Boxer, in a bizarre move, introduced her own amendment condemning MoveOn and also John Boehner and some other winger hack who said something outrageous. I guess she wanted to get those tit-for-tat condemnations out there, but it was kind of a foot shot.

It does seem kinda bleak on the macro level, but on a personal level things are looking up for me. I finished a script Thursday so I woke up Friday unemployed. By lunchtime, I had a new script assignment and they were drawing up the contract. By dinnertime, I had a second script assignment. It looks now that the Toons Family should be able to make it to the end of the year -- and after the first of the year, the toonbiz usually picks up again. I have survived the slow part of the season.
New York Times:
Can These Mortgages Be Saved?

Every night I dream of being in the mob that comes upon these evil men in their last hour, when they stand in their silk nightshirt, holding aloft a candle and sputtering with the last of their umbrage "What is the meaning of this?"
That I cannot be dissuaded with tales of heavenly reward should put some more fear into them. I've little heart to be highminded or magnanimous in victory these days. It is a dark humor to feel some protection in the notion that they will not dispose of me ahead of time for fear that they might then be forced to labor on their own behalf.

Like the narrator of the Elton John song “Rocket Man,” frequent commenters can spend a little time every day inhabiting the identity of their wished-for selves — Mr. Hsiao becomes DaShiv, or Georgia Logothetis, a second-year lawyer in Chicago, metamorphoses into the respected liberal commenter georgia10 on Daily Kos. Online they indulge the sweet fantasy that “I’m not the man they think I am at home.”
“You are one of the millions of people who sit at a computer all day,” said Marshall Poe, a professor of history and new media at the University of Iowa, who has studied Internet communities. “Every hour you have 10 minutes where you’re not doing anything productive at work, and you can’t look at porn. So you make a comment and fulfill this desire to show yourself off as a smarty-pants.”

Pure comedy:
Commenting has become such a widely played sport that new tools are being deployed to separate the “trolls” — unwelcome commenters — from the favorites. Eater plans to offer readers the option of custom-filtering comments to exclude certain writers. Little Green Footballs started a rating system that lets users vote a comment up or down on a page, “to help the better ones be noticed,” the site creator, Charles Johnson, wrote in an e-mail message.

Timesonline:
Neocon 'godfather' Norman Podhoretz tells Bush: bomb Iran
ONE of the founding fathers of neoconservatism has privately urged President George W Bush to bomb Iran rather than allow it to acquire nuclear weapons.
Norman Podhoretz, an intellectual guru of the neoconservative movement who has joined Rudolph Giuliani’s 2008 presidential campaign as a senior foreign policy adviser, held an unpublicised meeting with Bush late last spring at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York.
The encounter reveals the enduring influence of the neoconservatives at the highest reaches of the White House, despite some high-profile casualties in the past year.
Karl Rove, who was still serving in the White House as Bush’s deputy chief of staff, took notes. But the meeting, which lasted 45 minutes, was not logged on the president’s schedule.
“I urged Bush to take action against the Iranian nuclear facilities and explained why I thought there was no alternative,” said Podhoretz, 77, in an interview with The Sunday Times.
“I laid out the worst-case scenario – bombing Iran – versus the worst-case consequences of allowing the Iranians to get the bomb.”
He also told Bush: “You have the awesome responsibility to prevent another holocaust. You’re the only one with the guts to do it.” The president looked very solemn, Podhoretz said.
For the most part Bush simply listened, although he and Rove both laughed when Podhoretz mentioned giving “futility its chance”, a phrase used by his fellow neoconservative, Robert Kagan, about the usefulness of pursuing United Nations sanctions against Iran.

We are in perilous times … The stunning admission by Democratic frontrunners Clinton, Obama and Edwards that they might keep US troops in Iraq beyond 2013 is tantamount to announcement of a permanent occupation that could cost us $5 trillion and bankrupt any opportunity to address healthcare reform, education, jobs or any other domestic policy initiatives.[...]
[...]We are so close! I need your help to raise the final 150,000 dollars for this campaign quarter before the critical FEC filing deadline at midnight on SUNDAY, SEPT. 30th.
Only 24 hours remain to get this done. Now is the time to share with your friends, neighbors and co-workers our message and ask for their help, too.
I know you want this war to end. I know you don't want war with Iran. Help me be the voice of reason for our country. The clock is ticking on our future. The time is NOW for a leader to emerge who represents the interests of the People … I am that leader and I will lead this nation so that your future and all our futures will not run out of time.

"Pakistani police have used batons and tear gas on lawyers protesting against Pervez Musharraf's candidacy in next week's presidential poll as elections officials approved of his nomination.[...]
Police fired tear gas shells and beat the protesters, with at least one officer using a tree branch.[...]
"The brutality of General Musharraf is being seen worldwide. Only the blind governments of the United States and Britain cannot see it," Ahsan said.
Likely victory
Tayyab Siddiquie, a political analyst, told Al Jazeera that Musharraf could be confident of victory in the forthcoming poll.
"The president is on strong ground as he has eight years of achievements to talk about."
On Friday, Pakistan's supreme court dismissed opposition challenges to Musharraf's right to contest the controversial election while he remains head of the military.
Musharraf filed his nomination papers for the elections on Thursday and is likely to win, given that the election involves the national and provincial parliaments, in which his allies hold a majority."

Submitted by BuzzFlash on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 8:54pm. Interviews
A BUZZFLASH INTERVIEW
Someone who is deeply linked to the Christian right, and to the current Administration, has turned around and started what has become the world's most powerful private mercenary army. These guys are like neo-Crusaders. To have them on the government payroll to the tune of $750 million, operating in a Muslim country, should be frightening to everyone who understands that."

what Karin said, re mlle's incarcerated exhubby. trust me, sallyh- this type will always have an excuse to blame and abuse the women in their lives for their own failings. let him rot.
You could have to watch NTodd all day instead of your nephew.
Sallyh
here's another thing i've learned. my sex drive is totally turned off when i know i'm responsible for caring for my little angel. just as i know that i'd happily kill to protect him, i also know that sexual silliness is a distraction i cannot afford, when nephew is awake and potentially about to burn the house down or eat poison.
...no wonder str8 people are so frustrated. you must never have sex, those of you with kids.
"my former son in law belongs in a psychiatric/rehab institute, not in prison"
and there's no doubt that at any point in his miserable life up til now he had numerous opportunities to seek help and he never did.
you feel worse about it then he does, i'm sure.

Just came back from very nice dinner out. Mr. TJ had pork loin served over mushroom and gruyere bread pudding. I had pecan crusted chicken and butter beans. Yumm-my. First dinner out in a good while.
Now I'm stuffed, a little tipsy, and I think I'm coming down with a cold.
How is everyone? Hugs to sallyh and mlle and maddy, hope you guys are hanging in there.
Hi ErinPDX!!!
Well, Hell, I was going to say: Evening, all. Can someone find a way to cheer me up?

God, I WISH I had some stock option to cash in that were worth $138 let alone $138,000,000 but here in Michigan the teachers are WAY overpaid and have far TOO MANY benefits so the Republicans want to cut us down to poverty level apparently.

Also not very happy because the mother of one of my best friends just had a hip replacement surgery-I've commented on her whole sorry saga with Kaiser Permanente here before-and she came through it OK, but then the fucking nurse in the recovery room gave her the wrong drug (heparin) and she's having severe internal bleeding, and conjestive heart failure. I am dreading hearing the phone ring, because it doesn't look very good.

I think it's more difficult when they're teenagers, because shutting the door isn't enough. Especially in a small house with thin walls.

"Jamie Smith is the vice president and director of Operations at Blackwater Training Center in Moyock, North Carolina. He has a law degree from Regent University and an LLM from Boston University. He has completed post graduate law studies at Harvard Law School. Formerly with the Central Intelligence Agency and then the U.S. Department of State, Smith was decorated for his service during the Persian Gulf War by CIA Director Webster. He teaches courses in executive protection, surveillance, officer survival, personal protection and is a PPCT certified defensive tactics instructor at Blackwater."
I don't want military men advising our police. It's wrong the way they are being used to subdue and spy on US citizens.
I agree. I want Mlle to be safe, but I think the situation is unbearably sad. He's already fucked up and I'm sure he feels like he's losing the only things that matter to him, his wife and kid.
But I wonder if he's ever going to be really capable of knowing that HE is the reason he's losing his wife and kid. And until he makes that leap, no psych/rehab regimen is going to do him a bit of good.
Which means he stays locked up in a prison or a hospital for good.
Generally, people on both sides of a very bad situation ultimately feel better about it if there is forgiveness all around. Not saying that's possible in every case, but giving up hope on that is a pretty sad thing.

chicago dyke
True confession, CD. Truth. When we finally had kids after thirteen years of marriage that about killed any sense of a spontaneous sex life. Then the planned sex life sort of went bye bye too as Mrs DWD LOVED being a mommy. She never spent a day away from the kids until they were teenagers.
So, the tale is told that when we finally have the time, we really have little interest (at least me with the pain the medical stuff) Well, I had a really fantastic fantasy sex life anyway. Someday I will show you some of the stuff I wrote

JR, I am ready. Truly. I like the idea of having another Constitutional Convention. We really and truly could revamp our Constitution a bit: Keep the good stuff but get rid of some of the stupid stuff. (Like the power of small states over large states. The constant drain of federal money from states like Michigan and redistributing it to warmer climates where the government workers like it better I guess, and so on.) There are are a lot of things that could be improved. Personally, I would like to be able to recall the president. . . .

Wholesome tween idols are in dangerously short supply, according to Jackie McKone. So the Arnold mom was perfectly glad to rise at 5 a.m. yesterday to snag tickets to a Disney Channel "Hannah Montana" concert for her daughter Molly -- and then spend five hours at the mall waiting to see the 11-year-old's newest pop-culture heroine, Jenna Bush.
"We wanted to meet a real role model," said Molly's friend Samantha Newman, 10.

I know. The police have been getting surplus military goods for years now. They really don't need armored cars cars and all that crap.
The worst part is, it wasn't until my friend had repeatedly asked, and asked again of the drs., as to why her mother was suddenly having all this bleeding, when she seemed fine post-op, that they finally looked at the chart and saw that the wrong drug was given. If they had realized right away, they could have given her something to counteract it before so much damage was done.

Letter to the Editor:
"Re “Hired Gun Fetish,” by Paul Krugman (column, Sept. 2:
I am writing to express my grave concern with the use of private security contractors in Iraq. This Bush administration move to privatize the military is a grievous and immoral mistake. It has serious implications for the future of both foreign and domestic policy.
If the United States is pursuing legitimate national security goals in a foreign country, in actions in which people risk death and are being authorized to kill for the sake of our nation, our military must take responsibility for and be in complete charge of all the forces involved. The president must be the commander in chief, not the contractor in chief.
And Congress must step up to openly authorize payment and include the expenses in the budget, not defer the financial burden to the next generation through weak-willed acquiescence to an executive out of control.
Congress is abdicating its constitutional and moral authority in this matter. If the employees of organizations like Blackwater USA want to serve their country, let them sign on with the armed forces. John Varner"

Hi everybody.
I notice Jenna being described as a "teacher". When has she ever taught?
As best I can tell, she taught in a DC charter school in the 2005-06 school year. She didn't start teaching until after the election, then by November 2006 was hanging out in Paraguay or Agrentina or something with her boy toy. No school has that much time off, so she must have left by then.
After that, who knows. It seems she's been busy writing her book and getting engaged to some guy named Henry.

Before leaving Washington, D.C. in Summer 2006, Bush taught at Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School for a year and a half.[10] She is currently teaching at a shelter several days a week as part of an internship for UNICEF's Educational Policy Department in Latin America, specifically in Panama.[11][12]

So Where Was Rudy 9/11during the Tavis Smiley debate he was too busy to attend?
"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side"
Robert Byrd, 1945 letter to Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo.
So via TBogg, Lileks is pushing the usual "'Star Trek' is really a conservative program!" bullshit the brownshirt sci-fi nerds try to fool themselves with occasionally... but the funniest part of all, aside from his complete and total misreading of "A Taste of Armageddon" and his complete and total silence on "Errand of Mercy" comes when he flubs the name of the most revered "Star Trek" episode of all.
It's called "City on the Edge of Forever," Jimmy-boy - NOT "Yesterday is Tomorrow."
These fucks can't even nerd up right...
However, as late as 1946 or 1947, when Robert Byrd was 29 years old, he was still at least somewhat involved in promoting the KKK, as evidenced by a letter that he wrote to a Grand Wizard stating "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in the nation."

"Armed forces? Fuck that."

Got the house clean, and finished my ghetto grade patio speakers.
Auto speakers from one of the Suzukis, which had upgraded ones installed, 5 lb coffee cans, speckle paint, and clear coat on the outside, brackets to bolt them to the porch roof beams, and filled with of all things feathers (hey this is ghetto grade engineering). I used them because of their high fractal coefficient. I also tried pink fiber glass insulation, but this is better.
They sound pretty nice, and play loud enough to be concerned at the hour you use them in spite of the large lots the houses here are on, 1 acre min, and some are 5 or more.

The Lebron monologue was followed by an attack on Michael Vick.
Petyon Manning, for all that he's an asshole and a cheater and a Republican, was pretty funny, at least in that one skit where he was the asshole boys' club coach.

From all... listenings, in the ways that impact survival, I will safely say Yes. Being that she is a female-type woman, as you probably know, what goes on in their heads? God's own private mystery.

You know, if I actually had a blog and were a blogger and did that sort of thing I would probably write a post that would ask a simple question like this.
When is the last time that a "mainstream" church has led either a demonstration or prayer vigil for peace?
Now as much as I love the Society of Friends and the Unitarians and such I am really talking about the Lutherans or the Baptists or the Episcopalians or the Prebsbyterians or the Catholics or even my former church, the RCA (Reformed Church in America)Hell, I would be satisfied if our brothers and sisters the CRC -Christian Reformed Church- would do this. But they won't.
Why not? Does it not say in the Bible that every Christian must, by virtue of their beliefs, be a person of peace? We are fighting an illegal war and killing people wantonly: where is the outrage of the followers of Christ?
Or could it be that they are simply pretenders to the faith and use their faith as a bludgeon the attack those who are different than they are? Do they believe they should oppose war or be like Hitler when he asked Pope Pius XII to bless the armies of the Third Reich? (And he did it!)
DWD... do you remember the book "Lord of the Flies"? It's kinda like that.

Oh, I know and I was not actually expecting an answer. I am just putting the cosmology of this fucked up world together once and for all and trying to work all of the pieces into their correct positions. I think I nearly have it: the DWD Grand Unified Theory of Why Things Are Really This Fucked Up.

Oh man - watching the 4th season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm, in which Larry is about to have sex with his costar when he finds out she's a Republican and has a picture of Bush in her dressing room. I don't think I could stand it if it were any funnier.
I'm glad sitten's feeling better, that shit was quite a shock to her system.
It sure would be a shame if some crackhead knifed Mozilo for his Rolex and his shoes. I'd cry my eyes out.

Thanks for the heads up. They suck so hard. Their writing staff are all frat boys. Frat boys aren't funny. At least not intentionally.
Frat boys make really bad preznits.
Now Amanpour's reporting on a Palestinian suicide bomber. As a boy he aspired to be an actor and artist. Instead he ended up in the Palestinian police where a young Palestinian girl died in his arms after an Israeli retaliation bombing. His radicalization began after that.
For whole families in the occupied territory becoming a martyr is the only antidote left to despair.

So, Myra Rudolph bailed on snl this season. For me, the one saving grace of the show has always been the willingness to put some really wiggy, brilliant, slightly odd looking women comedians out there.
