An anthropologist from Mars would no doubt giggle at the insistence of oligarchical media institutions that they have serve no purpose in such a hierarchical society of concentrated wealth other than seeking the truth.
"Of course they do," the anthropologist would say, and then go on about their business of studying who actually runs such institutions and for which interests.
Unless the Martians had their own Heritage Foundations with their own crank anthropologists, and then we'd get declarations about how it must be the TEACHERS UNIONS what control everything.

I suspect that there's a "trailer trash" aspect to the dislike of Huckabee (they no doubt prefer old money types like Bush), but also a fear of the fact that he's a real fundy. Folks belonging to their religious base are meant to be conned and played for suckers, not elected themselves.

I think that's it. They are the philosopher-princes-in-waiting. The Democrats should and will listen to them on Mukasey, then (in their minds) Mukasey will listen to them on how to bring justice to the Bush administration. When Mukasey proves to be a Cheney-zombie, they will call for a bipartisan effort to reasonably persuade Mukasey to be reasonble, without anything so vulgar as "finger-pointing" and the "blame game".

Rep. Julia Carson, the first black and first woman to represent Indianapolis in Congress, died Saturday, a family spokeswoman said. She was 69.
Carson died after a battle with lung cancer, spokeswoman Vanessa Summer said.
Carson announced last month that she was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and that she would not run next year for a seventh term representing the city of Indianapolis. She had not been in Washington since September, when she was hospitalized with a leg infection.
Carson was elected to Indianapolis' predominantly Democratic 7th District in 1996. She championed children's issues, women's rights and efforts to reduce homelessness and was a staunch opponent of the war in Iraq.
She began her political career in the 1960s when then-Rep. Andy Jacobs Jr. hired her to work in his office. Jacobs encouraged Carson to run for the Indiana Legislature in 1972 _ the first of more than two dozen victories in local, legislative and congressional elections. She ran for Congress in 1996 after Jacobs retired.

I think there's stupid and then there's stupid. Some people who are called stupid are simply uneducated but have a lot of common sense and understand how the world works.

I can't get over the Paulistas.
I actually got this comment today:
I'm a life long democrat and consider myself a liberal. I am neither young, nor idealistic. What I am is scared of what the country is becoming. I support Ron Paul, to the extent I do, because I want to diminish the power of the federal government. I support Ron Paul because he seems to have a consistent, principled position. I don't agree with many of his positions. However, on the things that matter most to me, there is no other Republican I can agree with at all.
Why is a "lifelong Democrat ... liberal" trying to find a Republican with whom to agree?

The only thing I agree with him is about the war.

However, the Gemenids did put on a very nice second act show for us. We had meteors all over the place, perhaps 2 dozen exploders that left nice trails.

Naw; need bacon for good gravy. Two patties wouldn't work up enough fat, even if I liked sausage gravy.
I think it'll be Monday after work before the rain stops.
sounds like a pretty austere breakfast to me then. I have some clarified bacon fat in the fridge, do you want some? Maybe UNE has the tubes open by now.
What do you make of this (besides a hat, a brooch, or a pterodactyl)? It's part of another comment I received today:
I'm a Paul supporter, but I would also be thrilled if Kucinich were to win. Paul and Kucinich are good friends, they've introduced a lot of bills together, and both have responded favorably to suggestions that they pick the other as VP. Kucinich has also mentioned he'd be willing to be VP for Paul.
Aw, hell. It's noon, so maybe I'll just do a frozen pizza.

They can rarely keep that "lifelong Democrat" schtick up for an entire phone call/paragraph.
The ones who do it on CSPAN are the best, they start out with the "lifelong Democrat" and are in what sounds like a purple faced rage about Clinton, Carter or Roosevelt within two minutes.

A Wayzata money manager who once played host to President Bush at his posh lakefront mansion is facing legal troubles in connection with a $2.3 million judgment against him.
James Jundt, a former co-owner of the Minnesota Vikings, now has that home for sale for $53.5 million.
Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson issued an 18-page order Friday placing Jundt Associates Inc. into receivership, turning the company over to a neutral third party, James Bartholomew of Lighthouse Management Group in Stillwater.
The order came after Jundt and his son Marcus failed to satisfy an August ruling by Larson that they owed former hedge fund manager Paul Bottum $2.3 million in unpaid bonuses and interest.
I'm shocked to hear that there's someone with the last name of Larson living in Minnesota.
