Just passing by, but What Digby Said. A taste:
But I don't think we are talking about policy at all. We are talking about psychology. And it isn't confined to the neocons, although they gave this psychology an intellectual veneer. The conservatives generally, evidently including members of the top military brass, seem to be driven by a primitive fear not of attack or physical violence, but of humiliation. This is what makes them tick and it's the essence of what's gone wrong since 9/11.
Hmm, I like this link on Media Matters better:

I guess having a cootchie isn't enough.

Two suspected Kurdish separatists have rammed an oil-filled lorry into a police station in eastern Turkey in a suicide attack, army sources have said.
After the explosion late on Saturday, the station in Tunceli province was attacked by other members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the army counter attacked, the sources said.
The two separatists in the lorry were killed but no other details were available on the death toll.
Hours earlier, thousands of Turks had protested against the PKK on the streets of Istanbul, after a call by the army for a public show of opposition to separatist violence.

Noonan: Hillary Clinton "has to prove she's a woman"
You first, Nooners.
The American Media continues to be a rightwing dominated desert with a few liberal oasis in between.
News should be accurate, unbiased and complete, instead we get the twisted lies of the Bushboy regime, gilded and filtered through Murdoch and the gang that can't shoot straight at FUX NEWS.

From an article about the war wounded:
"Joseph "Jay" Briseno, 24, of Manassas Park, Va., was shot in the back of the neck by an Iraqi in the early months of the war. One of the most severely wounded, he is now a quadriplegic, on a breathing machine, blind and unable to speak, but aware of what has happened to him."
Think about that existence for a minute. You can't see. You can't talk. You can't move anything below your neck, and you can't breathe on your own. How do you not lose your mind like that?

Oooh, jeez.
I forgot.
Greenwald has a post today on how every insurgent in Iraq has now magically turned into an al Qeada operative as far as the press is concerned...
That the Bush administration, and specifically its military commanders, decided to begin using the term "Al Qaeda" to designate "anyone and everyeone we fight against or kill in Iraq" is obvious. All of a sudden, every time one of the top military commanders describes our latest operations or quantifies how many we killed, the enemy is referred to, almost exclusively now, as "Al Qaeda."
But what is even more notable is that the establishment press has followed right along, just as enthusiastically. I don't think the New York Times has published a story about Iraq in the last two weeks without stating that we are killing "Al Qaeda fighters," capturing "Al Qaeda leaders," and every new operation is against "Al Qaeda."
The Times -- typically in the form of the gullible and always-government-trusting "reporting" of Michael Gordon, though not only -- makes this claim over and over, as prominently as possible, often without the slightest questioning, qualification, or doubt. If your only news about Iraq came from The New York Times, you would think that the war in Iraq is now indistinguishable from the initial stage of the war in Afghanistan -- that we are there fighting against the people who hijacked those planes and flew them into our buildings: "Al Qaeda."
What is so amazing about this new rhetorical development -- not only from our military, but also from our "journalists" -- is that, for years, it was too shameless and false even for the Bush administration to use. Even at the height of their propaganda offensives about the war, the furthest Bush officials were willing to go was to use the generic term "terrorists" for everyone we are fighting in Iraq, as in: "we cannot surrender to the terrorists by withdrawing" and "we must stay on the offensive against terrorists."

It would appear that a lot of people calling themselves Democrats listen to the rat wang rantings of Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage and the like. Why?
Good question.
Also apparent that corporate bucks aren't likely to support liberal talk radio.
One thing that always puzzled me was how the wingers managed to monopolize this medium. Unions once owned radio stations, but where sold to the propafuckinganda networks like Clear Channel. Wingers put there money up and bought a massive machine in talk radio, while liberals sat on their hollywood asses and let it happen.
Clinton also played into this monopoly by signing away the airwaves to corporate whores.

In an odd column a few months ago, Richard Cohen praised John McCain for having "a visceral hostility toward the ways of Washington's K Street lobbying crowd."
It looks the Arizona Republican has come around on the lobbyists he claims to disdain.
John McCain, who made his name attacking special interests, has more lobbyists working on his staff or as advisers than any of his competitors, Republican or Democrat.
A Huffington Post examination of the campaigns of the top three presidential candidates in each party shows that lobbyists are playing key roles in both Democratic and Republican bids -- although they are far more prevalent on the GOP side. But, all the campaigns pale in comparison to McCain's, whose rhetoric stands in sharp contrast to his conduct.
"Too often the special interest lobbyists with the fattest wallets and best access carry the day when issues of public policy are being decided," McCain asserts on his web site, declaring that he "has fought the 'revolving door' by which lawmakers and other influential officials leave their posts and become lobbyists for the special interests they have aided."
In actual practice, at least two of McCain's top advisers fit precisely the class of former elected officials he criticizes so sharply.
For the candidate who based his 2000 campaign on challenging lobbyists and "entrenched" special interests, McCain has put together quite a crew: two of Washington's most powerful, high-paid lobbyists -- Tom Loeffler and Slade Gorton -- are co-chairmen of the senator's presidential campaign. "All told," Tom Edsall reported, "there are 11 current or former lobbyists working for or advising McCain, at least double the number in any other campaign."

now lou dobbs is talking about "the cost of the so called amnesty program"
lou, you are the one who is calling it that.
NTodd, certainly a possibility. I'm just saying I can't speak to law very well. I'm not knowledgeable there
Allie, I think the law in CA makes sense--you're not responsible to your child, or for it, until it's born. Sounds cold, but I think it's a clear marker, and a realistic one.
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
I suppose. But the baby still suffered and died a horrible death, I imagine...
Make it an aggravating circumstance. Like a hate crime?
NTodd, Boring MEQUA
Perhaps. I haven't really given it thought.
It's like late-term abortion. It is so obviously only a last resort because I can't imagine that anyone who has carried a baby for nine months would choose that as a method of birth control, like the reich wing seems to imply. Outlawing it is stupid.
But a murderer killing a woman and a viable baby in the womb is difficult for me to categorize. The baby had all the ability to suffer and die as a born baby. But allowing punishment opens the door to forced-birth advocates.
Certainly it should be a major story locally. But with seven troops dead Iraq today, that should lead the news--cuz this will continue.
Well, this one isn't so much a fucKwit rightard troll as an insufferable narcissistic Loonie Tune.
Lovely lady. Still doesn't warrant all the fucking coverage.
NTodd, Boring MEQUA | Homepage | 06.23.07 - 6:12 pm | #
Thank you Mr. Media. Now go do a podcast about it, you friggin self-indulgant ass.
General Zod | 06.23.07 - 6:16 pm | #
Why should I do a podcast about it? And am I really more self-indulgent than you, who come here after announcing we're dead to you, as you weigh in on my podcasts?
What a fucktarded jerkburger you are, Zod. A psychotic, brainless, lonely misanthrope for whom there is no joy unless you're engaging in your faux superiority. Jesus weeps for you.
Allie, it is difficult to categorize, to be sure.
Is it terrible for me to say that I have no idea who those people are?
No more terrible than me saying I don't give a shit about this "story."
Certainly it should be a major story locally. But with seven troops dead Iraq today, that should lead the news--cuz this will continue.

Well, see - if they covered the seven troops who were killed in Bush's Ego War, that would hurt the war effort or some kind of right wing bullshit like that.
I'm suggesting a legal remedy for what Allie was observing.
NTodd
A "legal remedy" for coochie?
It's legal in Nevada already.

you could start with who made the choice.
In what part of the world is a grown man (excluding the Kennedys) called 'Bobby'?
I have had this supposition (a feeling without facts to support it) that all of these stories of this type (missing women, terrible, heinous crimes, and such) are really nothing that should even be reported and have a deleterious effect on our society because, in reality, they have no positive effect on our lives and have the negative effect of making us feel less positive about humans.
Before the carpet-bombing media mayhem monsters had their way, a story like this would either have been relegated to the back pages of the newspaper or ignored altogether. Now, it is front and center and to what effect?
In what part of the world is a grown man (excluding the Kennedys) called 'Bobby'?

Police: Pregnant woman's body found; cop arrested
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/23...n.ap/
index.html
CANTON, Ohio (AP) -- Searchers recovered a body Saturday afternoon that they believe is that of Jessie Marie Davis, a pregnant woman who disappeared June 13, police said.
Bobby Cutts Jr., the father of Davis' 2-year-old son, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder, including that of Davis' unborn child, said Stark County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Rick Perez. Cutts is also believed to be the father of Davis' unborn child.
Cutts is an officer with the Canton Police Department.
The Repository newspaper in Canton reported the body was found in a lake in Summit County, not far from Davis' home in Stark County's Lake Township.
Is it terrible for me to say that I have no idea who those people are?
No more terrible than me saying I don't give a shit about this "story."

Not at all. It is something that makes manifest what I have been thinking about in theory, is all.

Sorry, folks, but people get murdered all the time. It ain't national news.
It's not so much the murder as the missing white woman aspect.

Absolutely no one.
Dirk, no one, but she may well have gotten hurt herself, especially if she's ill and needs treatment.
Richard | Homepage | 06.23.07 - 6:23 pm
It's a sad story, but for CNN, MSNBC. etc. to be devoting hours to it?
Uh-uh.
One count of murder and one of manslaughter would make more sense, but it still treats an unborn baby as born. Maybe tying it to the "past the point of viability" rule for abortions, and making it a new crime? Oh, goody, another new crime...
True, but I am interested in the ideas surrounding it. But you don't have to be.
Yeah, but they want to make us be interested by broadcasting this stuff day and night.
It's a local story.
I'm so old I can remember when CNN actually covered REAL news.
That's when Turner ran the place.
Remember that multi-part series on the history of Russia? Which he insisted on not only running once, but repeating several times?
Good times, good times...
I don't think it's really a conspiracy to ignore the real stories. It's just another formulaic Bleeding Lede.
The middle-class pregnant white woman demographic is just what scored best in their "What type of victim of a grisly psycho murderer would you feel most interested in and sympathetic for?" consumer survey question.
It's not so much the murder as the missing white woman aspect.
R. McGeddon | 06.23.07 - 6:28 pm | #
missing pregnant white woman.
but i think the part of the story that sparked the interest was the two year old boy's description of what happened.
meanwhile, carnage on sci-fi.
i'd also be a lot more interested in the news and find it more useful if they would start chronicling the crimes and misdeeds of bush and cheney with the alacrity that they spend on missing white women.

No argument from me, my friend.
You're absolutely correct.
To be honest, everything I know about the murder case, I learned from you guys.
If I gave a rat's ass, I'd verify things.
Dirk, what's on?
I've been craving Scifi carnage.
I don't think it's really a conspiracy to ignore the real stories. It's just another formulaic Bleeding Lede.
I think you're right. But I can think of ANY rational reason for Rick Sanchez to ever be on my teevee.
But he seems to have captured the weekend anchor chair.
Feh.

dirk gently, sociopathetic
You're joking, right?
This woman cultivates a crop with the ability to cause planes to fall out of the sky, and you think there's no victim?
What's cool about this coverage is that they explicitly compare it to Fallujah without the slightest indication that they understand Fallujah was a ghastly defeat for the US military.
Our forces are embarked on a victorious effort much like that of the French army in Moscow or at DienBienPhu, stated General Ordieno, "Just like the Japanese Navy at the battle of the Coral Sea, we're movin' and groovin'" said the General. Much of General Petraeus' strategy is based on the assumption that Iraqi insurgents will shoot themselves rather than fight: "Just as the victorious KMT forces swept the communists to the sea", US officials said, "and Gordon's soldiers at Khartoum, we have the tools and the intent to win big".
Ooh, Pterodactyl!

Thank you!

Nope.
Not on now.
There's actually no mystery as to why there is coverage of missing white women.
The media's job is to support the government. The government can only maintain control when people are scared. So it's up to the media to foment fear. If it can't be fear of a Soviet launched nuclear holocaust anymore, and if they've cried wolf one time too many on terrorism, then it's got to be fear of drugs, or fear of immigrants, or fear of blacks, or fear of attacks on white women, which arouses the chest-beating white males who in their fantasies see themselves as the "protectors" of white women (never mind that they are most often the beaters and killers of white women).
That's the whole point of all their coverage: fear. And specifically, scaring the bejesus out of white people.
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
They'll be a big philosophical discussion on Nancy Grace, you can bet.
And lots of interesting "ideas" being discussed in this week's Inquirer.

Actually, it's a dessert topping AND a floor wax.
Unfortunately, as they move further into web-based news, the newspapers are more and more adopting 24-hour "breaking" news philosophy of cable TV. Just checked SFGate, which had as one of their top stories "3 year old hit by car". Very sad, yes. A major story? No. Why is it there? It "just" happened, so it's "breaking."

Look, watch what you like, but your idea that a local murder story has anything to do with abortion rights or the viability of fetuses is silly.
You're also implying that we're not serious. Get a grip.
i don't like the endless airings of regional murderfests either - but i don't think the story needs to be totally ignored either. 24 hours on a handful of channels, and people are interested.
priorities and depth of coverage in really important news is a different issue.
NTodd, no, but she might have to put you in one and spank you for misbehaving.
maybe you can. but you shouldn't.
I disagree.
i think 24 hr rolling news has killed off quality journalism
Richard,
I disagree that these stories have always dominated the news. The cases you cite were sensational and exploited but there was a reason for this: either the fame or the wealth or the nature of the crime or the promoting entity. These stories like this are simply promoted because they are easy to cover and require little intelligence to understand thereby keeping people from thinking and questioning.
No, I just reject your argument and the "reasoning" behind it.
'Nuff said!
daveŠ
My argument that a nine-month fetus can feel the same thing as a born baby, and that acknowledging that gives the force-birth advocates an inroad to attack abortion rights?
Thanks for the lesson.

you shoudn't take offense. the fact is the media actively uses the controversial nature of this unusual, but not unheard of crime to garner ratings.
there are 10 million stories in the naked city. each one more sordid than the other.
Look, watch what you like, but your idea that a local murder story has anything to do with abortion rights or the viability of fetuses is silly.
Nope; not silly at all. You acknowledge that this will get major coverage, even though we all think that's a waste and a distraction. In that context, the fundies can take this kind of case and build it into the Preborn American Rights story of their dreams.
Theological conservatives believe gay relationships violate Scripture, while more liberal Christians emphasize the Bibles social justice teachings.
I have no idea what the fuck that is supposed to mean.
Stunt Woman
Stunt Woman,
The fundy Christians spend their time either in the Old Testament or listening to Paul's theocratic bullshit. The more progressive churches actually read the words of Jesus Christ as recorded in the gospels.
My argument that a nine-month fetus can feel the same thing as a born baby, and that acknowledging that gives the force-birth advocates an inroad to attack abortion rights?
No one who supports abortion rights that I know of thinks that a 8 1/2 month term fetus doesn't have nerve endings.
That's just common sense.
with 24 hr news, between major events, there is mostly filler
crap basically
cause they have to report something, use the helicopter and so fort
your idea that a local murder story has anything to do with abortion rights or the viability of fetuses is silly.
I believe you're missing the point. It's not the locality of the story, but the double murder charge. That DOES have bearing on abortion rights and fetus viability, given the situation.
Why the bile? Because Allie's not She Who Shall Not Be Named?
I disagree.

That's pretty much my take as well, Virginia and Allie.
NTodd suggested that the killing of a pregnant woman and the resultant death of the fetus should be an aggravating factor. I think that's a sensible alternative to the "double murder" charge.
It'll give that bitch Nancy Grace something to DISTRACT her from the lawsuit against her.

NTodd, Boring MEQUA
Bingo!
priorities and depth of coverage in really important news is a different issue.
Not really. Constant, in-depth coverage of a "local" murder, to the exclusion of all else, shows exactly where the "priorities" of the MSM lie. The "priorities" then dictate the "depth of coverage".
And, of course, what happens to the "breaking" story after it's no longer fresh?
Yes, there's a place for stories on tragic regional murders. It's called local TV, and it should rate about three minutes, tops.
All-day, 24-hour coverage on CNN? No.
I believe you're missing the point. It's not the locality of the story, but the double murder charge. That DOES have bearing on abortion rights and fetus viability, given the situation.

i first realised it when I watched vintage coverage of the Falkans War by the Beeb

was straightforward, not filled with waffle like today

Allie | 06.23.07 - 6:42 pm | #
No, I don't fucking agree. I actually agree with that wanker Ntodd. Aggravating factor.
And I don't support late term abortion unless it's about the health of the mother.
I also don't support you deciding what I do and don't support.
I'm just concerned with what's on the news. I'm sick of missing white women. The fundies don't need it to be a national story.

I believe the issue came up then, but I don't remember how it was resolved.
you're right. the story of a pregnant woman murdered in front of her two year old son by the father is garbage. why should anyone care about her?
let's all just watch pteradactyl. it's much more informative.
Cats make good blog neighbors.

You're lecturing me on bile?
No, I'm not. I asked a question. Is that "lecturing"? Or maybe it's "bashing", eh?
I was merely ironically observing that you who get on my case for criticizing Tena seem to effortlessly tell Allie to fuck off when she expressed reasonable concern about a situation. Odd, that.
Good grief.
Just what I was thinking.
I AM SICK OF SEEING GARBAGE NEWS STORIES ON THE MAJOR NEWS OUTLETS.
Is that so hard to understand?
Not hard to understand at all. Yet Allie brought up a point about the double-murder charge and you leapt all over her for that observation. That has nothing to to with "garbage news".
So I wonder what has set you off on somebody asking questions. Is that so fucking hard to understand?
Did they do that with the Lacy Peterson case?
Sure. And Scott got the death penalty for a double murder.
Or not.

It's a stupid fucking question? And a bunch of people that should know better are buying into it?
Just a thought...
the news anchors back then had gravitas
it was to the point
Uh, yeah, they kinda do if they want to, you know, make it a national issue.
I disagree.
They have enough tame outlets to manufacture national outrage without CNN helping them out.
So I guess we don't need Media Matters then! Because, of course, the fundies only attack things in local media outlets and never, ever would try multipronged approaches.

Excuse me? It's a stupid fucking question to consider what the media and anti-choice folks might do when an unborn is considered "murdered"? Jesus.
Before the carpet-bombing media mayhem monsters had their way, a story like this would either have been relegated to the back pages of the newspaper or ignored altogether. Now, it is front and center and to what effect?
DWD
'cause all the news bureaus have been cut back to the level of non exsistance?

You're just being goofy now.
I meant, did the anti-choicers make a big stink about it?
Not that I remember.
It was a big circus, though. Like this.
And again, a story that completely did not merit the coverage it got.
I'm not full of bile. NTodd's Pa's Wife always said I'm so full of shit that my eyes are brown.
This is a stupid fight. Both the the fetus/baby question for murder charges in this case and the "should they or shouldn't they cover this type of story" questions are I think interesting and worthy of a good debate.
The Vast Rightwing Conspiracy wins if they can get us to shout "fuck off" at one another and question one another's motives over these kinds of marginal cases.
If we try to work our way through the issues this sort of stuff raises intelligently, then we all end up smarter for it, rather than looking like petulant babies.

Look, fucking talk about what you want.
And some of us will feel free to not want to talk about some issues.
You're being thin skinned and ridiculous.
i agree the story was way over-covered. but that does not mean it should not have been covered at all, nor that some people cannot relate to or be interested in the details. that's what i mean about it being a different issue.
personally, i generally hit the remote when a story is being beaten to death and there is no new information. but i do try and catch the thrust of the story and its outcome.
If we try to work our way through the issues this sort of stuff raises intelligently, then we all end up smarter for it, rather than looking like petulant babies.

It's a stupid fucking question to consider what the media and anti-choice folks might do when an unborn is considered "murdered"?
What they "might" do? Who gives a flying fuck?
In the meantime, it's another big media circus that can distract everyone, including people here who should know better, from any number of "real" news stories.
The wingnuts are gonna send out their fundraising letters no matter what CNN does.
I'm not full of bile. NTodd's Pa's Wife always said I'm so full of shit that my eyes are brown.
Well, true dat.
you're right. the story of a pregnant woman murdered in front of her two year old son by the father is garbage. why should anyone care about her?
No one is saying it shouldn't be covered, but 24/7?
You're just being goofy now.
Oddly enough, I'm not for once. Making this a national story is exactly part of how you try to push the debate. That's why Media Matters IS important for political shit--because it looks at framing. So we've got an attractive white woman whose fetus was "murdered" along with her. More of the agitprop to support the notion that a fetus is a full person.
If only anti-war activities could get such coverage...
If we try to work our way through the issues this sort of stuff raises intelligently, then we all end up smarter for it, rather than looking like petulant babies.

I agree. And I promise not to chime in and denegrate anyone discussing old bands or sports.
"This is a stupid fight."
As are many of the fights that happen here. We sit some out we get drawn in but they happen. Steam is blown off, as it were, and in general people leave the mess in the thread that contained it.
These folks is gonna screech till they're done. I'd advise ignoring it if it bothers ya.

personally, i generally hit the remote when a story is being beaten to death and there is no new information.
It's why I generally avoid the medium altogether. They get on these tears about shit that is just not a major national issue and they won't shut up about it. Sensationalism, anything shocking and dramatic to fill airtime. I can't handle it.

I disagree that these stories have always dominated the news. The cases you cite were sensational and exploited but there was a reason for this: either the fame or the wealth or the nature of the crime or the promoting entity.
How are those 70+ year old stories any different than the current Paris Hilton story which people also use as an example of a media conspiracy to deliberately distract us?
There is no doubt that the media sucks GOP dick (the every Iraqi insurgent is al Qaeda propaganda that's being pushed now is a good example), but I don't happen to believe this particular conspiracy theory.
Salicious stories are easy to cover as you said and like gossip, get a lot of people's attention. This is media as lazy infotainment more than anything else.

ˇ Mitt Romney: "Guantanamo is a symbol of our resolve." Our resolve to what? Violate human rights? Sneer at the rule of law?
Bush will shut Gautanamo and simply MOVE it to Afghanistan where the press wont highlight the issue of habeas corpus, the courts cant do anything and lawyers cant assist the prisoners, so really Bush is using rendition right in full public view.
AND the last time I heard about Afghan prisons, its that there were young teenage Afghanistan males literally staving to death in the Afghanistan prison and horrible overcrowding, a place were suicide wont be mentioned over the all the other horrors of Afghanistan prisons.
Bush just wants to get Gitmo off the front pages of the newspapers and out of the courts system.

But whatever makes you feel good about telling Allie to fuck off for asking a goddamned question. There wasn't even a fucking disagreement at that point: she made a note about something that concerned her. That's it.
Good on ya. Watch out for the soot on the pot bottoms. It can make your hands awful dirty'n'stuff.

The self-promoting "Quaker". The nice guy. In actuality, one of the most narcisstic people who soil the internet. This forum is perfect for you, because you get to be the big fish in the little pond.
I am a Quaker, so I don't know why you put that in scare quotes. What's more, I'm puzzled as to why it's wrong to promote oneself. If I have something I'd like to share, am I supposed to be a wallflower and hope people notice it? Why am I not allowed to promote my stuff when everybody else does?
And the reason I'm here is because I like most of the folks here, whom I have met in person and have gotten to know over 4+ years. Not to mention the high traffic which makes it a nice marketing channel.
Anywhere else, you would just be another poster on a site, and that wouldn't do for you, would it? Your ego couldn't take it.
You don't think I comment anywhere else? Or that I wouldn't be noticed as a self-promoting Quaker? What makes this site so special in your eyes? It must be special, given that you keep coming back even though you keep saying you won't--and you continue to single me out for some reason. It's touching, I guess, in a sick way.

Now, I watch Olbermann occassionally (unfortunately, on the West Coast, he's on before I get home or at the same time my wife might be watching some network show) and Stewart (if I can stay up). Local news in the early morning for the traffic...
to which he replied, "well, an inch doesn't make any difference, does it?"
the last inch is always the best.

Ah, yes, the other troll gambit: I wasn't talking to you. As though other members of the community cannot engage in a public forum.

Because you are a hypocrite. More so than most people.
You love to tell people you are a Quaker. No-one cares. You blogwhore, you podcast, you suck ass to get put on a blogroll. Hoo-rah for you. At the same time, you tell people to start a blog if they want to get their point across, and then you mock the very people who do it.
So that is why you come across as an intolerant jackass. Sorry if that bothers you.
And I'll post here when I feel like it. If you don't like it, e-mail your Daddy and have me banned.
You don't think I comment anywhere else?
NTodd is everyfuck'nwhere. and i don't agree with everything he says, but mostly i do.
plus, he's really fuck'n smart. i could say that about a lot of the folks around here. but he's also just a regular guy, that list would be more limited.

Two of my friends did a calendar titled "Vacuuming Your Way to Sex." Each month had a chore around the house that men could do (without being asked) that would be a slam dunk for a good lay in the hay that night.

i think both
Because you are a hypocrite. More so than most people. - How am I a hypocrite, exactly?
You love to tell people you are a Quaker. No-one cares. - Oh, you took a poll? And I tell people that because a) people ask things that make it natural to note, b) it's certainly germane to my non-violence efforts, and c) we are a place where people share lots of personal things. Why is my saying I'm a Quaker so annoying to you?
You blogwhore, you podcast, you suck ass to get put on a blogroll. - Yup. And that's wrong how?
At the same time, you tell people to start a blog if they want to get their point across, and then you mock the very people who do it. - No, I tell people who criticize Atrios for not blogging about Issue X to get a blog. And I mock people such as She Who Shall Not Be Named because I think she went off the deep end. I know all of that is nuanced, and I can help you understand it better if you would like me to use shorter words.
So that is why you come across as an intolerant jackass. Sorry if that bothers you. - Given that my entire schtick is based on being an intolerant jackass, I don't see why it should bother me. But apparently it bothers you, which interests me to no end.
And I'll post here when I feel like it. - Never said you couldn't. I merely observe that you keep saying you won't, yet you do. Odd, that.
If you don't like it, e-mail your Daddy and have me banned. - My Daddy lives 45 minutes away and doesn't blog. I don't need to e-mail him, nor does he have any power here. Perhaps you didn't realize that.
Maybe Atrios will get bored with Zod? One can only hope.

Do we have to have a husband? I was thinking we could just go pick up random guys at bars or museums or the frozen food section of the grocery store...
Lynne Russell, as popular evening anchor of CNN Headline News, was the first woman to become the regular, solo anchor of a daily evening prime time newscast on a television network. During her decade and a half with CNN, she has developed a cult following of men and women who admire her authoritative, objective delivery and her non-conformist on-air personality and demeanor. She loves telling them about their world, and it shows.
Yet Lynne's world is more than meets the eye. For years she has successfully balanced her journalism career and motherhood with her other "occupations": deputy sheriff in Fulton County (Atlanta) Georgia as a jail officer, and licensed private investigator. She holds two black belts in the martial art Choi Kwang Do, and is a certified open water SCUBA diver.
All of this prompted her to write her inspirational first book, How to Win Friends, Kick Ass and Influence People (Dec. 1999, St. Martin's Press). She explores the liberating concepts of each of us appreciating and utilizing our own abilities and talents, peaceful coexistence with the opposite gender, and the celebration of "la difference!" Actor/comedian Richard Belzer says, "If Xena, warrior princess could tell her story, this would be her book." The New York Times review quipped she's "a news anchor with the personality of a professional wrestler."
Before CNN, Lynne Russell reported and anchored at television and radio stations from Florida to Hawaii. She was the first recipient of the Russell P. Jandoli "Excellence in Journalism Award" presented by St. Bonaventure University. She majored in nursing at the University of Colorado.
She has taken a break from the daily news business to write her second book and launch her new company, Benevento Lampshades.

if you want an example of batshit insane stalking, do read Rachel from North London
the poor woman (who survived 7/7 and a vicious rape) was hounded, libeled and stalked by this woman called Felicity Jane Lowde
this insane woman told her she was a 'tragedy pimping whore' and that she made up her story about the rape she suffered.
all the while Felicity Jane Lowed claimed Rachel North was the one stalking her and lying.
this woman was thankfully arrested, after Rachel North kept her online at an internet cafe (the batshit insane lady had absconded from charges brought by the police)
That would be very helpful. Do you have any suggestions?

Because I think she went off the deep end. I don't believe I have the power to decree anything. Why do you insist on ascribing such amazing powers to me?
Regardless, I've made my case a number of times about where I stand re: Tena's blog and her insistence that this is a cult, A-listers hate their commenters, etc. I'd whore some of my posts/comments about that, but that would be self-promoting and wrong, eh?

My family were Quakers until they got kicked out for fighting in the Civil War. For the Union, of course.
They coulda started their own Meeting! There have been a number of Quakers who have gone to war because they felt there was an overriding need to. Some Meetings might have been more tolerant of that than others, though certainly around the Civil War most I suspect would have frowned on members fighting, even though they were abolitionists.

Union leaders met government negotiators after receiving a letter from Umaru Yar'Adua, the Nigerian president, pledging not to raise petrol prices at the pump for one year.

I keep meaning to memorize that whole speech -- it cracks me wide open every time.
Speaking of paranoiac nutjobs:
It's mainly that I'm identified as the kind of person who is supposed to toe the liberal line. I got that message for years before I started blogging. I have seen how liberals and lefties use shunning and disapproval to try to make it too much trouble to criticize them, and since I started blogging, I just don't respond to that anymore. So they kick up a storm in the usual way, and since I don't respond they crank it up more and more. At this point, I think they are afraid of my clout, since I'm a high-profile blogger, often cited and asked to write in mainstream media. They would like to ruin me, and when they think I've said the thing that could be used to ruin me, they pull out all the stops.
Guess who?

Lebanese troops have clashed with armed men in the northern city of Tripoli, near the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp.
The fighting began after troops raided a house belonging to a suspected member of the Fatah al-Islam group shortly before midnight on Saturday, security sources said.

NTodd appears to have been skewing the statistics. CNN is reporting that "seventeen percent of men and 10 percent of women reported having two or more sexual partners in the past year" and "twenty-six percent of men and 17 percent of women have tried cocaine or other street drugs (not including marijuana) at some time in their life."

Of course y'all know that Jimmy bought that song from a certain Jake Holmes who released two fucking incredible LPs on Tower Records back in the day. His version of Dazed and Confused appears on his first LP.
I can't recommend the first two records highly enough. Solid all the way through, if you're into a relatively low key somewhat downer psych vibe -- which I am ALL THE TIME.
Sadly, Jake Holmes subsequent records (for Reprise) suck ass terribly. This is why it's important for artists to avoid bullshit producers who whisper in their ears about what the "public" want.
Holmes must still be around today. I have no idea what he's up to but I bet he wishes he hadn't sold his song to Jimmy Page (perhaps the greatest musician-businessman in the history of the biz).
