Abstract
After abandoning the philosophy of identity around 1807, Friedrich Schelling's writings take a radical turn towards the question of the enigma of freedom and the perdurability of evil - the “positive,” violent, and self-proliferating presence of malice in the world. In their rhetoric and in their arguments, these mournful texts evoke a ruinous universe that suffers uncontrolled egotistical destruction, culminating in the emergence of the phenomenon of absolute enmity, or what Schelling calls spirit's “war against all Being.” My wager is that these texts do more than form a critique of German Idealism. They also respond to the horror, brutality, and extremity of the Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary wars unfolding all around Schelling. How does philosophy bear witness to the obscene specter of the birth of “total war”? Schelling's middle-period texts, I suggest, struggle to answer this question.

"It was our only foreign representation, it was for a short tenure, and it was six years ago," Newsweek quoted Goodyear as saying. The magazine said Goodyear added that the junta's record in the current cyclone crisis is "reprehensible."
The Newsweek article also reported that some of Goodyear's allies worried the choice of Goodyear could fuel perceptions that McCain is surrounded by lobbyists. DCI Group earned $3 million last year lobbying for ExxonMobil, General Motors and other clients, the report said.
Newsweek also reported DCI has been a pioneer in running "independent" expenditure campaigns by so-called 527 groups, the kind of operations that McCain has denounced in his battle for campaign finance reform.
McCain sleeps with a quite unsavory K Street crowd.

Barack Obama began sketching the outlines of his expected presidential contest against Republican John McCain on Saturday, saying the fall election will be more about specific plans and priorities than about questions of political ideology or who is more patriotic.
Barely mentioning Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama said he was open to campaigning with McCain in "town hall" events. But he also warned that controversial issues such as McCain's ties to the Keating Five savings and loan scandal are fair game, and he called McCain's proposal for a temporary halt in the federal gasoline tax a pander and a gimmick.

Now, see, according to the LA Times, that's just an urban myth:
In mortgage market, ‘walkaway’ homeowners may be urban myth
Bankers and housing analysts say many homeowners, owing more than their homes are worth, are defaulting on their loans even when they can afford payments. But no hard numbers back up their claims.
I hope Bush doesn't watch South Park, otherwise his son in law is gonna spend the rest of his life being call "Mr. Hanky".

There used to be a thrift store in the town where I lived.
They did pretty well here till the guy decided he was an antique dealer and started trying to overcharge for stuff. They went out of business two years ago and folks moved in who have been doing rather well.
They "clean out" houses of furniture for when people pass on or move into retirement homes.
Nice well made, older furniture at nice prices.
Today, I bought a desk - mahogany, from the 1950s....with the nice drawer at the top and the larger drawers on the side. Really nice.
It was marked $59 - lady gave it to me for $50. They're going to deliver it Wednesday night.

The writers' strike is still being felt all over.
It's not the strike on this one. It's the collapse of the television animation industry due to the relaxation of ownership rules, which lets the networks run the exact same shows on Saturday morning broadcast that they run on the cable channels they (or their parent companies) own during the rest of the week -- like ABC running Disney Channel reruns on Saturday morning. Used to be that that was a no no. And there is virtually no animation syndication market anymore. I did a count a few years ago comparing 2004 with 1995 and there are 30 fewer SERIES being produced a year in animation, and a lot of those used to be 65 episode series.

US inflation rate, according to Europe, Asia, and other reality-based communities: 10%.
Have you read this month's Harpers, which gets into the lies of economic numbers?
Moe Szyslak
If we still measured inflation the same way it was measured before 1994, it would be over 11%.

TREASURE ISLAND, Fla. - An Ohio woman is recovering after a pelican slammed into her face while she was swimming in the Gulf of Mexico.
Debbie Shoemaker of Toledo, Ohio, was swimming Thursday near Treasure Island, a beach community west of St. Petersburg, when she felt something hit her face.
The bird's large beak ripped through her cheek, requiring 25 stitches.

Victor Victrola Orthophonic Credenza Phonograph that was recently acquired from a local estate. The Credenza is often considered the "King of Phonographs" and this particular Credenza would be suit for a King!
The mahogany cabinet of this Victrola retains its nice, original finish. There are very few blemishes (from typical wear and use) and are not really even noticeable on this great machine. The shiny factory finish is still there, and has been recently polished. Measures 31 x 22 x 46 inches.
The sound of this Credenza is simply breath-taking. It is amazing to think they had this kind of technology 80 years ago!

In a speech marking the 40th anniversary of the document, Benedict reiterated the Church's ban against artificial birth control as well as more recent teaching against using artificial procreation methods.

For, I guess. He was pig-bitin' mad because I'd posted something on the use of fungus to break DU into (IIRC) a uranyl salt. The article I quoted said DU was harmful, which made him very upset.
The really weird thing is, he was also upset about the uranium emitted by coal-fired plants, and wondered why people weren't protesting those, instead of DU munitions.
Of course, people protest coal plants all the time, for reasons that are a at least as pressing as radioactive ash.

Set in 18-carat white gold and platinum, each earring includes "chain-framed minted iced quartz teardrops with diamond detail," the press release said. The earrings were custom-made by Anthony Camargo and Nak Armstrong specifically for Jenna's wedding.

Nearly 800 superdelegates will attend the convention. Obama has endorsements from 275, according to the latest tally by The Associated Press. Clinton has 271.5.
Many of the superdelegates who endorsed Obama in the past week said it is time for the party to unite behind him. Obama is coming off a big win in North Carolina's Democratic primary Tuesday. Clinton narrowly won Indiana's primary the same day, but Obama did better than many expected.
Obama has added 20 superdelegates since and Clinton has had a net increase of two.
Kevin Rodriquez of the Virgin Islands said in a statement that he switched from Clinton to Obama because he thinks Obama has brought energy and excitement to the party.
"He has shown he can connect with Democrats, Republicans and independents across this country, whether we live on the mainland or an island," Rodriquez said.
In all, Obama added four superdelegates late Friday and Saturday. Clinton added one in Massachusetts, but lost the two in the Virgin Islands.
Clinton started the year with a 106-delegate lead among superdelegates, a margin that started to shrink after Obama won the Iowa caucuses in early January.

Coke me upthread, Nuts!

nice! In a reading mood myself - notice you all are talking about a woman with 18 kids - there's a Button Shop on St. Denis (Montreal) just a block or so up from Mont-Royal on the west side of the street and the owner has a picture of his family and 24 siblings! I asked him if he could name them all without looking at the picture and he said he could (took him at his word), but not all his nephews and neices.
How awesome to have an army of kin to stand beside you? - how mental would living with these same people make you? A Button Shop on St. Denis... (cue French accordian music)

Jack of all trades wedding entertainment
The décor, said Sally McDonough, Mrs. Bush's press secretary, as designed by the first lady, “is very natural. In her words, she’s using colors that are already in the landscape. The blues of the lake, the greens of the grasses, the different colors of the wildflowers, which are predominantly lavenders and blues and yellows in May.” The entertainment is the Nashville-based Super T Band, which she described as playing "classic rock, funky, rhythm and blues and soul. He performed at the White House in December 2003.

I was raised in a Northern Baptist (TAB) church, which was pretty cool until its fundy wing tried to fire the pastor (who they had original hired) because he refused to expel a bisexual member. Then my whole family quit. We were pretty much just in it for the music anyway. We're still friends with many fellow ex-members of that church.

We've had two great ski trips to Alta, and a camping trip to Arches, Zion and Bryce Canyon. All were great.
Zion is amazing. I've hiked a ways up the river a few times...the canyon walls get so tight in places you can't even see the sky.
It's very thought-provoking when you see tree trunks embedded in the walls twenty feet up from previous flash floods.

Let's get Googling
It was the president’s idea, she said, to have constructed a giant cross made of Texas limestone – the same material used to construct the Bushes’ Crawford home. The limestone, she said, is from a local quarry. The wedding altar, she said, is in front of the cross. The wedding will be officiated by a Bush family friend, the Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell, the senior pastor of Windsor Village United Methodist Church, a 14,000-member megachurch in Houston. He has been described as one of President Bush’s spiritual advisers.
Now that we all agree that Rev. Wright is a very wise man we need to listen to other wise African American ministers like Gregory Daniels -

Jenna isn't thrilled with McCain.
Also, I read where she begged her father when he was fucking up the state of Texas NOT to execute Karla Faye Tucker.
She and Barbara also attended the gay wedding of a friend of theirs,

Teen use of pot can lead to dependency, mental illness
WASHINGTON (AP) - Depression, teens and marijuana are a dangerous mix that can lead to dependency, mental illness or suicidal thoughts, according to a White House report being released Friday.
A teen who has been depressed at some point in the past year is more than twice as likely to have used marijuana as teens who have not reported being depressed - 25 percent compared with 12 percent, said the report by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
"Marijuana is a more consequential substance of abuse than our culture has treated it in the last 20 years," said John Walters, director of the office. "This is not just youthful experimentation that they'll get over as we used to think in the past."
Smoking marijuana can lead to more serious problems, Walters said in an interview.

Experts who have worked with children say there's nothing harmless about marijuana.
"I've seen many, many kids' lives negatively impacted and taken off track because of marijuana," said Elizabeth Stanley-Salazar, director of adolescent services for Phoenix House treatment centers in California. "It's somewhat Russian roulette. There are so many factors, emotional, psychological, biological. You can't predict the experimentation and how it will impact a kid."

You know what that always turns out to be is consequences from smoking, not smoking marijuana, things that would totally not apply if the active ingredient were administered in a pill, and also consequences of lifestyle choices that have nothing to do with marijuana.

However, while
Reefer Madness remains a classic, the discourse about reefer always covers the exact same ground and to no effect.
In other words, kids, it's getting late and i ought to get supper and get to bed. Another 16 hour day awaits.
We don't like libtards, but we adore Saying Yes by Libertarian and Reason editor Jacob Sullum, and it's impossible not to love it because he very patiently takes this utter lying bullshit and has his way with it until it is no longer possible to tolerate the sliughtest flicker of sympathy for the "war on drugs."
