Craig Ferguson can really deliver a joke. That's the mark of a great comedian. They can deliver and time a joke in such a way as to make even bad material funny. America doesn't make comedians like this. Ferguson is as good as any of the great comedians from the UK. He has complete control of the room. This performance by Ferguson is a revelation.

Honest to goodness there used to be an AM radio station in this town with the call letters, WTRU. It is no longer functioning but I would imagine that the designation is still available.

The Clintons are a scrappy crew, and most Democrats have appreciated this at one point or another in the past. Most were grateful for their scrappiness when the bottom fell out in 1994. In just two years, Bill Clinton went from defending his relevancy to trouncing Bob Dole. That's the thing about the Clintons. They play until the buzzer sounds.

I watched a bit of Obama's rally. There are obvious plants in his audience. A guy claiming to be an Iraqi war vet, said he had talked to Hillary's campaign chairman for veteran's affairs and was told that the status quo was pretty good, which the Obama crowd bought hook, line and sinker. How low is Obama going to stoop? He knows better and the fact he didn't call it out implies to me that the guy was a plant.
So Chimpy's farewell to the press corpse was to enlist them in one more round of war cheerleading.

These are legitimate questions I have not seen asked. As a resident of a border state, it is a big thing. I don't have a passport at this time so I guess I can't go to Canada anymore till I get one. How stupid is that? We used to go all of the time. Not a big deal.

Three strikes laws are state laws. Bill Clinton didn't have much to do with them as president.
But Powell does know fakeness, intimately.
From Greenwald: Howard Dean's prescient reaction to the Colin Powell U.N. slideshow, which Dean delivered in a speech on Febraury 17, 2003 at Drake University:
Secretary Powell's recent presentation at the UN showed the extent to which we have Iraq under an audio and visual microscope. Given that, I was impressed not by the vastness of evidence presented by the Secretary, but rather by its sketchiness.

Although Sen. Obama voted for the legislation, he has spoken as if he opposed it on the campaign trail, criticizing it repeatedly. At a presidential debate he said "You can look at how Dick Cheney did his energy policy…he met with oil and gas companies forty times, and that's how they put together our energy policy." He's attributed the failure of our current energy policy to Congress's "failure to stand up to the lobbyists."
Sen. Obama's rhetoric blasting the policies of Vice President Dick Cheney and energy lobbyists can be stirring. But Obama's actions haven't matched his words.

Judge delays sentencing so soldiers can deploy to Iraq.
Two soldiers involved in an altercation outside a city bar in which gunshots were fired pleaded guilty to misdemeanor handgun charges today and were sentenced to probation.
But a Baltimore judge agreed to delay signing the sentencing order, allowing the soldiers to leave Maryland and join their Fort Hood, Texas-based unit in Iraq for a 15-month tour in the war zone.
That's great. Two guys who bring guns when they go to a bar will be allowed to continue serving in the military. Lower the standards some more, Little Boots. This is working out so well.
Yes, the military intervened in this case to make sure the sentence was delayed.

Look, dumbass. only a few of us know how evil that act is. only a few. the Republicans would make mincemeat out of a candidate coming out against the PATRIOT ACT. Why do you think they framed it like that?
Jesus, you're thick.
In 1994 Mel Reynolds, member of U.S. House of Representatives for Illinois's 2nd congressional district, was indicted for a sexual relationship with an underage campaign volunteer. Palmer filed for the Democratic nomination to his seat but was defeated in a special election held November 1995 by Jesse Jackson, Jr. She had, with a degree of formality that is disputed, anointed Barack Obama as her chosen successor in the State Senate, but after her defeat she filed to retain the Democratic nomination for the 13th District. Obama was able, however, to successfully challenge enough signatures to disqualify not only the incumbent but the other three candidates for the Democratic nomination as well, which he won unopposed.

Give me a break, how old are you?
Given Senator John McCain’s signature stance on campaign finance reform, it was not surprising that he backed legislation last year requiring presidential candidates to pay the actual cost of flying on corporate jets. The law, which requires campaigns to pay charter rates when using such jets rather than cheaper first-class fares, was intended to reduce the influence of lobbyists and create a level financial playing field.
But over a seven-month period beginning last summer, Mr. McCain’s cash-short campaign gave itself an advantage by using a corporate jet owned by a company headed by his wife, Cindy McCain, according to public records. For five of those months, the plane was used almost exclusively for campaign-related purposes, those records show.
Mr. McCain’s campaign paid a total of $241,149 for the use of that plane from last August through February, records show. That amount is approximately the cost of chartering a similar jet for a month or two, according to industry estimates.
The senator was able to fly so inexpensively because the law specifically exempts aircraft owned by a candidate or his family or by a privately held company they control. The Federal Election Commission adopted rules in December to close the loophole — rules that would have required substantial payments by candidates using family-owned planes — but the agency soon lost the requisite number of commissioners needed to complete the rule making.

What difference does that make? I could never learn to be as obtuse and shallow as you if I lived to be 150. You very obviously are completely clueless as to how the political game is being played out right now, or you'd understand that elections cannot be won by exposing yourself to the Republican monster of super-patriotism. there are two issues: the war and the economy. the Patriot act can only be rolled back by a Democratic winner. A Dem has no chance of winning running against the patriot act.

What you need to understand, child, is it doesn't matter who wins the election.
Things have Changed.
The very fact you claim that candidates for President need to fear Patriotism if they speak agaisnt an evil act with an evil name, is proof of that Change.
The fact that you are advocating silence in elections, silence in America of the very things that take our FREEDOMS away, is a very fucking SCARY thing.
It should be FOUGHT against. It should be spoken of constantly, Freedom at HOME, Freedom in AMERICA for AMERICANS should be the TOP priority in any election.
America used to equal freedom. Now you tell me that freedom can't even be spoken of.
Jeez. Lots of egregious female flesh at that dinner. That's entertainment...

FYI:
Federal "Three Strikes" in the 1994 Crime Bill
"- Tossing third-time felons into prison for life - "three strikes, you're out" - while allowing the release of some over age 70 after they serve 30 years. The first two felonies could be state crimes of violence or drugs, but the third must be a violent crime and must be adjudicated in federal court."

Let me see if I get this. The Correspondents' Dinner is a celebration of the government and those who are supposed to cover their actions, reporting the news. But apparently things are so cozy and dull that they're now bringing in starlets to hobnob with the Hollywood b-crowd?

You are an ass. that's not news. You have the emotional maturity of a 7-year-old, without the intelligence. that's not news either. I said nothing of the candidates fearing Patriotism. I said that they will be crucified by the rightwing-owned press, and I was right. Silence is a tactic. I have no doubt that President Obama will roll back the Patriot Act. I have no doubt that he will lose if he promises that. I'm sorry that you're a fucking moron and don't understand politics, but I am not responsible for idiots like you and bugs, who are exactly the reason that we are in such deep shit.

Barack Obama says he never took money from oil companies...
THE TRUTH: Energy company employees donated over $650,000 to Barack Obama and got what they wanted!
Barack Obama voted with the Bush/Cheney Adminsistration and the special interests to give billions of dollars to energy companies.
Energy Companies Got Billions...
$6 Billion in subsidies to the oil and gas industgry
$12 Billion in subsidies to the nuclear power industry.

- Tossing third-time felons into prison for life - "three strikes, you're out" - while allowing the release of some over age 70 after they serve 30 years. The first two felonies could be state crimes of violence or drugs, but the third must be a violent crime and must be adjudicated in federal court.

Most of the controversy has been over California's state 'three strikes' bill, and others.
I regret my error and thank you for pointing it out.

I have no doubt that President Obama will roll back the Patriot Act.
Why don't yu have any doubt? Has he voted agaisnt extending it?
Has he TOLD you he will repeal it? You have no reason at all to assume a damn thing and you are a fool if you do.

No, babe. You can't replace white flour with whole wheat flour in a bread recipe. You will end up with, as I did when I tried it, a gelatinous glob of cement. All things , I suppose, in moderation.
I haven't mastered whole wheat bread, but trust me, it can turn out to be just another brick in the wall.
I'd like to learn the optimum ratios but after that first fiasco I haven't tried whole wheat bread again. I can do passable white bread though.

Here's a teaser.
McCain’s Compassion Tour
By GAIL COLLINS (edited by DWD)
John McCain — the Republican presidential nominee — has been visiting the working poor lately. Appalachia, New Orleans, Rust Belt factory towns. This is a good thing, and we applaud his efforts to show compassion and interest in people for whom his actual policies and experience are of no use whatsoever. Please remember that Senator McCain has never actually had a job that required him to work for a living other than being Cindy’s husband.
McCain’s special, “It’s Time for Action Tour” was in the impoverished Kentucky town of Inez on Wednesday, so he was unable to make it to Washington to vote on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. This is the bill that would restore workers’ ability to go to court in cases of pay discrimination. It would have made no difference. He stated boldly that he would have voted against equal pay for women anyway. He is fearless when it comes to delivering unpleasant news to people who are probably not going to vote for him anyway. When you are insulated by staff and 100 million dollars, ten houses, and a lifetime of preferential treatment: it is easy to be stupid.
No, babe. You can't replace white flour with whole wheat flour in a bread recipe. You will end up with, as I did when I tried it, a gelatinous glob of cement. All things , I suppose, in moderation.
Hence my questions here. I have a recipe for wholewheat bread which should turn out ok, though it's not as fail-proof. I've never really learned to bake with dried yeast, though, and worry about the correct rates of substitution, because the ones the packet gives don't seem to be right.
It's like being the sophomore sitting in the back of the classroom of a more senior class and listening in to the kewl kidz' banter. I like hangin' in this joint.

SteveLG, I'm intrigued by the proposed AustinEschacon in June. I will be going to way-the-hell-and-gone South Texas for a June 20 wedding, my nephew's. It's pretty daunting. If there were a way to stop off in Austin, and meet some atriots, it would make the difference in the fly/drive calculus. I'm a UT alum and I'd like to show my kiddo around the town, COUGH-Barton Springs- cough. It's a tough calculation, but an atriots' gathering at the right time might do it for me.

Early reviews of Mathew Yglesias' first book,
"A very serious, thoughtful argument that has never been made in such detail or with such care."
—Ezra Klein, staff writer at The American Prospect
Nothing that ever took place in the Roman Coliseum can match the debauchery, insanity, and cruelty of the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
No, seriously. I hate these people for laughing along with George Bush.
It seems like this is the 'all out attack on obama' weekend. Even AAR host are sliming Barack.
I think this race is bigger than Barack more than ever a vote for Obama is a vote for change in the right direction.
For once, I'm glad there are no new sheets. I feel like it's just us friends tonight.

Methinks es-chat-con in which everyone shows up with their cats would be great.
Another review of Yglesias from amazon reader Tyler Cowen,
;Everyone who reads books on foreign policy should read this book. It is well-argued throughout and gets at fundamentals, rather than just slinging the latest epithets over our latest blunders in Iraq. I don't in every way agree with the author's recipe for liberal internationalism but overall this is a smarter book than whichever other tome you are likely to pick up on foreign policy'
I could bring my dog. She thinks she's a cat.
It's a tough calculation, but an atriots' gathering at the right time might do it for me.

And try Bob's Red Mill for supplies. They have graham flour (which if they follow Dr. Graham's rules is nothing but whole-wheat flour) and quite a number of other varieties. I assume you are looking for hard wheat for bread making; most of what's sold here is the soft red kind, although not labeled as such.
Somebody brought the starter for Amish friendship bread to chior on Thursday. Ominous looking stuff when it's in a ziplock bag. It may be the new zucchini.

Your assuptions are those of an idiot loser. If Obama gets the nomination, he will win. Case closed. Unless assholes like you sit on their fat asses and do nothing to change things. Obama only loses if you don't help; it's that simple. Ned Lamont came from nowhere to defeat Lieberman in the primary, he was counted out time and time again. He won, and I helped. That's how it's done. Obama can and will win, unless this foolishness continues into October. Unfortunately, Clinton is too pigheaded to realize the absolute undefeatability of Obama/Clinton. But, that's politics. Ego and ambition.
"If Obama gets the nom, McCain will eat him up."
Hmmmm...
No, I don't think so..
As much as I'd like to hang around and tease annie, we being such old acquaintances and all, it's been a very long day.
Night all.
If Obama gets the nom, McCain will eat him up.
No, I don't think so.
I think Obama knows how to speak to people if he gets the opportunity to speak directly. And he will as the Democratic nominee. Yes, through all the media filtration and McCain boosting.
It will be a difficult campaign. But it will be a huge election for the US.
For its government, and for its relationship with its corporate media.
If McCain actually does debate Obama, Obama will make him look like the senile, crazy old psycho whore that he is.."Maverick", my ass.
Digging my little bag of graham flour out of the cupboard to check the maker's name, I look at it closely and discover it has flour bugs in it. So of course right under the Bob's name and URL I see, for the first time because it is in little teeny print "Best kept frozen...."

Obama wins based on what?
Even if he does win, what can he do? Bring home the troops? He's even backtracked on that! He knows he can't do it, he doesn't have anything to say except change!! CHANGE!!

Hey, that's my outlook on such things, for any insectile errata that small anyway. I figure our ancestors for all but the last tiny sliver of our history regarded any foodstuff far too valuble to throw away for something as trivial as that, and they (mostly) survived. Or if they croaked it sure wasn't from eating flour bugs.
Other family members however do not share my elevated approach on such matters, so...

They'll try to, but Obama doesn't have the typical delivery of the "angry black man". If anything, he'll goad McCrazy into one of his temper tantrums, which Obama will then use to bring temperament into the equation.

Age and treachery will prevail over youth and ability is my motto.
met a buddy of mine for a beer earlier tonight at the only tavern in a small town of maybe 200 folks. more accurately, it's an artists colony as the town is dominated by sculptors, potters, painters, etc.
a guy walks in that i've seen there before. dude can't be but 5' tall. he's obviously wound up and starts doing a littany of short jokes (way overcompensating) that aren't even funny, or more accurately, are downright crude. then he moves on to some distasteful ethnic/sexist crap making most of the patrons quite uncomfortable. loud and obnoxious would be an understatement.
then he points out that he lives on an acreage near there and starts pissing and moaning about a new 200' windtower that is just beginning to be erected directly across the road from his front door. he goes on and on about it ad nauseum. people are making eye contact with each other as no one knows how to shut the stupid fucker up.
when he finally stops to take a breath my usually subdued buddy, who is sitting right next to him up at the bar, turns to him says, 'buddy, i'd look at it this way. at least you won't have to worry about walking into one of the fucking rotors...'
brought the house down.

It's one of the things I try and figure out when people are looking for recommendations... they ask about a particular wine which has notable 'terroir' and ask you if it's good and yeah it is but I don't think it's what you're looking for.

And sure enough, the cheese stands alone.

He's done an amazing amount of good stuff.
Mr. McCain is not only burdened with the most despised president in his own 71-year lifetime, but he’s getting none of the seasoning that he, no less than the Democrats, needs to compete in the fall. Age is as much an issue as race and gender in this campaign. Mr. McCain will have to prove not merely that he can keep to the physical rigors of his schedule and fend off investigations of his ties to lobbyists and developers. He also must show he can think and speak fluently about the domestic issues that are gripping the country. Picture him debating either Democrat about health care, the mortgage crisis, stagnant middle-class wages, rice rationing at Costco. It’s not pretty.
Frank Rich
Insane McCain should just retire and become a greeter at a local Walmart. Then again with his short temper maybe not.
That's some good Frank Rich, right there.
Do you think anyone is listening?

Ohmifucking god Maureen Dowd:
Maybe I’ve been reading too many stories about the fad of teenage vampire chick lit, worlds filled with parasitic aliens and demi-human creatures, but there’s something eerie going on in this race.
Hillary grows more and more glowy as Obama grows more and more wan.
Is she draining him of his precious bodily fluids? Leeching his magic? Siphoning off his aura?
It used to be that he was incandescent and she was merely inveterate. Now she’s bristling with life force, and he looks like he wants to run away somewhere for three months by himself and smoke.
Please do not let Molly Ivors' head explode.
McCain may try to spin that ol' Reagan line about not holding Mondale's "youth and inexperience" against him, but I don't think it's gonna work.
And for what it's worth, I think the Republicans could nominate Mother Teresa (were she still living), and the Democrats Richard Nixon (were he still living), and the Republicans would STILL lose the White House in November.
700K new Democrats in PA. 300K in VA. 130K and rising in IN.

"The lasting image of President Bush at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner may be this: bouncing slightly off-beat with a gleeful smile on his face and a baton in his hand last night as he conducted 'The President's Own' U.S. Marine Band through a medley of patriotic songs.
Leave it to Bush to shake up an event that, after 93 years, has become as traditional, perhaps even formulaic, in its trappings as a recipe: Start with Hollywood glamour. Add heaping spoonfuls of bona fide Beltway celebrity, and stir. Top with the president of the United States. Place in an overly warm hotel ballroom for several hours, then serve."

Administration Says Particulars May Trump Geneva Protections
By Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, April 27, 2008; A11
The Geneva Conventions' ban on "outrages against personal dignity" does not automatically apply to terrorism suspects in the custody of U.S. intelligence agencies, the Justice Department has suggested to Congress in recent letters that lay out the Bush administration's interpretation of the international treaty.
...
"Some prohibitions . . . such as the prohibition on 'outrages against personal dignity,' do invite the consideration of the circumstances surrounding the action," Brian A. Benczkowski, the principal deputy assistant attorney general, asserted in one of the letters.

"Which brings us to Hillary's recent description of what she would do if Iran launched a nuclear attack on Israel. Given that Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons and is not at all likely to attack Israel, she could have rejected the question. But instead, in true Cheney style, she pledged "massive retaliation," noting that "we would be able to totally obliterate them."

like a gift from the heavens it was easy to tell
it was love from above that could save me from hell
she had fire in her soul it was easy to see
how the devil himself could be pulled out of me
there were drums in the air as she started to dance
every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
and we sang… into the night

The Ibanez copies in the 70s were so good and precise, they were forced to stop making them by the big guitar companies.

they still make good guitars, but i don't ever remember coming across a rick copy from them. so if it is - i'll bet it sounded almost as good.

NEW YORK (AP) - Hundreds of angry people marched through Harlem on Saturday after the Rev. Al Sharpton promised to "close this city down" to protest the acquittals of three police detectives in the 50-shot barrage that killed a groom on his wedding day and wounded two friends.
"We strategically know how to stop the city so people stand still and realize that you do not have the right to shoot down unarmed, innocent civilians," Sharpton told an overflow crowd of several hundred people at his National Action Network office in the historically black Manhattan neighborhood. "This city is going to deal with the blood of Sean Bell."

An African-American woman protesting the verdict in the Bell case was carrying a sign saying justice has no future for black males -- only Revolution does! And while that's an understandable sentiment, the history of revolutions and their aftermath is not encouraging.

It's scary getting older. Especially with the rapid acceleration of time after age 30. Twenty years ago seems like yesterday.
LFoD, hard for me to say. When I was younger and healthier I burned myself on the altar of small business, working endless hours trying to do everything for the nursery I ran to make it as perfect as possible. The result: high blood pressure and a stroke that ended my career. I'm not dead but I can't do what I did any longer.
and a horny little devil cat at that. i'll stop right there...
i saw mellencamp a couple of years ago up at the fargodome. best concert i've ever been to...
then when i was in vegas awhile back, he/him and fogerty were doing a gig together but i couldn't seem to pry myself away from the tables...

On October 18, 1974, Mary Woodson, a longtime friend of Al Green, assaulted him, then killed herself. It is believed that she ardently wished to be more than just a friend to Al Green. One night, she left the guest quarters, then entered the main section of the house without permission. She sneaked into his bathroom to make a surprise attack. With no warning whatsoever, she threw a large pot of sticky boiling grits over him as he was undressed and preparing to shower. As Al Green writhed in pain, she ran into another part of the house and committed suicide by shooting herself.

Lyle Lovett is one strange-looking, very talented dude -- that's how he married her: for a moment, however short, he stole her heart.
I never understood the "I-love-you-so-much-I-wanna-cover-you-in-boiling-
grits" thing.
KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other dignitaries quickly scrambled toward safety when the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance interrupted a military ceremony they were attending in Kabul Sunday morning.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai was unharmed after an attack by Taliban forces at a military ceremony.
The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the attack which happened at a Mujahideen Day ceremony, honoring those who fought against the Soviet Union after it invaded Afghanistan in 1979.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mojahed issued a statement:
"Six of our Fedayeen martyrs entered to the stadium for the ceremony. They were heavily armed with mortars and machine guns. This was an organized attack. When the national anthem started, they started the attack. Three were killed and three have survived."
The Taliban also claimed its fighters were within 30 yards of the reviewing stand where Karzai and other dignitaries were standing.
PROGRESS!!!!

St. John McCain flew extensively on a Cessna Citation jet owned by his wife last year when his campaign was broke, and paid the lowest amount possible. What a surprise!

Very nice.
i am a software engineer. i have learned over the years that if you have tried everything logical and you still can't make it work, start to try some random shit. i call this 'engineering by monkeying around'.
well, the goddamned 'airport' wireless internet broadcasting box went forblunget. tried resetting it according to hoyle - nothing. i made plans to go into an apple store tomorrow, but i wouldn't survive as an engineer if i wasn't irrationaly stubborn. so i tried something random: i turned it the other way around and plugged it in that way. why not?
now it works like a charm
.
Good. About time this guy stopped getting a free ride.
I am sure that various republican members of congress will be screaming about this the way they were about Pelosi demanding a larger jet to go back and forth to California.
"no - it was yanking me & fokowi."

we used to do that a lot in the 80s becuz the network boards we would stick in a motherboard slot would get jiggled loose. we'd send two harware engineers halfway across town to the site - one to distract the owner, the other to give the cpu box a whack. that would always settle the network board right back in
and then you bill them a nice little service charge
you know the old joke "why did you charge me $100 bucks? all you did was hit it with a hammer!"
itemized bill:
hitting unit with a hammer: $1.00
knowing where to hit it: $99.00

and avoiding having to explain exactly how your 'fix' worked? pricelesser!
well, it's different in software. the engineers fresh out of school usually try to figure things out logically. this will only take you so far. sometimes you have no way of finding out enough about a software component to debug it down to the bits, so you have to start screwing around with it randomly to see if you can shake out some new information. i call this 'poking it with a stick'
