O Lucky Man by Alan Price is my favorite...

From below:
What's the name of the film?
Janeane
HEre's what I can find:
Maher revealed to Larry King that the documentary he filmed with Larry Charles (Borat) might be called “Religulous,” a combination of religion and ridiculous. The film follows Bill Maher’s take on the current state of world religion, which is clearly an Agnostic view. We don’t know much else, because, well - no one has seen the footage yet.

George Bush's next-eldest sibling, Robin, died of leukemia at the age of three, when he was seven years old himself. At the time she became ill, Robin was the future president's only sibling (although Jeb Bush was born before she died) and a favorite playmate. His parents never told him that she was sick, although he was asked to stop playing with her. Only after her death did they disclose to him her illness, which had lasted longer than doctors expected it to and had led the Bushes on a frantic quest back East to find a specialist who could treat her. These efforts kept them away from their son for long stretches of time, and he was not present when Robin died, nor at her burial.
*snip*
…Robin died in New York in October 1953; her parents spent the next day golfing in Rye, attending a small memorial service the following day before flying back to Texas. George learned of his sister's illness only after her death, when his parents returned to Texas, where the family remained while the child's body was buried in a Connecticut family plot. -Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of a President Justin Frank.

I actually, since I have been sort of banned from my office and the computer due to circumstances, have watched more of the television news than usual. In this experience I have noted that they are not even pretending to quality in reporting anymore, are they? The young men and women they are hiring are models first and foremost and if they can read the script, fine: but if they cannot, their looks are far more important than what they say or think.
One of Mrs DWD's co-workers went to NYC last week and came back with a reporter's autograph. Think about this for a moment. A reporter's autograph! Not on a book. Not on a column for something memorable. No, simply for being a celebrity.
And that is what it is coming down to: Tony Snow can't work for the pittance the rest of us will never see. Reporters aren't reporters, they are celebrities. It does not matter about their knowledge and experience; but the painfully thin women with emaciated faces stretched tautly across nobly high cheekbones are paramount. And the collegiate good looks of the men are equally as important. Not fat, not thin: they are every mother's son and every woman's "Everyman."
It is sickening.

Well come on, you've got to tie better flys. The ones you are using look like they came from wallmart. I tasted one, and the metallic taint of lead almost gagged me.
I think people react to grief differently, so I wouldn't use the golf playing against the Bushes. If their daughter was ill a long time much of the grieving was done before she died, I suspect. And then there is that numb period right after someone dies, too.
Not saying that what they did wasn't a problem, but I really can't tell.

Makes me think of this week's "This American Life", they opened discussing a fairly broad trend in child-rearing advice (30's and 40's, IIRC0 that was not to show too much affection to children, to avoid smothering them. Seems to me such advice would make good sense to Barbara Bush, whose own mother, apparently, made her look like the nice old gramma she looks like.
And the collegiate good looks of the men are equally as important. Not fat, not thin: they are every mother's son and every woman's "Everyman."

Yeah, but it does really show just how much they dissociate and are very emotionally detached. Would certainly explain a lot about why they don't really give a rat's ass about all the deaths and suffering in NOLA, Iraq...

Senator Larry Craig will be back. He said he is not gay and has never been gay. Some Americans --many-- take him at his word. Maybe, just maybe, he was railroaded by an overzealous cop who wanted to nail a U. S Senator's scalp to his wall. The haters will never accept that though.

Echidne, I'd agree with that. But...why hadn't they told him she was ill? Why had he not been allowed to be with her? Was she closeted away?
And, the next day, yes, it;s fine that they played golf, but they should have spent that time with George and whatever other kids they had at that time (if any). You can't, as an adult, leave a kid alone at that point.
Back then, it wasn't uncommon for child raising theory to eschew much emotional display or support because you'd make fags out of your lads, or smother 'em and make 'em weaklings (same thing, sort of). Simultaneously, there was the stay at home mom, whose highest calling was making a family/home and 'togetherness'.

All this is true. But I think Wombat is right in pointing out some different ideas about what is good for children those days. For instance, my mother was never taken to a funeral when she was a child because they were deemed as too upsetting for children. So people just disappeared from her life and she was told that they were in heaven. She imagined a ladder somewhere in the house.

Well, there was my good friend from a floor up in our apartment building, who wasn't available for playdates anymore. My father walked into my room one morning, told me he died of leukemia, and walked out, never saying another word about it.

Mine sounds worse than it was, at least in one sense. Basal cell carcinoma that actually started inside the ear canal, which was why it got as far advanced as it did before I found it and had it removed. Slow growing, but the doc said if I had gone another few months without finding it and having it removed, he might have just had to lop off the whole ear. Really the ear doesn't look too bad now. I was self-conscious for a year or so, but not anymore. Hell, my ears never matched anyway.

I think even for the 1950s how you treated death depended on your background. My parents lost their first-born girl and talked about her. Not obsessively, just enough to know she'd been born and part of the family.
I do remember the stigma on cancer, though. My dad's father died of a throat tumor, but the "C" word was never used.

Darryl, what do you have going? I just started a batch of Mulberry tonight.
My oldest sister was born a month early in Jan. '45 after my mom slipped on the ice. It being wartime, they had some undertrained staff, and a nurse's aid took my sister out of the incubator to bring her to my mom. She was 16 hrs. old when she died. My mom had 2 boys at the time, and there was a long enough gap that she thought she wouldn't have any more. Then she had 8 more. Go figure.
When my 4 older sibs were being particularly obnoxious I used to fantasize that my other sister would've been nice to me. Probably no better than the others, but, hey, whatever helps.

wife and I lived in one small bedroom while the whole house was renovated over months. We've only had a working kitchen for a few weeks... Phila
I did not realize you were married to Shelley Long.
Death, but in a good way. i think.
Euphemisms for death drive me crazy. When someone says their loved one has "passed," I want to smack them. It's not a test and they're not a kidney stone. They didn't pass or pass away or pass on, they died.
Oh yeah, I always blamed the dust from the renovations for killing my cat.
Mebee if they didn't skitter all over the keyboard she would leave em alone.

She iz getting better. She'll actually sit in my lap quietly and groom now. Nuthing like a huge, damp kitteh in UR lap.

Still, it's odd that it's so rare for the term brain cancer to be used. It's as if that's the one organ where it is just too damn frightening to call a spade a spade.

Look at how we still deal with mental illness...
Well, to talk of less traumatic differences in how people parented then v. now --
A couple of friends have their first long-awaited, long-yearned-for beautiful baby boy. He's 3 months old now, big, cheerful, alert, sociable -- altogether the picture of a bouncing baby boy. Well, he caught a bug. A little diarrhea, a little vomiting, a little crankiness, and this went on for a little while -- and then one night at 3 am his parents take him to the emergency room. Diagnosis: A stomach virus.
Jeez. Now I'm the 3rd child of a nurse, and I wouldn't have gotten a 3 am trip to the emergency room unless there was at least one severed limb involved. And a quart of blood on the floor.
I hope these two learn to relax a bit or they'll never survive their child's childhood.
Can you reschedule your contractors in the right order and at the precise time?
We went through a design house and let them subcontract everything. Still..., it was the refinancing this month that really stressed me out.

fourlegsrgood, gots pitchfork
Still setting records for sleeping.
Finally got a tiny peek at her eyeball, she's starting to relax her 3rd eyelid a bit.
She plays about 30 minutes early in the morning, then zonks out for the rest of the day. I've been giving her water with a tiny syringe in her mouf, but still haven't seen her eat anything.
We went through a design house and let them subcontract everything. Still..., it was the refinancing this month that really stressed me out.
My biggest pet peeve with the construction industry is the way a contractor will let a house sit empty for weeks, and then bring in all the subs in one week. Everybody trips over each other.
It's one of our family jokes that we'll arrange counseling at the drop of a hat, but greet all but the gushing of blood from a severed limb with the words, 'here, take some advil or pedialyte, and it'll be ok in a while.' Having a surgeon and a radiologist who did a peds residency will do that.
Of course, the downside is that Fr Mrs W and I often have the thought that, much as wel think tincture of time is likely to work, if there were a way to, say, know for sure that the kid's white blood cell count was normal, it'd be nice...

6 months? Erk! And poor dusty kitty.
Yup. First subcontractor had a gambling problem and lied to the contractors about the progress so as to get paid, and nobody believed me when I said no work was being done after everything was gutted. Next subcontractor called in to fix the shit got into a squabble with the contractors and tried to put a mechanic's lein on the place. It was a disaster.
But Waify was 18 years old, so it's not like she didn't have a long, lovely life. It was just a shock to find her after work in rigor, and have to deal with that when the subcontractor was still there...
My younger sister had bacterial meningitis as a baby. My father's impatience with her crying saved her life. But usually people do react to stuff like stomach viruses.

Sallyh, you used a construction I don't hear much these days == "don't be bleeding on the carpet." My mom used to use that "don't be verbing" construction, also "be" as an imperative, e.g., "<i>be</i> out of the way." Didn't you say you were of Irish heritage? Me too. D'you suppose those are Irishisms?

I've got a younger relative with an ex who's along Mlle's sperm donor's style, but with less initiative. Of course he never paid child support, mostly because he never had a job, just lived at his mother's mooching off her. So then one day he won $800 in the lottery but by the time my relatives heard of it to tap it for the back child support, he'd already blown it all on tattoo.

Write down the stuff like his showing up on campus, the time you had Mlle home after the abuse, everything you can think of.
His unreliability concerning picking up and dropping off his daughter may be as important as the abuse potential.

It was a number-one hit immediately after Neil Young's "Heart of Gold." I think that song softened people up for "Horse With No Name." I wonder if it would've been a hit, otherwise.
When I fream a set of lottery numbers and a date, I'll play then. My brother did that once in HS. He wanted to take a trip out to CA, and one day he took a nap, woke up and said he dreamed some numbers, played them, and that evening won around $1200, which paid for his trip. So far, I got nuthin.

They both make me think of the summer of '72, when I was a wee lad.
That makes me think of the summer of 42, when I had that affair with the beautiful older woman who lived up the beach, Jennifer O'Neill. At least, I think that was me.

well, I went away for awhile, when we were speaking of W's sister, Robin, dying of Leukemia, and his not having been told about it, and his parents playing golf the day after.
People spoke a lot about how that was during the 50s and that was how things were done.

She said (and scroll way up to see the context) "don't be bleeding on the carpet." So is that construction, "don't be <i>verb</i>ing," from the Irish? How about "be" as an imperative, as in "be out of the way"?

sarah: that I try to understand the Bushes in 1953, that I can place them in the context of their times, isn't necessarily forgiveness or justification. And I have, for instance, written of John Edwards trying to come to terms with a lifetime of predilections about homosexuality. That Craig is a hypocrite, that he actively worked to deny rights to gays while being closeted himself, is what I object to about him.
So...we forgive Babs and 41, but we do not forgive Craig, who grew up when being gay was not only anathema, but life threatening to admit.
Craig was / is not gay, he was just soliciting sex with another man, and thats not gay.... or some Gooper pundit told me a few days ago.
. He must have found something because the department gave him his degree.
You're sure it wasn't about the Hodag?

Maddie and Ripley actually prefer their crunchies.
dmark, can't remember what his research was about. That was 30 years back, and I never read his thesis.
I don't think Babs and 41 were heartless bastards because it was 1953. Lots of people back then managed to be comforting to their kids. I think they're just emotionally-stunted, pseudo-aristocratic, pathetic excuses for human beings.
And if Georgie had a tough childhood, that's still no excuse for him to make his only successful life's work fucking up the world.

That's less familiar... I don't think so, exactly.
sallyh: even Dylan's songwriting is wildly uneven. A lot of it is self-indulgent claptrap. And the good songs, and the great ones, require musicianship that Dylan lacks to cover properly.

He spent last week calling the people of Louisana whiners and freeloaders who should "Shut the hell up."
Rodgers: Ah at what point after a disaster and personal hardship are people expected to start taking care of themselves again? Is one hurricane supposed to be a permanent life long ticket on a bleeping gravy train? Come on!
Rodgers: I don’t wanna hear anymore of this crap from people in Louisiana saying “Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee. Shut the hell up. Solve your own problems. It’s been two years, grow up.

I may have shilled for this record in the past, in which case I apologize. But if you want to hear Johnny Hartman, male singing at its very best, here it is. The accompanists (John Coltrant, McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison) aren't bad, either...

G'night, all.
Phila, Pizen Sarpint
Bring back a couple of pints, I'm running out.
Careful out there Phila.
Watch me give birth to atrio's son:

...as my grandpappy would say, "If the Irish has just stayed in the Ireland, they wouldn't have had any trouble wit' the British!"
Of course, my wife Irish ancestory is a great parallel to the "put upon" stories of shoulder-chip-wearing minorities she often has in her classes.
Rorschach, gotta run, but remind me to steer you towards a downloadable Fall show from 1981 (one I actually attended)....

That I shall!
They're anyway grammatically different, in ways I could explain sometime other than Sat night... Thers
I thought it all was dependent on the speaker's intent.
I finally used flashy thing on her while she and Hidey were playing this morning.
I'm glad the other kitties are being nice to her.
Tom Waits sounds like Rowlf the Dog from the old Jimmy Dean Show.
I like the Michael Bolton character in Office Space immensely more than the recording artist by the same name.
It's been many, many years since I was willing to sit through more than a song or two, though.
Yeah, but for me, nobody passes that test anymore...
Beddy. Niters.

If all else fails with my cats, I use canned tuna. With oil, the cheaper the better. But all my kids like anyting fishy.

Hit her up with her most favorite Turkey and Giblets Fancy Feast, she sniffed, then sat there like she was gonna heave.
I know the drugs are making her nauseous, but she needs something in her.
Although the little fattie could live for 10 days off of what's packed around her middle.
smalfish: yup, you need to see the doctor. Sorry...
Would that be shanty Irish or lace curtain Irish?
Uhh....Who's going to post the late night thread?
I thought it all was dependent on the speaker's intent.
You really mean that?
I know, I know. Bed...
Why is the English imperative verb of being being construed as a uniquely Irish usage?
Uhh....Who's going to post the late night thread?
I thought Thers was.
I know the drugs are making her nauseous, but she needs something in her.
Oy. I know how that is.
I used to go through tons of different food trying to get Maxx to eat something.
...whu? G'night!
Echidne, drunken mick louts are notoriously unreliable.
smalfish: yup, you need to see the doctor. Sorry...
Alright, you got me. Luckily they already have it on record that this stuff works. I just need a refill. This is the third time this rash has appeared over the last 47 weeks. I must be allergic to something that's in the formula.
Hi Echidne: Yesterday you were in the dumplings. How ar eyou today?
He is, shall we say, erratic.
He's been consistently reworking his old songs into elevator music for frogs for the past five years or so.
But I will defend everything Zimmy did up to and including Infidels to my last breath. Nobody else has anything remotely approaching the greatness of his back catalog and nobody ever will. Shakespeare, Beethoven, Dylan, etc.
ProfWombat, a nightcap, perhaps?
Much better, Spocko. Thanks. I still have the problems but I'm much clearer on the right way to move forwards. Sounds like Bushit, doesn't it?
Thers hates the Moors. Fucking Micks.
I'll be going to bed now too, to dream of such baritones as Nathan Gunn, Ildebrando d'Arcangelo, and Bryn Terfel.
Happy labor day weekend, batses. Look for the union label.
4LG has emails
Unless haloscan eated it.
smalfish: things change; reactions to meds change. Part of a doc's job is to differentiate pain in the ass (common) from catastrophe (rare) in a timely fashion, and fix 'em both, mostly...
You really mean that?
I. Don't. Know?!?
Would I be for drunkish is a uniquely construction of the Irishing.
I put up an overnight thread, sigh.
sallyh: by odd coincidence, there's some virtual Armagnac...
sallyh: even Dylan's songwriting is wildly uneven. A lot of it is self-indulgent claptrap. And the good songs, and the great ones, require musicianship that Dylan lacks to cover properly.
ProfWombat
"momma always said......"
He's been consistently reworking his old songs into elevator music for frogs for the past five years or so.
When I saw Dream Theater last month they were using their own music as background cover while the stage was being set up. All of it was progressive metal elevator music.
I love it when balls are in my face.
Ir's time for me to go too. I've finally got two days off in a row and I need to rest to enjoy it.
I put up an overnight thread, sigh.
Echidne
U mean,... SHEETS?
Echidne. I have insights some times and I think, "Why didn't that come to me sooner?" It feel like I think a tad deeper than I did 12 years ago when I had the attention span of a gnat, but that my brain eventually comes up with some good stuff.
The latest insight had to do with a message I'm working out about how some non-profits abuse their status.
It wasn't until I went to YKos that it occured to me that the answer to them abusing their status was to suggest that they just dump their non-profit status! Of course they don't want to because they want the government's tax free status. But if they are a Republican group, they shouldn't really want to take advantage of big government, right?
Here's a contrstuct that marks somebody as being from West PA, but I don't know the cultural origin.
Missing infinitive:
"The car needs fixed."
"The baby needs bathed."
Echidne, yes, it is about women, not just Craig.
And, most notably, if we find ourselves agreeing w/Rethugs, we better fucking think again.....
SD
Spocko, you'd think so. But expediency is the most important moral value, it seems.
Sarah Deere, I wrote a little about that yesterday on my blog. It's still on the homepage.
"The car needs fixed."
My S.O.'s whole family is from Washington state, and they use that sentence structure, too. Drives me nuts.
We should never find ourselves agreeing with a Rethuglican about anyting. Craig falls under this caveat. IMHO.
Which is why I don;t let this go.
I think he was "sacrificed."
I believe he was. Because he disagreed w/Little Boots, the most fiercely vindictive, ugly POS to ever RULE this country we thought - once - was ours and belonged to the People.
It does not. It belongs totally to the moneyed class, lock, stock and...whatever.
We are slaves, feudal chaff. We're fucking done, toast, until we rise up...but that will take more sacrifice than we are ready to give, at this point. Their boots are already on our necks.
Salut 2 all
