Good morning.
Oh, I thought the room was full already.
I wish I good judge 20 seconds better.
Where is everybody?
Keep Matthews out of PA
Barry = Poop Troll
Uh huh.
I'm so mad at this CNN report on alleged pork in the nation's mayors' requests I could scream.

I don't know what there reasoning was. I've heard plenty of good enviros also want to use "climate change" instead, so what do I know? But "global warming" is accurate. "Climate change" is also accurate, but a bit harder to explain, imo.
Fact is, nobody, nobody at all, could recognize a 2 degree C change in average temperature. That's the point that needs to be driven home.
tweety is ideal for senator: a bland and boring idiot sheep.
Is that like giving the Senate Republicans filibuster power without making them work for it?
Gimlet | 12.20.08 - 8:44 am | #
No. It is like realizing that 15 Democratic senators are not enough to even make a point.
Oh I don't know, Tweety's not that boring. He shoots his mouth off pretty regularly.
I've got too much to do today, so I better go. See you all later.
See ya, Moe.
I like Jamison Foser at Media Matters. But if he thinks the voters of PA are going to render a negative judgment on Tweety, I fear he's wrong.
America, like the UK, worships celebrity. If Matthews runs for the Senate, he'll probably win, absent a Macaca-sized gaffe.
Look at Ventura in MN, Schwarzenegger in CA, and now Caroline Kennedy in NY (who seems to me by far the most capable of those mentioned, but she's still a celebrity.) Hell, look at Ronald Reagan for cryin' out loud.
A shame. As much as I dislike Specter, he'll probably be seen in retrospect as far better than Senator Matthews.

So the Palin extended family is down with the oxy....I bet Rush makes a trip up there to help deliver the baby...."quick the baby is coming get me some hot water and a thousand oxys"
"WASILLA -- Wasilla resident Sherry L. Johnston, mother of Bristol Palin's boyfriend, faces a Jan. 6 court date for an oxycontin-related arrest at her home by Alaska State Troopers..."
Could We Uncover Watergate Today?
The death last week of W. Mark Felt -- Bob Woodward's secret source, indelibly dubbed "Deep Throat," who played such a crucial role in this newspaper's Watergate reporting -- coincided with the appearance of Richard M. Nixon, as played by Frank Langella, on local movie screens. As I watched Langella's Nixon being interrogated about the conspiracy and coverup by Michael Sheen's David Frost in "Frost/Nixon," I relived strong memories. And Felt's death raised the inevitable question: Could the kind of reporting that Woodward and Carl Bernstein pulled off be done today, more than three decades later, in the age of the Internet?
There are still whistle-blowers like Felt in government today -- probably many more than there were back then. They are encouraged by various public employees' organizations and protected by whistle-blowers' legislation enacted after Watergate. And they have many more investigative reporters to talk to -- not only at newspapers, despite deep and worrying cuts in newsroom staffs, but also many other media outlets, including investigative Web sites and blogs.
the question is not whether it could be done, the question is whether there are any consequences to pay.

Oh, tay good gawd:
Matthews said of Bush: "I like him. Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left -- I mean -- like him personally." At the time the "real whack-jobs" who disliked Bush constituted a majority of the American public. The following year, Matthews called Bush "a wise man ... almost Atticus Finch."

My money's on Jerry Brown - Jesuit lawyers.....
California Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown asked the state Supreme Court on Friday to invalidate the voter-approved ban on gay marriage, declaring that "the
amendment process cannot be used to extinguish fundamental constitutional rights without compelling justification."
Brown's argument on Proposition 8, contained in an 111-page brief filed at the last possible moment before the court's deadline, surprised many legal experts. The attorney general has a legal duty to uphold the state's laws as long as there are reasonable grounds to do so. Last month, Brown said he planned to "defend the proposition as enacted by the people of California."
But in his filing, Brown, who personally supports same-sex marriage, offered a novel legal theory to back his argument that the measure should be invalidated.
The California Constitution protects certain rights as "inalienable," Brown wrote. Those include a right to liberty and to privacy, which the courts have said includes a person's right to marry.
The issue before the court "presents a conflict between the constitutional power of the voters to amend the Constitution, on the one hand, and the
Constitution's Declaration of Rights, on the other," Brown wrote.
The issue "is whether rights secured under the
state Constitution's safeguard of liberty as an 'inalienable' right may intentionally be withdrawn from a class of persons by an initiative
amendment."
Voters are allowed to amend other parts of the
Constitution by majority vote, but to use the ballot box to take away an "inalienable" right would establish a "tyranny of the majority,"
which the Constitution was designed, in part, to prevent, he wrote.
In an interview, Brown said he had developed his theory after weeks of consultation with the top lawyers in his office. "This analysis was not
evident on the morning after the election," he said.
Ah....
Good morning.
Our old buddy, Ken Starr, has joined the Prop 8 defense team.

The likes of Kenneth Starr, David Addison, John Yoo, Jay Bybee and too many others have fundamentally challenged the rule of law in this country. They have much to answer for, and will probably not have to answer to anyone other than historians, alas.
But they played a critical role in laying down a theoretical framework, and legitimization for Bush and Cheney's transgressions against the law and against human decency.

Derrick Jackson, in the morning Globe, doesn't contribute much we don't know, but neither does he mince words:
Last week, a bipartisan Senate Armed Services Committee report concluded that the 2003 Abu Ghraib detainee abuse was not just the result of a few rogue soldiers. It said: "Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's authorization of aggressive interrogation techniques and subsequent interrogation policies and plans approved by senior military and civilian officials conveyed the message that physical pressures and degradation were appropriate treatment for detainees in US military custody. What followed was an erosion in standards dictating that detainees be treated humanely."
Those items help cement this White House as among the most cancerous in American history.
http://www.boston.com/bostonglob..._the_dark_side/
Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, all needed, sometimes painful and with their own risks. And vigilance against the possibility of recurrence, or metastasis. The threat never goes away.
'Cancerous' is a superb metaphor, seems to me.
Depends on the teenager. I've known at least three who were joys to deal with in their teens, and grew up to be amazing.
an erosion in standards
How many different ways can that phrase be applied to the Bush era? Education, the environment, the economy and so on and on.
Re: the rule of law, Abu Ghraib, the whole fucking Iraq war, our Incredible Spineless Dems, and how likely the Repubs are to get away with it: I think Michael Palin said it best when he said, "Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who!"
I flirt with women. I admit it. I don't do so when I'm involved with them professionally, or when it's unwelcome. I get it right most times, miss other times and, when I notice I miss, I apologize.
I'm better at being civilized than I was 30 years ago. I admit that, too. A work in progress, most of us...
ProfW -- heh. Sometimes I wish I'd been able to flirt like I can now back when I had the looks to go with it.
During one interview of Laura Ingraham, Matthews managed to stop short of asking the radio host on a date -- but just barely. The interview began with Matthews announcing, "I'm not allowed to say this, but I'll say it -- you're beautiful and you're smart" -- and ended in much the same way: "I get in trouble for this, but you're great looking, obviously. You're one of the gods' gifts to men in this country. But also, you are a hell of a writer."
She looks like a spiteful little snatch to me, Tweety. But I've never seen her up real close like you have.
Blogwhore on the joys of costumes you can't get out of without assistance.
filk, teens are separate animal when away from their parents. In fact, I took great comfort in knowing that even if I wasn't the recipient of their good manners, at least they knew how to behave in public. It takes a few years before they become human to their rents as well.

[more coffee]
filk: well, when I was 30, I was simultaneously happily married and surrounded by pretty, intelligent women in work venues. There was a tension there, that I resolved in favor of the former, mostly successfully and, in the act, exclusively. The tension arose out of a sense of possibility I no longer feel, and haven't for a while. I'm comfortable with that, as I am with few things about myself, but also regret it a bit, just a bit, as have many and many a 60 yo before me...
Alas, I was never any good at flirting and nobody seemed interested in flirting with me. I expect it's one of those things that needs a good deal of practice.

GWPDA: the 17 yo Wombette got into Fordham (NYC) and U Maine Farmington Honors, and is happy, as am I.
Fordham has a core curriculum, a concept I favor, and would invite wider exploration and require better work habits. She awaits Columbia, Bennington and U Vermont, who'll probably let her know in the spring. But she's in great shape.
Really proud of her. She picked herself up and is gonna be all right.
Cousins, at the very least.

I am only just beginning to learn how to flirt and it is well, ass-backwards, and more than a little out of control. Scary really. I need to finetune, I think.
my 2 cents
My brother went to Fordham.
I am very good at flirting when it's clear the pressure's off. However I can't seem to flirt with men to whom I am interested — I get all shy and feel awkward, and want to run away!
"how's that go? the way to a man's heart..."
is through his chest?
It is 54 right now. The forecast for 9am Monday is 20.
with whom.
"However I can't seem to flirt with men to whom I am interested — "
I tend to miss clues - the ones that say she's interested. really stupid in this area.
13 deg, a foot of new snow on the ground. Feels warmer than that, somehow: not much wind.
They warn of more snow tomorrow...
Ahhh, but, GWPDA, you are lovely and devilishly smart and witty. To my mind, at least, that makes you the object of flirting. Thus giving you the advantage.
No, in whom. Sheesh!
The interview began with Matthews announcing, "I'm not allowed to
say this, but I'll say it -- you're beautiful and you're smart" -- and ended in much the same way: "I get in trouble for this, but you're
great looking, obviously. You're one of the gods' gifts to men in this country."
No, no, Matthews was on the phone with Ingraham but he was
looking in a mirror.
We're supposedly getting another inch of snow tonight, but the problem will be tomorrow when the wind chill hits -15°.
Unk: a few years ago, I realized that, in my youth, I thought mostly about all the women who said no, and, now that I'm older, I recall those who said yes when I wasn't listening.
Either way, of course, tantalized by possibilities, of roads not taken...
You can't marry me, but you could at least teach me.
Delighted. As always with this kind of cookie, keep the dough chilled. Roll it to about 1/4 inch. Toast the anise seeds for a few minutes before adding them. Watch them closely in the oven - they go nicely brown from pure white very fast. A half recipe works just fine
Bizcochitos
4-5 dozen
1 pound (2 cups) lard, Crisco or butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons anise seeds, toasted
6 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brandy (or dry sherry)
sugar and cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350F
Cream shortening. Add sugar, eggs, anise seeds: cream again. Mix dry ingredients separately and combine with shortening mixture. Add brandy and mix thoroughly.
Roll out dough on floured board and cut into shapes. Sprinkle cookies with sugar cinnamon mixture (or plain sugar) and bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned.
Prepositions are a bother -- particularly across languages.

I love it when gay guys flirt with me.
It's flattering, if fruitless.
GWPDA: yup; I'm pleased. I think she'll do well there, and find enough seriousness of purpose and intellectual possibility to help her find direction. She leans towards the unlikely combination of a major in life sciences and a strong minor in Russian language and literature at this point, but there's so much potential there.
I'd love for her to come in contact with serious history, which she didn't get even a little of in high school, and with philosophy, both of which Fordham has plenty...

There are entire genres of fetish devoted both to mannequins and the various magic tricks wherein a woman is divided into parts.

Someone's out there right now, editing a magazine about it. And they're not even enjoying it. They have to worry about layouts and ad space and white space. Face it, you're just not that evil."

Honestly, I have nothing like that. I guess I'm boring. Except for the orgies...
In freshman year, 1967, I had no idea about gay folk, period, and no idea when they were flirting with me. Years later, I recalled my freshman English composition teacher, wicked nice guy and quite gay, just glowing at me when I mentioned that I loved Auden, for instance; never made a pass at me otherwise, but I'd spoken in a code of whose existence I had no idea...
There are entire genres of fetish devoted both to mannequins and the various magic tricks wherein a woman is divided into parts.
I've run into a few people like this. I once knew a woman who wanted to be turned into a mannequin and then become my "love toy". I told her, thank, but Kim Catrell was filling that nitch quite nicely.
That is an excellent idea. A tree of wise women!
Beginning with pictures made into ornaments of the women of Eschaton.
Sorry, the idea popped into my head as Ina mentioned wise men and I apparently have no filter left.
The daughters could work and research and add their own wise women. I like it!

As climate change warms the nation, giant Burmese pythons could colonize one-third of the USA, from San Francisco across the Southwest, Texas and the South and up north along the Virginia coast, according to U.S. Geological Survey maps released Wednesday.

the wise men collection started by chance when i found three outta balsa wood at a california swap meet and bought them, saying that i would start collecting wise men 'cause that's what the world needs, more wise men.

Old Media: Now Featuring Palin-Smears From Actions of In-Laws Not Yet Even In-Laws
By Warner Todd Huston (Bio | Archive)
December 20, 2008 - 05:09 ET
The national news has found its newest way to slam Governor Sarah Palin and that is to report heavily on any untoward actions made by her relatives by marriage -- or even soon to be marriage, for that matter. Next the Old Media will be strenuously looking for Palin neighbors that are unruly, Palin hairdressers that have parking tickets, Palin dog groomers that steal pens from work, and Palin fans that talk too loudly on cell phones while in a theater.
That's right. Everybody who ever spoke to Palin is now fair game, Warner Todd.
What a weirdo name, by the way.
Speaking of flirting...my dad passed away on December 9, almost 82 years old. This is from his eulogy:
Even during the last few months, when he spent a lot of time in hospitals, through all of his discomfort, he was making wise cracks to the nurses and doctors. One young nurse, probably thinking about his care when he gets home, asked if he lives alone. Without missing a beat, he responded, “why, you want to move in with me?”
I recalled my freshman English composition teacher, wicked nice guy and quite gay, just glowing at me when I mentioned that I loved Auden, for instance; never made a pass at me otherwise, but I'd spoken in a code of whose existence I had no idea...

You just have to be perceptive and observant regarding how you're affecting people. It can be quite fun when you get fluent in the language of flirting, no matter the gender identification of the co flirter...
filk: when I was a kid, I read science fiction constantly, talked about it with nobody. It was fun in and of itself, and an escape and distraction from my utter social inadequacy. One of the things I so enjoyed about the first 'Star Wars' movie was the company, in the theatre and around the world, of so many people who, unbeknownst to me at the time, inhabited the same imaginary place. It saddened me a bit, at the possibility that all those folk and I might have made each other a little less lonely, but mostly made me happy, in that I really wasn't as alone as I might have thought myself to be...
Wombat - I would endorse Fordham with more enthusiasm if they had spelt the name of the Social Sciences Research Council correctly on their history department webpage. Also - if they offered (any) Empire history.
Unfortunately, there is no direct land route between
"Burma" and North America, but Giant Burmese Honeysuckle has already been imported.

I'm in a special situation: Borders used to be one store, one of several indies here in Ann Arbor. We've got three Borders now, including the corporate headquarters; two B&N (and another up the road in Brighton, and for that matter another Borders); but we've also still got several university-centric book stores downtown, and three very popular indie bookstores -- Nicola's, Falling Water, and Crazy Wisdom. The latter two are feminist-oriented, and Crazy Wisdom has a second-floor tea shop. And that's not counting the comic book stores.
I love Ann Arbor.

ProfW -- I thought I was alone, too. That's why gaming, and later sf/f fandom, were so fantastic for me to find. And pretty much all of my social life, and all of my best friends, are still there. As Spider Robinson said, the first thing someone who's weird needs is a place where they don't treat him any different just because he's weird.
Good Saturday morning to one and all.
Even in the San Fernando Valley, frost is on the rooftops. Two days ago there was snow on the northern hills above the Valley and a half inch of snow on the Malibu hills. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas -- and my coffee is almost ready.
Peace, joy, and love to all on this fine weekend.
Good luck with your collection INA
I have Santa collections and tree collections, and snow men collections, and well, Homer Laughlin plate collections, and depression glass collections, and china Boston Terrier collections, and mostly a collection of giraffes.
I am collected out. My house is full of antiques. I am over it, but people keep buying.
Simplify. simplify. simplify.
Books will be my hardest to get rid of.
If wise men give you joy, and of course they should, then enjoy!
XOXOXOX Happy holidays!
Wow, filk, you've got it good there!
Tirolean bookstores are just getting the hang of the idea of the big bookstore with the coffee bar. There are two like that here, and they are still one third of the size of your average Borders.

I generally buy books (when I do buy them, which isn't often) from Vroman's in Pasadena, an indy which has been in existence for at least as long as I've lived in SoCal (almost 40 years) and probably even longer than that.

Sounds cool. Had a friend go to graduate school there..
Duane: I commuted from East 96th in Manhattan; took 45 min each way. Long enough, that.
Jeez. Obama talking about science without once pointing out that, even though they have PhDs, he got C+s and is still president. He also talks about science not being twisted by ideology. He gets it, and is differentiating himself dramatically and deliberately from Bush. Good for him...
Powell's in Portland, Oregon, that is. The one and only branch, as far as I know.
on the other hand, they have an Irish Studies interdisciplinary
program, which doubtless treats the late British Empire with utter
fairness and rigor...
I'm absolutely sure of it!

My house is full of antiques. I am over it, but people keep buying.
It's an incredible time to buy antiques ... prices are so depressed, except on the truly high-end stuff, that value has become a meaningless concept.
Faith that the market will recover keeps us scrounging for bargains. It's ridiculously easy right now.
I will be very glad when the solstice has passed.
The Baby Jesus only got three gifts for Christmas. That should be enough for anyone, rich or poor.
Ann Arbor also has Zingerman's, The Ark, and the Michigan Theater. We've got the Art Fairs, the Summer Festival, Hill Auditorium, and the Arb. We've got five museums within one mile of each other.

Dr. John Holdren has agreed to serve as Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. John is a professor and Director of the Program on Science, Technology, and Public Policy at Harvards Kennedy School of Government, as well as President and Director of the Woods Hole Research Center. A physicist renowned for his work on climate and energy, hes received numerous honors and awards for his contributions and has been one of the most passionate and persistent voices of our time about the growing threat of climate change. I look forward to his wise counsel in the years ahead.
John will also serve as a Co-Chair of the Presidents Council of Advisors on Science and Technology - or PCAST - as will Dr. Harold Varmus and Dr. Eric Lander. Together, they will work to remake PCAST into a vigorous external advisory council that will shape my thinking on scientific aspects of my policy priorities.
I don't know Holdren, but have served on committees with Lander, who is The Smartest Person I Have Ever Met.
And Varmus, Nobel Laureate and ex-head of NIH, ain't no slouch, either.
Great choices.

From the NYT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Dick Cheney's lawyers are asserting that the vice president alone has the authority to determine which records, if any, from his tenure will be handed over to the National Archives when he leaves office in January.
That claim is in federal court documents asking that a lawsuit over the records be dismissed. Cheney leaves office Jan. 20, potentially taking with him millions of records that might otherwise become public record.
''The vice president alone may determine what constitutes vice presidential records or personal records, how his records will be created, maintained, managed and disposed, and are all actions that are committed to his discretion by law,'' according to a court filing by Cheney's office with the U.S. District Court on Dec. 8.
