I knew that thread was a goner when I posted this:
Years ago when I was a classical music buyer for Tower records (yeah, I know I've told this story a couple of times) several of my colleagues and I had lunch with Renee Fleming.
She was amazingly cool and picked our tiny brains about different projects that were being kicked around.
One of them was a duet with Michael Bolton, with whom she was unfamiliar (I'm sorry to say we were unable to prevent this atrocity from taking place). She asked what we knew about him.
After we stammered around a bit, looking for a diplomatic way to express our distaste, I said: "Okay, if someone's checking out and has three discs and one of them is Michael Bolton, who are the other two? I'd say Mariah Carey and Celine Dion."
That seemed to convey the essence of MB to her.

McKeating.
OT: The jail overcrowding crisis reached a new peak yesterday as the number of prisoners rose above normal capacity for the first time. There are now 82,006 inmates in England and Wales, almost 100 above the normal ceiling set by the Prison Service.
While there are another 2,000 places in the system, finding suitable space will become increasingly difficult because free cells may be not be in suitable types of jail, or in the right part of the country.
As a result of the crisis, the Justice Secretary, Jack Straw, was forced to ask magistrates to send fewer people to prison. Mr Straw urged the courts to consider using more non-custodial sentences, which are more effective at stopping criminals reoffending than the short prison sentences magistrates can impose.

Medical organisations have rounded on a Roman Catholic hospital which has been thrown into disarray after the Archbishop of Westminster ordered its board to resign in a dispute over the provision of advice on abortion and contraception.
The British Medical Association yesterday criticised Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor, head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, after the Cardinal dramatically increased the pressure on the private Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth, of which he is patron, to implement a new code of ethics.
The BMA said doctors at the hospital were in effectbeing required to follow two codes of ethics – that proposed by the hospital and the statutory code enforced by the General Medical Council, which specifies that doctors may not let their own beliefs interfere with the care of patients.
Vivienne Nathanson, head of science and ethics at the BMA, said: "It really does put doctors in a very difficult position. We don't believe they can follow two codes of ethics."

McCain's lawyer says "We understood that he did not speak directly with [Paxson]. Now it appears that he did speak with him. What's the difference?"
A killer's lawyer: "We understood that our client did not murder his wife. Now it appears that he did murder her. What's the difference?"
The difference is serious time in jail, if McCain's actions for Paxson and now for the Sinclair Broadcasting company (another Iseman client in 1998 ), were based on contributions from Iseman's clients or her personally. That's why everyone in this case is getting lawyered-up and shutting-up. Nookie on the side would be the least of McCain's problems.
remember when the bush machine cranked up the slime machine and sent out the POW to say mccain was a collaborator.

My ex from South America and his friends hated the USA mostly because they were treated differently there than they were in Canada.
In Canada, people found their cultural background interesting, whereas in the USA, starting at the border, he was considered to be a potential drug dealer.
Even though he was an MD and PhD, and a prof at McGill, the customs people would treat him badly, They would insist on speaking to him in Spanish, even though he spoke English without a Spanish accent. They would ask him if he was carrying his doctor's bag and if he had any drugs on him. It was always quite humiliating for him.
I see the U.S. Customs people are not the only Americans to have that attitude
As for me, they just smiled and let me through.

Kenny doing Coltrane tunes?
-RETCH!!!-
Mimi, I'd say EkCenTrik has summed it up for me.
I don't really care how beautiful someone's command of their instrument is if they aren't making music I care to listen to.
The first time I heard a recording of guitarist Stanley Jordan I said "Holy shit. That sounds like four people playing!"
Then I asked myself ("Self?") if it were four people playing if I'd be interested in it.
The answer was a resounding "No" and I was done with Stanley Jordan.
I'm awake now.
Mimosas for everyone!

From the WaPo article MY links to:
The McCain campaign said Thursday that the senator had not met with Paxson or Iseman on the matter...
But Paxson said yesterday, "I remember going there to meet with him." He recalled that he told McCain: "You're head of the Commerce Committee. The FCC is not doing its job. I would love for you to write a letter."
McCain attorney Robert S. Bennett played down the contradiction between the campaign's written answer and Paxson's recollection.
"We understood that he [McCain] did not speak directly with him [Paxson]. Now it appears he did speak to him. What is the difference?"

Why is anyone talking about replacing Dr Dean? Is he in danger of being too successful?
The Bush administration yesterday urged the EU to stop dithering over the building of a $6bn (£3bn) gas pipeline from the Caspian basin to central Europe and reduce its growing dependence on Russia's Gazprom.
"Follow your wallet," Matthew Bryza, US deputy assistant secretary of state, said, arguing that the troubled Nabucco project made sound commercial sense and would cut Europe's dependence on Gazprom by up to a quarter.
Bryza's outspoken comments came after talks with senior EU officials, including energy commissioner Andris Piebalgs, and took sideswipes at the "gigantic rents" [excessive prices] Gazprom is charging Europe for gas. They underline the growing geo-political importance of gas.
"Helping Europe diversify its gas supplies has become extremely urgent," said Bryza, adding that US backing for Nabucco was in the country's national interests even though no American companies are involved.
This week's controversy in Britain over the huge profits made by British Gas at a time when householders are having to spend an increasingly large proportion of their income on energy also highlight the sensitivity of the issue for politicians across Europe.

And anyone can see Algerians hassled in Paris, Irish in London, and Turks in Berlin.
You have a point?
The 2,050-mile (3,300km) Nabucco pipeline, on which construction is due to start in 2009, is supported by six European companies, including new partner RWE of Germany, and is seeking a seventh, possibly France's Total or GDF. The European commission approved rules for its construction this month.
Nabucco would bring gas from US ally Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and possibly Kazakhstan via Turkey to Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Austria and perhaps Germany. It could supply 31bn cubic metres of gas a year from 2012-13. It could also supply gas from western Iraq, said Bryza. With a Turkey/Greece/Italy pipeline, it could provide up to 44bn cubic metres of cheap gas or a quarter of Gazprom's current 160bn cubic metres of supply to the EU. Gazprom supplies a quarter of all Europe's gas but this could rise to more than a half.
Bryza said Gazprom could purchase gas for as little as $100 for 1,000 cubic metres in Central Asia and sell it for $300 in Europe, with unsavoury, shadowy middle-men close to organised crime enriching themselves in the process.

McCain is not lying.
The truth of a statement is not a function of the degree to which it comports with external reality. That is an outdated, bourgeois conception of 'truth'.
The truth of a statement is a function of the degree to which it supports the Party, and promotes its role as Vanguard of the Revolution.
This is the higher, revolutionary Truth, that soars above the obsolete, dialectically-bound categories of 'truth' and 'falsity'.
All correctly oriented cadres know this.

Turkish troops are expected to escalate their ground offensive against the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) based in the mountains of northern Iraq.
Iraq has protested against the operation, Turkey's second incursion into its southern neighbour in three months, while the UN and Western powers have called for restraint.
However, the international reaction has been relatively muted, some arguing that regular air assaults by Turkey and greater stability within Iraq have quietened voices of condemnation.
Five Turkish soldiers have died in the operation, which started on Thursday with an air bombardment.

Other sources have told the U.S. Veteran Dispatch that the Vietnamese are holding as much as fifty hours of film footage secretly taken of McCain during the time his KGB-trained handlers had him isolated from other U.S. prisoners of war.
Some of the film, according to the sources, is of McCain receiving special privileges during the time he claims he was being tortured and held in long-term solitary confinement.
The sources say interrogators have candid camera footage of McCain with the nurse, who allegedly supplied him with more than just medical attention during those lonely days and nights in so-called solitary confinement.
In June 1992, Trung Hieu, a film director from the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture and former North Vietnamese Army photographer, told the U.S. Veteran Dispatch that Hanoi does have considerable film of POW McCain and some of it involves a Vietnamese woman.

The problem in Arizona is the sonofabitching in/out rate. Three years is pretty much all anybody who comes here stays - one year arriving, the next realising they don't much like it and the third leaving. It means that that cadre are basically suckers - no history, no idea who's running the joint or how or why.... Makes it really tough. On the whole, we nearly/natives would just as soon everybody who doesn't intend to stay more than three years just pass us by and go straight over to California. Or Colorado! Please? 'Enkew.
Now, now, let's not hold every individual Serbian responsible for his country's racism. One of my best friends is a Croat, who told me enough stories of forced busing to demonstrations, Tito's birthday parades, all that shit.

My friends ended up fleeing the country at different times. He left because he refused to join the army, a few years before the war. She stayed through the war, and was active in a student group advocating for progressive policies and against militarism. There many thousands like-minded people on the streets, she says. They were not tolerated when the bombs started falling. She eventually had to leave as well.
But, weird thing is, he was recently offered a job back in Serbia. He was going to go back, had the election turned out differently, but not now.
So, yes, many Serbians are racist and nationalistic, etc., but I don't know how a "country" can be racist. Like everywhere else, it is a complicated place.
