No, I'M not Atrios
I'm so not Atrios. I'm stylish and not at all sweaty. And unlinked.
Oops!
Thanks, P O'Neill.
Who is this Atrios of which you speak?
I got the title for the book I'm going to write. Woman Blaming.
The long subtitle will explain how women are to blame for everything in this world. According to the media.
I like this graph of Sid's:
In the end, McNulty suffered Comey's fate. His loyalty to party did not extend beyond the boundaries of the law. Thus he became a betrayer and a fall guy. His reputation was tarnished while Gonzales remained. Gonzales carried out his shameless finger-pointing at McNulty without the slightest hesitation. The destruction of trust within his department seemed to bother him not at all. His instinct for self-preservation easily triumphed over his desire for self-respect. Bush's loyalty to Gonzales is a monument to his vulnerability if he were to resign.
Gonzo stays.
I'm so not Atrios. I'm stylish and not at all sweaty. And unlinked.
Aw, you could be sweaty if you wanted!
My face is stuffy and drippy.
I should probably go watch Jonathan Rhys Meyers be Henry VIII.
Not only unlinked, illinkerate!
"Don't be sorry for the soldiers. They fought with honor and they died with honor. We will find the lost soldiers, and anyone who was involved will pay," the 25-year-old platoon leader says.
So, someone is finally going to go after Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz et al????
Sidney? Who, where?
.
Bill Moyers is covering the "free trade" agreement the Dem leadership came to with BushCo.
Lib Dem House members are very suspicious of this deal--Guy from Harper's is saying the sop to labor and libs is just like the side agreements to NAFTA--which never had any clout and were never implemented.
Oh, my.
Who's covering this on the lib blogs, anyone know???

It was ever thus.
The freepers linked to some Standard article that says that, if Gonzo goes, it is the Watergate impeachment pattern all over again.
Dems will appoint a real ass biter, and the beloved President will be martyred.
I believe that Gonzo knows where the bodies are buried, and so Bush can't push him under the bus.
People underestimate Bush's loyalty to Abu.
He will toss him in a heartbeat if he becomes inconvenient.

When I was a kid, fiction and biographies literally saved my life.
Hecate,
Did you read those biographies with the orange covers? "Mary Todd Lincoln: Girl of the Bluegrass"...they all had subtitles. Our library had a couple of hundred of them, and I read them all before I was 10 years old. Let's see: Thomas Jefferson, Julia Ward Howe, Juliette Gordon Low, Louisa May Alcott, etc.
People underestimate Bush's loyalty to Abu.

Bush needs him lots more than he needs Bush right now. No way can Bush afford a real AG who does his/her job. Nor can Bush afford a confirmation hearing for a new AG in front of a Democratic Senate. Abu stays until he rots.

Just got back from the park with the dogs. Nice.
Blue Herons flying low and grouping on the other side of the lake, till Wiley and Eddy ran by. 
Eddy swam way out, maybe 30 40 yards.
Freaked me out! There's alligators in there, not big ones, but still. He looked tired as he headed back, some times high in the water, then tasting water. But he LOVED it.
He's never done that before, except in the river.
A short time later a small 3/4 ft gator appeared. We both agreed, bad idea.
Eddy could kill that thing on land but not in the water.
But a nice evening, there.
Mostly very relaxing. Love the water fowl.

I think women are blamed for everything because somehow it is thought that women exist for other people whereas men, without further specification, exist for themselves. It's much easier then to think that it is perfectly acceptable to criticize women all the time for tasks they have failed.
Hecate,
Did you read those biographies with the orange covers?
I remember those! In second and third grade, for reasons still unclear to me, I went through this huge phase of reading bios of Clara Barton. I think that I read every bio of her that existed at the time. Then, I did the same thing w/ Beehtoven, Socrates, Susan Anthony, and on and on.
OK, see if that link works now. I don't know why the other one didn't.
"Rumsfeld has a small but storied history as an author. Even before he left government in the mid-1970s, he self-published a offbeat pamphlet of advice for Washington officials, called Rumsfeld's Rules".
No....NO !!!! He wrote the title 'Rumsfeld RULES.' That is his freaking problem.
Bush needs him lots more than he needs Bush right now. No way can Bush afford a real AG who does his/her job.
I know! He'll appoint...Jeb! "Look Ma, I'm Kennedyesque!"

I think I read everyone of them in our school library, read one a day. Being ADD, it was a godsend for my teachers.
I think you are going to have some difficulty with a 9:1 female-to-male ratio.
Hecate,
Clara Barton eh? I remember those. Back when it was okay to have people to look up to right? The silly old days. When Abe Lincoln learned to read and write by the firelight. . .
(Reading that this thought just popped into my head, How long before people really start hating rich people?)
"...Let's see: Thomas Jefferson, Julia Ward Howe, Juliette Gordon Low, Louisa May Alcott, etc."
--Soprano,
I read them all. Check out from the library. Ours had blue covers, if I remember correctly. What memories.
Ahoy-hoy
Whole Moyers' program good, as usual
Thnx, Stretch, for putting a name to the man I id'd as "guy from Harper's."
And, yes, righteous! Fiery! To the streets if necessary! Woohoo!
I remember those! In second and third grade, for reasons still unclear to me, I went through this huge phase of reading bios of Clara Barton. I think that I read every bio of her that existed at the time.
Me, too! I went through a Clara Barton phase around age eight. And I was very enamoured of Jane Addams (of Hull House fame) at that age. There was an orange bio of her in the collection. I read both an orange bio and a beige, oversize bio of Barton. (Can't remember the authors, but I remember what the volumes looked like. Weird.)

Yes, it is silly. When someone says something so totally over the top, it can be construed as humor. There is no possible way in which my comic scenario will come to pass, and no possible way I would support it becoming reality. I originally thought of it in response to Bill O'Reilly's claim that immigrants = criminals. If you want to cut the crime rate, abort all male babies. Of course that is abhorrent, just as it is abhorrent to pin crime on immigrants or terrorism on Muslims.
If you take anything that I said seriously, I feel very sorry for you.

That sounds gay.
you should just go read over at FDL, the thing about Padilla. Substitute your name for his and reflect how it could be anybody in his shoes.
Eeeep!
Allie, I did not think you were serious. But I do get tired of the stereotypes of men. Not all of us are beer-drinking-sports-loving-miscreants who cannot do a damned thing without the help of the little woman. (As SEEN on TV. Another in a long list of reasons I avoid it as much as possible)

Uh-huh. Because other than the man-stereotypes, TV is relatively stereotype free.
Richard Pryor should have starred in that movie. The universe is unfair.
Richard Pryor was one of the writers.
Yup, and they thought he was too "controversial." Or too black. Or something.
I thought this: >< was Eric Cartman when he's angry.

Well, IMHO, Richared Pryor is way funnier, but Cleavon Little is sexier.
Allie, no tv is full of stereotypes: all sorts. I am just sensitive to the man thing.
The really insidious thing about these stereotypes is that they CAN become self-perpetuating and that is just plain pitiful.

Allie,
Why not? I complain all of the time. Stereotypes are, IMHO, dangerous for they further assumptions that are generally incorrect.
The entire racial hatred thing is based on stereotypes. When I am teaching my kids we laugh about them because they are simply absurd. In my class of twenty five children who happen to be black, there is not single point of view. There are commonalities but there is not one perceived "good" way to be. But people try to pigeonhole people this way.
As long as stereotypes exist as a shorthand for categorization then they will remain as facilitators of hate and contempt.

Sometimes it is true in reverse.
It looks like more effort was put into building Jones Beach than in rebuilding New Orleans. Moses might have been insanely evil, but he would have gotten New Orleans rebuilt.
Oh, man, I'm having flashbacks to my childhood when my mother would take us out of school so we could go to Jones Beach.

Echidne,
You don't believe that love is blind? I do. I always have. It has always seemed to me that physical attributes in a relationship are WAY overrated. I can honestly say that Mrs DWD is much more attractive than I am. That is a good thing I guess. I never questioned her about it. I accepted her as she accepted me.
The acceptance is the important part. Not the," I love you but. . . " It is the, "You are perfect the way you are" part. And I don't think that has much to do with physical state.
With highways through the ethnic neighborhoods.
yep.
You never went to Riis Park?
Nah, mom preferred Jones Beach. Easier to get to from the GW Bridge
With highways through the ethnic neighborhoods.
The Ninth Ward would be surrounded by spaghetti bowls of overpasses.
Sometimes it is true in reverse.
If it works...
It just seems over represented in TV land.
You don't believe that love is blind?
Pretty much, if by love you mean the long-term love and affection that is based on the characteristics of the person which really matter. The problem is in the first meeting thing, which isn't that blind for some.
It has always seemed to me that physical attributes in a relationship are WAY overrated.
Much of the science I've read says otherwise.

Of course not real, but why this fixation that a successful comedy features those types of characters? Are they convinced that their audience identifies (and therefor tunes in) with that type of show?

I dunno, some subjects really are not amenable to being discussed in a forum like this. I think physical/psychological attraction might be one of these. (The last time I even broached the subject it took me 437 pages and I did not reach a conclusion.)
I think that this is because there really is no answer. There are gradations of answers. What is true in one situation simply cannot be transferred to another. There are similarities but these similarities tend to disappear quickly.
Cliche's do work. But the opposites attract also work. Sometimes a virile man will choose a macha woman: sometimes he will find a super effeminate lady. Why? I dunno. (And that is my best answer.)

If you binge, you're in trouble.
If you purge, you need help.
When I was a kid my grandfather kept me stocked up on these... damn I miss him.

Calling all candy lovers!
oh, man! They've got space food stix!
"The English are kind of weird when it comes to the way things taste, Mom. They aren't like us. It might be the climate. They go for things we would never dream of. Sometimes it is enough to turn your stomach, boy. The other day I had had one of these things they call 'wine jellies.' That's their idea of candy, Mom! Figure out a way to feed some to that Hitler 'n' I betcha the war'd be over tomorrow!" Now once again he finds himself checking out these ruddy gelatin objects, nodding, he hopes amiably, at Mrs. Quoad. They have the names of different wines written on them in bas-relief.
"Just a touch of menthol too," Mrs. Quoad popping one into her mouth. "Delicious."
Slothrop finally chooses one that says Lafitte Rothschild and stuffs it on into his kisser. "Oh yeah. Yeah. Mmm. It's great."
"If you really want something peculiar try the Bernkastler Doktor. Oh! Aren't you the one who brought me those lovely American slimy elm things, maple-tasting with a touch of sassafras---"
"Slippery elm. Jeepers I'm sorry, I ran out yesterday."
Darlene comes in with a steaming pot and three cups on a tray. "What's that?" Slothrop a little quickly, here.
"You don't really want to know, Tyrone."
"Quite right," after the first sip, wishing she'd used more lime juice or something to kill the basic taste, which is ghastly-bitter. These people are really insane. No sugar, natch. He reaches in the candy bowl, comes up with a black, ribbed licorice drop. It looks safe. But just as he's biting in, Darlene gives him, and it, a peculiar look, great timing this girl, sez, "Oh, I thought we got rid of all those---" a blithe, Gilbert & Sullivan ingenue's thewse---"years ago," at which point Slothrop is encountering this dribbling liquid center, which tastes like mayonnaise and orange peels.
"You've taken the last of my Marmalade Surprises!" cries Mrs. Quoad, having now with conjuror's speed produced an egg-shaped confection of pastel green, studded all over with lavender nonpareils. "Just for that I shan't let you have any of these marvelous rhubarb creams." Into her mouth it goes, the whole thing.
"Serves me right," Slothrop, wondering just what he means by this, sipping herb tea to remove the taste of the mayonnaise candy---oops but that's a mistake, right, here's his mouth filling once again with horrible alkaloid desolation, all the way back to the soft palate where it digs in. Darlene, pure Nightingale compassion, is handing him a hard red candy, molded like a stylized raspberry... mm, which oddly enough even tastes like a raspberry, though it can't begin to take away that bitterness. Impatiently, he bites into it, and in the act knows, fucking idiot, he's been had once more, there comes pouring out onto his tongue the most godawful crystalline concentration of Jeez it must be pure nitric acid, "Oh mercy that's really sour," hardly able to get the words out he's so puckered up, etc etc etc
a bit of Jolly Rancher history...

The trick with Jolly Ranchers is to let them dissolve on your tongue until they become malleable. Then you can create all kind of interesting shapes.
I have a young labrador retriever bugging me for pats at teh moment. Later
I'm eventually going to put together a collection of the water tiger shots and make a new banner.
just not right now.
i'm sleepy.
Do you remember what was nicknamed "Cum Gum"?

Indeed, it was an artistic medium, the partially-dissolved Rancher.
I remember some cough drops -- Smith Brothers, perhaps? -- that were oval-shaped and soft ... I used to BEG for them when I'd get a cough as a kid. They really were like candy ...
Wine gums are delicious. Can't get them here but there're in Canada. Once you have them you don't go back to gummi (which is after all German for "rubber").

Oh, damn, the gum with the liquid center!

Was the the square gum with the liquid center? I can't remember the name of 'em now ...
Any Skype users out there?
I've started a skype public chat called George W. Bush sucks, which you are welcome to join.
The only person in the chat right now is me.

Gotta be Maynard's. The black ones.
Hey, kids, be as cool as Mom and Dad with bubblegum cigarettes!
I believe the gum was called "Bite me Baby"
Oh, damn, the gum with the liquid center!
"Freshen Up" I don't think it lasted long...on the market that is.
Ludens?
enelysion
I don't think so ... I don't think Ludens were soft, were they?
Another odd memory - my mother used to eat this little dietetic caramel-type things to keep her weight down. This would have been in the early '70s. The remarkable thing now is that they were called "Ayds."
It'd be difficult to market those now ...
The Grey Lady don't love Bush so much anymore.
----
Each time, we’re told Mr. Bush repays loyalty with loyalty. We’re told it’s a sign of character.
We don’t buy the explanation. The more persuasive answer is that Mr. Bush protects his embattled advisers because they are doing precisely what he told them to do.

Or Sha-boopy
Mmm....Sugar Babies.....
historyman -- Cool link. I'd forgotten all about those things. When I was a kid they were in the penny-candy jars on the counter at the corner candy store.

Here's your beverage, wt.

Ai-yup! Smith Brothers.
Ludens were hard lozenges, NEVER to be confused with Sucrets.
Mmm....Sugar Babies.....
And their cousins Milk Duds.
And tooth decay on a stick - SlowPokes.
Yes, Smith Brothers! They rocked. Cherry and licorice, I believe were the two flavors ... there may have been a honey variety too.
Also, SHEETS!!!
Oh, and the mini-Chiclets gum. open the pack, empty contents into mouth.

NTodd, Gaiigaiigaiigaiigaii
Gotta be cherry or honey lemon. Wait, are there any other flavors?
You dirty fuckin' hippies and your "cum gum" disgust me. I'm going to grab Merkin Patriot and go to bed now.
Corner store by me carries:
Charleston "MUTHA FRACKIN'" CHEW BABY!!
FREEZE IT! SMACK IT!!! EAT IT!!!!
.
"I'm going to grab Merkin Patriot and go to bed now."
Never knew Merkin was a stuffed animal.
I remember some cough drops -- Smith Brothers, perhaps?
And Ludens . . .

Marathon Bars (Same prep), and a large Chocolate Milk.
"And Ludens . . ."
Ludens in the 60's, one of the worst tasting things from that era.
Y'know? To the m$m punditocracy (I'm watching the wall st journal guy subbing for ifil on whatever on pbs) "The President," if he is a republic, is treated like a loveable saint while all dems are treated with dismissive disdain. That's been the bottom line of media propaganda from before day one of the republics' version of the most significant day in the history of the Earth, Sept. 11. And I'm stoned.
And tooth decay on a stick - SlowPokes.
FeralLiberal
I fuckin' hated SlowPokes..until, like, early December when all the other candy was gone. They were pretty good then, as I recall. Yeah, I loved SlowPokes.
Pine Bros. Cough Drops were the soft ones.

Big Hunk was the local species of Charleston Chew.
Can't remember the name of it, but there was also a near-popsicle-sized caramel lollipop that would damn near do you in if you tried to finish it in one sitting. Yellow wrapper with red lettering.
SteveLG - word up. Ficht nicht mit der racketenmensch.
Sheets, like 15 minutes ago.
Now that I think about it, my post about Falwell rising after 5 days (inflation, man) and having his way with the head of the actor while making Paris Hilton judge the winners and loosers for him was not a temporary alter-ego comment, but a troll name-steal. My apologies for the factual error and the troll feeding.
