I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
guess they ran out of medals of freedom:
On Tuesday, while “wildfires raged” in California, FEMA staged a live press conference at which agency staffers posed as journalists and asked softball questions. One of those staffers, Director of External Affairs John “Pat” Philbin, has now resigned. He has instead landed an “amazing opportunity” to head public affairs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Smart move.
Five months after returning from Iraq, Ryan Kahlor's speech is no longer slurred, and the worst of the numbness along one side of his body has receded. "But he is different from when he went out there," said his father, Tim.
"He has to write things down to remember them, not regular things like remembering to buy a loaf of bread. It's the things that he needs to do that would be just second nature to you or I. He's really having a difficult time."
Sergeant Kahlor, 23, served 24 months in Iraq with the First Armoured division of the US army, returning most recently in May. He saw friends and colleagues killed, the memories of which cause such flashbacks that he has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He also sustained a serious back injury after falling off a building. But it is the four separate bomb blasts he was caught up in, while travelling in Bradley armoured fighting vehicles, which he believes are responsible for the lasting problems.

He's got a kidney stone; and the surgery didn't get it out.
He's the best artist I've ever met. He just did this illustration of Frida Kahlo for the Village-owned weekly City Pages.
He said that he's on more pain killers than Rush.

Human race will 'split into two different species'
By NIALL FIRTH
The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.
I think this has already happened. For examples of dimwitted, ugly goblin-like creatures, see photos of any Young Republican get-together.

So today I went to a conference on food & justice, feeding the hungry, sustaining the earth, etc., etc., put on by a partnership of a Catholic college, a Lutheran college, and a hospital. It was an excellent conference, if you like that kind of thing, and I got a lot out of it.
Except one thing. We're all standing in line for lunch and I'm chatting with the lady next to me -- an older lady from a rural area who works for some low-key pro-life thing I've never heard of. When she found out I'm Catholic she glommed onto me like a long-lost soulmate -- assuming that I'm obedient to all the pope's teachings, which goes to show how little she knows of Catholic life in the real world. And she sighs, Oh, it's so good to talk to someone like this, I have to be careful what I say in my work.
And I'm thinking, Jeez, lady, don't assume every Catholic is like the ones in your own back yard -- but I can't be rude to an old lady. And hell, there was nothing to be gained by setting her straight, and nothing was going to change her point of view -- so all I could do was make polite noises and then disengage as soon as I could. (Oh, scuse me, I'm going to hang up this jacket before I trail it in the salad dressing. I'll catch up to you later.)
But damn, that was infuriating. And she kept looking for me the rest of the day.
You know, the spouse and I were talking at dinner last night that this topic is going to poison our political discourse as far out in the future as the eye can see -- everybody's minds are made up and there's no middle ground. People can't even talk about it. There's no way people can even have a conversation about it. I have no idea how this is going to change, but something's got to give somewhere.

Tipping the Velvet is a 1998 lesbian novel written by Sarah Waters, set in the Victorian era. It was her debut novel. It tells the story of Nancy Astley, an oyster girl from the English town of Whitstable, who falls in love with a male impersonator and stage performer named Kitty Butler. The book, like the rest of Waters' novels, has a strong lesbian theme, though Tipping the Velvet in particular deals very candidly with the topic of lesbian sex and desire along with the role that economic class can play in oppression

Watching the Quill awards (Colbert was on), and the charity, First Book, was just discussed. Video of teacher saying she asked kids to bring in a book to school, and some kids brought the phone book because it was only book in their home. So, the point of the organization is to make sure kids from "unbooked" homes get some books. Some study showed that if kids have books around their reading skills improve dramatically.
Since we're a pretty bookish group, and lots of us have contact with young kids in some way, we probably have access to unused books which can be donated.
Sounds like a good thing.

jawbone,
That's a great cause. Our firm has an elementary school that we've "adopted" and they get all my extra books.
I was listening to Christmas carols the other day. It's getting dark so early that the only thing I can do to cope is think about baking and wrapping presents.

me too.
Moonbootica, I love your comments. You seem like my second daughter. Glad you're here.
Good evening. It was damn wet in NY today, I'll tell you that.
"What's So Great About Christianity?"
Oh, DOG!
Some of the heaviest fighting in months has broken out between Ethiopian forces and local insurgents in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.
Residents said that at least 10 people had been killed amid shell and machine-gun fire as the Ethiopian forces launched an offensive.
Somalia has seen a surge in violence since Ethiopian-backed government troops ousted Islamists last December.
Hundreds of civilians have been killed in the fighting.

Ack, slanties, again.
UPDATE 4:10 PM, Pacific — Britney Spears made a brief exit from court just moments ago. The pop singer stormed out of the courtroom in an agitated state. She was yelling, “Eat it! Lick it! Snort it! F*** it!”
Fortunately for Britney, the petulant three year old threw an even bigger conniption in DC the same day.
Athenae, baking is tremendously therapeutic.
A warm apple crisp won't solve the world's ills, but it does wonders for the spirit. And you get to eat the end product
I don't want to get into it but it was here. I thought seriously about never coming here again. (As so many people have left.) But I am here and what I have said is all I will say.

Pity I didn't have any weaponry.

Actually it's just as well. I don't know what shape our bail fund is in, and the Atriot contingent to the Boston march haven't checked in yet.

The summer musical fare is usually Joplin and It's A Small World. I've never heard christmas carols from an ice cream truck. It just seems so very ... wrong.
the petulant three year old threw an even bigger conniption in DC the same day.
I must have missed this (damned working for a living!) What happened?
Athenae, I really like a lot of the Christmas carols. Christmas, not so much.
I'd adopt Moonbo in a heartbeat.
Hitchens on.

I need to get more dogwoods. Forgot they turn a lovely shade of red in the fall.

Yow. Well, I for one am glad of your company, both of you.
I was in York just yesterday.
Hey!
I feel bad for Britney, too, actually. She's almost certainly had some kind of mental break, and the access to drugs and lack of reinforcement for good behavior ... I'm not excusing her or saying she's not responsible, but ... There but for the grace of several talented doctors and some very good friends, is all.

Religious and anti-abortion groups have been holding a rally to mark 40 years since abortion was legalised.
Activists met at the Houses of Parliament to call for a reduction in the upper time limit for abortion.
They later walked to Westminster Cathedral for a service commemorating 6.7m abortions performed since 1967.
Marie Stopes International said that although abortion rates needed to come down, the 1967 act had made it safer for women to terminate pregnancies.
Terminations
Campaigners against abortion began their protest on Friday night when they projected the number of abortions on to the riverside face of the Houses of Parliament.
In the 40 years since abortion has been legal in Britain, the number of terminations taking place each year has increased from 22,000 to almost 200,000.
However, on Wednesday Health Minister Dawn Primarolo said the government did not believe there is sufficient scientific evidence to lower the legal abortion limit of 24 weeks.

You are a treasure. Ignore the nonsense.
Gore has won, what, Oscar (by association), Emmy, Grammy, Nobel, now Quill?
Plus something from the Sierra Club.
BushBoy will never win any of these--the Supreme Court has not way to intervene....

KO featured it. He whined incessently about how Congress wasn't sending him enough bills to veto, wasn't sending dumptrucks full of money for him to piss away in Iraq, etc.

mer | 10.27.07 - 7:36 pm
I always have fond memories of childhood, putting up the tree and listening to the carols.
I don't have room for a tree, and I'm beginning to miss that. I'm getting terribly nostaligic for those things.
Fuck you, Hitchens. I always knew God was on MY side.
DWD, don't take it personally. While most people here are wonderful, it is, after all, a bit like the neighborhood tavern, and sometimes people's feelings get stepped on.
sittenprettyfarmeress, you're my younger sister, that I never had, as far as I can tell. smooch.
Yow. Well, I for one am glad of your company, both of you.

You are.
And I'll say it again, I love the way you write about the weather, and being in the outdoors of Michigan.
I feel bad for Britney, too, actually
Someone said recently that she's never had what could be considered a normal life for a long time, if ever. She just doesn't know any better. I think tnat's very close to the mark. I do feel sorry for her. And the media seems to be enjoying their pile-on. Won't end well, I'm afraid.
KO featured it. He whined incessently about how Congress wasn't sending him enough bills to veto, wasn't sending dumptrucks full of money for him to piss away in Iraq, etc.
Thanks! It must be rough being W. He leads such a difficult life. I'm sure there are soldiers in Iraq, on their fourth tour of duty, who'd be willing to trade places with him, though.
I like everybody here. That's the reason I stop by...
Nobody ever picks on me here.

Everyone I know is getting assfucked by the universe right now.
I think that means the phase transition is at hand. Find and practice the Pure Dharma of the Mystic Law, and awaken subtle happiness within yourself.
We gotta go thru this, to learn to introspect.
If we don't purify ourselves, who ya think's gonna do it for us?
He has instead landed an “amazing opportunity” to head public affairs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
It's what I call the Reverse Darwin Effect,seen it in retail for years. To wit: the least capable rise to the top...
