I saw an amazing concert a few years back with Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch and others. About halfway through Emmylou said: "I hope y'all weren't expecting to hear a lot of happy songs this evening!"
Apparently. They landed where they did because they thought there was ice near the surface. The landing rockets must've blown the dirt away.

John Gorka opened with an upbeat song and then said, "Well, that was my entire repertoire of upbeat music. The rest range from sad to suicide inducing." (But he did amuse everyone with funny stories and jokes between songs)

Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) affections for President Bush are infamous. At the 2007 State of the Union address, she gripped onto Bush’s shoulder until he gave her “a kiss and an embrace.” In September 2007, she also claimed that the President tried to “embrace” her at the scene of Minnesota’s 35W bridge collapse. But in a speech to Republicans in Rochester, MN, yesterday, Rove told of one incident where Bush insulted Bachmann:
The Texan delivered a few Minnesota comments, like…the time when he was with Bush and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. The president told her to “take off those stupid pink gloves.”
No glove, no love.

Ketchup:
Ketchup (or less commonly catsup), also known as Tomato Ketchup, Tomato Sauce, Red Sauce, Tommy Sauce, Tommy K, or Dead Horse,[1] is a condiment, usually made from tomatoes. The ingredients in a typical modern ketchup are tomato concentrate, spirit vinegar, corn syrup or other sugar, salt, spice and herb extracts (including celery), spice and garlic powder[2]. Allspice, cloves, cinnamon, onion, and other vegetables may be included.
Ketchup started out as a general term for sauce, typically made of mushrooms or fish brine with herbs and spices. Some popular early main ingredients included blueberry, anchovy, oyster, lobster, walnut, kidney bean, cucumber, cranberry, lemon, celery and grape. Mushroom ketchup is still available in some countries, such as the UK.Banana ketchup is popular in the Philippines.
Ketchup is often used with French fries (or "chips" in the UK), hamburgers, sandwiches and grilled or fried meat. Ketchup with mayonnaise forms the base of Thousand Island dressing and fry sauce. Ketchup is also typically used as a base for barbecue sauce, especially in the Southern United States.

I say Cubs fans are suckers well because they are.
The team in in one of the largest media markets in the country. Their games are simulcast across cable across the country. They sell out every game, yet for some reason, the team never has money to buy players to win a championship.
I think the owners of the cubs have figured that they don't need to care about winning since the fans will show up anyways.

There's 3 ways this could go.
There's absolutely no reason why the DNC can't decide before the end of the day today, that they will hold revotes in both states in 3-4 weeks. The sanction for the original violation could be that the state parties must pay a majority of the cost with the campaigns chipping in.
If not, Obama suggests splitting the delegates 50/50. If that's the case, there's no reason to even count them since this only pads the numbers pushing each total equally higher. It represent no will of the voters and therefore is meaningless.
A solution would be to split the pledged delegates evenly, PLUS, free them up by giving them superdelegate power. This would restore the winning total for deciding the nominee to its original number, and allow the convention to be the deciding forum as it should be for such a close primary race...

So Hannity was alluding to this mystery tape of Obama's wife saying something REALLY bad.
"I'm not going to say what is on it. I'm just going to allude to it over and over and over again and if it never comes out it won't matter because I'll convince people it exists and she did say it. I learned this trick from the 9/11 = Saddam trick."

Bingo. Obama doesn't need them anyway, so who cares.
There is actually an underlying question of precedent here that is important outside of the horse race aspect of it: what happens when state's violate party rules about the pecking order. Let them all in and it give license to primary anarchy. I'm all for fixing the system and shifting the order around (and jettisoning caucuses and super delegates). But there needs to some rules that have to be enforced.
The question of precedent, however, is hardly how the issue is being approached in the general discussion

We bought a house around 1985 that had chocolate brown and ivory wallpaper in the family room, arranged in a pattern that you could never quite focus on it. It swam before your eyes, especially when you were tired or slightly tipsy.
It also had a bathroom with bright red, white and blue tile, paint and fixtures that we called the Betsy Ross Room.

The DNC was in favor of revotes, but the state parties couldn't agree on the format and refused to pick up the tab for the cost.

Years ago we were househunting in a fairly small suburb. One house we looked at had a room with an distinctive wallpaper. Later we were talking with another couple who were also looking for a new house. Since it was a small suburb we had seen some of the same houses. When we mentioned the house with the 'orgy room' they knew exactly what house we meant. I don't remember the actual pattern, it was not pornographic, but was certainly suggestive.

WELL SAID!
Thank you. I think I'll steal that.
I remember talking to an old business friend before the war and heard her saying. "I think Sean Hannity makes a lot of sense."
And I realized that at one time in my life, at one location in my life I would have felt the same way. But I've live too long and seen too much of the real world to be fooled by him. But when I heard this from her I realized how truly dangerous the right-wing having a monopoly over radio and over cable tv was.
Radio is VERY personal and VERY powerful. And if someone is clever in how they tap into our fears and our anger and directs it toward "safe" targets they can convince people that they are doing the "right thing" by hating others and not wanting to ask questions.

not to mention the fact that NOBODY (other than the talking heads) wants this to go on another three to four weeks.
it shouldn't matter. by the end of the week, the primaries will be over, the super delegates will decide, hillary will gracefully withdraw and no one will give a rat's ass whether florida and michigan are seated. at least not in how they relate to this particular election. as has been mentioned earlier, the wider issues of recognizing voters' intentions and how the rules are applied is more important. that's what's being decided now. from what i've seen, it will be a civil compromise that no one will be 100% satisfied with but everyone will accept.
and then we can concentrate on mcstain.

if they were all gay then at least they wouldn't be so overweight
But I already posted in on my blog. The kids (now 24 and 26) are playing dressup. Does not show the evil wallpaper, but do note the multicolored shag carpet
But they could conceivably restart the process, put forward a proposal to the states.
And you could leave a fucking tooth under your pillow for the tooth fairy. There's a difference between hope and the kind of delusion characteristic of celebrity stalkers.

Care for the poor. Don't kill. Don't lie. Don't steal. Blessed are the peacemakers."
Then Bush is responsible for that stuff?

I'm pretty much the same way, but I have a sneaking suspicion that my original assessment of Hopey McChange - that he's going to fold like cheap patio furniture everytime the wingnuts say "boo" to him - is going to, sadly, be right on the money.
Funny how quick he is to throw his pastor and his church of 20 years under the bus as soon as the brownshirts start barking, but it took him months to make a tepid half-apology for letting a homophobe fundamentalist run a bunch of his rallies.

Yup. Such teachings are subversive, seditious, and not reasonably calculated to lead to the increase of the GNP and the national security of America, which is always under threat, and must be constantly and vigilantly defended.
And the people who listen to that stuff should be kept out of public office. Especially if they start believing it! Which might happen at any time!

Wright is a "liberation theologian." So am I. Who cares?
This Catholic priest was a guest, who behaved a bit clownishly, IMHO. Will this attach to Obama? No, because this guy won't be on Moyers and at the National Press Club and speaking to the NAACP. He's a locally known firebrand, I understand.
This issue is a squib. Brought to you by the same people who tried to make Ayers an issue (and he will be, in November, for some people. Not enough to make a difference, though. That's politics.)
