French President and Ex-Model Wed
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 8:44 a.m. ET
PARIS (AP) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy married former model Carla Bruni on Saturday at the Elysee Palace, according to the official who performed the ceremony.
''The bride wore white, she was ravishing, as usual,'' Francois Lebel, mayor of Paris' eighth arrondissement, or neighborhood, told Europe-1 radio. ''The groom wasn't bad either.''
Sarkozy, 53, and Bruni, 40, were married in the presence of close family and friends, Lebel said, calling the ceremony ''a moment of family intimacy for the young newlyweds, of great simplicity and apparently a lot of affection between the spouses.

For proximate electrical generation, wind power is pretty good if you live on a site with enough wind, and the space to erect a wind generator. There are many people homebrewing their own generators. The only difficult thing to construct in my opinion is the wind vanes and there are many selling good ones for not that much.
Google 'axial wind generators' to find more info.

Jessica Alba makes the least convincing classical violinist in cinema history.
OVER HER DEAD BODY
I particularly liked the scene where Paul Rudd races to the airport to keep his girlfriend from marrying somebody else. It was very original.
That said, I now have the world's most inappropriate crush on this woman..

Atrios' subtle endorsement of Obama marches forward.
"The top Democrats were at their weakest when trying to show how tough they were," writes Chafee. "They were afraid that Republicans would label them soft in the post-September 11 world, and when they acted in political self-interest, they helped the president send thousands of Americans and uncounted innocent Iraqis to their doom.
re foser's article. i've noticed that deliberate misrepresnetation about tax increases alot. in fact, all of them do. russert and tweety, especially are prone to the 'tax and spend' meme, mindlessly repeating what they've been fed. when, as recipients of multi-millions in salary, they would be the special 1% picking up the tab.
funny how they never reveal that.

More proof, as if any were needed, that today's American conservatives are the stupidest fucking people who ever lived.

Say what you will about the tenets of Islamic terrorism, at least it's an ethos.

Good embouchure for a string player.
If Barndog is around, thanks for the olive oil link in the previous thread.
Blitzer and Gibson are buffooons. 200K is a typical family income?

This stuff is so sold, that I've been told it by WWII veterans. And then I ask, "More evil than Hitler?" and it's like they have been startled out of a dream (which they sink back into immediately).
When poor schlubs are convinced that they're middle-class schlubs, and middle-class schlubs are convinced that they're rich, this is what happens.

Because she's married?
rootless that wasn't an atrios link.
Good morning, Moonbats! Happy Groundhog Day!
Obama responded: "I don't think the Republicans are going to be in a real strong position to argue fiscal responsibility, when they've added $4 or $5 trillion worth of national debt. You know, I am happy to have that argument."
Okay, this got me all tingly. Hit him with the chair!
Because she's married?
Underage. She's 30.

No, "he" didn't. Atrios hasn't endorsed anybody. Calm down.

I could actually be enthusiastic about either ticket.
Especially if they announce they will nominate Edwards as AG.
Untill then....
Saw "The Cooler" last night - William H. Macy, Maria Bello, Alec Baldwin, Paul Sorvino
Macy plays a "cooler" who is such a hard luck guy that he is hired by a Vegas casino to cool hot streaks just by lurking around the table. Really liked it despite the violence. Lots of steamy nekkidness.

Here have a song.
Mimi stopped by last night to tell us of another of her conquests (the usual tall, diplomatic, handsome, rich type).
Ended with "and then one thing led to another", which led me to imagine: (a) Mimi arrested for masturbating in a Moscow coffee shop, or (b) a male praying mantis continuing to copulate after its head had been bitten off.
Either way, not pretty

I'm afraid I haven't seen it - I really can't watch violence - I've gotten to the point that Merchant Ivory flicks are all I can handle. The cast of this looked good though so Mr. Jill and I decided to watch it. Some pretty graphic sex (I saw way more of William H. Macy than I cared to)

Good lord....

I bet that film made a lot of people swear off movies.
Charlie Gibson would see his taxes go up under the Democrats' plan. So would Wolf Blitzer. And, coincidentally, they suggest that their viewers' taxes would go up, too -- even though for the vast majority of viewers, that isn't true.
There's the nub of it, and there's where each of our candidates should have had the aplomb by now to deliver an in-your-face-disgrace to any big teebee journalist dumb enough to ask this question.
"I don't know if it will even add up to even two million Americans who will pay more taxes, so I don't think "millions is the right word. But Wolf, if you want o know if your taxes are going up, the answer is yes. What do you make in a year, Wolf? Why don't you tell the American people what you make and then tell them why you can't afford to pay a little more so that we can have health care in this country and so we can dig ourselves out of this hole the Republicans dropped us in?"
When I grow up, I want to be a weapons manufacturer.
You could do it now. It's not as if anyone expects them to work.
We went out to see Juno last night. Light & funny, good acting and nice music. Just right for a Friday night after a long work week

Works for me. I'm sure it's already crossed their minds as well.
We saw "How is Your Fish Today" on the NYC PBS station last night. It was really good (about a writer in modern China).
I saw Sweeney Todd last week.
It was all right.
No Country For Old Men still my favorite of 2007.
Nicolas Cage can be the worst actor ever at this pace. Without a strong director, he is a mess.
HICA!

Man, he looks like a bruiser!
I finally saw "There Will Be Blood" last night.
I'm going to have to say it was overhyped.
And frankly, a little weirder than I thought it was going to be.
"Sexy Beast" with Ben Kingsley as the anti Ghandi is a great thriller. 2000 release
Gilly Gonzylon: Man, he looks like a bruiser!
He's a big 'un!

Daniel Day Lewis can to John Huston better than the original.
It was uncanny.

I could just barely follow what was going on in that movie. And I was stone cold sober.
If Kingsley was not fantastic in anything he did, I haven't seen it.
While I read the article it occurred to me to ask why the media talking heads are the ones that moderate our Presidential debates? To be blunt, isn't there anybody better than some blow-dried pretty-boys and -girls who are clearly too fucking stupid to realize that not everybody makes as much money as they do?
Get some prominent political scientists, or historians, or businessmen, or local civic leaders in the places where the debate is being held. Or choose regular citizens.
The talking heads are either too far in the tank to their corporate employers, or too sequestered from reality. I don't care if they're "trained journalists", they've essentially proven their unfitness for the task.

Really? It seemed like a pretty straightforward "one last job" movie to me.
The debatesused to be moderated by the league of women voters, but the parties dumped them.
If my new drug works like it feels like it is going to, (I already feel better on the second day of a half dose - apparently I am suffering from hypothyroidism for no particular reason) I may actually take on a new project.
Forty news reporters: where they live, what they make, who they are married to, what schools they attended, where they send their kids: that sort of thing. I believe that people have the right to know about WHO is telling them the news.
This is an interesting tidbit I have turned up so far. . . Charles Osgood Wood III is a resident of Englewood, NJ. He lives in the J. Wyman Jones Estate name Erdenheim.
Designed and built in the mid 1800's in the Gothic Revival style, the large mansion and gatehouses feature rough sandstone walls trimmed with darker brown stone. Although the buildings are simple rectangles, each is embellished with stepped gables and picturesque irregular clusters of high chimney stacks. The medieval mood of the mansion is continued int0 crenelation, diamond patterned window sashes and a stone porch with handsome columns with folinated capitals. The detail and splendor of the total design point to the hand of a skilled architect presumable based in NYC although one is not identified.
Sounds like my place, yours too?
I think that's an excellent idea, DWD.
new comment on main page
Whenever I see Matt Lauer or Diane Sawyer commiserating with typical Americans on normal life activities (i.e. cleaning your own house, watching your own kids etc.) I laugh my ass off. As Doc and blerb suggest - what would happen if one of the Dems called their interviewers or debate moderators out on the fact that they are millionaires who will never understand "normal" American life.
The old stereotype of "ink-stained wretches" that they like to cultivate (especially people like Russert, with his blue-collar pretensions) is certainly laughable now.
This is what got me going.
NEW YORK (AP) -- A burglar posing as a construction worker made away with about $100,000 worth of jewelry and electronics in a broad-daylight heist at Lesley Stahl's apartment, police said Friday.
Police wouldn't provide specifics, but the New York Post reported the burglar posed as a construction worker and stole several diamond watches, a pearl necklace, earrings, gold and silver necklaces and a laptop.
The break-in occurred during the morning of Jan. 25 at the ''60 Minutes'' correspondent's apartment overlooking Central Park.
Stahl, a former White House correspondent who has been on the CBS news magazine since 1991, wasn't home at the time. She had no comment on the burglary, a CBS-TV spokesman said.
The burglar reportedly went onto the roof, gained access by breaking a patio door and then ransacked the apartment Stahl shares with her husband, writer Aaron Latham, and daughter.
Yeah, that sounds like my place too.
Trifecta, good game.
And thanks for playing to the end, unlike the individual who upended the board yesterday when he saw he wasn't going to win (coughntoddcoughcough)
