GravatarHey, Gromit!


GravatarI never caught on to the Philly crabs thing.

No; you should seek out the nearest nuke plant.

Gravatar"Steam some crabs" is completely different from "steam some crabs outta my sheets".

Hey, did you see I got blogrolled at The Poor Man?

Is that anything like Rocky Mountain oysters?


GravatarIn the flyover country, does "steaming some crabs" mean taking a hot shower?

The Poor Man is a national treasure. I still use The Editors line about New Hampshire all the time: "it's full of people shooting their tax-free shotguns into barns full of tax-free fireworks, and voting Republican."

GravatarI caught a fish hoagie once. Ate my crabs.

I do remember one summer, my uncle brought home so many dungeness crabs I eventually couldn't stand to look at the things.

Took about three days of crab morning noon and night for this to happen.


Gravatarbubble cola goes well with a fish hoagie


Gravatarres, I've tried being sweet to them and it makes no difference, they're bitchy and useless. Maybe I should bake them something?

Are they allowed to accept baked goods?

I give up on the bulk mail dude, though. He listens to Rush.

GravatarHey, did you see that I got a crack whore?

Grouchy. Guess you don't want to hear about the other places I got linked lately, then.

You bet. Nearly time for some bugs and steamers.

GravatarNixon had a pet crab named Marvin that he would lead around the oval office on a thread.

I love how no matter what fucked up shit people happen to be talking about at any given moment, there is an appropriate Nixon story to accompany it.

"This one time my pet alligator wouldn't quit humping stuff ..."
"Funny you should mention that. Did you know Richard Nixon once humped an alligator?"

A.


Gravatar"the girls ARE STILL CHATTING in their room!!"

I have been known to tell my boys in similar circumstances...

I am going to bed now. if you wake me up, bad things will happen, capiche? That's a nice playstation you got there... pity if something might happen to it, knowattimean? eh?


GravatarI am beginning to question Thers' commitment to NTodd Motion.


GravatarGreat cartoon atop the Rich column that res linked to.

GravatarI like Frank Rich.

I hope he has only good things to say about Johnny McSame's stroll down the coldcut isle this week.


GravatarHi Athenae. NH is turning quite blue. Maine should be so lucky.


Gravatar
There is such a thing as a pity fuck, ya know.


I do. And I ain't complaining, neither.


GravatarBrought up from the recently obsoleted thread:

Why not hold elections on Saturday or Sunday?

They do it in other countries.


IIRC, the first Tuesday in November is written in stone in the Constitution someplace.

I agree that holding elections on a weekend would improve voter turnout.

Which is why the GOP would be violently opposed to any such move.

They want to reduce participation. If more people vote, they'll probably vote against the interests of the Ferengi aristocrat wannabees.

Can't have that.

I like this approach, and plan to adopt it, since this summer vacation has been one sleepover after another, with no regard for the fact that Dad has a J.O.B. he has to get to and be awake for in the morning.

GravatarThanks, Sandra Day:

From Rich:

What was most striking about the Obama speech in Berlin was not anything he said so much as the alternative reality it fostered: many American children have never before seen huge crowds turn out abroad to wave American flags instead of burn them.

Oy. Susan Collins. Arguably the biggest fraud in national politics. Bewilders and infuriates me that she gets away with it.


GravatarThe Poor Man is a national treasure. I still use The Editors line about New Hampshire all the time: "it's full of people shooting their tax-free shotguns into barns full of tax-free fireworks, and voting Republican."

I vote for the line about some wingnut homophobic politician: "He's so far back in the closet, he's in Narnia."

GravatarOy. Susan Collins. Arguably the biggest fraud in national politics. Bewilders and infuriates me that she gets away with it.

Also her voice. I think she and Joe Lieberman were in some weird choir together where they had their vocal cords covered with drano.


GravatarDeiter!


GravatarHeh, SteveLG. I was just about to lay the same paragraph down here.


GravatarEven Richer:

While drama-queen commentators on television last week were busy building up false suspense about the Obama trip — will he make a world-class gaffe? will he have too large an audience in Germany? — few focused on the alarms that Mr. McCain’s behavior at home raise about his fitness to be president.

Once again the candidate was making factual errors about the only subject he cares about, imagining an Iraq-Pakistan border and garbling the chronology of the Anbar Awakening. Once again he displayed a tantrum-prone temperament ill-suited to a high-pressure 21st-century presidency. His grim-faced crusade to brand his opponent as a traitor who wants to “lose a war” isn’t even a competent impersonation of Joe McCarthy. Mr. McCain comes off instead like the ineffectual Mr. Wilson, the retired neighbor perpetually busting a gasket at the antics of pesky little Dennis the Menace.




GravatarI got extremely sick at Phillip's Crab House in 1969. Haven't been back.


GravatarSteveLG owes me ice cream!


GravatarUnd now, we dance!


GravatarJohn McCain, who voted against Webb's GI bill becaues Karl Rove told him to, is now running an ad that includes this:

"And now, he made time to go to the gym, but cancelled a visit with wounded troops," the announcer says. "Seems the Pentagon wouldn't allow him to bring cameras."

"John McCain is always there for our troops."

http:// tpmelectioncentral.talkin...t_there_for.php




I can't bring myself to watch it.


GravatarLooks like more weather on the way for Gromit.


GravatarGlibertarians, mobilized!

"The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 libertarian activists to move to New Hampshire..."

and

The original target date for pledges was the end of 2006. As of April 11, 2008, the project said that 8,300 people have pledged to move to New Hampshire, while 269 have confirmed that they have actually moved.

That's conviction of one's beliefs.


GravatarCrabs? ain't no philly thing.

I lived in Philly for 10 years, and bought plenty of live crabs from bushel baskets on 9th street.

Being from Boston, I was always more of a lobster, steamers guy. I realize that the crabs actually come from Maryland, but they're big in season in Philly.

GravatarGromit, glad to hear you've disposed the undesirables


GravatarBeen out of touch recently. Just dropped by to say that maybe the best scene in the whole X-Files movie was Scully and Mulder in the FBI corridor between the pictures.

Very nice touch Mr. Carter has...

I know you can get em but Philadelphia isn't really known for its seafood is it?


GravatarThe Phillips in OC? Yes, I think it was the only one back in 69. I have noticed that they have expanded, even saw one in an airport but I can't remember which one.


GravatarOne of life's great injustices is that Peak Asshattery will never be attained.

Exhibit A: Faux Gnus


Exhibit B: McAsshole's latest ad


GravatarSettle for champagne?

I don't think the words "settle" and "champagne" go in the same sentence! Esp. since I know what kind of champagne you like!


GravatarI know you can get em but Philadelphia isn't really known for its seafood is it?

Bookbinder's used to be quite famous for seafood, especially chowder. Is it still there?


GravatarEvening,

So glad that McLame is running a "Respectful" campaign, I would hate to see a hateful one.


GravatarOne of life's great injustices is that Peak Asshattery will never be attained.


Like perfection, it can only be approached asymptotically.


Gravatar"John McCain is always there for our troops."

If feeding wounded soldiers feet first (or stump first) into a woodchipper would feed Huggy Bear's insatiable ambition, he'd do it faster than you can say Jack Richardson.

Huggy Bear's entire focus is to fulfill his ambition. Nothing else matters. Nothing.


GravatarObama is arrogant and presumptuous.

Oh, fuck--it still is.

I fear it might be.

You might say that. But probably not in the way you meant it...


GravatarRalphie

There's one at the Baltimore Harbor, now, I think and, for a while, there was a not very good one on the DC waterfront, but that may have closed. I still remember one time when Son was going through a teen age growth spurt and we took him to the one in OC and he ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and . . . .


GravatarIf Sarah Siskind is not weird enough for you, I have a whole muxtape full of weird.

GravatarI'm going to go put my grumpy, elderly ass to bed.

See y'all in the morning, most likely.


GravatarI was very fond of the X-Files in the first four seasons. After that, bleah.

"Ice" and "Squeeze" and "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and "The Erlenmeyer Flask", fabulous.

I dunno if I'll go see the film. The first was notable only for the axing of the Well-Manicured Man...

(Is the Chicago flag showing up as a gravatar? I don't see it...)


Gravatar"Bookbinder's used to be quite famous for seafood, especially chowder. Is it still there?"

yep.


GravatarAlso, I say again:

There's a very good reason, aside from the desire to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and father, why Huggy Bear elected to go Navy instead of Marines:

If he went Marines, he would not have survived his first tour, ala Douglas Niedermayer.


GravatarJohn McCain is always there for our troops

Some hero. Being taken captive by the enemy is about the least effective thing you can do as a combatant.

Yes. Probably the only X Files I will ever remember.


Gravatar"John McCain is always there for our troops."

And I'm sure the troops feel him behind them every step of the way.


Gravatarhe ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and .

I think that's what made me sick. Too much of a good thing was tough on my mid-western constitution. Standing outside drinking beer in the summer heat probably didn't help, either.


GravatarI know you can get em but Philadelphia isn't really known for its seafood is it?

Nah, not so much. But crabs are big in season, so much that everywhere you go there are bushels of live crabs for sale. The Maryland shore isn't very far. When in Rome.....

For me it was "Home".


You never listen to Johnny Mathis the same way EVER!


GravatarThanks, ATDH.


GravatarAt what point will it dawn on the journamalists that Obama will win, and that they need to start sucking up to him?

The "press corps" has become so uselessly a stenography pool that they won't know how to function without access. Royal courtiers, all of them. It doesn't matter who's in power as long as they get the privilege of waiting in the halls.


Gravatar"Home" was really twisted, but I can see why you liked it.

I think if you just think of it as a good two-part show with a bigger budget, you'll be in the right frame of mind for it.

If the first movie was all on the ET side, this one's all on the creepy psychic, which fits the original theme of the show better, IMHO....


Gravatarpuppethead,

My theory is they'll do to Obama what they did to Bill Clinton. It's only Republican presidents they fawn over.


Gravatarpuppethead: At what point will it dawn on the journamalists that Obama will win, and that they need to start sucking up to him?

I think it's close.

GravatarTime to boil some bunnies.

The republics and their lackeys in the MSM are chompin' at the bit to call Obama a nigger.

They're circling around it, licking at it, but the fruit is just out of reach.

They don't function this way under Democrats, though, and I don't think they will when President Obama is in office. All the sudden they'll start acting like they're journalists again, because their corporate masters desire it.


GravatarThe republics and their lackeys in the MSM are chompin' at the bit to call Obama a nigger.


My bet would be someone slipping in a "boy" first...


GravatarHi, puppethead. That's what I hear: that the second film is a MOTW (monster of the week.) Just as well, because the whole alien mythology became completely unwieldy. A pity. If only they'd had the vaguest idea where they were going with it, it would have been a terrific story. But they let it spin out of control, much as with Mulder's sister.


Gravatarchompin' at the bit to call Obama a nigger.

My theory is they're going to get Coulter to do it and then they'll all get to talk "about" her saying it. Before you know it, it will be "racist" and "overly pc" to object to the use of the word.


GravatarMy bet would be someone slipping in a "boy" first...

Didn't McCain do a "lad" or some shit like that already?


GravatarMy theory is they'll do to Obama what they did to Bill Clinton.

I don't think they're capable of that anymore. Sure, Rush and FOX Noise will do that, but I think the corporate media have become so unskilled in actual journalism that they really are unable to report anything that's not spoon fed to them. And the GOP puke funnel won't be occupying the halls of government, so the megaphone will be quite muted.


GravatarRefreshing fizzy and/or adult beverage to Hecate, IRT the MCM stenographers as courtiers.

They are quite frankly not intelligent or snarky enough to do the Nih thing.

Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator


I feel the same way about Sam Nunn.


GravatarYeah, right, a republican female as VP choice for Obama. That'd smooth things over with Hillary supporters.


GravatarThe RNC now has $69 million in it's coffers compared to the DNC's $5 million. The RNC hasn't spent a dime while Dean has raised lots and spent more on the 50 state strategy. The RNC is husbanding that money for the fall when they will use it to go after Obama and hopefully help McCain into the WH. This ain't over yet. $70 million can buy lots of hate.

My guess is though that even after Coulter opens the box. the other blowhards won't actually use the words, but will suggest them, nudge nudge, wink wink.

GravatarAt what point will it dawn on the journamalists that Obama will win, and that they need to start sucking up to him?

I strongly suspect that when it's apparent--even to them--that he's going to win, they're really gonna start sharpening their knives.

Clinton was the least Democratic president we've had in a long, long time, and the press happily passed on every bit of scurrilous trivia about him that came their way (paying attention, Jeff Gerth?).

Any Democrat is going to get the treatment.

GravatarU.S. Winning the Iraq War that Seemed Lost


HuffPo has a transcipt of Katie Couric's interview with Obama, apparently she is genuinely baffled (and assures him that the nation as a whole is "scratching their heads") over the fact that he won't admit the surge worked. I have vague memories of a pre-Today Show KC being a real reporter.

This is probably right, but then they're gonna get the treatment right back.

It was no accident that Ryan Lizza who penned the Obama piece for the New Yorker found himself without a seat on the Obama plane last week. Team Obama is sending a little chin music out to the gang at bat.

GravatarFrank Rich does have a way with words though. I don't know of anyone who can "dis" so nicely, really.

Yeah, but anyone he picks will piss off some group If I were McCain, I'd pick her and I'd do it now so that if Obama picked a woman he'd look like a copy cat and if he didn't pick a woman it would piss off women.


Gravatar'Anbar Awakening' wasn't even in the vocabulary of the left until the last 10 days. You guys are in trouble and you need to start fighting back.


GravatarI honestly think that McCain needs to pick a woman to win, but if he does, he will lose.

(Must be a joy to be a Conservative Asshole Republican)

To placate the women and more reasonable - if there are any - members of the neanderthal party a woman makes sense. I still think that this Carly Fiorina is the one, btw.

But there is a not insignificant portion of the party that believes that women should not be meddling in men's work. So, if he asks a woman to be VP, he will lose these.

Such a joy to be a Republican.

I remember at the press conference announcing her hiring, she said one of her daughters encouraged her to take the job, since it was a big step for women (to which Connie Chung and Barbara Walters said, Yeah, it was...). Katie thought that kind of rhetoric was so quaint. "Who knew I was raising such a little feminist! I was, like, "Helen Reddy! Hello!"


GravatarI'm still holding out hope that McCain goes with Heather Wilson.

Maybe Kay Bailey Hutchinson, if I were wingnutted.


GravatarActually, she's already toast. She lost the June primary to Stevan Pearce

Oh that's right! And she was the hand-picked replacement for Domenici, groomed to replace him.

And, as we all know, Domenici and Wilson personally involved themselves in getting the NM attorney general fired.

Is climate scepticism the new flat Earth theory?

Climate-change conspiracy theorists are having a field day.

A newsletter of the American Physical Society has published an article by the notorious climate sceptic Christopher Monckton and the climate blogs are alive with speculation.

The editors have received comments comparing their apparent doubt of anthropogenic climate change to the delusions of people who think the Earth is flat.

This comes just eight months after making a very public statement that the society agrees with the IPCC's findings that "emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth's climate".

In his article, Monckton argues that global temperatures are, in fact, dropping, and that "even if they were rising", solar activity "may have been chiefly responsible".

The RealClimate blog, written by respected climate scientists, does a good job of explaining why the article is flawed...

GravatarObama Dazzles Old Europe While McCain Cries "No Mas!"

http:// www.informationclearingho...rticle20363.htm

Here is a sample:
McCain is the perfect candidate for a party that has completely collapsed. He's like the "Jolly Roger" on the front of an iodine bottle; Brand X. In 2000, the Republican Party boasted it was the "party of ideas". What ideas? The Republican Party has never had ideas because the corporate mandarins and blue-blooded kleptocrats that run the party are suspicious of ideas, ideology, doctrine, philosophy or anything else that veers from their primary objectives of crushing the poor, despoiling the environment, carpet-bombing brown people wherever they may be, and enriching themselves. That's all they care about. The task of the right-wing think-tanks is to treat "war and tax cuts" like they're ideas. They're not. But war and tax cuts ARE the two foundation blocks of the Republican Party. There's nothing else; there never has been. Don't look for ideas; there aren't any.

GravatarAl Qaeda in Iraq were just as responsible for any "success" and they as much as admitted it. They acknowledged their tactics of indiscriminate killing were alienating the population. As bad as the occupation is, most Iraqis would rather side with America than al-Qaeda. Hence the shift in focus back to Afghanistan. AQI blew it. America comes off benefitting because of the political fallout over AQI's overplaying their hand.

I would like to see hard-hitting advertisements on my TV taking the Republicans and Shameless McLame to task for:

1. Impugning anyone's character for making political pawns over the wounded troops when the Republicans have done such a poor job of caring for them in theater - citing the 16 who have been killed by shoddy electrical work, the hundreds sickened by poor sanitary conditions, the hundreds killed because proper equipment was not provided in time - and the miserable aftercare that continues to this fucking DAY!

2. Calling McLame's name and his policies out as being out of touch and basically insane when it comes to the complexity of the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. (If you need help, see JMM for his timeline and the quotes located there)

3. Acquaint America with the fact that we are now on the hook for 3 TRILLION dollars for this war, 1.3 TRILLION dollars for the banking crisis, and we have no means to pay for this because we have sent all of our jobs overseas and the Republicans continue to rape our economy to pay their rich friends.

4. The Republicans have stopped two measures that would have significantly reduced energy prices this week: releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and closing the Enron loophole for Oil Futures Trading. And BEAT THEM OVER THE HEAD REPEATEDLY UNTIL THEY FUCKING BLEED.
