I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
bunny?
Heh.
i refreshed looking for a bunny and found handsome atrios.
i'm betting he posted this in advance after a long night of carousing.
dude won't be up before noon.
I just thought fluffy bunnies would be cheerful for a Saturday morning.
There was already a baby boomlet underway this year, I have read; with birth rates higher than at any time since post WW2 Boom.
i'm betting he posted this in advance after a long night of carousing.
oh, you totally know that's true. all this early morning/drinking posts haven't fooled me. no sir.
baby bunnies? or baby libruls?
democracy is messy. We should just let Norm Coleman win. Less icky that way.
Here's another bunny for chidy.

What possible reason could there be for bringing up "butterfly ballots and hanging chads," given that "there are neither of those" present in Minnesota? Whatever the intent, the effect is clear -- it creates the impression that the situation in Minnesota is utter chaos, a "debacle" in the making.
---Well, the obvious reason is to make the probable outcome, a Franken victory, seem illegitimate in the same way Bush 2000 was, thereby balancing the imaginary scales and being able to say the Democrats do it, too. They shouldn't get away with it, for all the reasons Foser lists.
Good morning.
Did I miss a sheets call? GRrrr.
In the hours and days since Obama's victory, many of his exhilarated supporters have been, shall we say, in the mood for love. And though it's too soon to know for sure, experts aren't ruling out the possibility of an Obama baby boom—the kind of blip in the national birth rate that often follows a seismic event
Hope and euphoria, says University of Washington sociologist Pepper Schwartz, are a serious aphrodisiac. And voters under 30 went for Obama by a margin of 2 to 1. When you combine those two elements—randy people of child-bearing age—the likely result is what the online Urban Dictionary has already dubbed "Obama Babies" : children "conceived after Obama was proclaimed President, by way of celebratory sex."
I said, "Dad's up", rather than sheets. So it's my fault.

It's funny, but note that there is no actual data on anything.

it was "dad's up." pretty sly.
excellent. Moe, Wombat: if you wouldn't mind, i'd like to discuss some stuff with both of you via email. if you would be so kind as to drop me a line at anheduanna AT yahho dawt com, i'd be much obliged.
Here's another bunny for chidy.
weapons grade cuteness!!! thanks, goddess. i feel fuzzy already.
OK, the bunny is cute, but that is offset by our host posting early for the third or fourth day in a row.
I'm worried, folks.
It's funny, but note that there is no actual data on anything.
in my limited universe, it's total bullshit. 
Oh, Echidne, just shut that pretty mouth of yours. Everyone knows the plural of anecdote is data, and the essence of anecdote is wishful thinking...
hey, if folks under 30 need an election-aphrodisiac, they're not doin' it right. just sayin'.
Well, they did note in the part I didn't quote Echidne, that seismic national events tend to produce baby booms. Obama was born exactly 9 months after Kennedy was killed. Of course there was the NY blackout baby boomlet.
Comparing MN to FL is bogus.
You'd need to equate the "Brooks Brothers Riot" with the Bethel Lutheran Church of Owatonna running out of coffee after service before all the bakery is gone.

A little more on Mr Average Face Book quoted in the NYT

not killed: elected. big difference, one hopes.

Certainly, CD. A series of interconnecting tubes are carrying an electronic message, an "e-mail," if you will, through several universities, a porn distribution company and the offices of Homeland Security, right to your computer.

Outrage. It's the new caffeine to get things circulating in the am.
Bush delivered his paean to American capitalism at Federal Hall, just a stone's throw from the New York Stock Exchange. The historic building was the site of the inauguration of George Washington and the first sessions of the US Congress. The august setting stood in stark contrast to the character of the select audience, which, in the gap between its ideological proclivities and socioeconomic reality, resembled a meeting of the flat earth society.
A total of 175 people turned out for the session, organized by the Manhattan Institute, a right-wing think tank that specializes in demonizing the poor while promoting tax cuts, financial deregulation, the dismantling of social programs and the decimation of public education.
While admitting some isolated failings, Bush rejected any indictment of the capitalist system. "The crisis was not a failure of the free market system," he proclaimed. "And the answer is not to try to reinvent that system. It is to fix the problems we face, make the reforms we need, and move forward with the free-market principles that have delivered prosperity and hope to people all across the globe."
His faith in the "free market," however, remained rock solid: "Like any other system designed by man, capitalism is not perfect [presumably, only the eternal free market created by God in the hereafter can attain such a state]. It can be subject to excesses and abuse. But it is by far the most efficient and just way of structuring an economy. At its most basic level, it offers people the freedom to choose where they work and what they do."
He continued: "Free market capitalism is more than an economic theory. It is the engine of social mobility—the highway to the American Dream."
Bush was forced to admit that even his commitment to the free market has limits. "We are faced with the prospect of a global meltdown," he said. "And so we've responded with bold measures. I'm a market-oriented guy, but not when I'm faced with the prospect of a global meltdown."
These "bold measures"—backed not only by Bush but also by President-elect Barack Obama—have amounted to the looting of trillions of dollars in social wealth in order to bail out the country's biggest banks and Wall Street finance houses. Hundreds of billions of dollars of this money is flowing directly into bonuses for financial executives and dividends for wealthy shareholders, while facilitating the consolidation of banks and the further concentration of wealth.
"Free-market principles" continue to apply in full force, however, to workers who have lost their jobs and to families facing foreclosure on their homes. For them there is no bailout, only the prospect of being forced to pay for the trillions lavished on Wall Street through further attacks on living standards, jobs and social programs.
Chidy: back atcha

Did you see the post about Sarkozy telling Putin that he shouldn't trash Georgia, because he might wind up like Bush?
ProfWombat
I did. I'm waiting for Bush to be incorporated into the lexicon ala "Hooverville".
Here's Greenwald, citing Sarkozy and Putin dismissing Bush:
Nicolas Sarkozy saved the President of Georgia from being hanged “by the balls” — a threat made last summer by Vladimir Putin, according to an account that emerged yesterday from the Élysée Palace. . . .
The Russian seemed unconcerned by international reaction. “I am going to hang Saakashvili by the balls,” Mr Putin declared.
Mr Sarkozy thought he had misheard. “Hang him?” — he asked.
“Why not?” Mr Putin replied. “The Americans hanged Saddam Hussein.”
Mr Sarkozy, using the familiar tu, tried to reason with him: “Yes but do you want to end up like [President] Bush?”
Mr Putin was briefly lost for words, then said: “Ah -- you have scored a point there.”

Atrios never posts fuzzy bunny pics.
Road: well, the incoherence Bush exhibits is only in the eyes of someone who thinks the task of governance is to, well, govern, making people's lives better, solving problems, facing reality, like that. Or someone who thinks there's a particular ideology that should underly one's actions, even a conservative one.
If you, rather, consider Bush's goal as the aggrandizement of power in an unchecked executive for the enrichment of his ilk and his clients, it makes perfect sense.

Molly, one of the Habitat for Humanity build team told me and my son after the project was over that he was sure when he saw that a mom and son were on the team that we were surely going to have a blowup before it was over.
We have a good casual relationship, which he found some team members saying they envied. So many crazy families.

Roadmaster, Milwaukee Office
I still have some questions about all that.
I understand that the "missing" money from the refinanced equity in overvalued houses was dispersed and "ran" the consumer economy until the cycle ended.
What became of the money that went to the "winners" on the big CDO gamble? The losers got bailed out, but who took the money home?
I worried that the lack of transparency in Paulson's urgent bailout meant we were being scammed, but I figured when Europe, etc. followed suit that it wasn't just the corrupt crowd on Wall Street and in DC. There really was a big problem.
Road: and then there's that noise the kids call music these days. They should get more of their kicks on Route 66...

Coleman's defiled the legacy of Wellstone by comparing himself.
The least he could do to meet that threshold is an abrupt descent.
the cretin in chief on my teebee saying the economy is going to survive him.
One of the more odious takes on the news I've seen was that it was, somehow, morally objectionable to recognize Wellstone's partisanship for progressive causes at his funeral, as if his politics weren't at the center of a decent man's life.

a lieberman question for everyone....
forgive me if i'm not the first to ask this, but why doesn't another dem just run against lieberman for the chairmanship? kind of like waxman is running against dingell in the house for a chairmanship. it seems to me that would eliminate all this crap talk about having to show "unity" and it would allow a fair democratic debate. it would also let us see where all of our dem senators stand on lieberman.

"Bush...greeted each of his guests individually as they pulled up to the North Portico, with smiles and back pats for most, a protocol-laden process that took over 75 minutes. The leaders then ate with him in the State Dining Room, working for about two hours over a gourmet meal of quail, lamb and fondue accompanied by fancy wines."

Moe Szyslak, hookers & blow
Well, it would inappropriate to discuss hookers&blow, and election night sex there.
Although, come to mention it, this is pretty good:
Kudos to the Chronicle-Herald, which put the resources and reporters into tracking down the details of HRM's questionable lie detector tests given to prospective city employees.
The lie test comes at the end of the process, after the applicant has already spent hundreds of dollars on other tests, and the questions are seemingly arbitrary, if not downright insulting---reportedly, one woman was asked if she had sex with animals.
Wait, it gets worse still. Applicants to the fire department have to pay for the lie detector tests themselves---a caller told me he spent over $1,000 on the series of tests, only to be disqualified at the end of the process by what he deemed a bogus question---but the police department picks up the tab for applicants to the PD. And, turns out, the test is actually farmed out to an independent firm, owned by two Halifax police officers.
I suspect the hiring scandal goes even deeper; I was told last year that a fellow who applied to become an IT worker for the city was denied the position because he admitted that, years ago, he smoked pot. In the city's eyes this meant he would steal residents' credit card info when they pay parking tickets, because, you know, pot smokers are all thieves. There's something fundamentally broken in the city hiring department.
Moe Bloomie did an executive order (or something) that makes people that give out plastic bags charge 6 cents each. 5 cents for the city and 1 cent for the store.
Nice work, Moe.
Reading Moe's blog and newspaper articles might lead one to conclude that Canada is not, in fact, a modern day utopia.
How are we supposed to believe that?
Well, he does have that habit of whipping out his Provincial Health Card.

Deborah Howell:
Remedying the Bias Perception
Thousands of conservatives and even some moderates have complained during my more than three-year term that The Post is too liberal; many have stopped subscribing, including more than 900 in the past four weeks.
It pains me to see lost subscribers and revenue, especially when newspapers are shrinking. Conservative complaints can be wrong: The mainstream media were not to blame for John McCain's loss; Barack Obama's more effective campaign and the financial crisis were.
But some of the conservatives' complaints about a liberal tilt are valid. Journalism naturally draws liberals; we like to change the world. I'll bet that most Post journalists voted for Obama. I did. There are centrists at The Post as well. But the conservatives I know here feel so outnumbered that they don't even want to be quoted by name in a memo.
riight.
At. going to facebook does kinda irk me (maybe cause no coffee yet)---why can't he share his true feelings with we loyal Atriots. Going to Facebook, knwoing full well we will find out, seems passive-aggressive.
I better go brew that coffee, if this is the context of my morning outrage. Plus I hate Chris Berman & Alexandra Witt.
