Aspirational goals, my ass.
By Michael Finnegan, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
July 19, 2008
On his trip to the Middle East and Europe, Barack Obama hopes to reassure Americans that he has the foreign-policy expertise to keep the nation safe. Images beamed back from Jerusalem, Berlin and other cities next week will show him meeting heads of state with all the formal trappings of summitry.
If the all-but-certain Democratic nominee avoids mistakes, the intense news coverage -- three network anchors will accompany him -- could ease voter doubts.
shorter corporate media: as a democrat, if obama says ONE bad thing or misspeaks ONE policy, he's toast!

It will be interesting to read the foreign press on Obama.
Good morning, gang. Long time no see. Except for the rampant evil in our alleged government, how ya doin'?
Sorry, Maliki, but that time horizon is not general enought, despite "slight changes."
Anyway...let's see. Given the tradition (started with FDR) of a new president's "first 100 days" being the most productive, let's say a plan is laid out by the end of that period.
The 16 months would commence on April 30, 2009, give or take few days.
The withdrawal would be complete around the end of August, 2010, in time for mid-term elections!

Nah, Gromit; Took my BP meds, saw the title, stayed away.
Good morning filkertom.
I left out a crucial comma, filkertom.
I am mortified 
Of course, I meant:
Mostly, glad to see you back!
John McCain, whose disclosure of bundlers had been sketchier than Mr. Obama's, told the campaign finance groups it would add employer and occupational information to his list of bundlers, promising monthly updates and saying he would include in the totals the amounts bundlers raised for the Republican National Committee to benefit the McCain campaign. The Obama campaign did not reply to the groups' letter.
Spin. Spin. Spin.
Maliki sings:
Beyond the time horizon
Waits a beautiful day
Good bye to troops that backed me
Now all I've got's Iraqi's
I feel the time horizon
Will be when we say the war's won
Beyond the time horizon
When we're rid of the dim son.
Huh. I just got here, but it looks like the rain's stopped so I'm going to bike to the gym.

Howya feeling?
Hey, BD, WillVenus! Not bad in the grand scheme, although the summer definitely is not what I planned. I tore my left quad tendon last month, and two surgeries later (one for something unrelated but they had me so by gum they was a-doin' it) I've been in physical therapy for the past several weeks. I hope to be walking again, with assistance at least, by the middle of next month. Shot my gigs to hell, though. And I literally just got back online this past Thursday night, and only with dial-up at that. Remind me to tell you how badly AT&T sucks -- oh, wait, you knew? 
My mother used to order from Der Spiegel catalog.
Mine too. It was exciting when the order came.
I am just not feeling that Dark Knight thrill. I am a Spidey girl, I guess.
Kit Seelye
Eric Alterman, now a senior fellow for Media Matters for America, further noted in the October 21, 2002, issue of The Nation that "Katharine Seelye's and Ceci Connolly's coverage turned out to be so egregious that the two were singled out by the conservative Financial Times of London as 'hostile to the [Gore] campaign,' unable to hide their 'contempt for the candidate.' "
Sad that she's still getting paid.

Fucking life, always getting in the way of the best laid plans.
Why, I outta....
I just want you back to what you were doing, filk. No more, no less.
Better and better, Gromit, though I'm still gonna be out of it for awhile. Dunno how much I'll be on for the next few weeks, but I'm online again, and DAMMIT I've missed everybody.
I understood the not-comma perfectly, Venus, no prob. You might want to check out the Spectacular Spider-Man animated on the Kids' CW this morning, which is actually pretty darn good and true to the Lee-Ditko spirit.

Fuck, they tore down the old Pine Knob.
I would have loved to be there, big boy.
Back in 74 when I visited Lansing with a friend, Santana played at Pine Knob.
After months of stubbornly ridiculing his positions, the last week has seen McBush adopt Obama's positions on talking to Iran, beefing up troops in Afghanistan, and a timetable (uh, 'time horizon') for withdrawing from Iraq. The specific length of which Maliki now endorses.
So when can we see the ad pointing out that you can stop wasting lives, time, and money by electing Obama?
Sad that she's still getting paid.
And still obviously trolling for dirt among progressives.
I'm not sufficiently caffeinated to determine if the fact that they sent Seelye rather than MoDo is a good or bad thing.
When is a non-endorsement an endorsement?
Asked if he supported Obama's ideas more than those of John McCain, Republican presidential hopeful, Maliki said he did not want to recommend who people should vote for.
"Whoever is thinking about the shorter term is closer to reality. Artificially extending the stay of U.S. troops would cause problems."
holy shit!!!
that's big news.
i've been watching how the press has constantly framed this trip as a chance for obama to fuck up...it's almost like they are waiting to pounce, or it's layed on with so much condescension they act like he's so unsophisticated he'll make some major gaff like pissing in some potted plant in a palace somewhere.
this after 7 years of the most ignorant, embarrassing fuckwit of a president we've ever had...
Billy - 'twas the first time in my LIFE of going to Pine Knob I ever sat in the actual ampitheatre seats.
We were actually a few rows down from the yellow line seats. - in front of the sound booth.
I felt like actual royalty!
"U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes."
Yay!! - as the chimp once wrote - "Let Freedom Reign".
Kewl, Barndog! That sounds great!

I appreciate the outrage on my behalf, amigo. But don't sweat it. It sucks, but it's gonna be one of those hey-this-is-pretty-darn-good-lemonade-ya-made things. I have found out I have a lot more friends than I ever imagined possible, and they have done some pretty incredible things for me. I've lost some weight, I'm getting physically stronger for the first time in years, and I'm gonna be healthier coming out of this than I was going in. And, as it's not suitable, I'm finally going to get out of my crappy little apartment.
And I'm starting to get back to writing music. So it's all good -- just clumsy and awkward for a few months.
So when can we see the ad pointing out that you can stop wasting lives, time, and money by electing Obama?
you'd think it would be a no-brainer....you'd think
Congratulations, filk.
filkertom-- Physical therapists are good people. Try to do what they tellya.
That sounds great!
It did. And, hence the reason my ears are still ringing. All the more worth it, IMO.
Someone here said Mellencamp only played 45 min at Shea stadium the other night?
Show went on at 7:30 w/ Lucinda Williams, and JM started at 9 sharp. We left at 11:30.
My PT after my ACL rebuild was awesome!
"So when can we see the ad pointing out that you can stop wasting lives, time, and money by electing Obama?"
no. the mccain/chimp camp has eliminated a major obstacle for getting elected in 2008: the public's scorn for iraq and the bush belligerent fp.
so now they are free to run on typical gop fare: guns, god, racism, taxes, homophobia, etc.
you'll get the 'experience' of mcsame but none of the evil liberal social agenda....
I am glad you are better, Filkertom.
I'm picturing you with a leg cast in traction...but clutching a guitar at an awkward angle, singing up instant songs about the nurses with cold hands.

So happy to hear filk is on the mend.
V4V,
Well, Marce's mom's mechanic will come up and fetch it and give it the old college try, but a 21 year old imported transmission might be a bit hard to come by.
Molly is Marcellina going back up there tonight or on to Pa.?

Well, that and the price of acorns.
AFAIK, she's spending the night in NYC and then heading back down to PA on Sunday.

Part of Eisenhower's 1952 campaign was a pledge to get us out of Korea, which he fulfilled...sort of...we are technically still in a state of war with North Korea with plenty of troops there (though reduced to prop up Iraq).
When the idea that Iraq could follow the "Korea model" is bantered about, I wonder if the history truly comprehended.
When I hear that idea, I hear another euphimism for endless war.
How's trolloping?
RE: Food prices: The cast/crew party last night was at one of those pizza places where the prices are on painted signs mounted behind the register. Except all the food prices were covered by notices explaining that, because of the rapid rise in the cost of food, these prices were no longer accurate. If you wanted a real menu with actual prices, you had to request it.
Better get on those tap-dancing lessons for Rosie.
well it's one two three

who cares
i don't give a crap

What did Marce think of the show?
How's trolloping?
Not as fun as it sounds. Maybe I need to drop the "sanctimonious" part.
Funny thing - coming back from Blissfest, the wife grabbed a large bag of Peanut M&M's for the ride home.
Which, in Levering, MI - the cost was $2.39.
At Kroger the other day, I noticed the same bag was $3.89.
Well, the production itself isn't too bad, but it's my least favorite G&S.
Just calculated...From Eisenhower's inauguration to the ceasefire with North Korea: 6 months and 1 week.
Molly should I get the couch ready?
Which means the bag in Levering may have had that not-so-fresh feeling.
HBK, I think this part of the plan has been operative for some time, so arrangements are probably in place. But it couldn't hurt.
Which means the bag in Levering may have had that not-so-fresh feeling
It was less than a couple weeks on the shelf old.

Not here. They've been bouncing between 4.10 and 4.20 for a couple of weeks.
It would be pretty funny if Huggy Bear had to keep talking about winning the war while Chimpy withdraws troops. As long as they come home I don't care - which is precisely the difference between DFH's and Rethugs.
TPM has actual timely news today.
Yes, wholesale gas prices have definitely gone down. Whether it will be immediately reflected at the pump is another question.

I have heard this repeatedly - he had better watch his state because a misstatement here could be fatal - repeated on CNN and MSGOP as well.
The idea that the Corporate Media is the enemy is exactly right. They constantly minimize the Dems and fluff the Republicans. Constantly.
So who will be the first ones in the corporate media to write: Obama visits Afghanistan, war still rages on. How will this failure be treated by the electorate?
Yes, wholesale gas prices have definitely gone down. Whether it will be immediately reflected at the pump is another question.
I've noticed a pattern around where I live. On Tuesday the price is up about $4.25 or so. Then Thursday evening, Friday morning, it drops to about $4.18, then by Friday night it's $4.15.
Been doing that for about three weeks now.

Actually, we live on the PA border, and the closest station is the cigarettes and fireworks outlet. But their gas does not seem significantly less expensive than ours. So much for the gas tax argument.
The media brigade following Obama will seek out any soldier willing to sneer at Obama and the week's narrative will be "How can he be Commander in Cheif if the troops don't respect him?"
Maliki's statements to Der Spiegel make the MSM's plans inoperable.
Good morning, bats.
I think I'm suffering from morning-after syndrome. Like, what the hell was I thinking last night?
how was the mellencamp gig last night?
I remember the days of Van Halen, Aerosmith and the like - where Pine Knob was thrashing.
I'll just say, they tore it up. I've never seen so many people know the words to so many songs. People from 8 to probally 80.

The other day Mika Btfsplk said Obama would be accompanied by "Military Veteran republican Senator Chuck Hagel and Democratic Senator Jack Reed."
This is Reed's bio, which took 0.04 seconds to find thanks to the Google:
After graduating from West Point and receiving an active duty commission in the United States Army, Reed attended the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University where he received a Masters of Public Policy. Reed, an Army Ranger and a paratrooper, served in the 82nd Airborne Division as an Infantry Platoon Leader, a Company Commander, and a Battalion Staff Officer. He returned to West Point in 1978 as an Associate Professor in the Department of Social Sciences.

plantsman
They're waiting for an unnamed (Republican) operative to spin it for Drudge.
For instance, I can tell you that the federal excise tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents. NY state taxes are about 32 cents, PA is about the same. So add that to the Bloomberg gas price of 3.17 per gallon & you're already at almost 3.68 Then add markups by middleman, and delivery charges, and you can see the gas retailers are not making that much.
Here's a chart of gas taxes, state by state.
It's good that Obama will have Hagel & Reed flanking him on this trip.
A couple of selected reasons why Huggy Bear is the MANLY CHOICE for president:
7. Obama is married to a bitter, angry lawyer who became “proud” of her country for the first time this year. McCain’s wife is a beer heiress who founded an organization to provide MASH-style units to disaster-torn world regions. Did I mention that she’s a beer heiress?
[...]
9. The name John McCain sounds like “John McClain,” the action hero played by Bruce Willis in the manly Die Hard series. “Barack Obama” sounds like the kind of elitist villain John McClain has to outwit and defeat.
Of course, this is from the publication that gave us K-Lo, so consider the source ...
I think Twitter is weird -- I wouldn't like having every message I send available on the intertoobz.
Twitter is not for me, either.
It's good that Obama will have Hagel & Reed flanking him on this trip
Maybe he won't need a company of Marines to guard them like McStain, Liberfuck and Graham.
So beer heiress good, ketchup heiress, bad?

And why is that?

Yeah, sure seems that way.
Karin at least Budweiser has a good American name . . . er, is a good American company . . . um . . .

We (my blogging team) will use Twitter to communicate with each other when we're at the Dem Convention in Denver, so I figured I'd better get used to it now.
You can turn the notifications on and off easily, though, so that's nice.
Of course, this is from the publication that gave us K-Lo, so consider the source ...
A republic trying to be funny. That was painful.
Maliki's one of those d00ds who goes outside naked and pleasures himself until a police cruiser takes him away
Funny, McStain sold out just like Budweiser.
I am checking and can find no reference to the Maliki story other than the link to Reuters from TPM. Weird.
Sooo where's the lass that'll be getting Guinness? I'd better get a courtin' hadn't I?
I get the same result, DWD.
If you think those points were bad, read the rest of 'em. It's frightening.
So beer heiress good, ketchup heiress, bad?
pfft. in this dumbass country, if your LAST NAME is famous, then the idiots equate you with elitism, otherwise, you can be as rich as you wanna be and you are good. it's simple really, uh-mericans do all they can to FORGET reality, but a famous last name makes it easy for teh stupids to equate with rich or elite.
we the people are so dumb. how dumb? we have been buying gas-guzzling vehicles for decades and not giving one shit about it.

Naaa. He'll end up in pieces over about 4 square blocks.
I didn't say the car had to be in one piece.
The Dems have got to start comparing McCain's habit of lying to the way Bush lied us into war:
“He’s going to go to the American people and say, ‘I want to be commander in chief,’ ” Mr. McCain told reporters on Thursday, “and yet he has been the chairman of the subcommittee that oversights NATO and he has never had a hearing, nor has he ever visited Afghanistan.’ ”
But that criticism was dismissed this week by Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, who said issues related to Afghanistan were intentionally being addressed “at the full committee level.”
The couch is ready.
Now my back is killing me.
And it's fucking hot.
You'd think CNN and MSNBC would check the Reuters page, but I guess you'd be wrong.
McCain still thinks Al Qaeda will surrender on the deck of the USS Missouri, then start making cameras and small cars.

Nope, they pretty much form wherever the hell they want to.
In fact, it's more common for them to form near the southeast U.S. coast at this time of year than it is to come off of Africa like Bertha did.

Beer-heiress McCain to profit from foreign takeover of Anheuser Bush
The Associated Press earlier this year examined McCain's finances finding her fortune, which is at least $100 million, has allowed John McCain, the GOP presidential candidate, to enjoy trips on private jets and vacation homes around the country.
Cashing out could leave the McCains with hefty capital gains, which would be taxed at a rate of 15% under the Bush tax cuts that John McCain opposed and now supports. (Barack Obama has proposed raising the capital gains tax.)

Yeah, you're probably right. Corporations are indeed all about hierarchy, and the people in them must respect hierarchy. Which, if it doesn't make you a fascist, at least makes you basically unable to think for yourself.

Unification Church founder Moon hurt in crash
SEOUL, South Korea - A helicopter carrying the Rev. Sun Myung Moon crashed Saturday into a mountain in South Korea, injuring the founder of the Unification Church and 13 others, officials said.
Moon was slightly injured, a hospital official said. Members of Moon's family, including his wife, were also hurt, and one person suffered a serious back injury, fire official Kim Wu-jong said.

The Inveterate Invertebrate
As the Rude One reports from Tex-ass:
1. We were sharing a table awaiting Wesley Clark and Howard Dean's speeches. The young female lobbyist from DC was not amused. And the female green activist from San Francisco looked on dismayed. The YFL hadn't heard of this blog, and so the Rude Pundit attempted to describe it, using examples, including images of raping various conservatives. The idea of using rape for the purposes of humor offended the YFL, even if the recipient of the rape was, say, David Brooks. The FGA looked as if the Rude Pundit had slit a whale's throat. He realized that while we were sitting at the same table, we were, in fact, living on different planets, neither necessarily superior to the other, and the Rude Pundit was glad to cut his losses when the speakers began.
2. Wesley Clark was boring. He came out speaking what were obviously a series of applause lines crammed into a frame for the convention. The clapping was there, but there was no life to it.
3. The Rude Pundit's said it before and he'll say it again. Howard Dean will fuck your shit up. Dean owned the joint. Hyping Obama and all the DNC's candidates and elections, he was exciting and interesting and insightful. It's the first time the Rude Pundit's seen him live, and the man knows how to make a crown rowdy.
4. Oh, and the Rude Pundit was just a little drunk when he met John Aravosis of Americablog in the hotel lobby last night. Tonight, he will be very drunk when he meets others.
More later. There's a link to live streaming of the various panels and speakers, and soon there will be video of this morning's panel on profanity and rude discourse, where you can see Kevin Drum of Washington Monthly seemingly offer a blow job to the Rude Pundit.
Okay, I'd better go before my son tears my head off. Something about going swimming ... then I'm taking him to the Marlins-Phillies game this afternoon.

That implies she believes in issues she is unable to support.
E-mail subject line of the day:
"Living proof that the earth is flat available"
This is good. Could start a whole new genre of writing: If the Republican's had been in charge when...
Put more succinctly:
If the Republicans had been in charge on December 7, 1941, we would have gone to war against Australia.
If today's Republicans had been around in April of 1865 after Lincoln's assassination, they would have chased down Gen. George B. McClellan.
If a Republican had written Hamlet, Laertes would have killed Rosencrantz and/or Guildenstern.
You see, for Republicans, it's not about doing the right thing for the state or the country. It's all about getting even. And that's basically why we're in the mess we're in today.
From sinfonian, of course.

Could we hear a chorus of:
Donations for Democrats not LieberDems!
So why does she protect him? Why does she empower him?
seriously. i read her comments and that was exactly my thought. big fucking deal, madam speaker. then why the fuck do you provide him with everyfucking thing he wants.
OK, I'm watching NRN streaming, now.
Answer the motherfucking question, goddammit.
Gina Cooper, 4LG. Bigwig Kossack.

too early to remember names
Donations for Democrats not LieberDems!
More succinctly, "the ATM is closed."
She's gone from being less aggressive than we would like to actively obstructing a liberal agenda.
I believe she's happy just to be Speaker and is comfortable consolidating her position.
OK, I'm watching NRN streaming, now.

Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
From the point of view of elite power in this country, Nancy Pelosi is exactly who she is supposed to be: A powerful leader in a party that has largely abandoned its working class roots for corporate oligarchy, that clings to its historical role in making war, and lusts for the power it once had and will have again at any price.

So, you're gonna contact my ISP? Maybe you should have looked up my IP before you made that threat. Because if you had, you would have noticed that it's in Hong Kong.
As you may or may not be aware, Hong Kong is not a state in the United States of America. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of The Peoples Republic of China in southeast Asia. Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here. For your information, no Hong Kong law is being violated.

Good one, Barry.
I have a duck joke I send lunatics when I get an e-mail like that. It baffles them, and I like the Zen of it.
A duck walks into a grocery store. "Got any duck food?" she asks.
"No, says the the grocer, "we don't carry duck food".
Happens again, two days in a row. The third day, the grocer threatens to nail the ducks feet to the floor if the duck returns and asks about duck food again.
Fourth day, the duck is back. "Got any nails?" she asks.
"No" says the grocer, "we don't carry nails, either".
"Good!" says the duck. "Got any duck food?"
Well, the "Netroots" streaming feed just conked out - thank God.
What a steaming fucking pile of total bullshit. Thanks, Kossacks, for your usual stellar job of giving a politician who should be dragged through the streets screaming a nice slurpy blowjob.

Why can't Colonel Ed vote for a black man?

Remember when everyone (MSM that is) complained about the "wooden" Al Gore?
The man's hands are flying--he's rocking to and fro.
Gore: Bush is like an alcoholic with oil except also with alcohol
[ yay ]
Gore: we have to build an underground national electric grid in 10 years
Al - U can haz all of Arizona and all of New Mexico to set up the solar grid.
C'mon back out here!

STEVE'S MOVIE REVIEWS™
"Mamma Mia!"
Pierce Brosnan sings!!!! (Seriously, he sounds a little like Richard Thompson). Some reviewer said "You'll love this movie even if you hate yourself afterwards." Uh, sorry -- I don't hate myself. I fucking hated the movie, though.
"The Dark Knight."
Too long by about twenty minutes, but otherwise flawless on every level. And I hated the last one.
Seriously, Ledger's unbelievably scary Joker is just the icing on the cake. A great film noir that just happens to be a superhero flick.
"Engines of Distraction" - perfect.
Hi, steve. I have "The Good Fight" on VHS tape, from when it was on PBS, many years ago. Great flick, I knew several veterans so it's a particular interest of mine.

Kinda fun to listen to an educated Southern accent, ain't it? Rather than the corrupt false imitation we've been hearing.
Give Nancy a second to wipe the wet spot off of the chair.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Stop gushing, bitch; let someone ask a question.
THANKS, AL!
That was good.
I giggled, though, at the last misspoken bit (quickly corected):
"You are on the cutting hedge..."
There's some good comedy in that.
Host: surprise!

OBAMA Has Come and Gone - Report from Jalalabad Air Field
First Hand Account ^ | 19 JULY 2008 | Captain Shamrock
Posted on Saturday, July 19, 2008 11:17:19 AM by Captain Shamrock
B. Hussein Obama has come and gone on his visit to Jalalabad Air Field in eastern Afghanistan. He landed about 1515 local and was gone by 1800, which is more than enough time for any Democrat to check the Natioanl Defense box, and he is now just as qualified as John McCain to speak on all matters related to Operation Enduring Freedom.
During his visit he toured the Task Force (TF) Bayonet 173rd Brigade (Sky Soldiers!) Headquarters and Tactical Operations Center (TOC).
Well, that's the big news from the front line fellow FReepers. Keep up the fight at home and we'll do our part here.
God Bless, Captain (Now Major) Shamrock
Captain (or is it Major)Shamrock, how dare you divulge the whereabouts of hero Obama?
I guess you never heard the admonition: "Loose lips sunk ships."
I didn't seek it.
Snow (D-SC)
I will come work next time. You were so close.
WV guy had good questions.
he carries a note pad, how cool is that?
Ooooooooooh! Accountability question!
