while i know most schools are bad, i somehow doubt they are as bad as they are in miami. at least i hope not.


GravatarHi folks:

I may seem strange. But at the end of a long hard day, I wanted to come here and say hi to my friends.

I'll probably write some more about this experience. I kind of want to post the eulogy I gave for my dad, but it has lots of specific identifying info.
On the other hand I realized that having a parent die is not unique to me. Maybe I write something with a few details removed, but that makes me sad because I can't say who I really am and who my Dad was. On the other hand maybe I can write about what things we all feel. Too soon to decide. As Data would say "Processing. Processing."

So many have written nice things to me I am truly humbled by your kindness.

My dad was a wonderful man, but I feel I'm still needing to learn some lessons from him.

Friends of my father completely filled the church. His ability to connect to people and his willingness to help others was astounding.


Gravatarspocko: may your dad rest in peace, and may he look upon you and yours doing good work and being happy down here among us.


GravatarSpocko, blessings to you. Losing a parent, no matter what your age, is painful.May he rest in peace.


GravatarMay your father rest in peace, Spocko.


GravatarMcCain's a whore ... the only real difference between him & Duke Cunningham is that Duke didn't get shot down, and McCain hasn't gotten caught.

Yet.
