Good evening.
History Channel right now: "The History of Sex."
I misread that at first. I thought it was a documentary about me, entitled "Sex Is History."
I resent having to post a my shitty comments on this asshole thread.
...I remember when Di died. My wife and I wrote a letter to the editor. I wonder if it's on the internet anywheres....
Of course, because there's never too many assholes in the world...
Love was out to get me.
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
My friend Matt says that everyone's an asshole to some other asshole...
Some essential part of human judgment is missing in the brains of those who thought of this story, wrote it and let it be published. But of course they are getting exactly what they want, which is attention.
1. An executive order cannot limit a President. There is no constitutional requirement for a President to issue a new executive order whenever he wishes to depart from the terms of a previous executive order. Rather than violate an executive order, the President has instead modified or waived it.
2. The President, exercising his constitutional authority under Article II, can determine whether an action is a lawful exercise of the President’s authority under Article II.
3. The Department of Justice is bound by the President’s legal determinations.
In other words, the president is the law.
This will not end well.

a young reporter, in an effort to see how easy it was to off herself, went down to the pawn shop bout a nickel plated .45 and created an art masterpiece that was compared in certain circles to one of pollocks finest...only to find that the artist wasn't doing any more work.
Claire Danes "feels extremely violated" by this week's 4,000-word New York Press cover story, in which the actress is "stalked" by reporter Rebecca Tucker. So distressed was she that ICM chairman Jeff Berg, whose company represents her, called up the Press this afternoon to tell editor David Blum to "redact" online a reference to the street where Danes lives. Blum declined.
"He got very hostile," Blum said, noting that Berg asked, "What are you going to do, print her phone number next?" The story had put Danes "into the gunsights," according to Berg.

I'm being stalked.
We chose Danes as our test subject because she’s a famous woman (nearly three quarters of stalking victims are female) who lives downtown, where there are no doormen to interfere; because she’s got enough star power to attract a stalker but not enough to have security around 24/7; and because we discovered that Parker Posey, our first choice, had moved out of town.

Lead story in Sunday's Washington Post (not online yet)
In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included future-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.
Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said

So the hate crimes bill is dead for this year, basically due to the unwillingness of Democrats to fund the war, even though the bill will pass easily now that the Matthew Shepard Act has been removed. Rep. Barney Frank is calling for the Senate to consider it as a stand-alone bill as early as February. The House passed a stand-alone hate crimes act earlier this year.
What a fucked-up scenario. Republicans threatened to vote against the bill because it protected dirty queers. Democrats threatened to vote against the bill because it funded a dirty war.

Maybe I am confusing this with another channel. Somebody had a series called "History of Sex" which was made up of a number of episodes broken down by era ("era" being defined as "a period about which somebody has written a book thereby doing all our research-type shit for us"). Anyway, one of them was "Sex in the CW" based on a book called "The Story the Soldiers Wouldn't Tell" by a Dr. Thomas Lowry.
Retired doctor and Civil War fan with a dirty mind, he spend years digging through National Archives records, mostly courts-martial. Wound up getting quite a few books out of it, not all about sex, which keep him in speaking gigs and beer money.
Never met him personally although we corresponded a bit on the subject of copyright when I used to do a column for my magazine called "The Bawdy Side of the Civil War." I always gave him full credit mind you.... he was most gracious about it. We finally cancelled the column though because teachers were complaining about it.

Printing the street is ridiculous. Honestly, in NYC, it's hard to tell if someone is camped outside a house/apartment building stalking somebody because there are so many people on the streets at any one moment. That person could be just hanging out, relaxing, or in fact, be stalking. It's really hard to tell.
But doing a story like that is really fucked up.
But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said

A lot of people overuse the term "stalking." Dilutes its meaning.
"Coming up, communal beds, buggery, and friendly farm animals."
Just heard on The History Channel. 
The English term buggery is very close in meaning to the term sodomy, and is often used interchangeably in law and popular speech. It is also a specific criminal offence under the English common law.

Think Mark Foley and Larry Craig are texting while they watch.
Stalkers build up this image of their targets like their perfect, wonderful people, when the complete opposite is true.
The word bugger and buggery are still commonly used in modern English as a profanity, and "buggery" is also synonymous with anal sex.
The word "bugger" was derived from "Bulgar", that is, "Bulgarian", meaning the medieval Bulgarian sect of the Bogomils, which spread into Western Europe and was branded by the established church as particularly devoted to the practice of sodomy.

The Buggery Act of 1534 (25 Hen. VIII c. 6) was a sodomy law adopted in England in 1534 during the reign of Henry VIII, and was the first civil legislation applicable against homosexuals in the country, such offences having previously been dealt with by ecclesiastical courts. The law defined buggery as an unnatural sexual act against the will of God and man. This was later defined by the courts to include only anal sex and bestiality.

I had a British friend whose strongest curse was "Well, bugger me blue." I think he made it up because I've never heard anyone else use it.

If we were children we might climb,
Catch the rooks sleeping, and break no twig,
And, after our soft ascent,
Thrust out our heads above the branches
To wonder at the unfailing stars.
That is lovely, Cougarhutch.
Out of confusion, as the way is,
And the wonder that man knows,
Out of chaos would come bliss.
This was later defined by the courts to include only anal sex and bestiality.
Any good lawyer can prove you didn't do both before the court. Ask Rep.Craig(R-Bathroom) he can demonstrate that, if needed.
The Buggery Act was repealed in 1553 on the accession of Queen Mary. However, it was re-enacted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1563 and became the charter for all subsequent criminalisation in the English-speaking world. In England, only a few executions are known during the two centuries that followed. The Act itself was finally repealed by the Offences Against the Person (England) Act 1828 and the Criminal Law (India) Act 1828, though the crime remained on the statute books under other legislation. Buggery remained a capital offence in England until 1861; and the last execution for the crime took place in 1836.

Ironically, the show 24, for the first few seasons, had a black actor playing the President.
Republicans loved that show, and in their acceptance of that show, they also accepted a black president.
I don't know exactly what that means, but it's like that show, 24 - did all the heavy lifting for Obama.
Now it's really no surprise to them that he would be a credible candidate, because in their subconscious minds, they have already accepted him as President.
So thank you, Jack Bauer
Buggery remained a capital offence in England until 1861; and the last execution for the crime took place in 1836.
Well, how fucking considerate of them, knowing that several of their Royal Hignesses were buggerers as well.
TMC has stolen the poem to pitch their channel, but I can't get too pissed off at them- they are the only place lately where someone like Thomas is hitting mass media.
"It doesn’t sound at all foolish to me that tapes containing this sort of information would be too hot to handle. Saudis provided much of the muscle for the attack, quite likely much of the monetary support, and certainly ideological support for Al Quaida. Pakistan’s intelligence service had supplied them with a safe haven from which to operate under the protection of the Taliban regime, whose ascendancy they had facilitated. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the U.A.E. were the only governments who had extended diplomatic recognition to the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan. The reputed incriminating evidence on the interrogation tapes may have already been used to bring the Saudis and the Pakistanis to heel, and part of whatever deal that was made was that the evidence of their involvement would conveniently “disappear”. You couldn’t put the genie back in the bottle entirely; too many people would know of the existence of these revelations for that to happen. So this disposal of the evidence would have to be accounted for in some way, through a cover story from the powers that be, as hinky as it may seem. Too unflattering for all parties for this information to be left available. Anyway, an alternative explanation worth considering."

A great spurt of Huckajeebus in Iowa
----
The most dramatic result to come out of the poll, which is based on telephone interviews with 1,408 registered Iowa voters on Dec. 5 and 6, is Huckabee's emergence from the shadows of the GOP race into the front runner's spot in just two months. The ordained Southern Baptist minister now leads Romney by a two-to-one margin, 39 percent to 17 percent, among likely GOP caucus-goers. In the last NEWSWEEK survey, conducted Sept. 26-27, Huckabee polled a mere 6 percent to Romney's 25 percent, which then led the field.

A tragic story indeed, but your MIL's laundry equipment was in no way culpable or involved and she should have been compensated for a new one.

Well, I know someone whose MIL takes the cake, usually illegally. She has been in prison as a felon, was an embezzler and steals from her own family. This guy was military and on his first overseas assignment, placed his excess household goods in storage with her. She sold it all. She did this a second time when she was in the household. This time they went to all the pawn shops threatening legal action to get a lot of their stuff back. He did end up paying for some of his own property one way or another to get it back. From what he has told me, she adopted out a SIL's baby and the child has never been found. That daughter will never have a thing to do with her again as well as one son. However, this MIL is still in my friend's home. The entire family is dysfunctional and his wife is extremely weird. He counts for nothing. The second brother in law is as bad as his mother. They have paid out almost all their funds to bail this guy out of jail and debt time and again. My friend at one time had a nice retirement account based on his Military pension (Retired early on medical). Found it cleaned out by the wife to pay for problems the MIL and BIL had. The wife never told him.
And it goes on and on and on.

You got it. This guy's life is like this continually. Monday morning is always a bit like a Springer show. It is his own fault, excuse me for saying it this way, no balls. He blames his wife all the time but he never realizes that one he is fifty percent of the equation and two his acquiescence in all things is just as bad. His three kids (adults now) are complete messes.
Wow. Movies about giant squids and huge octopi just never get old, do they?

I just went to the wife's company Xmas party. There was an older couple there who said their son had in the last 5 years been in either Iraq or afghanistan 3 times and was going again to afghanistan. They were looking worried and sad.Apparently, he'd left a good job, and ended up in the Army. I asked if he was Reserves or National Guard and they said no, he'd enlisted after George Bush had given some call to duty after 911.
I didn't say any more. I understand patriotism to my country but not to the President. I wouldn't want to die for President George Bush. I just didn't know what to say.
I left the party afterwards depressed and sad.

By the 70's an era of orgies and sexual openness began to clear away 2000 years of sexual repression. What resulted was a less uptight and more open society. The sexual revolution led to a social revolution and the end of history was near.

My son just showed me something I found interesting. On his PS3 game console, there's a distributed research computing application, called 'folding at home'. It can show the real time mapping across the globe of PS3 machines doing this. Their's some topographical features showing, oceans, mountains and such that show, but no city names or national borders. Only lit spots for places running the app. It seemed to me that this could be used as a form of gathering real-time econometric sampling though the built in intrinsic filters are kind of odd.
"PrayStation"
I also find myself amused by the ghastly array of
shiny things gaudily portrayed which are nothing more than more-diamond-chips-than-anyone-could-count smashed together into cocktail rings.
The intrisic sampling filtering that the PS3 FAH (folding at home app) has are;
People who have a PS3,
Who run folding at home,
who don't mind running it when they are not playing a game,
and so have some amount of excess income to pay, for the game, to keep the box on, and enough interest to run this app without any visible immediate return. (kind of a liberal thought. The map of the US was brightly lit with machines running this. More people have liberal leanings here then are aware of them) Though their may be some dim hope that any family diseases they are prone to get cured.
Here's a development: though BillO has sought valiantly to undo it, the notion of "The Holidays" seems firmly with us, and I find that the period from Thanksgiving thru New Year's fits easily into this mold.

Iran Has Halted Oil Transactions In Dollars
http://www.nasdaq.com/aspxconten...LINE000007.htm&
sure to be a depressing influence on the value of the dollar, and fairly significant, since the fact that oil trades in dollars is the main thing that keeps its value afloat. there was a rumour that a big reason for going into iraq was that saddam was going to stop selling oil for dollars and start demanding euros instead
ooops

Iran is doing everything it can short of overt military action to harm us; we are doing nothing less.

the shadow of the future came around again today
it laughed at all my fears and problems
i can feel it, i can fear it, it can touch me but i can't know what it is
the future will take us all down together
but don't worry
it would all happen one way or another and then people go tch tch tch when they read about it in history books and think things like that will never happen to them
but we will have to live it
when it comes we will re-balance our little checkbooks of hopes and fears, devalue our futures, and count our joys more valuable since after all we aren't quite dead yet
days will taste more beautiful because they will always have that tang of imminent death
and the weeds will still grow by the roadside and laugh at us for caring

My observation after years of tending and hawking plants, is that Nature abhors a naked wound in Earth -- and weeds spring forth to cover such almost instantaneously.

Hope your dad is up to talking with you today, plantsman.
Doug, with the occupied White House racking up new atrocities every week, I would argue that impeachment is the only tool we have to return to order and law.
In my mind impeachment is certainly deserved and justified -- but whatever will move us most quickly away from this hell will do fine.
Timmeh interviewed Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg
on his show about her new book A Family Christmas. They ended with her interpolation of The Gift of The Magi and why it is so touching a story of sacrifice and giving.

july - dec 2006 1000 - 2500 violent iraqi deaths per month
"let the strategy work"
jan 2007 - aug 2007 1000 - 3000 violent iraqi deaths per month
"give the surge a chance"
sept - nov 2007, 400 - 500 violent iraqi deaths per month, 165k american troops

29 and clear, here.
but the neighborhoods are pacified. 600,000 or so dead Iraqis can't fight anymore. So bring the troops home. So what if we're leaving it in the hands of the troops we fought against to take Iraq in the first place.
Doug, this changing the rules every time they don't say what he wants can't be tolerated anymore. Either we impeach or he made the U.S. into a farce.

Klein pointed out in her book that when Argentina fell, South Americans suddenly made "privatization" the enemy. In fact the re elected president of Brazil won because that was his main political statement--running against privatization.
It seems to me if Dodd, who has much to offer, would have the nerve to run on a theme of anti privatization, he might well win. Or, anybody for that matter. People understand it a lot better now than even a couple years ago--privatization is just flat out stealing from the public.
TV, there is no excuse for having 'achieved their goals' - revising the object of the Surge - and not letting the troops leave.
