"domo" is short for "domo arigato gozaimashita" (i.e. "thank you very much" -- I served in the Japanese maritime Self Defense Force back when Hirohito was emperor -- had to stand to attention every morning for Kimigayo -- same national anthem as during WWII -- BTW Hirohito is now "Showa")

Clinton's tax returns show is that they paid more than $33,000,000 in federal taxes and donated more than $10,000,000 to charities over the past eight years. They paid taxes and made charitable contributions at a higher rate than taxpayers at their income level.
How dare they make so much money, pay their fair share of taxes and give so much to charity! I'm outraged! This is a huge scandal of epic proportions!

Conservatives on the other hand should leave the state and move to an area where there are more, not less conservatives.

Adding: While I don't care how much money either the Clintons or the Obamas or the McCains, for that matter, make, I do think having a gander at their tax returns is fair for other reasons. Although, I'm pretty sure if any of them were/are doing anything truly shady, it'd be kept off the books, anyway.

These people cannot drive. And they keep building fucking mega churches and new brick strip malls. I was so lost. After two hours--no joke--I finally found the new brick strip mall I was looking for, only to find that the shop I was seeking wasn't even in there. I'd been given wrong information.
Ten years ago I started to see the hallmarks of road rage in downtown Brentwood. It's a wonder the place hasn't become a sniper range.
It's always amusing to see strip malls sprawl to the point at which they're no longer convenient or even navigable. When I drop into the Starbucks at Cool Springs (not nearly as frequently as I used to) I wind up having to drive a couple of blocks out of my way just to get out of the parking lot.

In my younger days, I worked in a factory, spray-painting industrial equipment and hauling various heavy things around all day, ten hours a day, six days a week. When I came home, I was dirty, sweaty, and sore. I'd take a hot shower and feel better. Later in life, I worked on the other end of the spectrum, in an administrative capacity. Spent 8, 10, 12, sometimes 14 hours a day solving problems, fixing other peoples' fuckups, covering my bosses' asses. On call, would have to answer the phone at 3 in the morning (hey! I could be Preznit!) and sometimes run up to the plant to fix something because no one else would. My brain ALWAYS hurt, and I was always worried about something. There are different kinds of hard work.

Working, to me, is trying to qualify on a job that is so physically demanding that every muscle in your body is screaming. There are no other jobs to be had and if you cannot do this one: you are going to be laid off without any unemployment. So you try as hard as you can. You are nearly crying from the exertion and still it is not fast enough. You try a little harder. When you go home at night everything hurts so badly you cannot even sleep. And the next day you have to try to qualify as a pieceworker again.
The days diminish down and you still haven't made it. You try a little harder. Your wife wonders why you are so quiet. You dare not tell her what is going on so you just keep trying. Until finally they disqualify you and you have to tell her you lost your job.
That is working.

Ear piece and coaching. GODDESS I wish I could prove that. I can see them trying to spin that now.
"After 9/11 the president needs to be in contact at ALL times in case of an emergency. This ear piece was only their to provide him instant information so that he would be able to make executive decisions if necessary. The terrorists KNEW he was in a live debate and we have solid intelligence that they were going to attack during the event and we needed to be ready. Not giving him the earpiece would have jeopardized national security. "
"We have audio of someone feeding him lines regarding the debate."
"That is not true. That audio was faked. If you will look at the providence of the person who GOT that audio you will notice that that person has a criminal record a mile long in the area of fraud."
"The person's voice is Karl Roves."

In TX, conservative philosophy has been very lucrative for people who are connected.
I'm sure. We are number in violent crime. We are number one in domestic violence. We are 49th in educational quality (Thank god for Mississippi). More than 30% of all South Carolinians are living with long-term disease. We have the highest dropout rate from high school. We have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates. Our cigarette tax is 7 cents. 7 fucking cents. Few businesses want to locate here. They think it sucks. They don't care about the low taxes when there is no place they want to live and no people they want to hire. Way to go, conservatives. Y'all really suck.

But they are not rich or connected so . . .

they can do damage, and they have even done serious damage here in california (with the notorious 'proposition 13', that madandated lowering of property taxes that resulted in severe cutbacks in public education)
but the real radicals want to cut the federal government back to only conducting foreign policy and defense, and get rid of ALL social service programs. in other words, legislate total social darwinism. (the only 'welfare' anybody would get then would be graft for business deals)
they truly believe that they are the übermenschen that would rise to the top in a social darwinist universe
i would refer them to the old russian proverb: "it doesn't matter if the water is salt or fresh - shit floats"

Seems promising! And a bit dicey for Hillary to be saying...? Rather brave.
In an interview with the Philadelphia Gay News, Hillary Clinton made a pretty awesomely blunt promise to the gay community to be their ally if she becomes their president, adopting the argument I've repeatedly said the Dems should make regarding federal law—as long as the states are beginning to guarantee full equality, the federal government is obliged to do it, too. Clinton specifically addressed inequities in the tax code and immigration laws (a particular bailiwick of Iain's and mine, given our history), noting she would also "look at everything that is discriminatory in the tax code or in any other aspect of federal law."
"Even states that have civil unions, domestic partnerships or even marriage laws are running into roadblocks with the federal government when it comes to federal benefits and privileges. …And we will try to eliminate all of that discrimination. I think we will have a good argument, ironically, because I think we can say, look, the states are making determinations about extending rights to same-sex couples in various forms and the federal government should recognize that and should extend the same access to federal benefits across the board. I will very much work to achieve that."

I don't know what's happening to the retail economy. Barton Creek Square Mall, the former flagship mall in Austin, is a ghost town. Northcross Mall tried and failed four or five times to come back; now it's being leveled and converted into a Wal-Mart.
Shopping malls become ghost towns once something newer and more exciting is built nearby. Old malls have been closing for decades; some have been in decline for so long that someone has come along and revitalized them by aiming downmarket. Take, for instance, Crossroads in Bellevue, WA, or 100 Oaks in Nashville.
traditional brick and mortar stores are ultimately doomed anyway, I think. It's hard to justify delivering goods in semi trailers to local retail stores when you can stock them in warehouses across the continent and leverage the USPS and Fedex. It's even harder to compete with, costwise, especially in times of more expensive fuel.
amazon.com may be one of our society's greatest fuel-saving ventures.

NTodd, interesting segment on WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show today about nonviolent protest. I learned some new things, but you probably know about what the guests are discussing.
As the Metropolitan Opera revives the Philip Glass opera "Satyagraha." Helen Tworkov, founder of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, is coordinating The Satya Graha Forum, a series of events exploring the on-going influence of Gandhi’s concept of active non-violence to achieve social change. She is joined by participants Pavan Sukhdev, recently appointed "Study Leader" for the G8+5 Environmental Ministers global study on the Economics of Ecosystem Degradation and Biodiversity Loss, and Mark Kurlansky, author of Nonviolence: The History of a Dangerous Idea
I think one of the guests said that Ghandi said that if you can't think of a way to defeat evil with nonviolence, then you need to consider a different approach--but I need to listen again to be sure of that.

I had Schultz on in the car when I went to the post office, and he was talking to a conservatard.
The conservatard's take on the election is Obama is a socialist and McCain and HRC are both liberals. He hopes HRC wins because she'll just screw up the economy (I am not making this up) and everything else and in four years maybe people will elect a True Conservative. I came in in the middle but I gathered that, in his view, WPE is also a liberal.

'scuse me if I am repeating something; hard to catch up with all.
here is a whopper of myopia from Len Downie and the WAPO.
The Post ditched its responsibility to the truth, opting instead to enforce its 1950s-era views of sexual orientation that require gay subjects to remain in the closet.
The paper’s ombudsman, Deborah Howell, agreed that the paper had erred.
“The Post was right to be cautious, but there was enough evidence — particularly of Rogers’ feelings about ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ — to warrant quoting his friends and adding that dimension to the story of his life,” Howell wrote in a column Sunday. “The story would have been richer for it.”
The story would have been accurate for it.
MOST DISTURBING ABOUT the Post’s coverage is that it wasn’t a Metro section reporter or even a junior editor who made the call to straight-wash Rogers’ life. That decision was made by Executive Editor Len Downie himself, according to Howell.
The reporter’s original story included accounts of Rogers’ sexual orientation and the issue triggered a debate among editors who deemed it an “agonizing decision.” But “the decision ultimately was made by Executive Editor Len Downie, who said that there was no proof that Rogers was gay and no clear indication that, if he was, he wanted the information made public.” http://www.washblade.com/2008/4-...orial/

I agree, with two exceptions: First, I need to try clothes on before buying them because I can never guess right from just photos. Sure, you could send the stuff back by mail but that is extra work.
The other exception has to do with bookstores. I love to browse in an illogical manner and that is harder to do on the net. Also second-hand stores which are like visiting museums.

I still go to B&M bookstores, just because it's the easiest way to stay current with what's being published (actually, more and more, I do my book shopping at Costco. I'm there regularly for other stuff, and you don't give up all that much in currency or selection. they always have the current Oprah selection, for example.)
the big problem with this, as I see it, is that many states center their government revenues around a sales tax that is generally (although illegally) circumvented by internet sales. for internet retail to be viable in the long term, some sort of accommodation needs to be made at the federal level for mutual point-of-sale collection of sales tax.

Back in the days of the '94 off year elections, my good Dem friend and I, without much help from the MCM, decided that the Dems were going to lose bcz they had disappointed so many Clinton voters who felt then was the time to get national healthcare.
Yes, there was the stupid House bank "scandal" which the MCM adored flogging the Dems with, but there was also a fie on them for not supporting the Clintons and not coming to gether to get something passed.
I know that William Kristol also wrote that memo which told the ReThugs that they had to move heaven and earth to defeat the Clinton healthcare plan bcz if they didn't they would be out of power for decades, that it would be like another New Deal in terms of gluing voters to the Dem Party.
They blew it--and, yes, Hillary did make mistakes, but the Dem Congress clearly blew it. Voters said fuck'em.

Well it takes practice, but I actually taught myself to knit out of a book a couple of years ago, and talking to other knitters, well - most Americans learn to do it awkwardly. I taught myself the 'continental' method, where you hold the yarn in your left hand instead of your right, which I think makes a big difference, because you don't have to keep stopping and starting to move yarn around. No 'picking' it's just a continuous movement more or less.

Does it do that in all types of stitches? Both stocking and garter, say? If it does it only in the stocking stitch, it's likely that you purl with a different tension than you knit. This is very common, but passes with practice, by trying to make the purl stitches the same size for a while.

BSG will get to Earth and find out that the Lords of Cobol are nothing but computer geeks who created #6 cause it was the only way they could meet hot chicks.

Echidne, that is really cool!
I have not yet done embroidery...I have some books, but I have so many unfinished other projects, I just don't need to go there.
I have designed a couple of very small needlepoint projects (little 32-pt bookmarks and goodies for friends to sew on jackets), but nothing like that!

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for making fun of Bill Clinton's Presidential Library and implying it looks like a double wide trailer.
That was insensitive.

Mezevinsky-Margulies that was, jawbone... After that vote a bunch of GOP House Reps serenaded her at her seat with "thank you for your House seat" or something of the kind. None of them admits to having been one of the serenaders now....
She surprisingly won a special election in a very Republican district in Philadelphia suburbia. Lost in '94. I think the district was mostly what is now PA-6...

We are 49th in educational quality (Thank god for Mississippi).
Nah, dude, you've got to be at least 48th. NM and Mississippi are constantly duking it out for who's going to be at the bottom. Or at the top of the list for negative things, like number of citizens living in poverty and that kind of stuff.

Yes. I like the designing better than the execution so I have a lot of drawings left.

I was just in the kitchen, using a knife to get a piece of toast that had stuck in the toaster. All of a sudden there was a big bang, and now my right arm is numb.
Do you think I should call a doctor? Or should I call the electrician first? Because the power is flickering.

That show is terrible.
Echidne,
I do a lot of my own designs now, too. But those kits that Tlaz linked to are pretty cool.
