Good afternoon.
AFTERNOON AGAIN
but america wants sweethearts, skanky or not.
hey quilt lady!
I think Jenna is a closet Democrat.
who doesn't like a wedding?
The Bushes have been pimping this wedding for all it's worth--or not.
I had not heard she was getting married today until today.
who doesn't like a wedding?
raises hand
Forget Jenna and NotJenna...
Who's the single Arab babe?
mrrrowwwwlll!
Obama is America's sweetheart.
And let's not pretend Kelly Ripa is America's number one mom.
Christ, does big tobacco own the media now?
Heard the area around Crawford had some rather large hail last night...and today they're gonna melt.
And for the reception...

I'd hit it.
Time to invade Myanmar?
The government of Myanmar hasn't shown the ability or willingness to deploy the kind of assets needed to deal with the calamity caused by last week's cyclone. That is why, according to time.com, it's time to consider a more serious option: invading the country also known as Burma.
CNN Headline right now.
Is it just me, or is this a completely fucking insane idea that will accomplish nothing and lead to even more chaos and death?
Moe, is mrs. moe around? Are you getting any work done?
I'd hit it.
Moe Szyslak, cold
Good lord, she looks like W in drag! Which may be redundant....
I just wonder why the Bush family hates churches?
Any normal Republican would have their daughter be married in a church. Bush be a strange cult family, not able to be married in a church.
Hillary Clinton is now officially on the wrong side of history. We'll move into a new age with or without her. If she wants to show she can win WV for vanity then that's just what they'll say about her in the history books.
She can still repair her reputation if she supports the wave of the future. At this point, though, she's run amok and is just another sad case.
They didn't "grow up" in the White House, they went off to college. There is no mass public interest in them because there hasn't been sustained coverage of them.
Why the fuck aren't they in Iraq fighting for freedom with other female "heroes"?
Sheesh, it's not like anyone invaded us after Katrina...
Hey ql! No, Mrs. Moe is in Toronto, for another week yet. But, I'm getting work done. Fixed up the front yard this morning, dug in the garden some more, but now it's raining. Got big house projects for the weekend...

for what it's worth, the Bushes are assholes.
Like me.
Kind of disgusting when you notice just how much Jenna's new hubby looks exactly like her cousin Pierce.

Face it, you are a much more insignificant asshole than they are. That's why you'll have a more comfy room in Hell.

People in Iraq marry their cousins all the time.
Why do you hate Iraqis?
Plus, the Wilkes always marry their cousins, silly.
Heard that an estimated 80% of the mangrove forests have been destroyed and replaced with shrimp and fish farms which cater mainly to American fast food restaurants. The mangroves didn't give complete protection from cyclones from years past, but definitely minimized their impact.
But hell, let's just invade...they got kick ass natural resources!
I think you need kittehs for gnawing.

So if out of the blue a tornado wiped out the Crawford ranch today would Pat Robertson claim it was the wrath of God?
I have paid some attention to the wedding date, only because I assumed the father of the bride would wait until after the wedding to bomb Iran.

Bill Ayers didn't do enough.
Myanmar has some of the sweetest tasting tiger shrimp in the world. We should remember, however, that Burmese men have very large bearings.

Pat Robertson once proved "conclusively" that Anwar Sadat was the Antichrist. I'd say his opinion means nothing.

There's definitely a chance for more severe weather today...lots of heat and humidity. Oh, and the lovely smoke from Mexico.

Stunt Woman
What are the quotation marks referring to?
Perhaps Jessica Lynch, the female "hero" who wasn't?
Now that I think about it, I would proclaim a tornado strike on the Bush compound an act of God that should leave no unbelievers in it's wake.
Not to speak for him, but I think stunt woman's point is that no American in Iraq is a hero.
Perhaps that limestone altar will come in handy as a shelter...
I wonder if Ken Lay will attend the wedding?
What are the quotation marks referring to?
The fact that enlisting in the military and fighting in Iraq doesn't make a person a "hero."
On the contrary. A real "hero" would be someone who enlists and then, when called up to go to Iraq, tells the US Government to go fuck itself.
Perhaps Jessica Lynch, the female "hero" who wasn't?
Well, she did something very brave in a way, by speaking out most honestly about what actually took place, who took care of her and so on, and how Lori Piestema (I think) really was quite heroic.
I want the vulgar "Texas Limestone Cross" struck down. Would an Electric Chair, another means of execution, been appropriate for a wedding?
Besides, wouldn't they be she-roes?
Lori Piestewa took fire and died fighting.
Well, she did something very brave in a way, by speaking out most honestly about what actually took place
Word.
I was teasing!
Lynch got played by Bushco, just like the Tillman Family did.
Lori Piestewa took fire and died fighting.
That's a tragedy. It's no more heroic, however, than someone overdosing on crack in Joplin, Missouri.
It was a total double-standard- the media covered or went after Chelsea (or at least broadcast the Republicans' wisecracks at her), but when it was time for Bush to be in the White House, it was a total hands-off policy by the media on Jenna and Non-Jenna. The (Republican controlled) media went after Bill and Hill's kid, but treated Bush's kids in the healthiest way possible for them.
Some might think it goes against the media's usual tendencies to not cover the wedding too much, but you have to remember- the Republicans care about how the US looks to outsiders, but in a different way than we do. They want us to look like a tough, masculine, kind of unhinged warrior society. They don't want us to obsess about our own ruling-classes weddings in public (the British monarchy's is a different matter, because the Republicans want us to be pro-monarchy or pro-authoriatarian, more broadly- so any positive interest in or romanticization of the British monarchy is a plus for them).
All I can envision is J.R. Ewing hosting a big shindig finally dumping Lucy.
The people in Phoenix named a mountain after Piestewa, nonetheless.
FUCK BUSH!
OTOH, why bother?

Tricia Nixon's White House wedding was ridiculously huge and televised, but nice try.

Need some aid?
Fuck, let's invade

Time to invade Myanmar?
With what army?
Again, that's not any kind of criticism of them, but let's not pretend they're America's Sweethearts when they just aren't.
Agreed.
Wonder if Jenna was in Austin last night, partying down?
invading the country also known as Burma.
You better let us help you or we'll give you something to starve about!
Good afternoon, Friends.
"let's not pretend they're America's Sweethearts when they just aren't."
They're the daughters of the WORST president ever.
If I was in their place, I wouldn't want to be in the national news either.
Jenna and Henry were at the Ranchito.
Explain to me again why Jenna isn't "bringing it on" over in the "most important battle of the twenty-first century" against the "folks" who tried to kill her grandad and somehow "supported" the "folks" who flew a plane into the Pentagon?
A real "hero" would be someone who enlists and then, when called up to go to Iraq, tells the US Government to go fuck itself.

Oh, we can split off a few of the Iranian Invasion Force to mop up in Burma.
Breaking: Jenna runs down fiance, pleads "Mommy steerest"
But. . . . you're killing Crawford's economy, Atrios!
I think for the most part the media left Chelsea alone, and I think (though, as I was out of the country during 80% of Carter's administration) they left Amy Carter alone also.
There were some unbelievably nasty remarks thrown at Chelsea by some GOP schmuck, and those were repeated by the media.
It's sorta like the Mafia: there's an unwritten rule that presidential kids are for the most part left alone, unless they do something that invites a lot of scrutiny, or else at an adult age inject themselves into politics (the Reagan kids.)
Jenna is Barbara Bush's granddaughter, and you'd have to go thru her first.
Good afternoon Moonbats,
Hot & humid here in central TX... good chance that rancho Potemkin will have bad weather it is 84*, 62% humidity and the wind is from the ssw @ 18 mph. 30% chance of afternoon T-storms
Lovely day for a wedding.
"She got hers. Now he'll get his."
Oooh, wouldn't it be cool if Jenna and hubby meet up with Dr. Frankenfurter tonight?
Okay, off to buy phones and get a hair-shearing.
bbl
.
I wonder if Ken Lay will attend the wedding?
Jeff Skilling won't. He's still in jail.
Wonder if Jenna was in Austin last night, partying down?
rehearsal dinner.
If you think about it, we don't even have a line of Jenna and Not-Jenna trading cards, and celebrities and talkshow hosts aren't constantly praising them for being fab. And you may thinh that's kind of weird, considering how the media usually acts- for example, running Dem primary debates ridiculously, so the substantive conent is nil, or put at the end of the show.
But your understanding of how the Republicans fashion their message is a little incomplete, then. They are a little more quack-psychological then you think. The Republicans do not want American to be fussing about some young feminine girlies. They want America to be about kicking ass. So a lot of gushing over Republican (male) politicians is good, but gushing over chicks whose lives are just about dating dudes is not their thing.
"She got hers. Now he'll get his."
heh.
Back in the day, when my pals were getting married and the custom was to paint up the getaway car, I used to write the above on every poor bastard's vehicle.
There are Jenna and Henry commemorative mouse-pads, coffee mugs, and other attendant tea-towel 'collectibles' for sale in Crawford shops that the media has covered -- but again, nice theory.
BooMan closes with wishes that Jenna have a happy marriage and a good life, and them's my sentiments alike.
Swan, they are selling commemorative plates a la Charles and Diana.
If Ken Lay can get a pass out of hell, he can warm up the nuptial bedroom.
BooMan closes with wishes that Jenna have a happy marriage and a good life, and them's my sentiments alike.
Like I said, at least she had the good sense to have the wedding off the taxpayers' premises.
And she might vote for Obama.
But if I were she, I'd tell my father to take down the limestone cross before it falls and crushes one of my guests.
The cross stands in a small "lake" on the ranchito.
I want the steer skull with their names on it. That just yells "Happy Wedding!" to me.
And she might vote for Obama.
she tell you that in your dream the other night?
Some might think it goes against the media's usual tendencies to not cover the wedding too much...
If Tipsy McStagger wasn't the most hated name in presidential history, they'd be all over this bullshit 24-7. With the RNC's blessing and Johnny Maverick by his side for every second of TV time he could get.
As it is, who's going to watch?
There is a morning after breakfast scheduled, during which the president will toast Mr. and Mrs. Jenna under an "Emission Accomplished" banner.
If Obama takes the oath next January, my wife will suddenly and hungrily realize that I'm an 18 year old Adonis.
Again, that's not any kind of criticism of them, but let's not pretend they're America's Sweethearts when they just aren't.
I always thought they were America's Night Club Quickies.
The cross stands in a small "lake" on the ranchito
No, it's next to the lake. Along with the giant limestone altar.
Which isn't to say that it won't fall into the lake.
Poor Crawford...one last moment to grab 'em some spotlight and perhaps a little dough from kitschy jip-joint "Jenna & Henry" collectables, and then...back into the dustbin of history with them.
I can hear my late mother screaming bloody murder that she would not have that hideous cross at her wedding!
Which isn't to say that it won't fall into the lake.
they can use the same bulldozer that dug the "lake" to pull out the limestone.
What the cross needs is a good dousing with blood, for dramatic effect.
and as far as "intimate" goes, I really don't think a wedding in which there are 14 bridesmaids and groomsmen is really all that "downscale".
by which I'm criticizing the reporter, not the bride, BTW.
"Twin" Barbara is the only bridesmaid - the others
are "attendants"
There is a mythological dimension to the focus on the families of our leaders. I would like to go back to the days wnen the lineage of our leaders was created on mountaintops where they were raped by morphed swans.
I want the steer skull with their names on it. That just yells "Happy Wedding!" to me.
I'll bet if you turn it over, it goes Mooooooooooo.
I wish res were there to live blog it!

Sounds like a job for Shrub - he loves playing with the oversized Tonka toys.
and no, NotJenna is the maid of honor. there are 14 bridesmaids.
OK, even my Dalmatian called bullshit on my last post. I'm old.

When I think of all the guys who have died in Iraq, I wonder when all the rank-and-file Republicans are going to figure it out and get sick of how they're being manipulated: all the Karl Roves, the evil Dexters, are gleefully grinning over the whole thing, and how much money they're making manipulating people, and how powerful it makes them feel that they can scam people to the point of even convincing them to willingly throwing their lives away to be nothing more than propaganda props. Tons of people support the war effort, but all the troops are dying for nothing except to make the Republican scam-machine look good. Meanwhile, Karl Rove is probably having gay sex in the White House on top of all of it (remember Jeff Gannon?). He (and Republican strategists like him) are probably pleased as punch they grew up to screw around with and order around the jocks (and even ake them like it!) for no cause greater than their own ambition and self-advancement. They really rule this country, and all those poor dumb suckers buy into it.
what virgotex said. there are no "lakes" in that area. that body of water is what is called a "tank" in TX...they really need to be sure that there are no cattle in it before the wedding ceremony. longhorns are vicious.
what would I know about weddings, I'll never be allowed tohave one?
some day, man. some day.
Jeff Skilling won't. He's still in jail.

The PPP relocates wealthy criminals to the luxury resort of their choice under a new name-- disguised by cosmetic surgery, if necessary. And if there's a look-alike in prison anywhere in the US, they'll extraordinarily render the unfortunate twin, lobotomized, to stand in for the liberated crook.

But now you can see things are changing in the minds of at least part of the population of this country.
The Republicans know that there chance is not good in November, and that people are seeing through the bullshit. The Republicans aren't even that good at deception they try to pull. When I think of the Republican media man and his puny, futile efforts, for his lost, worthless cause-- I laugh inwardly.

Would said Muslim get us out of Iraq, restore habeas corpus, tax the wealthy, and save the environment? If so, I'll not only vote for her/him, I'll contribute money and canvass.

As I've said many times, I don't care what religion a person professes (or if they don't profess any religion).
So long as they don't attempt to force it on non-believers, that's fine with me.
They make everything out of limestone aroud there. The whole area architecture is urine colored.
because limestone is what's here.
And while some of the architecture here, like everywhere, is poorly designed and/or ugly, limestone itself is gorgeous.

Actually there are a few Potemkin cattle, and most of the adjoining properties have 'em as well (was up there for not a few protests), so it's all bucolic and shit.

if he has an agricultural exemption on his property taxes then he has to have cattle or other livestock (not horses).
Just a few cows will do it. Interestingly enough a quick look at the tax rolls in McLennan county do not show him as the owner of any property there under his name. Maybe a corporation or some such.
