Best cold desert in the summer has got to be Edy's Lime fruit bars (aka popsicles). I could eat a whole box but it would give me a beerbellyache.

I just wanted to share the penultimate comment by that guy to whom I referred earlier...
"You underestimate and misread Moore. He does very much believe in the power of his own voice. And, given the fact that he is filthy rich, it is entirely possible that he covets control of America as his own personal kingdom, and that he is using his films to foment enough discontent to create the conditions necessary for his seizure of power."
I'm smelling a little paranoia here.

echidne,
No, there was a major article about how he intends to do it posted at Kos the other night. Apparently Cheney has a plan he has put in place that allows compartmentalizing of the budget and they have been planning for a time when the Dems would try this ploy and have prepared a means of utilizing the Pentagon's budget - in defiance - of Congress.
But it is Saturday Night and I don't think it is the ONLY thing we should be talking about. But I do wonder why the newspapers and news readers on TV are not talking about it.
Thanks a fucking lot, Indiana. I'm sure your neighbor states appreciate this:
The massive BP oil refinery in Whiting, Ind., is planning to dump significantly more ammonia and industrial sludge into Lake Michigan, running counter to years of efforts to clean up the Great Lakes.
Indiana regulators exempted BP from state environmental laws to clear the way for a $3.8 billion expansion that will allow the company to refine heavier Canadian crude oil. They justified the move in part by noting the project will create 80 new jobs.
Under BP's new state water permit, the refinery—already one of the largest polluters along the Great Lakes—can release 54 percent more ammonia and 35 percent more sludge into Lake Michigan each day. Ammonia promotes algae blooms that can kill fish, while sludge is full of concentrated heavy metals.

The White House said on Saturday that President Bush would veto a bipartisan plan to expand the Children’s Health Insurance Program, drafted over the last six months by senior members of the Senate Finance Committee.
The vow puts Mr. Bush at odds with the Democratic majority in Congress, with a substantial number of Republican lawmakers and with many governors of both parties, who want to expand the popular program to cover some of the nation’s eight million uninsured children.
Tony Fratto, a White House spokesman, said: “The president’s senior advisers will certainly recommend a veto of this proposal. And there is no question that the president would veto it.”

I believe that it will. These last few action of defying the Congress, pardoning Skippy of Flippy or whatever his name is, and the potential of defying the Congress if they cut off funding will be sufficient to make it happen. No one wants the President to have that much power - particularly with the very real prospect of a Democrat having that office after the next election.

After all, given Bush's own record-setting penchant for vacationing during crises here at home, Republicans are understandably reticent to criticize the absentee government in Baghdad.
For more details, see:
"Republicans Quiet on Iraqi - and Bush - Vacations."
"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is a great movie -- arguably John Wayne's best.

The hot thing on VR that we are doing at fairs are the number of people who are asking about doing more than just making their registration current. Passed out mucho brouchures. Personally had 3 people come up to me saying, "I'm registered, but do you have any info on local democratic clubs?". '08 is gonna be great.
I had a friend who worked with Kelly McGillis on Cat Chaser (1989) as script superviser. He said she was extremely nice, actually rather shy, and she wore no underwear.

Charlie Chan was played by Warner Oland, a Swede.
Peter Lorre had a recurring role as Mr. Moto, a similar character that was japanese instead of chinese.
funny, that's about the color of our house now. I'm for keeping it the same (plus it will hide any painting errors as we are doing it ourselves). The guys are lobbying for something else.
One of the houses we're going to be checking out next week is actually pink!
Much more suited to, say the Marigny in New Orleans than to Oshkosh, I'd say. But it does look like a good house to me.

"Here's good news: the FBI has arrested the madam who was in charge of the ring of prostitutes. No word yet though on Osama." --David Letterman

"Be careful, Mr. President. He sounds drunk."
Looks like it's time to say a prayer for Owen Meany:
The death and destruction of U.S. troops fighting in Iraq seems to have become so rampant to one local soldier that he actually staged an attack on himself -- allegedly hiring a hitman to non-fatally shoot him -- so he wouldn't be sent back for another tour of duty.
6' 6", diabetic, tired/weary osama... and the greatest military force on the earth can't find him. the whole hunt for osama story should make for a great historical read someday...
Is he diabetic? I know he requires dialysis regularly because his kidneys are shot.
My bad. A Canadian.
He's still alive too. Turned 89 this year.
TCM recently showed a movie with one of his earliest performances, "Detective Story", with Kirk Douglas.
It's kind of like "Barney Miller", but done as a drama instead of a sit-com.
they lied about tillman... they lied about wmd's... they lied about firings... they lied about.... well everyfuckingthing...
but, we should believe them that they don't know where osama is...
hmm
i wonder what storyline/timeframe they're dreaming up to use him...
"Be careful, Mr. President. He sounds drunk."
I liked his line about "capitalist stooges". The way he enunciated those two words was priceless.
i just threw out diabetic as representative of a 'malady' that he has... i should've correctly stated as you did french...

Six months after September 11th Bush said he wasn't that concerned about him.
they know where he is... they just don't know what to do, yet. when they decide how to use his capture/death for political purposes, they will do it. between now and next november, he will show...
Six months before September 11th Powell and Rice said Saddam was contained and not a threat.
I talked about the lax search for bin Laden with some people and one man who had been in the military said that it might be because attacking him where he actually is would mean many dead American soldiers in a short amount of time. It's more acceptable to have them die in Iraq slowly over time, even if the outcome worse.
Not sure if that is true.
Woman Falls to Death From Ride in Wis.
OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) - A woman attending a Christian festival died Saturday after plunging about 45 feet from a bungee-like amusement ride.
Workers at the Lifest 2007 event shut down the Air Glory ride after the accident, which occurred about 4:45 p.m. A prayer service was held at 7 p.m. and the music festival resumed about 7:30 p.m.

Nah, he just commuted the sentence.

he's a loose end/failure to bring to justice the mastermind behind 911. if they catch him now, americans would go apoplectic to get out of iraq now that the mission has truly been accomplished and they don't want that...
they don't know what the fuck to do.. but, they do know where he is. one smart/laser/cruise missile and the story ends...
or, does it???
echidne has mail back.
I'd like to see someone ask Condoleeza about America's support of Bin Laden when the Russians were bogged down in Afghanistan. That would be her field of expertise, no?
My suspicion has been that Osama has been dead since about 2002 and Bushco knows about it. Since then, all we've had from "him" for the most part are audiotapes. The fact that they have, without fail, always come out at politically advantageous times for Bush makes me believe that are very likely fabrications.
This latest video is the first time any video of him has shown up in eons. Of course, there is absolutely nothing in the video that indicates when it was actually recorded. I'm betting that it's stock footage from 2001.

Possibly. Dent Head is certainly around.
Anthrax occurred, a jet liner "crashed" a month after 9-11, a judge's family was assassinated, several copycat hoaxes by right wing types were caught including letters to keith Obermann, a spree of church 'fires' and train track crossings in the south were sabotaged or set fire to, and white supremecists have still tried to target abortion clinics for violence.
We're spending inordinate amounts on Homeland Security and have stripped the authority of many regulatory bodies in so doing. What do we have to show for it? Kids getting their sippy cups taken from them if their mom happened to have once worked for the Secret Service. Scare tactic alerts during election season, Chertoff brain farts and conveniently mistated leads trying to compare the illegal war in Iraq vs. a fight agaisnt Al Qaeida, whom Saddam never did trust and who Iran helped us defeat when the Taliban became our enemy...
My suspicion has been that Osama has been dead since about 2002 and Bushco knows about it.
I think he may be dead too, and if he is Bushco surely knows. If that were the case and that truth were ever made public it'd be torches and pitchforks as far as the eye can see.
attacking him where he actually is would mean many dead American soldiers in a short amount of time. It's more acceptable to have them die in Iraq slowly over time, even if the outcome worse.

Why are democrats hell-bent on ensuring the US can do nothing to help the fledgling democracy in Iraq?
If pulling out troops causes the Al Queda to flourish, resulting in an attack on US soil, I hold the Dems and all their supporters (including each and every one posting here) personally responsible.
You've been duly advised.
I wonder if there are any investigative reporters at all working on trying to find Osama, or where his corpse lies. I doubt any American reporter would touch the story, but it would be interesting to know if there's anyone else on the trail.

BTW, I was content with the new Potter. For a sequel of a sequel of a sequel or so, it was downright solid. Has that unavoidably tentative tone since there's a lot of setting up for the last two, but for my money it blowed up real good. And any appearances by Helena Bonham Carter are aces.
Whether or not the attack was handled correctly can be debated but is not relevant to our safety (only to academic questions of how to do it better, if at all, next time). Securing the country is in US national security interests, plain and simple.
I can only hope if a dem like Clinton is elected she understands this and at least leaves the troops on the periphery of the insurgency to surgically strike Al Queda there, rather than listen to the far left.

Steyn, who has known Black for 12 years and covered the trial for Maclean's magazine, said ahead of the verdict that a defeat would be "particularly devastating" to Black's wife Barbara Amiel Black.

I just made some strawberry icecream.
made with;
a couple quarts of organic ripe strawberrys,
a half cup of raw sugar, that has also had vanilla beans kept in the container with it.
two cups of heavy fresh cream,
1/2 cup unsweetened yogurt.
That's about all it takes, the icecream maker is kind of automatic. Put the ingredients inside, turn on, and wait for the beep.

The funniest thing about all this is that MissusX's -uh- sonic effluvients are always much more pungent than anything us male Xs can muster... we produce all sound and fury, signifying nothing. MissusX blames some weird re-arrangement of her plumbing following the birth of the the little Xs... all MasterX and I know is that she really blasts some paint-peelers, and we are envious.

I've never been much attracted to blondes, so I'll have to go with Drusilla. Darla is cute and all, but Dru has that sickly pallor of emotional depravity that engenders my caretaking instincts.

One of our favorite restaurants serves a warm ginger cake and pumpkin ice cream dessert that is to DIE for...
When I was a kid there was an ice cream stall in Farmer's Market at 3rd and Fairfax that sold pumpkin ice cream for one month during the Fall. I've never tasted anything like it since then.
In Carpinteria, California you can get avocado ice cream during their Avocado Festival, and Gilroy CA sells garlic ice cream during their Garlic Festival. They're both a lot better than they sound, especially the avocado.

McCain said that or one of his staffers? He really was brainwashed in 'Nam or someone is sabotaging his effort from within the GOPers.

re civilian casualties:

the civilian/ soldier difference is abit unclear ... for good reason, i guess.

He's asked if he cares enough about Iraq to cut back on campaigning and "exert some leadership" in Congress. He says he will do "whatever is necessary," and he'd "rather lose a campaign than lose a war." He'd find it "difficult to shave in the morning" if he thought his campaigning were in any way burdening those who are sacrificing in Iraq.
Already preparing a retreat statement and will blame everyone who doesn't follow him during the campaign season.
Losing is a big part of McCain's vocabulary...

"Good Soldiers" do what the their commanders tell them to do.

There is time for another question, but there are no more questions. He says "Oh, no!" in a humorous way.

We are short about 75 pilots to make our schedule work. So... they have been taking (as per contract) 4 days off away from everyone. Contract says they can take 4 days to cover stuff like breaking down in an odd place, and no repairs available, so you sit with plane till fixed.
But schedules takes 4 days to cover shortcomings, OK?
Well, I just had another Captain as one of my copilots from Luxembourg, he's had 4 days already taken away for this month. And when we landed, schedules was on the phone wanting him to give up another 3 days to cover this trip with me to Mexico City.
Alex rightly told em to pound sand. You'd have to know Alex, he's Ukranian, a gentle bear of a man who's every other word is "cocksucker" or "fuck", I can only imagine what his conversation with the schedulers was like.
Alex needs to go home, he has been out 22 days now, and to make him work more is just like Bush and his extended tours. WRONG.
So... I be needing copilot, and cheeseburgers are an option.

Sounds like a good plan. As I recall, that area is quite pleasant. I lived within 3 blocks of campus while there, which made my life much easier, as I was starting on the PhD.
I was on one of those university-named streets and across from a farmer's market, so I LOVED chile roasting time. The smell permeated my apartment.
Nice!
I spent part of this morning at the flea market held at the fair grounds. I spent some quality time at some of the food vendors tents where they were roasting the chilies.
It's a smell that I can still breathe right now and is so wonderful.
I became addicted to the green chilies after spending time down here, I can't believe I lived so long without them in my system.
The chilies I tried elsewhere just weren't the same, it is so much better down here and SO ADDICTING!

Her field in Native American literature.
Her diss is on transnational indigenous literature, dealing with American Indians, Canadian First Nations, and the Maori. (Her diss caused and helped pay for our trip to New Zealand.)
Her thesis, roughly and in a nutshell and second hand, is that mobility has always been intrinsic to indigeneity. And so the whole imperialistic notion that indigenous peoples are defined by their "connection to the land" is overly simplistic.
Miriam is smrt and can has cheezburger.
ror - eek, that kind of pressure is horrible to think about. I'm sure miriam will do fine.

Yep. Just a few months back, I flew into Albuquerque, defended the next day, and then flew out.
In retrospect, rather glad I had the hassle to distract me.
I really like the Canadian notion of "First Nations" people. It's got it all-- they're First, and they're Nations. You know, to establish context.

Wow. That is an idea I've never heard, although I know very little about indigenous peoples. My Religious Diversity in America (best undergrad class I took outside the psych department) understood native religions as being connected to place, though.
When I think of the lame-ass topics you can get a PhD in social work for it almost seems shameful not to do one. Principal restriction is geographic for me.

That's one of those oversimplifications. It's not wrong by any means, but the notion that American Indians (or any native peoples) are stuck in place or in time is just dead wrong and very handy for imperialist occupiers (these be my words, not m's).
They've reprised it every so often, with the crew having moved to Toronto, just for added comedy gold. But here's what Wiki says:
The Dead Dog Café Comedy Hour was a radio comedy show on CBC Radio One for four seasons, running from 1997 to 2000.
The show was set in a fictional café of the same name, in the equally fictional town of Blossom, Alberta. Both Blossom and the café were originally described in King's award-winning novel Green Grass, Running Water, though it was run by different characters. The show borrowed numerous elements from King's novel.
The show featured Tom King (playing himself), Jasper Friendly Bear (played by Floyd Favel Starr) and Gracie Heavy Hand (played by Edna Rain). All the main characters were Canadian aboriginals, and the show was a skillful mix of scathing political critique and cheerfully irreverent comedy.
Despite the name, the show was in fact only 15 minutes long, and typically ran as a segment on CBC Radio One's This Morning. The show had a number of regular segments, including:
Gracie's Authentic Traditional Aboriginal Recipes (including puppy stew, fried bologna, and Kraft Dinners)
the Authentic Indian Name generator (featuring three wheels that could automatically create names like "Stewart Coffee Armadillo", or "Rodney Frumpy Cigarette")
Friendly Bear's Blackout Bingo (play bingo at home using a card you made up; the number called was usually "B8")
Gracie's Conversational Cree (designed for simple but useful phrases, such as "Please ask the chauffeur to bring the car around" and "How long will we be in court?")
I like the First Nations thing, too.
My only exposure the the subject is that class and "God is Red."

Sweet.
Isn't he great? I love his writing, I love his show. His work is the subject of a chapter of miriam's diss, in fact.
And, for those who are intrigued, Tom King can reveal to you your Authentic Indian Name.
Mine is Wallace Trivial Chocolate.
I dunno, Eric Silken Duckling just doesn't capture, ya know, my essence.
I got a March, 2005 post from your blog, rors. Am I missing something?

Isn't it time for CoT to interpret the talking heads yet? It's my favorite part of the blogweek!

Oddly, you need to scroll up just a tiny bit, and you'll see the proper post.

Re: my granddaughter
I thought we were going to lose her this eve - actually, just shortly after midnight. Her breathing was shallow and labored, she was gurgling. Her face looked different, more slack. My DIL agreed with me - Alora looked and "felt" close to death. We all gathered at her bedside, my son lying on the bed next to her on the left, DIL sitting by her side on the right, Mr Deere and I at thefoot of her bed. She struggled, and we waited.
Then...she began to move her arms (after about a half hour) and we all watched, stunned, as we realized she was doing Tae Kwon Do moves (she's second degree blue belt in a short time). Rising blocks are the easiest to catch, and others for which we don;t know the names, but which we
have seen her do in class. She did them slowly, somewhat shakily, and when she stopped, she was breathing hard, the effort taking that much out of her. She;d rest a bit, then start again...and again...and agin, until she finally lay, exhausted, but sleeping peacefully, breathing more deeply and regularly.
Jesus fucking Christ - "Warrior Princess", indeed. Took my breath away.
She ain;t ready to go yet - and she will go in her own damn time, her choice.
This doesn;t mean she's going to last long. She can't. But she's not going
docilely, either.
Remarkable child, almost a young woman.
She;s teaching us all. School's almost out for us, I'm afraid, but we are
getting powerful lessons.
XXOO/SD
Sarah, these lessons are remarkable; I am awed that Alora still teaches you. Be in peace and ease, my dear.
Rich continues his narrative on our pathetic "leaders":
So what if the Qaeda that's operating with impunity out of Pakistan, North Africa and other non-Iraq havens actually is the most pressing threat to America? This president is never one to let facts get in the way of a political agenda. That agenda is to avoid taking responsibility for losing a war, no matter how many more Americans are tossed into its carnage. From here on in, you can be sure that whomever we're fighting in Iraq on any given day will be no more than one degree of separation from bin Laden.
Nor do the latest fictionalizations end there. To further prop up the war, Mr. Bush had to find some way to forestall verdicts on the "surge," which commanders had predicted could be judged by late summer. He also had to neutralize last week's downbeat Congress-mandated report card on the Iraqi government's progress toward its 18 benchmarks.
Sarah Deere is Sandra Remarkable Jumper.
That sounds about right to me.
Only immediately connected, depending on how burial customs were done(certain of the mound builders, etc.)
Across the span of a tribe the dictates of habitat would determine moves, food availability, game migrations, and seasonal crops.
So a greater connection to the thing Miriam sees as the center- mobility plays in shaping the culture.
For instance here in NE Arkansas a tribe of Illinois settled at Big Lake/Manila, Caddo were south of them to Marked Tree, and mound builders of twice settled here including Civilized tribe ancestors(De Soto happened upon my town's site).
The groups had essentially the same kind of environmental factors at play and had markedly different cultures and tools.
They moved back across sites others or theirs had used, mobility and trade was a big item. Part of the modern 'close to the land' view helps tribal interests reassert sovereignty(a big issue - Cobell v.Norton) and of course any culture does that, more so in transition phases.
'Principal Restriction' sounds interesting, discuss.
plantsman, I am so very much more at peace watching my g'dtr fight the good fight than I was yesterday. I honor her.
And, as her mom, my beloved DIL, pointed out, Alora will die at the time of her own choosing - that is, given the fact that her body is under seige and that the window is not wide. She will take whatever control is allotted her, and she will exercise it.
That removes pity and fear from the equation, for me. I will weep when she passes - but she defies me to feel sorry for her.

Be wary of asserting what "Miriam sees." Her analysis is far more complex than that.

Always more than welcome, of course.
And you can always see what your beloved gd's Authentic Indian Name is, too, of course!
My Miriam is "Doris Monogrammed Orangutan."
Mobility produces interaction, that should always catalyst change.
Sarah -- that's amazing. What an incredible child she is.
My family also lost a child in a similar fashion. Hospice bereavement care helped us all enormously, and kept my brother's marriage from succumbing to the strain. I hope you all will avail yourself of their help.
There are simply no words to express my sorrow for you. I wish you, and your lovely grandchild, peace at long last.
Sarah it is wonderful to hear that the love she has for all near has brought everyone together.

Well, of course.
And this is part of what fuels the fire of her study--the notion that to be "authentic" native peoples must be static both in space and in time.
This vision is supremely imperialistic and racist. And her study does a very good job of refuting it.
(Of course, I may be a tad biased.)
Impeachment sheets.
I only know a bit about California natives, but they have an extremely complex history. Mass waves of migration, differing religious movements sweeping the central valley, language changes and so forth. It'll never be pieced together completely.
That removes pity and fear from the equation, for me. I will weep when she passes - but she defies me to feel sorry for her.
