did Mr. No EarMarks lie again?
President Bush often denounces the propensity of Congress to earmark money for pet projects. But in his new budget, Mr. Bush has requested money for thousands of similar projects.
Skip to next paragraph
Multimedia
Presidential ProjectsGraphic
Presidential Projects
He asked for money to build fish hatcheries, eradicate agricultural pests, conduct research, pave highways, dredge harbors and perform many other specific local tasks.
The details are buried deep in the president’s budget, just as most Congressional earmarks are buried in obscure committee reports that accompany spending bills.
Thus, for example, the president requested $330 million to deal with plant pests like the emerald ash borer, the light brown apple moth and the sirex woodwasp. He sought $800,000 for the Neosho National Fish Hatchery in Missouri and $1.5 million for a waterway named in honor of former Senator J. Bennett Johnston, a Louisiana Democrat.
At the same time, Mr. Bush requested $894,000 for an air traffic control tower in Kalamazoo, Mich.; $12 million for a parachute repair shop at the American air base in Aviano, Italy; and $6.5 million for research in Wyoming on the “fundamental properties of asphalt.”
Jeeves & Wooster use to be on PBS.

It's a very good blog, no?
The Guardian gig that spun out of it is less good, but that's because he's an unashamed lunk of a geek. As well as being Greatest Living Englishman, natch.
The series he's filming -- visiting every US state in a black cab -- looks like it'll be fun too.

He's WASTED, man!
From below:
It's very important to mention that he did not support Lieberman's independent candidacy, but endorsed and campaigned for Lamont in the general election.
Yep, which is why I think it's obvious that Obama would throw his support behind Clinton, if she were to win the nomination, and would call on his supporters to do likewise. He backed the prowar candidate in the primary, and he backed the party in the general.

the joke ultimately is that the servants are in charge, and much more sophisticated, educated, and "upper class" than those they serve.
And one point is to imply a subtly meritocratic parallel class system, topped off by valets who worked their way up.
Jeeves stories are incredibly difficult to adapt for stage/screen/TV, because the charm of Wodehouse is in his descriptive language, not so much in the dialogue. I think he's the greatest comic writer in English since Shakespeare, greater than Wilde, but then, I'm nobody.... There used to be a vogue for Jeeves and Bertie among the young and entitled in Washington when I lived there circa 1990, but it was, predictably enough, confined to trying to emulate the way Bertie Wooster dressed and enjoying the idea of servants.
"Anyone know if Doug Wilder has made any endorsements?"
dunno, but he spoke earlier and i was disappointed they didn't show it.

There's no doubt Shuster fucked up.. how could any professional talking head decide to go "street" on a major cable news show? It was a stupid, offensive choice of words.
But Hillary actively wants to participate in a debate on the GOP Propaganda Wing, aka FOX News.. where's the outrage over all the shit, the really noxious, intentional and unmistakable shit they've plastered her entire family with for 15+ years?
Holy Shit:
On the Republican side, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee delivered a humiliating defeat to Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) in the Kansas Republican presidential caucuses, and this evening he was leading McCain in the Louisiana contest and running neck and neck with him in Washington state.

Ay yi yi. I've been an Eschatonian since Colin Powell tanked his own chances at a presidential run in front of the UN.
Unlike him, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just speculating on the effectiveness of this latest Clinton play, and I think it has a chance of not spinning out the way they expect. Get over it, jesus.
Damn this is a close primary race so far. Just a handful of delegates are the difference.
Oh, for Chrissakes, give it a fucking rest!

WTF was she thinking agreeing to go on FauxNews?
The people that watch that channel are never going to vote for her.
And then she did it on Super Tuesday.
I don't get it.
Well, I'm suggesting that Obama does not have the establishment support needed to become the nominee.
I've heard it before and think it's just an 'electability' canard that got Left Behind in 2004.
The Dem establishment will fall in line behind the nominee, whether it's Hillary or Obama. (Count me in as well)

Someone posted a quote from McCain earlier tonight about how much John-John just loooooooooves him some Karl Rove.
When I was in high school, the local PBS station used to run "The Prisoner." The best part, though, was after each episode they'd have an "analysis" by some nutty college students from SF State.
My favorite session was the big expanded hour-long extravaganza they did after the final episode of the series. They must have run the scene where #6 unmasks #1 a dozen times over - backwards and in slow motion...
Free State Project in New Hampshire. If he loses his congressional seat, he could move there and try to run for Governor.
I was so hoping he would make a third party run. Split off the wingnut vote and the McCain-haters.

Ben Wallace-Wells's Rolling Stone article on Obama's radical roots has a bit about how Power came to work with Obama in the Senate.
I'm going to go read that link.
What she said was that shortly after Obama was sworn into the Senate she got a call from Obama's office saying that he had read her book on genocide (a Pulitzer Prize winner) and could a meeting be arranged?
The meeting began at 6pm and went on for four or five hours. Power said Obama "interrogated" her about the book at an amazing depth.
She heard herself saying, at some point: "So... can I quit my job at Harvard and come intern in your office?"
And she took a sabbatical and that's exactly what she did.
Now I'll go read your link.
Did I mention that she's really hot? I think she'd be a terrific speaker at EschaCon. Prolly fun to party with, too...

Not worth scratching your head over him.
An informal sampling of Star Trek references here suggests that the Landru episode is by far the greatest, or best known, or most applicable to present circumstances. Probably the latter. (But the president is more like Trelaine, if that is how you spell it).

You're not helping.
I think the Clinton parental units might feel guilty about letting some of the cruel comments the rightwing commentators made about Chelsea when they were in the WH just go by. You know that anybody on the public airwaves that made those kind of comments about Republican children would have been unemployed within 24 hours. So now they will overcompensate by demanding the head of anyone who says anything at all bad about her. But Shuster should be whipped for what he said.
I was googling for info on Obama's mother and it's not easy to find. I was surprised to learn tonight she was teenaged mother, as he put it in his speech.
She was born 11/42, so she was just under the wire for teenage years, just shy of turning 20. He was born 8/4/1961.
Picture of his maternal grandparents with their young daughter, his mother Sydney Ann Dunham. Obama definitely favors Grandfather Dunham.

Bill had a great interview on ME local news the other day about learning a lesson on 'supporting' rather than 'defending' his wife's campaign. That's spot on and exactly the right role for him to play in all this. Hope it stays that way, for the sake of the Party.
You know that anybody on the public airwaves that made those kind of comments about Republican children would have been unemployed within 24 hours.

Thank you so much for that wonderful article.
Well, I'm suggesting that Obama does not have the establishment support needed to become the nominee.
Obama has plenty of establishment support. And if he were to become the nominee, he'd have even more.
How can one possibly avoid concluding that you are consumed with identity politics, or at least the politics of identity? That sucks, as do you. Your continued support of your favorite candidate, who sucks, will ensure that the Party splits, that we lose the election, that cats and dogs will live together, that sexism and racism will endure forever, and that American Cheese – the Cheese of Patriotism – will no longer be available in portions individually and lovingly wrapped in plastic. Thanks a lot, asshole.
Because, after all, what is crucial is that we find exactly the right person in order to shape our movement. What would be stupid (ha!) would be to strive to build a movement that might instead influence our leaders. What on earth could possibly the danger in placing all of our eggs of hopes and dreams for a better life for ourselves and our kids in the basket of a single American Politician? Whenever has one of those people failed us? My favorite candidate, clearly, may be safely trusted to carry that basket into a Better Tomorrow. Your favorite candidate, who sucks, will likely drop the basket, break the eggs, and then fuck the shells.
Oh my god. My candidate sucks!

See.
This is what happens when you answer my very benign, friendly expression, with a very obnoxious, irritating one.
This requires me to be obnoxious and irritating in return.
Now, there is another way you could proceed, and that would be to be a decent human being.
I'm not asking for a "Nite John Boy" or anything like that. Just anything but a smartass remark. Is that asking too much?
The funny thing is, a fellow with a new book about The Teapot Dome Scandal was on TDS with Stewart the other night. At one point he mentioned Daugherty and I could've sworn he pronounced it Doghiney and I laughed my hiney off.
Oh, elias, go take a midol.
"If you were concerned about something going wrong in the world, Stanley would know about it first," said Chip Wall, who described her as "a fellow traveler. . . . We were liberals before we knew what liberals were."
One classmate, Jill Burton-Dascher, said Stanley Ann "was intellectually way more mature than we were and a little bit ahead of her time, in an off-center way."
Bio article about Ann Obama, nee Stanley Ann Dunham, from the ChiTrib.
Their high school class was an in-between generation. The Beat generation had passed, and the 1960s era of protest was yet to begin. Classmates of Dunham -- Wall, Blake, Hunt -- felt they were on the cusp of societal change, the distant early warning of the '60s struggles over civil rights, women's rights and war.
"If you were concerned about something going wrong in the world, Stanley would know about it first," said Chip Wall, who described her as "a fellow traveler. . . . We were liberals before we knew what liberals were."
One classmate, Jill Burton-Dascher, said Stanley Ann "was intellectually way more mature than we were and a little bit ahead of her time, in an off-center way."
SNIP
Stanley Ann began classes at the University of Hawaii in 1960, and shortly after that, Box received a letter saying that her friend had fallen in love with a grad student. He was black, from Kenya and named Obama.
About that same time, another letter crossed the Pacific, this one heading to Africa. It was from Barack Obama Sr. to his mother, Sarah Hussein Onyango Obama. Though the letter didn't go into great detail, it said he had met a young woman named Ann (not Stanley). There wasn't much on how they met or what the attraction was, but he announced their plans to wed.
The Dunhams weren't happy. Stanley Ann's prospective father-in-law was furious. He wrote the Dunhams "this long, nasty letter saying that he didn't approve of the marriage," Obama recounted his mother telling him in "Dreams." "He didn't want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman."
SNIP
Six months after they wed, another letter arrived in Kenya, announcing the birth of Barack Hussein Obama, born Aug. 4, 1961. Despite her husband's continued anger, Sarah Obama said in a recent interview, she "was so happy to have a grandchild in the U.S."

Article about Obama's half sister.
These two also had a little variety show called "A Bit of Fry and Laurie." The pieces of it I've seen were pretty funny.
That's a bit eerie. I've just finished re-watching J&W myself. I saw 'em on ITV back in the early 90s but the missus, being American, hadn't seen 'em.
If you can get the BBC radio Jeeves/Wooster (and Blandings, for that matter) do so. Not Fry/Laurie, but very well done.
Looove Jeeves and Wooster. Makes Hugh Laurie's character in House, so much more remarkable. Both great actors.
What Ho Atrios! I knew that there was a reason that I loved you!!!!!!!!!!!
I say, good job, old scream!
If you're liking Wooster & Jeeves, you've got to become a regular at Bully's blog.
Bully, a little stuffed bull who loves comics (if they're fun!), has a regular feature: A Wodehouse a Week. He's just posted #41, so he's about half-way through all of P.G. Wodehouse's 90-or-so published books.
Really, I can't recommend Bully's blog enough for fans of P.G. Wodehouse. And fun!
I, I must asseverate acerbicly, have never read a single page of Woodhose, not one! I consider the man a spineless invertabrate, a guffin, and about this I am adamant! And when I say "adamant" I mean, well, you know- adamant!
Open source programming? Open dashed blasted source bloody programming?
I was all primed and slavering for some wodehousian wit and wisdom, and I get "the demise of Windows"?
Feh on Fry and goodbye!
Baldrick!
From this picture, it's clearly inevitable that Hugh Laurie would be interviewed by Ryan Seacrest during the Super Bowl pre-game.
