He sounds so....rational

That said, I've been following this stuff for a couple decades, and the amount of change I've seen in the last few years is pretty amazing. People are catching on and making an effort on a scale I've never seen.

they would bravely raise the issue of ike's patriotism, and explain why it was good for republicans.
And of course, nobody listen to Washington when he warned against parties...
Imagine if a Democrat gave that speech today?
Don't forget Eisenhower's Secretary of State was John Foster Dulles.
Eisenhower was president for eight years. He had rather a part in all of it. He was right, but as he was leaving. He didn't fight when he had to, on this and on other things. He did, though, use federal troops to enforce desegregation.
There's an element of that, obviously. I think in some ways that it's even sicker than that, though...I think that on a certain level people want it to happen, either as a punishment or simply as a spectacle.
Come on, man. We're going to be raptured!

GWPDA, I'll have to look up the copper craftsman. I don't know If I'd want a copper sink, though if he's working copper, he might also be willing to make other items, such as an exhaust hood. Right now I've been thinking of patio space, and one thing I'd like is an outdoor but covered and screened patio kitchen. I'd still want the stove top to have an exhaust system. Stir fry can be stinky and eye burning if you are frying a chili-garlic herb flavoring for the rest of the dish.

Major Smedley Butler, USMC, 1933:
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

Re: Ike (the first president I remember -- HST was gone before I was aware of things like presidents) waited until he was on his out before telling it like it was -- but ditto for integration -- he did it when he felt he had to do (which is not to say that a modern Republican would have found a way to avoid following the law) -- he also hated Senator McCarthy (unlike the Kennedys) but kept his mouth shut -- he was a canny general as a politician just as he had been a canny politician as a general.

So - I can listen to Ike and hear what he has to say and not cringe. The same reaction over the years I've had to John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton. Not that I've necessarily agreed, but I could listen to them. I could hear them. I felt no visceral hatred, antagonism, loathing.

Just watched Moyers' interview with Wright. He played the comments in context. Wright comes across as incredibly thoughtful and a real Christian, who was preaching as Christ would have done. And, of course, he never did throw Obama under the bus: simply pointed out that they have different roles as pastor and politician.
Watching Moyers made me simultaneously grateful that his show exists and deeply discouraged about the futility of improving the rest of the MSM.

He was ordained and went to Trinity when it had 87 members. he built it up to thousands.
His "goddamn" remarks came at the end of a long segment (which Moyers showed complete) in which he said that governments are fallible, and make mistakes. He named Britain, Germany, Japan, S. Africa, the US and detailed some of them. He said God does not bless everything a nation does, so not "God Bless America" but "God Damn America....WHEN IT DOES WRONG".
His comments after 9/11 about America's chickens coming home to roost were prompted because a white American ambassador made that point on Fox that week and sent them into apoplexy. he listed the instances when America had done violence with klittle regard for innocents as a way of warning us against vengeance.

U.S. Weighing Readiness for Military Action Against Iran
The nation's top military officer said yesterday that the Pentagon is planning for "potential military courses of action" as one of several options against Iran, criticizing what he called the Tehran government's "increasingly lethal and malign influence" in Iraq.
"It would be a mistake to think that we are out of combat capability," he said at a Pentagon news conference. Speaking of Iran's intentions, Mullen said: "They prefer to see a weak Iraq neighbor. . . . They have expressed long-term goals to be the regional power."
Mullen made clear that he prefers a diplomatic solution and does not expect imminent action. "I have no expectations that we're going to get into a conflict with Iran in the immediate future," he said.

Something like a 2% increase for each mile getting closer to the mercury source. I may have that number wrong.
The researchers speculated that some people might have a genetic problem with heavy metals and that the combination of the two might be at play.

"He spent 6 years as a marine and navy medical corpsman. he met Moyers in the 60's at Bethesda naval hospital when LBJ had heart surgery and Wright attended. They show a pic of Moyers and Wright standing by LBJ's bedside."
it would have been nice had they showed his commendation signed by lbj.

I check food labels at the grocery store to make sure I don't buy anything made in China. Some Korean friends of mine told me this year that they have never bought any food from China - they knew there was a problem there.
The researchers speculated that some people might have a genetic problem with heavy metals and that the combination of the two might be at play.

"I'm going outside the primary window," [Michigan Sen. Carl Levin] told me definitively.
"If I allow you to do that, the whole system collapses," I said. "We will have chaos. I let you make your case to the DNC, and we voted unanimously and you lost."
He kept insisting that they were going to move up Michigan on their own, even though if they did that, they would lose half their delegates. By that point Carl and I were leaning toward each other over a table in the middle of the room, shouting and dropping the occasional expletive.
"You won't deny us seats at the convention," he said.
"Carl, take it to the bank," I said. "They will not get a credential. The closest they'll get to Boston will be watching it on television. I will not let you break this entire nominating process for one state. The rules are the rules. If you want to call my bluff, Carl, you go ahead and do it."
We glared at each other some more, but there was nothing much left to say. I was holding all the cards and Levin knew it.

Wright presents an accurate critique of US foreign and domestic policy. Unfortunately, we live in the most jingoistic and xenophobic countries on the planet, with a huge assist by a media system that refuses to include voices of dissent like Wright's. No wonder his ideas sound foreign to most Americans.

I haven't heard any of Wrights speeches in their entirely (including the extended excerpts tonight).
But back in the early and mid-eighties, the DC Pacifica station, WPFW, which is mostly jazz, used to play entire speeches and sermons by various civil rights leaders and ministers.

He'd throw out the first pitch every season, and he'd be called a troll on every blog, and he wouldn't have his own blog.

it isn't that, for me.
our church was devoid of much of anything of interest. certainly not excitement. certainly not challenge. certainly not about bettering the community.

that's why the Rev. Wright thing doesn't scare me, because even the most fucked up wingnut fundie will reach a certain limit on how much minister-bashing they will tolerate, and the blowback from the younger, more independent, less braindead evangelicals will be both terrible and fierce.

And he was so funny on that show.
“The new U.S. Embassy complex does not have enough fortified living quarters for hundreds of diplomats and other workers, who must remain temporarily in trailers without special rooftop protection against mortars and rockets,” government officials told the AP today. The lack of housing may “further delay moving all personnel” into the embassy, already mired in construction delays, until next year. The issue has become increasingly relevant since Shi’ite militias “resumed steady attacks on the enclave in late March as part of backlash to an Iraqi-led crackdown.”
Why aren't the U.S. embassies the garden parties that were promised?

Last week I saw several ads on DFH blogs begging for peeps to join the diplomatic corps(e).
The draft and what somebody in the Pentagon said in my comments...
if i was ever inclined to start another band, 'Tyrant King Porn Dragon' would be top 3 for names right now ...
BTW: Creepiest. Coke. Ever.
Great minds, bro. Great minds.
One of the most baffling things about the last seven years is how little sleep GWB has lost.
Something missing in him. Either it was never there or it died and shriveled away a long time ago.
I often want a consciencectomy. It must be so light to live like that.
Sinfonian: YOU're living it.
Nope, if young Repukes were forced to be grunts there would be peace.
OK, so more importantly, I never found a stash of pr0n mags on the road, but my friend Eddie and I did find a book: "Annie in the Doghouse." I guess we were in 7th grade. Funny as shit. [Goes giggling to Amazon to see if it's still in print.]
well corporations are fine with adequate regulation.
i mean, as a system of social organiztion, they somewhat work i guess.
"What would happen if the started drafting people again?"
Harvard and Yale wouldn't get drafted.
Or,the political class would invent something similar to the bounty system of the American Civil War, whereby you could buy a replacement if you were drafted. I think that Teddy Roosevelt's father did just that, a stigma which may have inspired old four-eyes TR to be such a jingoistic militarist.

Ah, that explains my urge to grow a mullet and eat donuts.
Also, to fuck Tia Carrere.
Okay, that last one may be independently generated ...

Textbook sociopath. He can fake empathy, but there's none present.

He's heavily medicated. That's why he travels with a presidential portapotty. So no one can diagnose his ... deposits and figure out what meds he's on.

Yes, they work just fine in many contexts. But not as the nexus of almost all political power.
Forgive me. That was vulgar.
I should have said, "fornicate with Tia Carrere."
It's late and I'm tired. Mea culpa.
There was something profound I was going to say way back at the beginning of this thread, but by the time I've scrolled all the way down here, I've forgotten it.
Damn, getting older sux. More Bushmill's, please.
Christ, I am so cool. It's really impressive.
Are you from the future?
You saw where Condi had to threaten the diplomats again because nobody was signing up to go to Iraq?
Yeah, saw that. Where have all the true believers gone? Remember how the children of the architects of the war machine were so eager to go to Iraq and set up civil institutions that banned abortion, taxation of corporations and domestic ownership of local resources?
i thing the corruption comes from concentration of wealth more than corporations, per se. corporations just happen to be the concentration of wealth in this time.
Late here. Good night and good luck

If Iraq becomes Republitard heaven, maybe they will all immigrate?
I can haz?
What gives you joy? A friend asked me that question the other day, worried that I'm always in a work mode.
I wonder how many well paying speaking engagements Bush will get when he is out of office?
I am betting chump change and no more.
Night, all.
In keeping with my new plan I am not commenting on the individuals but only on the race. To these ends there are two items in addition to the major fundraiser leaving the Clinton Camp that have ramifications on the "Race." If you have availed yourselves of these, you might want to. The first is this article that delves more deeply into the white/black voting pattern in Pennsylvania. The conclusion is a little different and kind of enlightening. (It seems that white women like Hillary. Go figure.)

The second one was this story out of Washington: Mr. Clyburn added that there appeared to be an almost “unanimous” view among African-Americans that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton were “committed to doing everything they possibly can to damage Obama to a point that he could never win.”

Just got back from viewing Werner Herzog's Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes, starring Klaus Kinski as a demoniac conquistador descending into megalomania and decay on a fraying raft on the Amazon. Completely amazing movie and
another movie thatr could not be improved on by anyone.
My Best Fiend is an appropriate appertife. Kinski, he crazy mon.

ProfWombat,
You are indeed correct. It may be time to drag the old vinyl out of the cupboard.
Yep ... just a matter of time till we're fighting in Iran, too.
Fuckers.
Goodnight bats. I'm going to shut down the computer before the thunderstorms come through the outlet and fry my arse.
Peace out.
(It seems that white women like Hillary. Go figure.)
I'm sorry that you can't see why that might be the case if it is.
What gives you joy?
Certain people, books, music, movies, work. And nothing beats a good long walk.

I don't suppose you ever read my riff on your riff on Edoroso.
Something missing in him. Either it was never there or it died and shriveled away a long time ago.
I imagine it was bred out of the line several generations back.
Watched 'Our Son Jack' about Rudyard Kipling's son dying in WWI. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter actor) did a good job.
It showed the utter waste of lives by the generals who were still fighting in the 18th century style.
Kinda like our generals now...

Oh well. It was a lame ripost.

Herzog's Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo make a great double-feature.
I'm opposed to vicotry and all other inherited titles of nobility.

Oh, I think we could have fun with titles around here ...
ellroon: as bad as it is now, and it's bad, it's nothing, nothing whatever like the slaughter of the first world war.
It's too easy, with a volunteer army, 'only' 4000 or so American dead, and rigid control of information, to pretend there isn't a war on.

It does give me joy, yes. Hugs.

I know. The slaughter of men was beyond horrific.
Now we are just supposed to watch American Idol and go shopping. The volunteer army stupidly volunteered so they have to go and die.

I read it earlier when you first posted it. My comment was about taking the empathy you so well demonstrate and trying to imagine how a secretary or a shop assistant might feel about Clinton, given her own life experiences as a woman. The fact that while women are the majority of Americans there has never been a female president. The fact that selling Hillary Nutcrackers is such a funny joke. That these women may have themselves been made invisible, belittled, treated as something genetically inferior.
It's the "go figure" part I was responding to. That's how I'd try to figure it.

Beloved Dimocrat LBJ instigated and presided over some 30,000 US combat deaths in Vietnam, over 7X our casualties in Iraq.
Beloved NPR national treasure and left-wing fraud Moyers was LBJ's main media guy.

"Democrat vicotry" by any name smells pretty much the same, as the poet said.
