Criminy, Atrios is emptying out his bag before the conference
this weekend will be no fun
He's hopped up on Eschacon Excitement!
Muqtada al-Sadr Runs Barter Town
how long before the Bush regime starts saying (again) that the terra-ists are trying to influence our elections?
We will gladly accept your surrender a week from Tuesday.

Oh, c'mon, give 'em a whole FU
Yeah, well, it's gonna be pretty easy to score "first"'s etc with ninety percent of the gang en route to Philadelphia, leaving a few bozos (incl. yours truly) to hold down the electronic fort.
(grumble.)
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
harrumph...that was a lesser pony.

Who runs Funky Town?
Wait, so we first give them weapons, and then buy them back?
US-led forces joined the battle for the first time overnight, bombing Shia positions
Well, we've clearly chosen a side (the one most closely linked to Iran).

Someone I definitely do not want to see in a chainmail miniskirt
So, is that law student letter satire or what? Cause it seems to make no fucking sense whatsoever.
Yes, and parts of it are very funny.
Taking the long view, he realizes that history will view the war in Iraq not as a colossal failure, but merely as a learning experience that can be analyzed to make sure future attempts at imposing democracy through the application of outside force will be successful. Forget that the money we’re likely to spend on the war could have instead 1) made Social Security solvent for 50 years or 2) established a permanent colony of dingoes on Mars (much cooler).

But who runs Funky Town?
We will bleed the enemy white!
"All those who have heavy and intermediate weapons are to deliver them to security sites
"I (state your name) ..."
This shit is crazy.

You demeaning my accomplishment, son?
Who runs Funky Town?
jac
I think they're on Electric Avenue
Dame Nancy should call on Congress to condemn such news, which only serves to demoralize our brave troops.
Funky beverage to jac.
Can Holden turn in ponies for money?
What bonehead thought up this tactic? "Kindly turn in the weapons you're using to kick our asses." I'm sure they're getting a LOT of response.
It's really extraordinary that Bush still has 28% or whatever think he's OK.
I mean, next Jan 20th, what's it gonna be, 19% or something? It's astonishing that people are so imprisoned by their ideas.
This guy is, hands down, the single worst individual in US history to hold national office. Not even Joe McCarthy was so destructive of the body politic.
177-whatever "Don't fire till you see the whites of their eyes"
2007-Shoot the brown ones!
Maliki then added, "The white zone is for loading and unloading only."
Iraq's government has extended by 10 days a deadline for Shia militiamen fighting troops in the southern city of Basra to hand over their weapons.
Uh huh.
What bonehead thought up this tactic? "Kindly turn in the weapons you're using to kick our asses." I'm sure they're getting a LOT of response.
"...and maybe we'll let you be our Vice-President"
"Stop, or I shall say 'stop' again"

you can recognize me at the hotel...I am wearing my:
"He aint my president" button.
the only good thing about the 2004 election; I didnt have to take it off.
When do we start evacuating the Embassy in Baghdad?

Then you better make sure that chain-mail mini is grounded.
Unfortunately I've got too much work piled up to spend a weekend in Philadelphia. Where do we register for Eschacon '09?

Gromit, I did not mean to disparage your accomplishment. But several minutes after the sheets went up, I ambled along, and yours was the only comment.
If The Kenosha Kid, for example, is somewhere at 30,000 feet, he is unlikely to be scoring down here, no?
"Maliki then added, "The white zone is for loading and unloading only."
awesome.

I did a study of this question once, and the only comparables I came up with was Woodrow Wilson.
Harding wasn't even close......

Kind of like suggesting a candidate who leads in the delegate count to drop out.

When I pick up visiting scientists (who I've not previously met) at the airport, we are instantly recognizable to one another.
I have a feeling Atriots are going to be the same. It might be more challenging to check in without being recognized.

Iraqi militia: We weren't born yesterday.
More than 130 people have been killed and 350 injured since a clampdown on militias began in Basra on Tuesday.
US-led forces joined the battle for the first time overnight, bombing Shia positions, the UK military said.
This sounds so much nicer when chirped by a news bimbo.

Yup, you're talking about an officeholder that combines the worst aspects of Coolidge, Hoover, Reagan, McCarthy, D'Amato, Nixon, and Marie Antoinette.
We could do away with the Executive Branch completely, and still do better.
Iraqi militia: We weren't born yesterday.

Iraqia militia: We're holding out for $8 extra per share, just like Bear Stearns.
Basically the Truce agreement gave al Sadr's group time to rearm itself and come out strong.
Our guys are sitting ducks. What the hell.
Of course, everyone will be able to recognize me.
A statement from Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's office read: "All those who have heavy and intermediate weapons are to deliver them to security sites and they will be rewarded financially. This will start from March 28 to April 8."
And as long as we have you here, how about taking a tour of our brand new video game room?
If The Kenosha Kid, for example, is somewhere at 30,000 feet, he is unlikely to be scoring down here, no?

Good point, my esteemed colleague.
I have to give a lecture (on RNA tertiary structure) at 10:00, then am off to pry Dr Mrs Gromit away from her clinic en route to Philly.
It's snowing steadily, so prospects for getting to the evening gathering may be dim.
I have a feeling Atriots are going to be the same. It might be more challenging to check in without being recognized.
Gromit, venal acolyte

they'll be the ones who talk too much!
I got an email last night from an Atriot offering me a ride to Eschacon so I'll be there after all. 
a pile of business men here and a convention of serious sales types going off to a meeting wearing neck tags including two guys carrying those big round tubes you stuff shit in so you can do your display before the folks with the flip charts take over the meeting.
a smattering of women.

Will you be wearing a shirt with torn sleeves so everyone can see the secret cult brand on your shoulder?
Yup, you're talking about an officeholder that combines the worst aspects of Coolidge, Hoover, Reagan, McCarthy, D'Amato, Nixon, and Marie Antoinette.
Yup.
I decided even Kaiser Bill wasn't competitive with Bushie - after a moments inspection, he looked like a goddam mousy liberal............
Maybe Ben Butler..........

so the guys in the suits and ties are with interfex--a convention of folks who make manufacturing equipment for the pharmaceutical industy.

What's tackier -- to be asleep in your own vomit, or someone else's?

Well, not to be a nattering nabob of negativism, but it appears that Iraq is about to fall apart completely.
Boy, that surge thing worked a treat.
While it is overwhelmingly likely that the economy (or what little is left of it) will be the dominant topic for election '08, Iraq may prove quite a bit more potent than certain (*cough* Rahm *cough*) captains of the Democratic cause might have thought.
Yup, you're talking about an officeholder that combines the worst aspects of Coolidge, Hoover, Reagan, McCarthy, D'Amato, Nixon, and Marie Antoinette.
Oh, and I forgot.
You're SLANDERING Hoover.
He was at least a competent engineer, and meant well.
Main fault was that he didn't know how to lie effectively to the American People after the Crash.
If he had, who knows? Maybe we'd never have had a Depression at all! (.....oops.....SHUT UP Ben!)

Bill Clinton would be preferable. Or Bill Cosby. Or Buffalo Bill. Or Mister Bill.
Al-Maliki's office also announced Friday that it has given residents in Basra until April 8 to turn over "heavy and medium-size weapons" in return for unspecified monetary compensation.
The deadline is separate from the three-day ultimatum for gunmen to surrender their arms and renounce violence or face harsher measures, which expires later Friday, government adviser Sadiq al-Rikabi said.
The move instead appeared to be aimed at noncombatants who may have weapons like machine-guns and grenade launchers either for smuggling purposes or to sell to militants or criminal gangs.
So is the ultimatum still in effect or not? Suppose the gunmen pose as noncombatants just so they sell off their old WWI weapons?

I had assumed PowerPoint had replaced flip charts and tubes. Figured they'd all be carrying MacAirs in inter-office envelopes by now....
I really agree that Iraq appears to be disintegrating. I wonder if the chimp0 is stamping his feet and all upset that he cant hand this shit off, like he and kkarl planned.
just desserts, perhaps.
Nouri al-Maliki = Nguyen Van Thieu

But don't they need those guns to protect their freedom? To like, you know, have guns?
I'm beginning to wonder if Iraq really is a democracy after all....
a black middle-aged guy just went by in a spiffy yankees hat.
Wt and the NYers will feel at home.

Can't you see that I'm on a WW1 era kick?
It's in honor of the forward looking stance of our GOPer nominee to be.......

SHHH!
Dishonest John has been looking for Dicke Berthe for awhile now!
WW1 weapons are HAWT!
Unbelievable video of militias in Basra who have somehow commandeered a US Humvee and decorated in with as Sadr posters and Arabic.
How in the world can ANYONE say we're making fantastic progress or that this is a fantastic phase?

How much do we get for turning in O'Hanlon and Lieberman? They're light weapons, I understand, but still...
If you don't stop that RIGHT NOW, I'm going to have to give you more time.
And I mean it!

"..and they will be rewarded financially. They will then be shot or imprisoned".

Leave Joseph Lieberman alone!
