I don't anticipate being around to notice; or care.
Moonboo, I saw where you posted that W.H. Auden poem in Steve Gillard's memory. That's the poem that my family printed up and gave away with a picture of my brother when he died. (((hug)))
I am so sorry to learn of Steve's death. How sad that such a wonderful voice and personality has been lost. My heart goes out to his family and friends during this heartbreaking time.
After attending a horribly impersonal funeral, I told my friends that when I go they are to have a big party, drink massively, and play Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb."

You obviously advertize to republicans.
[deadthread repost]
• The Unitard™ recently cheerfully expressed the wish or intention to keep Iraq garrisoned with US military forces for the next half-century, i.e. until further notice.
• Georgeann Geyer recently reports that "Friends of his [the Unitard™] from Texas were shocked recently to find him nearly wild-eyed, thumping himself on the chest three times while he repeated 'I am the president!' He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of 'our country's destiny'."
• Not that it was exactly a secret, but just this week detailed images of the Amerikan mega-embassy fortress compound under construction in Baghdad were publicized.
Not to drift into unwelcome Woodyness, but this last item seriously calls into question the intent of our political elite to withdraw and truly diminish the Amerikan footprint in Iraq. The embassy is, I believe, exactly analogous to the Zionist practice in Israel of deliberately building homes, settlements, and communities on land upon which the occupants have no legal claim or entitlement, and have been expressly prohibited from using.
The point is to create a fait accompli, and of course it would be a shame to waste a perfectly lovely Death Star once you've gone to the trouble and expense of building it, no?
And there's no widespread public outcry. And concomitantly, there's no leadership from the complicit political elite-- which, face it, is the majority in both parties, and the party leadership-- challenging the status quo and appropriately decrying it to We the People.
Instead, there's a standing wave of acquiescence to the illicit authority of the ruling cabal...
OK, hold that thought, and I'll be back as soon as I can think of an upbeat closer.

A federal judge yesterday ordered the military to temporarily refrain from awarding the largest security contract in Iraq. The order followed an unusual series of events set off when a U.S. Army veteran filed a protest against the government practice of hiring what he calls mercenaries, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The contract, worth about $475 million, calls for a private company to provide intelligence services to the U.S. Army and security for the Army Corps of Engineers on reconstruction work in Iraq. The case, which is being heard by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, puts on trial one of the most controversial and least understood aspects of the Iraq war: the outsourcing of military security to an estimated 20,000 armed contractors who operate with little oversight.
Brian X. Scott, a 53-year-old Colorado man, filed the complaint in early April. He argues that the military's use of private security contractors is "against America's core values" and violates an 1893 law that prohibits the government from hiring quasi-military forces.

You can have your funeral there, but "buried"?
Not so much.
Sometimes, life seems incredibly cruel.
I understand Matthew 7, Richie.

I want "Dust in the Wind" played at my funeral just to annoy the fuck out of everyone.
thanks Richard, for a glimpse of Northern Ontario. I have't been there in a while, and should go back this summer for some fishing.
I live in Zurich now and am learning to be a pilot so I can see all the North when I retire there one day.

I want Chris Matthews to write my eulogy.

That leaves out Jerry Falwell.
The End, Dust In The Wind... I'm thinking I should just go ahead and make a compilation cd, just in case!
I also would like my ashes to go out back in the woods where the dogs are buried, but I guess that's illegal.

When members of the WH press corps die, they need to play "What a fool believes"
Al Gore has published a furious tirade against Bush and his Live Earth concert is next month, but is he considering a last run at the presidency?
His remark about perhaps running in the future makes me think he ia. I mean, why wait another 8 years? Unless--and this just occurred to me--he sees the next Dem Prez as a one-term dead duck due to Junior's War, and wants to avoid that. Couldn't really blame him...
Consider me kissing. Now, get to explaining!
The Duruflé Requiem is cool, but not many people know it.
annie - remember when you told me I should just explain stuff instead of snarking? Might follow your own advice.
I want Barry Manilow to sing at NTodd's funeral.
i also like Fauré's requiem, because is so peaceful
Well Comcast has decided to fuck with me again. This isn't pretty.

In my will, I specify "I Am a Patriot" by Jackson Browne and "Our Purpose Here Is to Rise Up" by Shawna Carroll. Also the poems "When Death Comes," "Little Summer Poem Touching the Subject of Faith," and "Charge of the Goddess." After that, everyone should just dance a spiral dance and go have a party.

But of course. I expected nothing less from you.
See Snow, you're one of the people I'm supposed to dust my feet at, you have no desire to hear the Word, you've heard it and turned your back on it. Troll someone else. That's a good boy.

Rest in peace, Steve. You touched and influenced more people than you probably ever knew.

Am I am a Samaritan? I think I might have a Lesson on that. Hold on.

Then, when Son and D-i-L go out, I'll sneak in a few more. I'll put them away in the toybox once G/Son's asleep, and they'll never know until tomorrow.

The Bible had lessons for those who lived when it was written and rewritten. Some of those lessons still apply, but human beings have evolved, and some of the advice simply doesn't apply any more.

To repeat one of the first sentiments I ever posted here, WTF is it with the GOP and teh gay? And Clintons first "issue" in office being none other than that? Somehow Republican America, and some others if that stupid move by the otherwise redoubtable Bill is any indication, has become a nation urgently obsessed with sexual preferences to the exclusion of virtually all else, including rational thought. It's like freakin Salem or something. Unless we are already aquainted, I.Do.Not.Want.To.Know about it, honestly. If you're gay, fine. Some of my best friends are gay, I'm straight, they're friends because we respect each other as people and, never attempted to imposed our preferences or moral judgements regarding that aspect of our own personal choice on each other either way. It's like smoking, not that the two are related, but sure, I very much do respect your right not to have my second-hand smoke in your space, but with the propaganda you would think people who smoke are fucking dracula or something. It's the rise of a profoundly unamerican culture of moralizing fluttertwits who seem to have an unquenchable urge to dissect the smallest deviations from whatever they consider "normal", allowing no room for anything other than complete banishment of anyone who may not conform to their "standards". Call it the Ingraham Effect, a sort of jihad of hypersensitivity to anything which appears to remotely differ from personal notions of perfectness. They're GAY! He called me OUTSPOKEN! Shut the fuck up. Who cares? A bunch of lunatics have overunn our White House, killed off half a million people, and all you care about is who's gay, who's a Democrat, and if you can fill up your essuvee for less than $2.50 a gallon. Perhaps if a fraction of the energy that goes into this judgementalism were put into considering one's own choices...But that would mean turning off the teeevee, and picking up a book or thinking for one's self, and that, apprently, is verboten.

I really think and feel in my heart that the "Broder bump" will happen now for President Bush, due to the uncovering of the terrorist plot at JFK. It demonstrates a fully engaged President and Federal Government, doing their job, straight ahead, no nonsense.

Oh. And Bush will never again crack 40% approval. Ever. Unless it's approval of the statement "Bush was the worst fucking president ever."
Thanks, Annie. I just remembered another song for my funeral compilation cd. "Imagine."
As in, "Imagine there's no Heaven..."
That's all well and good, Todd. But without Christ there is no intercession on your behalf and you can't go to Heaven.
Actually, you're wrong about that in general, but if that's what you feel you need to get to Heaven, rock on. My Inner Light says differently.

And then, amazingly, the president seems to trust what these special interests tell him over and over objective information prepared for him by independent analysts who are charged with protecting the public interest. Since his ideology teaches him contempt for the very notion of "the public interest," he actually prefers to rely on biased information prepared by sources of questionable reliability -- like Chalabi -- who have a private interest in a particular policy outcome. The president has, in effect, outsourced the truth."

A few years ago I celebrated my fiftieth birthday by going with a bunch of friends to see Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer. They did a great show, of course, and were all full of excitement about the new CD they were working on and talked to us long after the show was over, in spite of the fact that they were driving to New England the next day.
Two days later, Dave Carter died of a heart attack after jogging, only a month shy of his fiftieth birthday. Turned out we saw his last show.
That one hit me hard.
Dave Carter was a truly great songwriter and Dave and Tracy were a wonderful performing duo.

WASHINGTON — America may spew more greenhouse gases than any other country, but some states are astonishingly more prolific polluters than others _ and it's not always the ones you might expect.
The Associated Press analyzed state-by-state emissions of carbon dioxide from 2003, the latest U.S. Energy Department numbers available. The review shows startling differences in states' contribution to climate change.
The biggest reason? The burning of high-carbon coal to produce cheap electricity.
Wyoming's coal-fired power plants produce more carbon dioxide in just eight hours than the power generators of more populous Vermont do in a year.
Texas, the leader in emitting this greenhouse gas, cranks out more than the next two biggest producers combined, California and Pennsylvania, which together have twice Texas' population.
_In sparsely populated Alaska, the carbon dioxide produced per person by all the flying and driving is six times the per capita amount generated by travelers in New York state.
"There's no question that some states have made choices to be greener than others," said former top Energy Department official Joseph Romm, author of the new book "Hell and High Water" and executive director of a nonprofit energy conservation group.
The disparity in carbon dioxide emissions is one of the reasons there is no strong national effort to reduce global warming gases, some experts say. National emissions dipped ever so slightly last year, but that was mostly because of mild weather, according to the Energy Department.
Mark B, let's just say her habit of dine&ditch would be done at Denny's, not L'Hermitage.

A list of energy inventions that have somehow avoided being utilized in the marketplace:You may not believe that all of them work, but it would be very difficult to claim that none of them do. Here is the evidence. You decide for yourself. Hydrogen powerIn 1978, Yull Brown of Sydney, Australia, developed a method of extracting hydrogen from water and utilizing it as car fuel and as fuel for welders. After much publicity (see Australia's The Bulletin, August 22, 1989), he had managed to raise over $2 million, but has failed to fully develop his invention. Francisco Pacheco, an inventor from Bolivia, created the "Pacheco Bi-Polar Autoelectric Hydrogen Generator" (U.S. Patent No. 5,089,107), which separates hydrogen from seawater. He has built successful prototypes that have fueled a car, a motorcycle, a lawnmower, a flashlight, and a boat. And most recently, in 1990, he energized an entire home in West Milford with the device. After many conferences (including at the United Nations) and public exhibitions proving the invention's worth, the wider community is still unable to utilize this technology. Edward Estevel of Spain developed a classic "water to auto engine" system in the late 1960s, extracting hydrogen out of water to use as fuel. This system was highly heralded - then, amid rumors of foul play, like many other "high hope" hydrogen systems. During the mid-1970s, Sam Leach of Los Angeles developed a revolutionary hydrogen extraction process. The unit easily extracted free hydrogen from water and was small enough to fit under the hood of an automobile. In 1976, two independent labs in LA tested this generator with perfect results. M.J. Mirkin, who began the Budget car rental system, purchased the rights to the device from the inventor, who was said to be very concerned about his personal security. Rodger Billings of Provo, Utah, headed a group of inventors that developed a system converting ordinary cars to run on hydrogen. Instead of using heavy hydrogen tanks, he used metal alloys called hydrides to store vast amounts of hydrogen. When hot exhaust gases passed through these hydride containers they released the gas to burn in standard engines. Billings estimated the conversion would cost around $500 (US) and would provide greatly improved fuel consumption. Archie Blue, an inventor from Christchurch, New Zealand, developed a car that runs purely on water by the extraction of hydrogen. An alleged offer of $500 million from "Arab interests" was not enough to convince him to sell, but nevertheless he has been unable to take his engine to the marketplace. Electric Engines In 1976, Wayne Henthron of Los Angeles built an Electromatic Auto that managed to regenerate its own electricity. In normal stop-and-go driving, it gave several hundred miles of service between recharges. The system worked by wiring the batteries to act as capacitors once the car was moving along, with four standard alternators acting to keep the batteries charged. With littl

Faced with an estimated 40 percent falloff in small-donor contributions and aging phone-bank equipment that the RNC said would cost too much to update, Anne Hathaway, the committee’s chief of staff, summoned the solicitations staff and told them they were out of work, effective immediately, fired staff members told The Times.
Several of the solicitors fired at the May 24 meeting reported declining contributions and a donor backlash against the immigration proposals now being pushed by Mr. Bush and Senate Republicans…

resolved to make the car available to the public. To do so, he is now involved with the World Federation of Science and Engineering, 15532 Computer Lane, Huntington Beach, CA 92649. In 1969, Joseph R. Zubris developed an electric car circuit design (U.S. Patent No. 3,809,97
that he estimated cost him $100 a year to operate. Using an old 10-horsepower electric truck motor, he worked out a unique system to get peak performance from his old 1961 Mercury engine that he ran from this power plant. The device actually cut energy drain on the electricity, starting at 75 percent. And by weakening excitation after getting started, it produced a 100 percent mileage gain over conventional electric motors. The inventor was shocked to find the lack of reaction from larger business interests, and so, in the early 1970s, began selling licenses to interested smaller concerns for $500. His last known address was Zubris Electrical Company, 1320 Dorchester Ave, Boston, MA 02122. At I.W. International, an inventor's workshop, Richard Diggs developed a Liquid Electricity Engine that he believed could power a large truck for 25,000 miles from a single portable unit of his electrical fuel. The inventor pointed out that liquid electricity violated a number of the well-known physical laws. He also was aware of the profound impact the invention could have upon the world's economy if it were developed. B. Von Platen, a 65-year-old Swedish inventor, made a major breakthrough in the field of thermo-electric engines with his Hot and Cold Engine. The inventor's secret breakthrough was based on the fact that wires of different metals produce electricity if they are joined and heated. This technique is said to give more than a percent increase of efficiency over regular motors, and with a radioactive isotope for power it could be operated completely without fossil fuels. Volvo of Sweden bought the rights to this in 1975.Steam Engines In 1970, Oliver Yunick developed a super-efficient steam engine (see Popular Science magazine, December 1970). It was able to compete admirably with combustion engines. In 1971, DuPont Laboratories built an advanced steam engine utilizing a recyclable fluid of the Freon family. It is assumed to contain no need for an external condenser, valves, or tubes (Popular Science January 1972). Also in 1971, William Bolon of Rialto, California, developed an unusual steam engine design that was said to get up to 50 miles to the gallon. The engine used only 17 moving parts, weighed less than 50 pounds, and in automatics eliminated the usual transmission and drive-train. After much publicity, the inventor's factory was fire-bombed, with damages totaling $600,000. Letters to the White House were ignored. The inventor finally gave up and let Indonesian interests have the design. Air Power In 1931, Roy J. Meyers of Los Angeles built an air-powered car (air has been used for years to power localized underground mine engines). Myers, an engineer, built a 114-lb., 6-

A list of energy inventions that have somehow avoided being utilized in the marketplace:You may not believe that all of them work, but it would be very difficult to claim that none of them do. Here is the evidence. You decide for yourself. Hydrogen powerIn 1978, Yull Brown of Sydney, Australia, developed a method of extracting hydrogen from water and utilizing it as car fuel and as fuel for welders. After much publicity (see Australia's The Bulletin, August 22, 1989), he had managed to raise over $2 million, but has failed to fully develop his invention. Francisco Pacheco, an inventor from Bolivia, created the "Pacheco Bi-Polar Autoelectric Hydrogen Generator" (U.S. Patent No. 5,089,107), which separates hydrogen from seawater. He has built successful prototypes that have fueled a car, a motorcycle, a lawnmower, a flashlight, and a boat. And most recently, in 1990, he energized an entire home in West Milford with the device. After many conferences (including at the United Nations) and public exhibitions proving the invention's worth, the wider community is still unable to utilize this technology. Edward Estevel of Spain developed a classic "water to auto engine" system in the late 1960s, extracting hydrogen out of water to use as fuel. This system was highly heralded - then, amid rumors of foul play, like many other "high hope" hydrogen systems. During the mid-1970s, Sam Leach of Los Angeles developed a revolutionary hydrogen extraction process. The unit easily extracted free hydrogen from water and was small enough to fit under the hood of an automobile. In 1976, two independent labs in LA tested this generator with perfect results. M.J. Mirkin, who began the Budget car rental system, purchased the rights to the device from the inventor, who was said to be very concerned about his personal security. Rodger Billings of Provo, Utah, headed a group of inventors that developed a system converting ordinary cars to run on hydrogen. Instead of using heavy hydrogen tanks, he used metal alloys called hydrides to store vast amounts of hydrogen. When hot exhaust gases passed through these hydride containers they released the gas to burn in standard engines. Billings estimated the conversion would cost around $500 (US) and would provide greatly improved fuel consumption. Archie Blue, an inventor from Christchurch, New Zealand, developed a car that runs purely on water by the extraction of hydrogen. An alleged offer of $500 million from "Arab interests" was not enough to convince him to sell, but nevertheless he has been unable to take his engine to the marketplace. Electric Engines In 1976, Wayne Henthron of Los Angeles built an Electromatic Auto that managed to regenerate its own electricity. In normal stop-and-go driving, it gave several hundred miles of service between recharges. The system worked by wiring the batteries to act as capacitors once the car was moving along, with four standard alternators acting to keep the batteries charged. With little of

Reading over the reports of this alleged JFK terror plot, I again feel the odd sense of dissonance and contradiction one always gets reading the initial reports of these alleged terror plots. A knowledgeable reader tells me the whole concept of this attack basically doesn't make sense -- in the sense that you could get the sort of chain reaction some folks on tv are talking about. And, indeed, this key fact is tepidly noted in the coverage itself, where DHS officials concede that the plot "was not technically feasible."
The relevant information from this report at CNN suggests that the key plotter, Russell Defreitas, is not a bright man.
Here's part of the transcript of one of his conversations with the FBI ...
"Anytime you hit Kennedy, it is the most hurtful thing to the United States. To hit John F. Kennedy, wow ... they love JFK -- he's like the man. If you hit that, this whole country will be in mourning. It's like you can kill the man twice."
Defreitas also appeared to think that blowing up a gas line at JFK would bring the US economy to its knees: "Even the Twin Towers can't touch it. This can destroy the economy of America for some time."
Buckeye: You?
No... think smaller, with four legs... will be five years old, Wednesday.

Well, asking them to 'refrain' indicates that the RTA head honchos don't ride the bus. You don't 'ask' them, you tell them. The drivers could enforce the codes, they choose not to. And yet, RTA wonders why they keep losing passengers. 'Cause riding the bus is very unpleasant.

I don't think Tweety *abandoned* such things -- he was NEVER capable of any of them. | flory
Yeah, that's true enough, I suppose.
I really haven't been able or willing to hold my nose and research Tweety's nefarious career in detail, but my intermittent view of him on teevee leads me to believe that he truly "arrived" when he moved into his spacious stall in Jack Welch's crypto-fascist NBC news stable of Irish-Catholic infotainwhores. It seems a pretty straightforward deal with the devil, in which Tweety not only gets rich but is more or less "given his head".
So he can indulge his creepy closet-queen bitchiness as it pleases him. I'm not even sure it's a matter of people like Welch explicitly coaching or directing their performers; I think it's more of a matter of embracing them in an elite community and letting the natural enzymes of conformity and ambition disintegrate the already-atrophied soul and generate a natural synchronization of perspective.
But yeah, I'm probably so caught up in watching him thrive while totally unmoored that I give him too much credit for having been tethered very tightly to the earth in the first place.
Just got on-line and heard the news.
DAMMIT!

The Icelandic Phallological Museum is probably the only museum in the world to contain a collection of phallic specimens belonging to all the various types of mammal found in a single country.
Phallology is an ancient science which, until recent years, has received very little attention in Iceland, except as a borderline field of study in other academic disciplines such as history, art, psychology, literature and other artistic fields like music and ballet. .
Now, thanks to The Icelandic Phallological Museum, it is finally possible for individuals to undertake serious study into the field of phallology in an organized, scientific fashion. .
The Icelandic Phallological Museum contains a collection of over one hundred and fifty penises and penile parts belonging to almost all the land and sea mammals that can be found in Iceland. Visitors to the museum will encounter thirty eight specimens belonging to fifteen different kinds of whale, one specimen taken from a rogue polar bear, nineteen specimens belonging to seven different kinds of seal and walrus, and ninety three specimens originating from nineteen different kinds of land mammal: all in all, a total of one hundred fifty one specimen belonging to forty two different kinds of mammal. It should be noted that the museum has also been fortunate enough to receive a legally-certified gift token for a future specimen belonging to Homo Sapiens.
In addition to the biological section of the museum, visitors can view the collection of about one hundred artistic oddments and other practical utensils related to the museum´s chosen theme. .

And to dare to true Rooneyness, what is up with this horrible rasping screech in lieu of ringtones? I dimly suspect that these are downloaded music files of some sort, but there is zero-fidelity or definition in the minimally-modulated signal.
You're sitting there when this blast of impure white noise suddenly hisses behind you. Is it music? Hip-hop? Vocal stylings? Impossible to tell.
Remember the Fifties, when cheap and tinny Japanese-made transistor radios first flooded the market? Whatever's supposed to be coming from these state-of-the-art cell phones sounds way worse than that.

He sent a bunch of soldiers into Vietnam, for one thing.
The VietNam thing JFK inherited, and the Bay Of Pigs was not entirely his doing either. One man cannot prevent the mic, which Smedley ButlerUSMC Eisenhower and others repeatedly warned against, from doing its destructive hostage taking of peace for blood profit thing, but a few can and have allowed it to become an unacceptable corruption of everything America actually represents.

JFK attempted to restore our sole Congressional Authority to issue our own U.S. currency. After his shooting, at which he was not surrounded by any protective guards as standard protocol dictates, and at which there appears to be photographic evidence George Bush among others was present, Johnson escalated Viet Nam. Nixon removed the last vestiges of Congressional Authority to issue currency in order to pay for what had by that time become an extremely expensive and failed adventure in terms of American lives lost, social division and unrest, and, of course, money. A few parties, however, profited vastly.

Ah, validation, sweeter than honey!

I have the same JFK trauma that's been mentioned upthread. 3rd grade in parochial school, and the principal tried unsuccessfully to use the PA system to transmit radio coverage of the assassination.
So at first there were these weird squawks and bursts of static and garble from the loudspeaker mounted in a box on the wall that had never been used before. And finally the teacher left the room-- leaving some name-taking capo in charge, no doubt-- and finally came back and told us what was going on.
I vaguely remember being dismissed early, although by the time the confusion settled down the day was pretty much, um, shot. I have scattered memories of being home that evening watching various family members slumped in grief or crying in front of the teevee.
Anyhoo, despite my burned-in nostalgia and even affection for JFK, it's beyond doubt that he believed that it was necessary for a president to demonstrate his toughness by waging war, including covert war. JFK was more than a casual acquaintance of Ngo Dinh Diem, and was deeply involved in the events surrounding the collapse of the Diem regime and the subsequent death of Diem.
JFK, however reluctantly, supported US military involvement in Vietnam to contain the Communist threat and demonstrate American muscle and resolve. Accordingly, as others have mentioned, logistical and eventually tactical military support escalated during JFK's administration. LBJ, haunted by the same morbid Achilles' Heel fear of appearing weak, felt compelled to continue the work in order to prevail.
It's another dimension of the "Camelot" mystique-- Le Morte d'Arthur.
JFK's hands were not clean, by any means. Whether he might have eventually redeemed that legacy will never be known. I'd like to think that JFK might've evolved like his brother Robert did.
I've never quite figured out how that worked.

JFK's hands were not clean, by any means. Whether he might have eventually redeemed that legacy will never be known. I'd like to think that JFK might've evolved like his brother Robert did.
Actually, there is documentation that showed he wanted to get us out of Vietnam after realizing how much an error it was.

Agave, she's mentioned that it's only if they're using them. And, especially in secondary school, they're using them to cheat. So I don't have a problem if a teacher wants to confiscate them for the duration of the class.

I feel sad about Steve because I liked reading his stuff, but I feel guilty about feeling sad because I don't want to be a grief ghoul.
it's damn rude to have a phone conversation in the middle of class when I'm trying to teach and others are trying to pay attention.
I just tell them I get paid the same whether they learn this shit or not, and request they take it outside. Then I stare silently at them and wait until they're gone.

One of the subsequent interesting things about Jonestown was that the United States did not -insist- that the various legal actions be taken in the United States, by the United States. Rather, they specifically relinquished such matters to the local authorities. The consequence of a colonial state existing, as an independent nation, under British common law.

Anyone who thinks SF is such a hotbed of loony liberalism should check out that verdict.
There's still plenty of those old-style "values" types living out in the Avenues. Cops that go to trial for blowing the shit out of some innocent bystander are never convicted in the City. The juries are almost always packed with the west-of-Twin Peak conservatives.
Monica, well, she does appear to have very good receptive language, which is more than you can say for your average Republican.
Moscone and Milk were murdered in SF. //that it was done by some sort of pre-programmed Jonestown assassin.

Nope, not at all. You have no right to a cell phone, or to use it in a way that annoys the crap out of other people. So if you're on a bus, or a classroom, or a work, you don't have a right to use it.

Anyone who thinks SF is such a hotbed of loony liberalism should check out that verdict.
I still don't get that. From what was written at the time it was a clear case of pre-meditated murder. You get a gun, climb through a basement window, avoid being seen by nearly everyone in the building, shoot two people to death, and leave the scene of the crime. What is not pre-meditated about that?
I would make a rule that phones must be off in class, but if a student forgets and the phone rings and they just turn it off, then fine.
That's what generally happens. That's not a rule in and of itself, that's a minor circumstance. Although from our lowly point as students we are tired of forgetful ditzes who always claim to be innocent because they're used to male teachers tolerating them. Yuri had a class with a deeply stupid boy who interrupted every three minutes to either ask totaly, categorically irrelevant questions or hit on a nearby and equally stupid girl, who also liked asking stupid questions. It became impossible to stay as the teacher, a newbie with problems of her own, made no effort whatsoever to discipline the class. Te morons had no idea that they were interrupting and were therefore as innocent as one who "forgets" to turn the damn phone off.
Instead, it was just another right-wing prick.

There were huge discrepencies between the claims of the Americans, who either deliberately botched the investigation or had no idea what they were doing, and the Guyanans. Also there were several elite military units that just happened to be training nearby, because, you know, that happens. Jones had the standard spook bio before his apotheosis -- no real occupation yet he can scare up government-sized investment money, pseudo socialist talk resembles a birchers or a langley winger's idea of socialism, synanon-like interest in mind control experimentation in the name of therapy/spirituality.

Let's face it, Agave, you hate teachers. That's fine with me, but don't call us tyrants because we set classroom policies.
JFK and the Diem Coup
[...] The documentary record is replete with evidence that President Kennedy and his advisers, both individually and collectively, had a considerable role in the coup overall, by giving initial support to Saigon military officers uncertain what the U.S. response might be, by withdrawing U.S. aid from Diem himself, and by publicly pressuring the Saigon government in a way that made clear to South Vietnamese that Diem was isolated from his American ally. In addition, at several of his meetings (Documents 7, 19, 22) Kennedy had CIA briefings and led discussions based on the estimated balance between pro- and anti-coup forces in Saigon that leave no doubt the United States had a detailed interest in the outcome of a coup against Ngo Dinh Diem. The CIA also provided $42,000 in immediate support money to the plotters the morning of the coup, carried by Lucien Conein, an act prefigured in administration planning Document 17).
The ultimate effect of United States participation in the overthrow of Ngo Dinh Diem was to commit Washington to Saigon even more deeply. Having had a hand in the coup America had more responsibility for the South Vietnamese governments that followed Diem. That these military juntas were ineffectual in prosecuting the Vietnam war then required successively greater levels of involvement from the American side. The weakness of the Saigon government thus became a factor in U.S. escalations of the Vietnam war, leading to the major ground war that the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson opened in 1965.

Sadly, I think you're correct.
In theory, cell phones are fine idea. There are times when the bus has broken down on the way to work, I would have loved to have one so I could call my boss and let her know. Or if your car breaks down. Or if your plane's delayed in taking off, etc.
But for the most part, people seem to use it to yell loudly into a small device, and share with the world their life. You want to share your life, go on Jerry Springer. Don't bother me with it.
Yup. That's why I don't give a shit if they miss or not. My paycheck ain't based on how many people fail.

I always make that very clear on day one. I want them to succeed, but if they choose not to, it doesn't hurt me at all.
While sitting stopped at traffic lights, I've almost been rear-ended twice by people talking on cell phones while driving. That screech of rubber as they hit the brakes at the last second is not reassuring.
Once, while stopped at a traffic light, the woman in the car in the lane next to me WAS hit from behind by another person talking on a cell phone. They should definitely be banned from use while driving.
There are a very few classes where we would be sympathetic to agave's point about flexibility, but this is because the gist of the class is an enormous amount of work done outside, and the class lectures are either because of the teacher or the material or both totally useless. There aren't many classes like that though, but there are programs with testing-out or similar options if you want. James Woods graduated from MIT like that, acting in plays most of his time, then showing up for finals. They don't allow that any more.
"I don't waste my students' time; they better not waste mine."
Haha, remember when Spicoli ordered pizza to class and Mr. Hand ate it? Godd times.
I once had a student who missed almost every Friday and a lot of Mondays (MWF class) because her boyfriend was at a campus a hundred miles away and didn't have a car (cause his dad was like, a total dick...she liked to chat before class started and figured the old fat guy arranging papers up at the desk couldn't hear 'cause he was like, at least thirty). I pointed out the damage to her semester grade about three weeks before the final. She was shocked. On her class evaluation, she wrote in all caps, THE INSTRUCTOR SHOULD CLEARLY STATE HIS ATTENDENCE POLICY ON THE SYLLABLE!!

People get on their cell phones and you hear fucking everything. I don't care if you're talking about what time you're getting home or what's for dinner, but your brother's drug addicition? How you're gonna fuck your girlfriend tonight?
What I esp. like are deep, detailed discussions about workplace problems, including names, departments, and companies. I once thought about calling someone at a place I had no other connection with to tell her what her co-workers thought of her. I could have tracked her down in an instant.

California is banning the use of hand-held cellphones while driving some time next year. That cannot happen soon enough; it should have happened five years ago. And I think the hands-free gizmos (Bluetooth or what have you) are no better. People are still going to be on the phone and distracted.

Every study I've seen about the subject says there's basically no difference between hand-held and hands-free phones. It's the act of talking on the phone that is distracting.

I think that's why people feel like they've entered the "cone of silence" mentioned earlier when talking on cell phones in public spaces.

Exactly correct. If someone is sitting next to you in the car and you stop talking they recognize the reason why - turning, signaling or being distracted momentarily. However on the phone your silence is misinterpreted like those commercials where the phone drops out. There are no visual cues when talking over the phone.
It is different.

Apparently it does. I used to maintain that cellphones in cars were no more distracting than having a normal conversation with a passenger. But a recent study (I'd have to look for the cite) and others suggest that's not the case. Most likely because we evolved in an environment where there was no delay and other non-verbal cues, so processing is different when talking to a disembodied voice in the Magic Box.

True. So what is the point about cell phones?
Cell phones are a great technological boon, but it must be used with respect to other people. When I receive a call on my cell I excuse myself and take the call in private. It's not fair to subject a stranger to my conversation. There isn't a problem with cell phones per se. It's the way cell phones are used and abused that gets people all pissed off. My son is allowed to carry a cell phone at school, but there is no texting, no calling and no answering during class time.

Most likely because we evolved in an environment where there was no delay and other non-verbal cues, so processing is different when talking to a disembodied voice in the Magic Box.
Exactly. It takes a different level and type of concentration.
I liken it to some things I've read about news and combat cameramen -- staring through the eye-piece on the camera, it's as though that becomes reality and they feel that the other reality (the one where bullets are flying ot whatever) can't really touch them.
BTW -- there was an NBC reporter and cameraman with the Ryan group when they were gunned down in Guyana. The cameraman filmed the attack -- until he was shot and dropped the camera on the ground. The footage is chilling.

Frank Rich comparing Nixon to Bush -
Nixon came from nothing, loathed himself and was all too keenly aware when he was up to dirty tricks. Mr. Bush has a charmed biography, is full of himself and is far too blinded by self-righteousness to even fleetingly recognize the havoc he’s inflicted at home and abroad.

It's funny, one of my earliest memories of blogging was at Steve's original blog, before I became a regular here. I got into an argument with Steve in the comments. iirc, it was about German Weimar politics in 1932-33, and who was more to blame for Hitler getting into power. A subject near and dear to my heart, but he knew his history backwards and forwards.
