Happy birthday, steve simels!

Flashback 1988: George Bush On The National Guard And Viet Nam
Bush: “I flew fighters in the Texas Air National Guard for which I’m very proud.” [Snip]
“They should have probably called up the National Guard in those days. Maybe we would have done better in Vietnam.”

Happy birthday, Steve Simels!
Thanks. I'm 60 today. A real leftover from the radical 60s.
Seriously. My youngest niece just had her first baby. How about that?

HA! HA!

dodd is in the owner's box at fenway drinking a beer.

Bappy Hirthday!
sheng rir kwai luh steve!
hbty hbty hbd steve and toucari hbdy
and many more
thus demonstrating the classic counterintuitive notion that in a group of 30 or so, it's more likely than not that two will share the same birthday...
Hah. I never liked Yes, my friend a huge ELP fan. He loved Asia, I knew they were shit from the get-go.
Thanks. I'm 60 today. A real leftover from the radical 60s.
Toucari, fka cosmic tumbler
Wow, I think you and Simels are really twin sons of different mothers. I think he said he's sixty too
Quick comment: I met Steve in Washington in September and loved him immediately. Happy Birthday Steve, hope you check in.
Asia? Man, that's cold...
Fine. Leave me all along, bitches!
Well, its interesting that the unknown anthrax terrorist targeted Democrats and was never caught.
rootless-e
Not just Democrats, but also the teebee news media. ABC News, NBC News, and CBS News among others.
Another interesting fact is that Dead-Eye and the Cod Piece let a contract to Mitchell Wade's company, MZM, to screen their mail for anthrax. MZM had zero experience at this sort of thing. The cost? Precisely the amount of money necessary to buy Duke Cunningham's payoff yacht, $145,000.
The only reason one would let a contract for what appears to be a critical service to a git like Wade is because you don't ever expect to need the service. I.e., the White House KNEW who had done the anthrax killing and KNEW they had nothing to fear.
Oh look, Asia's going on a reunion tour.
Dodd roting for the Sox? I wish he wouldn't use up his karma on the game -- I also wish Senators Clinton & Obama would join Biden in supporting his filibuster against the majority leader! (which I REALLY wish wasn't necessary!)
WTF is the point of electing a Rockefeller if they are not too rich to be bought?
Happy birthday all!
“They should have probably called up the National Guard in those days. Maybe we would have done better in Vietnam.”
Had they done so, we might not now have the Shite House run by criminals.
And really, I liked Evan Almighty just fine!

Happy Birthday, Steve, a classic in every sense of the word
New Frank Rich is up at the Times. Good piece from what I could make myself read. I lost heart after about two thirds of the way through. It deals with corruption in Iraq and the Prince Group's involvement and such.
Too disheartening for me at this moment.
God, I HATE what they have done to my country.
Steve Simels: now older than dirt!
Thanks. I'm 60 today. A real leftover from the radical 60s.
Toucari, fka cosmic tumbler
You look mah-valous!
That's quite a milestone! Good on you!

Resting that ankle, I hope.

Happy 1112th B-Day, Steve!

60 is the new 40.
Er -- "rooting"
Yes was pretentious
Asia didn't even get to pretentious
ELP as pretentious, but _sometimes_ had just cause (IMHO -- of course, I liked Willa Ford, so there's that ...)
Put another candle on the birthday cake!
toucari,
Happy Birthday to you as well. I hope this day has been special and that every day from now on is as well.
And really, I liked Evan Almighty just fine!

An excellent question. Perhaps instead of bribes, they took the other Soprano route and intimidated him? After all, they routinely spy on all their political opponents. It is the NSA, after all (New Spying Agency).

Steve and Toucari and Slutty Jewish Girl and Tobes have never been photographed together. By five lesbian koalas.
I had no idea about the connection to Asia and ELP, Yes, etc
Thanks Shaw and DWD.
I'm off to get my birthday present.
This is not looking like a good night for the Indians
I am going to go to bed -- it can't hurt the Indians & it night help me get to church in the morning!

It is the NSA, after all (New Spying Agency).
The New Spies are TIA, which keeps accidentally disappearing laptops and is genuinely new; NSA = No Such Agency.
It's unimaginable that the US government would be involved in the anthrax plot. Why next you will come up with ridiculous fantasies about sending cakes and missiles to Iranian mullahs or giving stingers to Bin Ladin or breaking into psychiatrists office to spy on dissidents or locking people up in secret prisons or something.
Heat of the Moment.
I knew Asia had an even cheesier song!
(That I know all the words too)
Perhaps I WILL have a beer.

Perhaps I WILL have a beer.
In heaven, there is no beer.
That is why we drink it here.

Funny you should mention poms; the Blogdiva just posted about'em.
.
Pomegranate liquor must be more expensive than fermented incubus sperm. A glass of that "Pom" tea is three bucks, and the other day we came across a bulb (literally a philtre, not something worthy of the name "bottle") of pure pomegranate juice smaller than an actual pomegranate for twenty bucks.
Link some more Spoon for Simels... he's only heard one of their songs.

Steve Simels and Toucari
Happy Birthday to you. All the best.
Peace.
My only question is how did Rush Limbaugh and Peter Pace's pet charity become the greatest way ever to honor "the troops." The first half of their name refers to the Marines. That's the "MC" part. The "LEF" part is the federal Law Enforcement part of the equation. Which is half of the equation. "Law Enforcement" workers are not "the troops." They might more precisely be considered to be "the cops."
So for every dollar donated to "the troops," "the cops" get 50¢. Are there really no other charities on earth dedicated to helping the children of fallen soldiers and cops? And why are there no prominent Democrats or Liberals on the board of directors, or among the officers?
Moreover, since these are scholarship funds, what happens in 12-18 years when the kids decide to, say, not go to college? The MC-LEF boasts they have "no overhead" because they don't retain staff. So who decides which claims are real, and who's going to be around as these kids hit college age?
I like the lime with the pomegranate. But then again, I ain't right.
Coke to Wombat...
...remember how Bush said he would carry George Howard's police shield and that dead guy's mom was in the audience?
...remember how years later, Bush's pockets were fucking empty?

The greatest way to honor the troops is to give them full benefits, and to end the goddamned war and bring them home.

Delmar: The Preacher says all my sins is washed away. Including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo.
Pete: I thought you said you were innocent of those charges.

Oh for Nader's sake, what the movie actually said was that it technically began under Clinton as an extra-ordinary emergency measure, not that "it's Clinton's fault," and that its present form is very much a result of IX/XI. This is as Ebert said a perfect movie.
Brad Dourif is one of my favorite actors.

From the Greenwald comments section< Garry Owen
Regarding Rush's ebay letter scam
A 501 3c tax exempt non-profit (Casey Foundation) plunks down roughly 72 percent of all the assets of their organization to buy a piece of paper from Rush Limbaugh who just happens to be a director on the board of the 501 3c tax exempt non-profit that will get the money (Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation.)
The reason given by the Casey Foundation for this astounding and organization-ruining financial give-away?:
“to support Rush Limbaugh, his views and his continuing education of us.”
Now I've known some executive directors of 501 3c's in my six decades on this planet, and I can't think of one of them who would take 72 percent of their capital assets and transfer it to another 501 3c, leaving them to take care of all operating expenses, fund raising, staff salaries, facilities management and other capital outflow on the remaining 28 percent of the monies that has been contributed to their charitable organization.
They in essence just bilked their donor base for a piece of paper. I can't imagine that if Casey Foundation has a board of directors that they would let their chairperson give away almost 75 percent of their capital in one fell swoop!
[Snip}
1. Rush Limbaugh is a director on the board of the organization that will get the money.
2. The total revenues of the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation before this gift was $5.2 million.

It is okay this day. I took less pain medication than usual and managed a nice walk in the beautiful fall woods with my love and the dogs: a good day.
I have decided to turn my anger over everything into work again. I will begin reworking one of the four major novels I have completed on Monday. It is time that I worked on something substantial, and I need a place to aim my fucking arrows anyway.
In about sixw months or so (and if my other blog friend from here wants to help) the new book should be done. Sorry in advance if I bug everyone: I am the worst salesman in the world.

[she] urges sisters to live their Monastic Profession through its three dimensions of stability, obedience, and conversatio morum in their present day commitments. “Do what these values demand, in this culture, on this planet, at this time, in this civilization, in the here and now.”
After I saw her on Bill Moyers I wanted to see MORE of her going up against these people who call themselves Christians who encourage war and kill day after day.
I'm sorry that I didn't see more of her mixing it up with the Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwell (DRIP)

Hey Hecate I read you post about nuns
For awhile I corresponded with
"the brilliant Joan Chittister",
Joan Chittister was on a MTP panel on "faith" with Plumpkin Russert, Jon Meacham, and an obnoxious priest whose name escapes me, he's the head of the Newman Foundation, IIRC and a frequent talking head.
In the roundtable, Obnoxious Priest ended his statement with a call for civility, a willingness to listen to one another, et brodera cetera. He then spent the next five minutes interrupting and talking over Joan Chittister. The moderator did not see fit to rein in his boorishness.

We quoted from memory from having seen the film, which is the reason we wrote a review for it and are endorsing it here.
Now, imagine for a moment a powerful, relevant, brave, brilliantly written, perfectly directed, masterfully acted flick comes out and the only thing somebody wants to say about it is that it describes an act of President Ford as one of President Nixon, and this is after all INACCURATE!!!!!!!!! Is it irresponsible to speculate that this person is a German national who attempts to sting vendors at farmer's markets for altering their prices? Christ on a cactus, it would be irresponsible not to speculate!
The intuition is that 30 people are unlikely to cover all 365 days. The key is to consider, rather, the number of pairs possible amongst 30 people, which is more than 365, thus making it obvious.

What is frustrating is that when you find a good spokesperson who might be able to push back on the nonsense of the Christian right they don't get invited on to say, "Are you serious? Right to their face" because they aren't pushing themselves to play that game.
I think it was in Kos' book or Lakofts book the talked about the left infrastructure (especially the religious) doesn't want to spend money in that way, it brag about how much money goes to directly serve the poor, not to how many appearances they can get on the cable shows. And if they DO get too noticed then they have to respond FOR the WHOLE church.

Rumsfeld’s revenge.
A story in tomorrow’s Washington Post reports that early in 2004, then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld became angry that the Pentagon was losing control over reconstruction efforts in Iraq. In return, he refused to provide military security for diplomats, forcing the State Department to rush to Blackwater:
(...)A new executive order, signed in January 2004, gave State authority over all but military operations. Rumsfeld’s revenge, at least in the view of many State officials, was to withdraw all but minimal assistance for diplomatic security.(...)

No, sadly I have written four major novels (Greater than 100,000 words and basically literary) CHALLENGE, CAPITAL, SANCTUARY, and DIAMOND'S LIGHT. Two adult science fiction novels ( THE CREATURE and THE JOURNAL) Three novels for young adults (THE HAUNTING, THE BUTTON BOX, and THE NIGHT OF THE CREATURES) One computer textbook, one book of philosophy, One book of fairy tales rewritten for young people. A bunch of short stories and poetry. And Silent Screams with Mitch. So far only one of the big books has been published and one of the small novels for young people. I have a significant backlog.

angryspittle | 10.21.07 - 12:35 am |
WTC 7 is actually pretty easily explained: it was subject to massive, almost decisive stresses and it really is overkill to insist that it had to require explosives. Giuliani put his love nest command post private spa on top of it, which of course required massive fuel tanks, and also some dumbasses knocked out a few floors to build a new stock exchange. Also the WTC was never built under any kind of code: it was granted special exemption because of its experimental nature.

Okay, you're in the denial stage of grief.

Some of us are in the bartering stage of grief: that if we could just be good enough, people will like us.
And every attempt to shock-and-awe the enemy only antagonizes and confuses them further: whether it's us or them.
Reasonable people will agree that the Clenis had to publicly testify under oath about a consensual affair but that a private, off the record conversation about Bush's dereliction of duty should quell all rumors about said dereliction. Take that, conspiracy wackos!
So you are telling me I can't trust any goddamned bulding in NYC not to fall down on me?

angryspittle | 10.21.07 - 12:42 am | #
It wasn't built shitty. However, it is perfectly reasonable for it to have fallen as a direct result of the twin towers collapsing. Two 110 story buildings that were right next to it crashed down and caused permanent damage to the building and its foundation. If you were personally familiar with the site, you'd understand that.
Enough of this. Please.
I don't wanna comment - BUT
there was at least one investigation into why WTC7 fell. If you start with the assumption that it couldn't have fallen accepting the results of an investigation saying how it did becomes difficult.

How did buildings much older than anything in the WTC withstand the destruction? Like that church?
Let's start with the giant cavity underneath the WTC site, for the subway and the parking and the storage and whatever else. The older buildings nearby weren't on such shaky ground. And then, as someone pointed out, the top of WTC7 was filled with diesel fuel. Churches don't generally have that.

They were farther away from the site, and some of them were made of stone, not glass. The towers pretty much collapsed straight down, with large chunks of debris landing on certain buildings near the site (the World Financial Center's Winter Garden was almost completely destroyed; the Deutschebank building is in the process of being demolished since it cannot be repaired; the southwest corner of the Borough of Manhattan Community College building is still wrapped in netting). But fortunately, the collateral damage to many buildings in the area was minimal, due to the way the towers came down, which is actually a testament to the engineering that went into their construction. If they had tipped over, the entire area would have been destroyed, and thousands of more people would have died.

Economists are historically unmusical.
Milton "Hitler" Friedman's favorite musician was the creator of the "Chicken dance." JK Galbraith's was Lawrence Welk. JM Keynes deep into twelve tone modernism and Thorstein Veblen was devoted to Wagner. Marx of course listened to random burps from other radicals in Soho pubs. (this is not actually true.)
Meanwhile, in total birthday serendipity --
I just got notified by the Universal Music Group that I can download for free--
The Southside Johnny album they did right after Columbia (which I really love)

Excellent!
Regarding the 9/11 debate:
There's only one important question concerning the attacks, did the US gov't allow/participate in 9/11?
The answer to that query would explain the illegal wire-taps, suspension of habeas corpus, banning of books like "America Deceived" from Amazon, detaining of dissenters in fences miles away from events, and multiple wars based on lies.
How can the gov't be innocent in 9/11 when we have caught it lying so many times (WACO, Ruby Ridge, no WMDs, USS Liberty, Operation Northwoods, Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, ETC.)?
In law, if you determine a person lies ONCE during his testimony, it can be assumed that he lied in the remainder of his testimony. How come we do not hold the gov't to the same standard as it holds us to?
The gov't lied to us about Iraq and more Americans have died there than in 9/11. If the gov't lied about Iraq then why is everyone so reluctant to believe that the gov't lied about 9/11?
