I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Watertiger "FIRST" dynasty must end here!
I thought they were only after a million. Guess they overshot the mark.
Turd
Fuck you.
I condemn Atrios, and demand everybody give me money.
I want a piece of that action, Atrios.
But seriously, are we really going to try to raise money for a Times ad promoting the General Strike?
Me first!!!
I think we should raise money for a Pennysaver ad to promote the general strike.
Thank you, Senator Cornyn!
You big dope.
I think we should raise money for the new Tastee Freeze headquarters.
Kenosha Kid should be banned.
But seriously, are we really going to try to raise money for a Times ad promoting the General Strike?
Caption it with something outrageous and you can get the advertising for free.
What a happy note to leave on.
Wow, that's amazing.
Kenosha Kid should be banned.
NTodd the Newt
"The Kenosha Kid" would be a GREAT name for a band!
Run a contest on your blog for ad ideas and makes sure one of the ads compares Bush to Hitler or Stalin or Satan and you can get it run on the news for free.
1.5 million?
Cool.
That is fucking AWESOME.
I hope everyone who did that communicated it to a congresscritter.
That's a lot of sammitches.
Still, I wasn't always like this. For a long time I thought things were getting better--uglier, yes, but more just and equal. I thought that little by little people were becoming less cruel, less stupid, less ignorant, less unfair. And they are, too--think of how much less racist white people are, how far women have come. And what about gay marriage? Ten years ago nobody'd heard of it and now half the country has already moved on to gay divorce. And yet, you don't hear people looking forward to the future in the rapturous way they did back when they believed in some big triumphant idea like science or reason or socialism or art, or even a small, cozy hope like everyone having a place to live and nobody having to eat cat food. People might be excited about their own personal future... But when they think about the future in general, they're scared.

I am now condemned.
I'm so giddy i just tossed 'em anudder fiddy.
Welp, having wasted, er, dedicated this entire day to hanging around here smoking crack, I've just taken a break to help my god-daughter order her new laptop online. She really wanted a Mac, but I talked her into gettin' a Dell.
NOT! Psych! She got a MacBook.
And now I'm going to do something delicious to a lovely chunk of wild salmon.
Talk atcha later, moonbats! Thanks for the guffaws!
Condemnation is not all it's cracked up to be.
That makes me very happy.
Or at least gives temporary lift to my depression.
Seems Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) thinks she should behave like a triangulating democrat. It's not going over well with her constituency. The more she tries to not rock the boat the more waves of disgust she creates.
Atrios' gf fired.
I can make room for her.

Good. She certainly has pissed me off.

This sounds like so much BS.
As much as we wish Amanda the very best in her future endeavors, her failure to move from online celebrity to mainstream media company successfully does bring into question the ability of online stars to go mainstream.
Completely OT, but I have a story to relate. I thought I was going to be unemployed by the time this weekend rolled around. My boss is either bi-polar or borderline, and you can't tell him anything - he goes off at the drop of a hat and when he's later proven wrong (as he usually is) his response has been to add insult to injury by issuing a lecture about how my "attitude" is bad, rather than just apologizing.
Fortunately I have known him for 20 years and can get away with saying a lot of things that would have gotten others fired a long time ago.
So one of these donnybrooks fired up last week, it was over really nothing at all, and rather than apologize for overreacting and suggesting that "maybe you'd rather find another place to work", he went to the fallback of calling back and telling me we needed to have a "chat" (read: lecture about how my "attitude" is organically bad and couldn't possibly have anything to do with not being ok with someone disrespecting me). I replied that I'd be glad to have a "discussion" with him but if it was going to be like the ones in the past that were really lectures that merely add insult to injury, I didn't think it would be worthwhile, and that obviously, if the idea that I should work somewhere else was springing so easily to mind, it was obviously something he has been thinking about, and all he has to do is say the word - forget this flimsy fantasy about whether *I* want to continue working there, the question is, does *he* want me to continue working there, and if so, he needs to act like it. And he starts up again on the "attitude" bullshit, and I say, "look, I may be a bitch sometimes, but I ain't YOUR bitch, and I'm not going to be." And he hangs up on me.
Later, back in the office, he's dropped the idea of having the "chat". And he doesn't bring it up the next day and is in fact treading lightly. And I've become a hero to the work crews, several of whom noted somewhat wistfully that the "may be a bitch but I ain't YOUR bitch" line was a great one but it wouldn't work for them.
So, still employed at least for the time being.
...does bring into question the ability of online stars to go mainstream.

Well, we've seen the success the "mainstream" has had going online. Right Jokeline?
Columbia Univerity allowing this bum Ahmeninejad to speak there next week is just an outrage. They won't allow ROTC on campus but they allow this Iranian bum. Mitch McConnel should introduce a sense of the Senate condemning this long time left wing bastion. Mort Kondracke on Fox just gave 2 thumbs down to Harry Reid. Reid is a total loser, the Democrats deserve him.
A million and a half, eh?
I hope folks are emailing that post to each of the dim bulbs who signed onto that 'censure.'

Alternately, it brings into question the ability of the mainstream bullshit fucktard media companies to embrace the different, online, future of media and its stars.

Good for you. One year in grad school, a friend and I were stuck with a godawful professor for two successive semesters. She hated us, we hated her, and the Replacements "Attitude" was our theme song.

Thanks, pie. Grudging respect is the only respect anyone gets from this guy. You know I make him sound awful, but he's really not all that bad if you know how to deal with him - which is to draw a line in the sand. If you don't, he'll totally wear you down and toss you away. It's just who he is. I think it has a lot to do with being a short man.
In olden days a harried Roman,
Harassed by sanctimonious foemen,

Such fun to have these useful idiots.
I called Petraeus a political hack on this blog several times, I believe.

Over at Digby someone was arguing that this was all just a money making plan for Moveon.
If so, pretty good ROI.
and everyone knows that the 1.5 million came directly from George Soros.
Seriously, I was just over at Red State, and that's what they're saying.
And they said the press that moveon is getting out of this is comparable to the press that Japan got after Pearl Harbor.
There are some sick fucks out there.
nobody tell slamclik that the Young Republicans will be in attendance up at Columbia.
It might make his tiny brain pop.
Jim, I try really hard to not be the professor that kids hate. I think I'm more in danger of being a complete marshmallow; it's just not in me to be a total hardass.

Toonscribe has a valid point that Kate Hepburn involved herself, repeatedly, in movie projects that fell flat.

As I said earlier, they are in the GOP's OODA loop. It wouldn't surprise me if this was a ploy: put the bad guys on their heels, get them to react, make money, rinse, repeat.
The whole point is to provoke response. They did well.

That's the second time I've read something like that here today.

No, not necessarily that they knew the Senate would vote to condemn, but that there would be an unreasonable outcry they could capitalize on. If so, bravo. If not, still bravo.

Only because I'd run out of money trying to keep Tom Cruise's hair the way he needs it to be.

Usually, this involved large amount of alcohol or some other substance - illegal or otherwise.

Now why do you say that? He seems like a very nice man. Besides he reads books and knows where Thomas Pynchon lives!
res - oh, I'm not tall. 5'4".
I think my preference for men around that height mostly has to do with how much nicer it is to dance when your face isn't smashed into a chest. Not to mention sex.
But a lot of them have issues related to it.
Yep. One of my brothers is 5'4", and he always had the smartest mouth around. But he's a great guy, intelligent, happily married and a great father.
It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. Gotta have the confidence and grit to succeed.

Well, I'll venture out on a limb here and suggest that maybe those of us who want a like-sized partner are expressing a preference for equality, while women opting for taller or bigger men may find that it satisfies some desire for security...bigger men who favor small women may find it satisfies some protective instinct...or it could just be for no real reason at all.
Well I've had plenty of tall men who wanted to kick my ass.
Maybe they had issues because they were tall.
Or maybe they were just assholes.

I'd say that was probably the case.
If you're an especially large man, you have to learn to be especially good-tempered, because the slightest hint of ire on your part provokes a visceral threat response in all the little people. In my case, this is exacerbated by my naturally severe brow line. I have had to learn to affect a studied mildness of manner and perpetual smile in order to avoid instant dislike from all short people.
I'm 6'5" and mrs. lip is 5'0". I never dated a girl who was even average height. I don't know why

Yes. His exact height was 2 meters and nine centimeters. I'm fairly sure that he had what Abraham Lincoln may have had because of the way his bones looked.
I'm 5ft 6in. That is short in Finland but not short here. It's been interesting to adjust to being treated differently.

Echidne
A civil war? Oh...Marfan's.
If there are any gaps in the trim, cracks or whatever, nailholes, gaps where the trims joins, wait a few hours till the paint is dry then caulk the cracks, use a lightly damp sponge to wipe off the excess then wait 24 and finish painting. It makes a HUGE difference.

Marfan's syndrome. -- genetic mutation in the fibrillin gene. It runs in my family, but fortunately I don't have it. My cousin who does is 6'7" tall.

The estimates are always too short when you do something the first time. The first window I put new ropes in took me a whole day off. Now I can do a window in about thirty minutes, including the chiseling and razor blading to get it to move in the first place.
bigger men who favor small women may find it satisfies some protective instinct
Not at all, in my case. I prefer taller women. They are just harder to find. I like to think 5'9" is the cut off. But the little ones are so darned cute too.
Gomez, Mlle doesn't want in on the fiddy cent part. Maddy wants in on the Pack, though.

Sounds like my best friend in grad school. He was 6'10" and had that Abe Lincoln look to him. He also had one of the greatest senses of humor I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy and could do a great John Huston impersonation, complete with cigar. He became a lawyer.
I'm 5'6". That is short in Finland but not short here
Most of the Fins I know in the Upper Peninsula are around 5' or, substantially less.

Tee hee
I just gave some turkee to MoveOn, and afterward my bank account amount was all 6's. Their evil powers get into everything.
so I think CoT is right. sweeping generalizations don't serve anyone's point.
watertiger
You are both correct. But there are individuals who fit the stereotypes. That's how they start, after all.
There was a story about some mayor in San Diego who is for gay marriage NOW since his daughter a lesbian wants to marry. He wasn't before.
It's like, "It's only important when it's happening to me."
So "I don't care if they tap my phones, I have nothing to hide."
I wonder how many Right wing nuts will need to be arrested for talking about loading up on fertilizer until the figure out that the patriot act is bad for them. I think they are probably waiting for a Democrat to be in office so that they can say, "Black Helicopters! They want a one world Government! They want our guns! It's the government doing it."
I suppose habeas corpus would mean something to them then. "What happened to my America? I have my right" they will howl.
"Actually, no you don't have rights once we classified you as an enemy combatant. Don't forget, you WANTED it this way. To protect you."
"But I never thought that *I* would be accused falsely!"
But don't you say the government is incompentent and can't do anything right? There are going to be SOME mistakes, so too bad you threw away the ability get redress from these errors.
You wanted this program, it's a small price to pay, right?
I'm 5'9". All my good friends throughout my life have been around 6' to 6'3". I've never felt threatened by tall peeps. However, peeps that are built like brick shithouses and drink a lot give me the creeps. I'd just stay away from the hammer-throwers and shotputters at the college track partys.
As for a woman's height...I don't care. It's all about poise and how they carry them themselves.
so I think CoT is right. sweeping generalizations don't serve anyone's point.
You are right, of course.
But raw experince tends to blur the line.
echidine,

I'm a shade under 5'8" and never felt short or tall.
I sympathize on the painting. My homegirls are coming out from Atlanta next weekend, and since the beginning of the month, I've done all this: painted another coat on the walls in 3 hallways, painted a coat on two cabinets in one bathroom and two coats on two BIG cabinets in another bathroom, re-painted the frame of the medicine cabinet in one, cleaned out old grout in the guest bath and re-caulked the tub and surround, washed all the linens and drapes in the house, swiffered the ceilings and walls, scrubbed down front back and side porches and furnishings, had a bunch of stuff I've been needing to have hauled off taken away out of the yard and garage, straightened up the garage, tidyed up the yard...about all that's left is dusting, floors, and baseboards.
Even though the floors are still filthy, this place is so clean it scares me.
GOOD! Most people don't.
What do you mean you put ropes in a window, echidine?
My house has the original windows from 1931. They are those up-and-down thingies, with hidden ropes and weights in the side channels. When I bought the house almost all the panes were cracked and almost all the ropes were rotted through. As I have a very large number of windows I've learned to repair them on my own.
I never describe people by their height unless they are very tall. I think it is because otherwise I don't notice.
OT: I was thinking of renting the start of the Dexter series from Showtime.... anybody got a strong opinion one way or the other? I think I've heard it's good, but I can't remember from whom.
I'm 5'9" and have dated women ranging between 5' and 5'10". It all depends on the woman. Mrs Toons is 5'2".
I sent moveon a thou and have copied their thank you email onto many pieces of paper, the obverses of which will contain letters to be faxed to Dem orgs and reps -- not certain yet of how to choose recipients.
Come sit by me, Echidne.

Hee! You're trying to make me feel small.
All this home improvement talk and perfect partner height stuff. Hmmm...
I'm going to Home Depot to find a tall lesbian.
sometimes it's nice to see eye to eye with your partner.
Having generally had shortner partners, I can attest to the notion that it doesn't take a whole lot of contortion to see eye-to-eye...
OK I'll chime in.

I can't believe that I'm watching this right now.
In retrospect, freeper from last Saturday was several inches taller than me. So some tall guys can be hyperaggressive too.
But he had some inadequacy issue.

Can I ride along? And may I suggest Lowe's instead?

Are you for hire, Jennifer?
I'm 5-1.5, Monsieur is 5-8.5
Mlle is 5-3.

Watch out for the ones wearing aprons.

yeah, really.
Echidne - oh, HELL no.
I haven't showed this much domestic initiative in YEARS.
I'm a tall lesbian.
I'm a gay guy in a woman's snakeskin.
Can I ride along? And may I suggest Lowe's instead?
Well, Lowe's does start with an 'L'

racymind - not saying it wouldn't happen, but Home Depot is a pretty uptight operation, when it comes to overt sexuality.
OK I'll chime in.

My current lady friend is 5'3". Or so she says.
Rush LImbaugh get philosophical:
I remember reading Pascal, the Pensees. Blaise Pascal, French philosopher. By the way, did you see the story about how many French do not brush their teeth? I don't know if this is true of Pascal or not, but one million French citizens never brush their teeth. Half of all French do not brush their teeth in the evening. Fifty-seven of French children under five have never brushed their teeth. It is amazing French kissing was ever invented.
I wonder if Bush will claim to be reading Pascal next.

"Cleanup: aisle 7".
Is a Lowe's lesbian another category, like "golfer" or "lipstick"?
Echidne, that cracks my shit up--Mlle is always saying she's a gay man trapped in a woman's body
Sheets.
I lost virginity to a lesbian in a Lowes bathroom stall.
Tap.
Tap.

dunno, just know Home Depot are fascists.
By the way, did you see the story about how many French do not brush their teeth?
It's the secret commie weapon. Dirty teeth and they will suddenly bite you smack in the middle of the French kiss.
Well, you know how "those" people are.
I know another way to make lots of money, but you got to disguise your self as a towel head and blow up some buildings. Oh, and you gotta be in gov't.
I'll venture out on a limb here and suggest that maybe those of us who want a like-sized partner are expressing a preference for equality, while women opting for taller or bigger men may find that it satisfies some desire for security...bigger men who favor small women
Ahem.
Love is, in fact, quite blind.
Yea sure, what would you do with your million bucks Atrios. I can see it now. Breezing down the road in your Ferrari, with the large breasted blond . All thoughts of us, the little people, the furthest thing from your mind.
Absolutely not, Keeping Atrios poor should be our goal.
5'7", and I'm the tallest woman in my family.
Come sit by me, Echidne.

Shorties!
5'10 or 5'11", depending on the time of day.... Absolutely standard for my people.

GENERAL BETRAYUS! There, I SAID IT!
Oh and F. W!
Thank GODS our erected leaders (HAHAHA! NOW THAT'S FUNNY! HAHAHA!) haven't got anything BETTER to condemn...
Like the Swiftboatliars.
Like lies that led us into an illegal war/occupation.
Like tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires and tax increases for the poor and (what's left of) the middle class.
Like the ruination of the environment.
Like raising the debt ceiling AGAIN.
Like the stolen election of 2000.
Like the stolen election of 2004.
Like...and on and on!
But he had some inadequacy issue.
Any inadequacy issues are directly attributable to the guy's environment, not some genetic predisposition.
Nurture, not Nature, in this instance.

That's pretty funny. On Friday I made my first contribution to moveon.org. Although I support the organization generally, it was Cornyn and the sham amendment that convinced me to donate. The pubs did what they always do - hijack the message and twist it to serve their own pathetic political purposes.
Much as I find their daily emails annoying, I sent them $50 just to fuck with the Lieberdems.
