This year, severely jet lagged, I forgot my daughter's birthday until a day later. It cost.
Happy Birthday/Anniversary? I've been enjoying the suckiness since 2004. Thanks!
Hey, kid, rock 'n' roll, rock on.
One's all you need.

missing someone special's birthday is a HUGE NO No.
contrition, submission, and massive overcompensation, in that order.
Whoa.
Happy blogiversary, man!
Uncle Blodge, I have them all in an Excel spreadsheet.
I've got a lot of siblings, nieces, nephews, and now a grandbaby, along with a fair number of friends.
"missing someone special's birthday is a HUGE NO No."
done it a lot.
My kids know I never remember b days so they don't give a shit when i forget theirs.

Please please please is there any way to turn off the John McCain ad that keeps showing up just below the first post? I mean, he's my senator, why would I want to keep looking at his ugly mug??????
SMERCONISH: Look, I don’t get invited out anywhere. You do, Chris. … I’m grilling burgers in an hour in Philly. But let me ask you something. Isn’t this a violation of the dinner code? Isn’t this like a hooker who gives up a john? I mean, isn’t there some impropriety here?
MATTHEWS: I used to love that rule, that when you’re out having fun with each other, you weren’t sitting there with radios, you weren’t quoting them, you weren’t going to screw them in the morning. That’s the world I like to live in. But I have learned, everything you say can be used against you.
Thick soup.
I never remember birthdays.

Uncle Blodge, Urban Teacher
I've made sure that no anniversary nor birthday is that important. My kids get a family party that can be weeks or months from the actual date.
I dislike those people who burst into tears at the forgetting of such dates. If it's that so fucking important, tell the person.
I have also been reading since 2004. I was anxious about polls the summer before the election and somehow ended up here.
Fat lot of good it did any of us.
We do not celebrate birthdays. We just celebrate more on New Year's.

Same here...came by way of Counterspin....
McCain deferred when pressed on whether he was familiar with Christie — a federal prosecutor appointed by President Bush — or Christie’s work. “I know it’s been good,” he said. “I’m certainly not familiar with the political environment here.”
Chris Christie, McCain has your back.

I wandered in here via TPM or Buzzflash. I read for a while until I felt brave enough to comment. Somebody responded and that was it.
Except for making a few blunders and trying to puzzle out a few in jokes, it has been a wonderful and supportive community... foul mouthed, passionate, and obsessive about bacon...

I think I was a loyal Kossack when I heard Atrios had got his start there. Checked this place out....Now the Orange Satan just seems a little too-I dunno-Noisy?
I've been here for four years, I think.
Amazing how this place has changed and enriched my life. Seriously, at the risk of going all gooey -- Atrios may not even know what he's done for a lot of people...
Believe me, I wanted to forget my birthday this year.
And I don't particularly want to remember this one in the future.
I think I'll postpone celebrating until my wife's birthday this August... things should be a little rosier by then...

A lot of people were hanging out at Salon during the aftermath of the 2000 election theft.
I can never remember how long I've been here, but it was pretty close to the beginning.
Read that famous "Atrios at the bookstore in So. Cal." piece at Smirking Chimp, IIRC.
"Do you remember how you found the place?"

Cats on treadmills is my new favorite thing.
I linked here through a reference from a MSNBC blog from the 2004 Dem Convention. Something about "who is Atrios?"
oh, hoss. you suck, and you're going to pay. flowers won't be enough, not by a long shot. 
i lurked in this sucky blog for a couple of years starting back around 2004 before i began boring y'all and annoying atrios with my own sucky posts.
dug finding some folks that made my own twisted political mind feel at ease. well most of the time, anyway.

I always read a lot of BartCop. I'd heard of Atrios, the mysterious blogger over there.
After the 2002 election debacle, I wandered over here. There must have been a saucer of milk on the porch or something as I never left...
...and I missed my bloggiversary.
It was on May 4th, 2006, that OBI first went online to satirize the now-defunct Online-Integrity.
Way to go, Tacitus.
I don't know where I first Eschaton, but I'm glad I clicked the link.

I think I've been here since early spring, 2004. A link from Buzzflash brought me.
I go back probably to 2003 or 2004...
Have no idea of the dates involved, but I know that I first became aware of Atrios via a VF Wolcott column. And that I first posted on the day that gay marriage became legal in MA - something along the lines of "Well, I drove into Davis Square this morning, waiting for the sky to fall..."

I remember that Greg Palast had a lot of people at Salon and then DU helping him investigate voter rolls purges, and so on.
I used to post at Salon under a different name. That was such a long time ago.

Rice blasts Hizbullah for "killing innocent civilians" in Lebanon
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday said Hizbullah, backed by Syria and Iran, is killing and injuring innocent civilians in Lebanon. Rice added that the Shiite movement is trying to protect its "state-within-a-state." Her statement was read at a State Department briefing Friday.
According to Rice, Hizbullah's violence has demonstrated "contempt for its fellow Lebanese."
She urged Iran and Syria to end their support for Hizbullah. "This support is a reflection of our unshakable commitment to the Lebanese people and their hope for democratic change," Rice said. "We will stand by the Lebanese government and peaceful citizens of Lebanon through this crisis and provide the support they need to weather this storm."

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanon's Iranian-backed Hezbollah group took control of the Muslim half of Beirut on Friday in what the U.S.-backed governing coalition called "an armed and bloody coup".
The United States pointed to Hezbollah's links with Tehran and Damascus and said it was talking with other powers about taking measures against "those responsible for the violence".
At least 18 people have been killed and 38 wounded in three days of battles between pro-government gunmen and fighters loyal to Hezbollah, a Shi'ite movement with a powerful guerrilla army.
The violence follows 17 months of political deadlock between the Hezbollah-led opposition, which demands more say in government, and the ruling coalition. It has paralyzed the country and left it without a president.
Lebanon's worst internal strife since the 1975-90 civil war erupted this week after the government decided to dismantle Hezbollah's military communications network. The group said the government had declared war.
In scenes reminiscent of the civil war, men with rifles roamed the streets amid smashed cars and smoldering buildings.
Fighting died down as outgunned government supporters, many of them supporters of Sunni leader Saad al-Hariri, handed over their weapons and offices to the army, which has tried to remain neutral in the conflict.

Our republican neighbors were telling me today that they might vote for obama. They are among the group of mystery republicans who always vote republican even though they hate religious nuts, don't like the war, and are upset about the police state. Yet, since they started voting in Reagan's election, they have never considered a democrat.
The whole process is very resistant to easy analysis.

Fighting died down as outgunned government supporters ... handed over their weapons
and offices to the army, which has tried to remain neutral in the
conflict.
Know why the Army is trying to remain neutral? Firstly, it knows Hizbullah can and will kick its ass. Secondly, the Army openly admires Hizbullah for kicking Israel's ass. Thirdly, the Army isn't going to dismantle Hizbullah on behalf of Lebanon's gangster official leaders in part because Israel wwill re-invade the second that happens, because everyone knows Hizbullah offers a deterrant and the "real" Army does not. Hurting their logical enemy but actual big brother is the last thing they want.

Cov...t_covered_songs
The Beatles' "Yesterday" is often called the most covered song in popular music history; some allege there are over three thousand different versions, although no evidence has been provided. An online cover song database lists a little over a hundred covers for the song,[21] but places Eleanor Rigby as being more covered than it.[22] The Beatles' "Come Together" has also been covered numerous times. It has been documented that "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum has been covered over 800 times.[23]George Gershwin's "Summertime" (from Porgy and Bess) is considered a standard (see jazz standard) so has been performed in enough versions that an accurate number might be difficult to ascertain. Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" (from the film Holiday Inn) is well known for having been covered, and what is more a popular hit record, numerous times. According to one estimate "Cry Me a River", written by Arthur Hamilton, had 115 cover versions. [24] The 1973 song Radar Love by Golden Earring has been recorded over 350 times[25] and has appeared in many TV shows, movies and even video games. One of the most famous folk songs which has been covered more than 250 times[1][2] is "House of the rising sun". It has been covered by famous artists like Bob Dylan, The Animals, Nina Simone, Eric Burdon [3][4] [5]
Other songs which have been released many times as cover versions include "Popcorn" by Gershon Kingsley (which has been covered over 200 times,[26]) "Rock Around the Clock",[27],, "Eres Tú" by Mocedades, [28]"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland, "Blue Monday" (New Order), "Louie Louie" (Richard Berry), "Sunny" (Bobby Hebb), "Fever" (Otis Blackwell),"Across the Universe" (The Beatles), "Baby It's You" (The Shirelles), "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" (Jimmy Webb), "Helter Skelter" (The Beatles), "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" (Bob Dylan), "Twist and Shout" (Isley Brothers), "We Will Rock You" (Queen), "Besame Mucho" (Consuelo Velázquez), "Free Bird" (Lynyrd Skynyrd), "When I Fall In Love" (Doris Day), "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (Joy Division), "Stardust" (Bing Crosby), "Garota de Ipanema" (Tom Jobim/Vinicius de Moraes), "Feelings" (Morris Albert), "No Woman No Cry" (Bob Marley & the Wailers), "Dirty Old Town" (Ewan MacColl), "I Fought the Law" (Sonny Curtis), "Axel F" (Harold Faltermeyer), "Roll Over Beethoven" (Chuck Berry), "How Deep Is Your Love" (The Bee Gees), "Something" (The Beatles), "Missing You" (John Waite), "Soul Man" (Sam & Dave) and many of the less recent works of Bob Dylan (such as "Knocking on Heaven's Door" and "All Along the Watchtower") "Paranoid" (Black Sabbath) and Leonard Cohen (as of December 5, 2004, there were at least 940 published cover versions of Cohen songs.[29]) The Australian television program The Money or the Gun featured for every episode a new cover of Stairway to Heaven, played in versions ranging from a Wagnerian opera to a Bea

So let's recap the scene: the US military and its Iraqi "allies" are laying siege to a sprawling neighborhood in Baghdad housing roughly 2.5 million Iraqis, launching air strikes, artillery attacks, tank shells and other assorted ordnance, shutting down hospitals and bombing others, cutting off the supply of food and walling off entire sectors of the embattled region, causing a refugee crisis by their actions - and now actually pursuing a policy with the intent of creating a larger refugee crisis!

McClatchy does some digging into the source of those "Obama is a secret muslim" emails we all love so much:
One practitioner in Virginia, who hates Obama like a dog hates cats, led a reporter through his efforts. Because the man is a retired clandestine CIA officer, identifying him could endanger officers or operations that remain classified, so McClatchy will not reveal his name.
In late 2006, convinced that an Obama presidency would be disastrous for America, he decided to start an anti-Obama operation. He combed the public record on Obama. He used a couple of allies and informants - half-jokingly dubbing his group "The Crusaders" - to learn about Obama's background, especially his Africa connection and how he came to be the editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Republicans Vote Against Moms; No Word Yet on Puppies, Kittens
By Dana Milbank
Friday, May 9, 2008; A03
It was already shaping up to be a difficult year for congressional Republicans. Now, on the cusp of Mother's Day, comes this: A majority of the House GOP has voted against motherhood.
On Wednesday afternoon, the House had just voted, 412 to 0, to pass H. Res. 1113, "Celebrating the role of mothers in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Mother's Day," when Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), rose in protest.
"Mr. Speaker, I move to reconsider the vote," he announced.
Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), who has two young daughters, moved to table Tiahrt's request, setting up a revote. This time, 178 Republicans cast their votes against mothers.
It has long been the custom to compare a popular piece of legislation to motherhood and apple pie. Evidently, that is no longer the standard. Worse, Republicans are now confronted with a John Kerry-esque predicament: They actually voted for motherhood before they voted against it.
Republicans, unhappy with the Democratic majority, have been using such procedural tactics as this all week to bring the House to a standstill, but the assault on mothers may have gone too far. House Minority Leader John Boehner, asked yesterday to explain why he and 177 of his colleagues switched their votes, answered: "Oh, we just wanted to make sure that everyone was on record in support of Mother's Day."
By voting against it?
If Boehner's explanation doesn't make much sense, he's been under a great deal of stress lately.

The A's of the early 70's made you want to watch baseball. They were colorful as can be.
And the cool thing is, they went up against the Big Red Machine of Pete Rose and Johnny Bench (also an unbelievably great catcher name).

but then it is a lot like having a favorite verse from the Holy Bible.
"And if thy dog shall do evil in thine eyes, thou shalt desend upon it with the fire of justice until it be consumed with thy righteous wrath"

Damn she was great.
I saw her at the Women's Building (whatever the hell that meant) of the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. I'll never forget it.
The A's/Reds World Series of 1972 was as good as baseball gets.

The secrets to the success of the Israeli hardliners are (1) these people are fucking gangsters and there is nothing they will stop at, (2) they own huge pieces of everything either by simply owning it or through blackmailing schemes (brothels, etc), and (3) the Israeli government is literally expressly designed to give them disproportionate power. Mythical outside bigotry
is a club for them to use to scare other Jews, but it has no real meaning or advantage to them. Lev Leviev neither dominated the diamond game nor destroyed innocent lives in some kind of reaction to illiterate and easily stopped skinheads.

sallyh - Hello!!
"The idiocy of Terry McAuliffe"
yup. i have no problem with obama making a token gesture of VP to hrc to assuage their gigantic egos.
offer her the spot, but with these provisions: bill doesn't get within 50 yards of an intern and is not allowed in the WH unsupervised. he goes back to NY and keeps his yap shut.
she gets rid of all her shitheel lackies. they are allowed nowhere near the WH. her duties as VP will consist of going to funerals and third world countries. her job will be to repeat obama's policies and thoughts, not hers.
Feral, how the hell are you?
under the caption of "The Can's Film Festival."
so nice. it had to be said twice.
Israel officially has no borders, because they hope to grab more. The functional border of the "real" Israel is the Green Line. They could have this, written in stone, right now if they did certain things they will never do.
Hi, Sallyh. I discovered the Whiskey Bar about the same time, probably thru Eschaton. It was good to realize there were other people like me out there who weren't buying the crap either.
War With Iran Might Be Closer Than You Think
Posted on May 9th, 2008 by Philip Giraldi
There is considerable speculation and buzz in Washington today suggesting that the National Security Council has agreed in principle to proceed with plans to attack an Iranian al-Qods-run camp that is believed to be training Iraqi militants... The White House contacted the Iranian government directly yesterday through a channel provided by the leadership of the Kurdish region in Iraq, which has traditionally had close ties to Tehran. The US demanded that Iran admit that it has been interfering in Iraq and also commit itself to taking steps to end the support of various militant groups. There was also a warning about interfering in Lebanon. The Iranian government reportedly responded quickly, restating its position that it would not discuss the matter until the US ceases its own meddling employing Iranian dissident groups. The perceived Iranian intransigence coupled with the Lebanese situation convinced the White House that some sort of unambiguous signal has to be sent to the Iranian leadership, presumably in the form of cruise missiles.

There's a lot to be said for being born at the right time.
VP HRC, don't think so. But the immenent likelyhood of Obama being the nominee puts me one step closer to one of my great revenge fantasies: both Hillary and Big Dog on the Supreme Court.
Bwaaaaahahahah!!

If you are worried about Obamiacs that have drank the coolaide, do not read this diary of his visit to Oregon.
When Obama approached the people ringing the track, their eyes widened, girls shrieked and people nearly trembled. This must have been what the Beatles felt like.

It's funny...I've never been able to listen to her. It's partially her shambles of a band, but beyond that she's just too screechy for me.

"Add some special punishment for that miserable hack, Lanny Davis."
yup. the last thing obama needs is to have them contaminate his WH with their bullshit.
she gets rid of all her shitheel lackies. they are allowed nowhere near the WH.
I want him to not offer it under any circumstances. She just might accept, and the Clintons are just not backseat people. It would be a disaster all the way around . . .

These next few weeks will define Hillary more than they will Obama.

You must've been on some horrible business trip, or just been passing through. It's actually really pretty nice...great food, nice architecture, and the mountains are gorgeous.
Granted, like a lot of the desert west, it's best appreciated in the morning or at dusk...
Hi, ErinPDX. I got to Buzzflash eventually. Heck, in 2004 I was like a kid in a candy store after finding the political blogs. I'd found my peeps!
BartCop linked me to this orgy.
The secrets to the success of the Israeli hardliners are (1) these people are fucking gangsters and there is nothing they will stop at,
That makes them fucking unique.
Lacking the deep moral principles that guide world leaders like Cheney or Hu Jintao or the kind hearted Sarkozy or Putin, they really stand out.
Two things from FE I truly wish had been recorded live. Quicksilver doing "Mona" - fantastic stuff from the drummer and the Whole Paul Butterfield Band gig - most of the songs are on the "In My Own Dream" album, but they just went all-out that night.
I'm feeling better, at any rate
Glad to hear that!

Setting is nowhere near as pleasant at Fanta Se, but the city is much more interesting - although it has an impressive level of violence.
Anyway, the most horrible major city is Indianapolis, hands down. Not a single good thing about it, except that it keeps the awful people who live there from moving somewhere halfway decent. It's like America's lymph node.

Obama really is a Kennedy-like phenomenon. People who aren't normally political are turned on to a real chance at real change, and even jaded political people are idealistic again.
